There's a song that's inside of my soul

 "Its the one that ive tried to write over and over again"


Hey yall! I hope your week has been amazing! My week has definitely been a week! We had transfers last Tuesday and oh man since then, it's honestly gone down hill... this week dragged on so long. 

I really don't have much to say this week so it's gonna be a short email this week lol. 

I had my first baptism! Yesterday, our sweet friend Kenia made the choice to be baptized and the baptism was beautiful! It made me so happy that she made the choice to get baptized! 

We got to watch conference with the cute Villalobos family yesterday and Hna. Villalobos had us all make a guess as to how many temples were going to be announced. She said that the winner got a taco party. I think she secretly knew because she guessed 17 and was the only one to guess 17... sooo... she definitely knew. She's a time traveler or something 😂 



Highlights- 
•Tried Boba for the first time last week... not worth all the hype
•Welcomed Sister Jewell to the house
•Watched and understood conference in Spanish ✨️
•Ate some bomb food! 
•Kenia got baptized
•We taught a fire lesson in between sessions of conference on Saturday so that was cool! This friend wants to learn the gospel so bad! 
•I saw a siamese cat that looked exactly like Anna's dahlia! It's okay Anna, dahlia is okay. She's here in Cali



La escritora de la semana...
Alma 32:16 

16 Por tanto, benditos son aquellos que se humillan sin verse obligados a ser humildes; o más bien, en otras palabras, bendito es el que cree en la palabra de Dios, y es bautizado sin obstinación de corazón; sí, sin habérsele llevado a conocer la palabra, o siquiera compelido a saber, antes de creer.

16 Therefore, blessed are they who humble themselves without being compelled to be humble; or rather, in other words, blessed is he that believeth in the word of God, and is baptized without stubbornness of heart, yea, without being brought to know the word, or even compelled to know, before they will believe.


Have a beautiful week! Mostly because I said so but mainly because you want to! 🤟💕

Lemon boy and me...

  "Started to get along, together.."  Just kidding... my "lemon boy" and I still have not found a way to "get along" (work together). I want something and they want something else. Every time I ask them to do one thing for me, their response is, "cant we just do that later?" And then they continue walking away. And then, when they ask me if we can do something and I respond with, "cant we do that later?" They throw a fit. Its great. I love it... Also, Lo siento in advance (just skip to the end) On Thursday morning, I was able to get a priesthood blessing from my awesome cousin, Elder Welch! It is so unique getting priesthood blessing, but even more unique receiving one from your family. I personally hate asking for help (so having the courage to ask for a blessing is not on my radar) but luckily, I have the most wonderful mom who reached out to Elder Guymon (who is my 6th cousin) and Elder Welch (who is my first cousin) and asked both o...

How come all the best things fall apart

 "And it started pretty slowly..." The song has nothing to do with the email this week... I just wanted to use a Benson Boone song... sooo.... yeah Happy Monday! I hope your week has been great! Send me an email! I'd love to hear about it!  This past week for me was great? I don't know... I'm really bad about feeling feelings. I will apologize in advance as my thoughts are all over the place. So be grateful that I can compose half comprehensible sentences.  Last Monday, I got it approved from the Pres to go buy an acoustic guitar today so hopefully we can find the time to do that! I have been playing my comps guitar but, come time for transfers, I may not be with her and won't, for sure, have a guitar to play to fill my time.  Tacos, tacos, and MORE tacos! Am I complaining? Absolutely not! We have had street tacos almost every single night and I love them! One of the families we ate with had something close to like a taco bar... they had like 4 different meats...

Even when the dark comes crashing through...

  "When you need a friend to carry you, when youre broken on the ground, you will be found"  You will be found from dear evan hansen has been stuck in my head for the past couple days and I'm not sure why... am I complaining? No. Not at all. We all at times need a friend to carry us through the dark times and when we find ourselves broken on the ground. I guess that is the cool thing about missionary work.  God has prepared so many people for me to find and to teach about His Gospel! I get to be the friend to carry them through the dark times and when they are "broken on the ground". I hate being social but I LOVE helping others. One full transfer in and I have already found so many amigos who just need a friend to carry them through their hard times! And to help them find joy in the Gospel and growing their relationship with God!  Hola Tonotos (see attatched picture at the end)... Our barrio had a fiesta on Saturday! It was a culture celebration! Everyone broug...
