Heavenly father, I am greatful for your eternal presence (semana 26)

 "I am learning to be patient, and you are really there..." 


Im alive! Dont you even worry! We moved PDay this week to Wednesday because we got to go to the temple this morning so Monday had to be a normal working day... 

Anyways...Wow! 6 months as a missionary today! 184 days. That really doesnt seem like a long time but it definitely has felt like a long time. 

I would love to share some of the things I have learned in these past 6 months...

People are amazing! We talk to SO MANY people every single day!! Sure you get way too many people who say "were not interested" or "get off my property, you dont belong here" but then we get others who are genuinely interested and want to learn more! I have never had to rely on the Spirit more heavily in my life than I have in the past 6 months! 

I have finally found the importance of daily studies! We have the opportunity to take 1 hour of personal study. It normally ends up being our 9-10 hour which starts out our morning and I LOVE it! Surprisingly enough, I have seen a difference in the days I get my personal study and the days I don't. 

Gods work is truly moving forward! After 4 and a half months, I finally got to go to the temple this morning! It was amazing! We went as all the sisters in the Ontario zones! And it was so good to go yet again! 

God puts so many people in your path to help you grow! I have had 4 companions so far and we definitely have had some good days and some difficult ones. But God knows that you are strong and he is giving you those people so you can figure out why! It may be hard at times to see it but they are just like you and beautiful children of a loving heavenly father! 

I cannot wait to see what the next 12 months bring and what growth I will see from them! 

Mission life truly is crazy! But I am glad I get to experience it! 

There are so many other things I have learned but, for now, one more thing I have come to find the importance of is prayer! Prayer is a communication between you and God. You can bring ANYTHING up with him and he is always listening! 

Speaking of prayer, I've got a couple people that could use some prayers right now
The Steen's: that they might find comfort 
Lilly: that all will be alright and that she may know just how loved she is
Mayvin: that her dads heart may be softened
Maribel: that she may follow her deepest desire
Hallel: that she may know Gods timing always differs
Kenia: that she may follow the promptings of the spirit 


If yall could add these people to your prayers, it would be much appreciated! I know that they all could use some comfort at this time. California could also use some prayers. We've got some crazy fires going on and the wind is blowing non stop. 



Escritura de la semana...

Alma 34:32

32 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.

32 Porque he aquí, esta vida es cuando el hombre debe prepararse para comparecer ante Dios; sí, el día de esta vida es el día en que el hombre debe ejecutar su obra.

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...
