04.24.17 - Press Forward With Faith and Steadfastness in Christ

Hello friends and family!!!

We're doing great here in Mexico. every week is a little hotter, and the raining season will be coming here pretty quick. :) this last week was pretty wonderful. Every week just keeps getting better and better. I love this work so much, and that I get to be a missionary in this time.

This last Sunday, we got to talk in sacrament meeting about missionary work, and what Gordon B. Hinckley wrote about it in "The Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley", and it was pretty great. I want to encourage all of you to read his book... it's wonderful :) I love it. After speaking, we sang "I'll go where you want me to go" and yours truly got to play the piano. haha Wasn't the first time playing in our ward, but yeah. It was lots of fun :) hahaha. I am loving the field and getting to serve and teach with Hermana Can. She is such a sweetheart, and we teach great together.

This week, we shared the video from Easter with one of the less actives in our ward, and we talked about what Jesus Christ did for us by performing the Atonement... He did so much for us to make it possible to return home to our Heavenly Parents one day... and he did it with so much love. I can't wait for the day when I get to heaven, and I can thank him for making it possible for me to be clean and free from my sins. And for making it possible that I can live with my family for eternity, and that I can have an eternal family one day. The Spirit was so strong in that lesson, and really testified to me of all that he did, and the love that he offers us everyday. I am grateful for my Savior and Redeemer. And I am so grateful for the love that he has for me.

Always remember our Savior, Jesus Christ, and all that he did.

I love you so much and I hope you all have a wonderful week! Stay strong in the face of adversity, and press forward with faith :)

Lots of loves from Mexico!

01.16.17 - Changes!

Hello everyone!! I hope all of you are doing splendidly. I'm doing wonderful! I´m loving my mission so much! I love the people, I love the food, I love the mountains we have to climb everyday. The literal ones, and the spiritual ones. I am so grateful for this sacred time for me to learn, grow, and teach. Inviting others to come to Christ has been so incredible, because everyday we do it, my relationship with my Father in Heaven grows more and more. Changes! So last night, we got a phone call from our AP, and he let us know that we are having changes. I don´t know why, but I´m moving areas. I´m headed back up to Cuernavaca with some other missionaries. When I get more details, I let you all know why haha :) This last week was an awesome one! Lots of teaching, and lots of growing. We also discovered that my companion has low blood pressure, and bad circulation. So she needs to get some shots for it I guess... She´s been complaining of her arms and legs f...

7.3.17 - Independence Day

Hello Everybody! These last couple of weeks have been pretty great, and super busy. We're still tryin to get to know our area-it's pretty big haha. But it is super beautiful here, and I love it. LOVE IT. Tezoyuca is incredible, and super green. Basically it's the greatest. We had our Conference this last week and it was wonderful. The Spirit was super strong and I am loving being a missionary. I have learned so many things, and especially the last few weeks as a trainer, I feel like I've learned even more. My testimony and love for missionary work continues to grow, and I am more and more grateful each day for the opportunity to be here. We have challenges, but we grow so much more from them, and always come out on top. It has been an incredible process for me to see how much my companion, Sister Diaz is already progressing in her testimonies and being. She was already an incredible young woman when she came, but now, and with ea...

3.21.17 - Primera Cambios en el Campo!

Hola! Okay, so we had transfers today, and guess who I'm with?! That's right, Hermana Can from Cuernavaca. She is such an angel! I loved our one day together back in January, and I'm super excited to actually get to work with her for reals this time haha. We're doing great here in our little area of Sauces! We contacted lots of people this last week, like lots and lots. and we have new investigators! I love when we have new investigators. Because it means we get to teach! And the lessons are always my favorite :) We have a lot of people to contact this coming week as well. All in all, the work is coming along great, and I feel like I'm becoming more and more the missionary that my Heavenly Father wants me to be. I feel like I'm learning more and more each day and it's wonderful! I'm grateful for the time I had with Hermana Rosales, and all that I learned from her. And I'm excited to get to learn even more with my new companion. Every...
