Week 29: Arizona: got arroz con leche? 🥛🐄

 hi there!!

this week was better than last week!! 

milagros:

* we were on our way to an appointment and we found Ray!! got talking to him and he asked us about our calling as missionaries. then he told us he wanted to come closer to Jesus Christ and asked if we had a prayer book with us. we were like noooo :( BUT WE HAVE THE BOOK OF MORMON! so we gave him a marked copy and he was soo excited to read it was actually so precious. sadly he lives outside of the mission so we had to refer him:( pero meeting him definitely gave us a boost we desperately needed. it feels like we don't get to testify as much in this area so that was a huge blessing.

* we tried to find a former, and ended up meeting a guy named Gabriel! he was in the middle of moving boxes and we offered to help and he said sure! he said he used to be a member but was inactive. but anyways we got to help them move! and we were drenched in sweat but happy as clams because someone actually talked to us and let us help :) and so then afterwards we walked around the complex and found Arin! she has been going through some health challenges and knew it wasn't a coincidence we found her! we asked if she would like to bible study and she was ecstatic!! God's timing is perfect!!


other highlights:

* we have so much driving time, so we have started listening to the Book of Mormon. we started 4 days and are already almost finishe with Mosiah :) oh how i love the book of mormon.

* hna horton & i both love arroz con leche so we eat it with every meal :)



well my friends that's all i have got. let me know how you are doing!! sorry i don't always respond :( i always read them though and they make mi corazon so happy.
 

go give someone a hug! go do a random act of kindness! go tell your family you love them <3

have a beautiful week!

  dearest friends, thursday evening i was released from serving as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. my heart is brim with joy & gratitude for the sacred privilege to wear my Savior's name over my heart for the past year and a half. i testify that He lives!! i know He does!! i bear witness of His divinity. i have seen Him perform miracles. i have seen him change hearts. i have tasted of His goodness, and I know & can promise you that He is the only way to lasting joy & peace in this life and eternal life in the life to come. He is good. always. He invites each of His to partake of His daily bread & living water, that which perisheth not & leaves our souls feeling whole. i know that although He has the power to deliver us from any trial or hardship at any given moment, sometimes He doesn't. and when He doesn't, it is all for our eternal good, for He knows all things from the beginning. yet i know that even in the ...

Week 7: Arizona: Where did Susie's Head Go?!

  Qué tal?! This was a miracle week!!!!! As I mentioned last week, we have been struggling to find people to teach. On Saturday we got a text from one of our bishops that basically said that a man named Jeff had texted him because he has been thinking about joining the church for a while and he loves watching General Conference and he basically wants to get baptized...ISNT THAT AMAZING?!?! So Hna Sleight and I called him up and he was super excited and was like "Let's plan a time to get together tomorrow after sacrament meeting" and we were like YESSSSS. We met him yesterday and he is the absolute sweetest he is so eager to learn more and fits right in to the ward. Like literally we are having our first lesson with him tomorrow at a member's house. He has so much member support which is honestly so awesome. That was definitely the highlight of our week. Another miracle: so we think our neighbors have been out of town for the past 3 weeks because this week they have st...

Week 4: Mexico City/Arizona: Goodbye Mexico CCM ;(

Image
  Hi there!! I am in Arizona!!! Ahhhhh today was a long day. I had to be at my bus ready to leave the MTC at 1:30am, so Hermana Gomez and I decided we just wouldn't sleep and instead did some cramping packing and had a nutella with toast party.  Saying goodbye to my district was hard, we all became such great friends, but saying goodbye to Hermana Gomez was so sad I was actually devastated. She is going to do amazing things in Mérida. Once I got to the Mexico City airport I realized there were a bunch of other missionaries too, yay!! One of the hermanas had a ukelele, so while we were waiting by the gate she started playing hymns while me and another hermana sang along. So there we were, 3 hermanas singing super loud, its 4 in the morning and everyone is half asleep... It was actually so fun even though people were given us weird looks ahaha. Once we landed in the Dallas Airport we had to go to recheck our luggage. One of my pieces of luggage was not zipped (it looked like som...
