All the leafs are brown, and the sky is gray (semana 27)

 "Ive been for a walk on a winters day. I'd be safe and warm if i was in LA" .... California dreaming on such a winter day


Sorry, we deal with humor here... 

Saturday morning, as I was getting ready for the day, I turned on a couple conference talks and one of the talks that I listened to was "take up your cross" given by Élder Ulisses Soares in Ocober 2019. I would like to challenge yall to read this talk and send me an email of what yall liked! Por favor 🙏

One of my favorite parts of this talk says. "as we continually strive to overcome our challenges, God will bless us with the gifts of faith to be healed and of the working of miracles. He will do for us what we are not capable of doing for ourselves."

Although it may be a challenge to take upon us our cross, God knows we can do it! We have some amazing cheerleaders on the side helping us carry our cross. I think of Ephraims rescue when the angels are shown pushing the handcart while the pioneers are pulling. We always have people on the other side just waiting to help! 

This weekend, I got a blessing from my District leader, Elder Eberheart, and one of the things that stuck out to me the most is that my Nana is with me and has been with me for the duration of my mission so far! I have been able to feel so many spirits with me but Nana and Papa have been with me pretty consistently for the past 6 months. 

The Redlands temple was so fun! Me and my compañeras de cuarto did endowments and the other sisters in Ontatio West did sealings. I was a little jealous I didn't get to do sealings but was super excited to be back at the temple nonetheless. 

I had an awesome exchange with my beautiful STL hermana Larsen! She is the cutest! She kept saying how we're the same person just flipped of each other 😂 I led out the area and it was a much needed exchange for the area. We did so many stopbys that day and they were very effective! 

I took what I learned from hna Larsen and finished the week out with trying to put in the most effective stopbys for our area. We were able to get so many EHVs set up and it was awesome! 

Okay... twas a short week and we really didnt do a lot... this week is Zone Conference so hopefully ill have more to write about next week!! 



Escritura de la semana... 

Alma 25:23

23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.

23 Porque nosotros trabajamos diligentemente para escribir, a fin de persuadir a nuestros hijos, así como a nuestros hermanos, a creer en Cristo y a reconciliarse con Dios; pues sabemos que es por la gracia por la que nos salvamos, después de hacer cuanto podamos;



Okay! Have an amazing 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...
