 feliz lunes mis queridos!!!

• our lesson with maria del mar was so so so amazing. she just has the purest most open heart ever. she has been reading from the book of mormon, and we have another lesson with her this week! please pray for her, the adversary has a tendency to snag people right at the beginning of teaching them and when they are about to be baptized 

• we got to go caroling at a nursing home!!

• went on a 1/2 exchange with my roomie hna hayden to her area!!! i just love her we had so much fun street contacting. even found cristian who is interested in learning more and lives in my area sooo that is exciting! had a super cool experience where it was getting late and we were about to leave an apartment complex, but we felt prompted to stop by 1 more member's home. he opens the door & we find out just a few minutes earlier he had received a prompting that he had to go back to church. and then we literally knocked on his door. so he was super excited to see us and we had a super tender lesson with him & the sisters are going to help him to get back to church and start teaching his girlfriend!!

• went on an exchange with sis mcminn to her area! its a biking area so we also had lots of fun street contacting. i just loveee biking areas it is so easy to just stop and talk to people. i just loveee exchanges they give me life!!!

  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 ...

  QuĆ© 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 ;(

  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 MĆ©rida. 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...
