{Letter #3} Con Dios Usted Puede

    Hello hello!!

    This week was so lovely! Spanish can be challenging at times, the days are getting a bit repetitive, the food is still questionable but, the spirit is so strong here! I see miracles literally every single day.

    My district is so funny we have nicknames for everyone haha. Mine are Hermana Gooldilocks and Hermana Polama (dont ask) 🐦‍⬛
    Our district is all over when it comes to Spanish abilities, we have 3 who are fluent, 3 who have never taken any Spanish, and the rest of us who know Spanish pretty well! I think our teachers our struggling with how to teach to all the different levels, but everyone is making progress!

    I get so discouraged about my own inadequacies sometimes. The main lesson I've learned since being here at the MTC is that when we stop looking around or down at the world in embarrassment or shame and we start looking up to God for guidance, miracles do happen. As I have spent less time pondering my weaknesses I've been able to see God work through me more!

    A quote I love!
    "This young man finally stopped looking down in shame or looking sideways for excuses and rationalizations. He looked up for divine help, and he found it. Damon said: “ These days I spend a lot less time hating myself for what I have done and a lot more time loving Jesus for what He has done.”

    God has a plan for you! He will keep each of his promises! Ask him for help and trust his answers:)

    I love you all! I'm grateful for you prayers and emails! Email me about something that made you smile this week!
    Love, Hermana Gooldilocks 🫶

    Our family phone call this week. Ellie  at the MTC, Mom, Dad, and Spencer (stepped away for a moment) at home, and Cam and Oliver in Alabama.  It was a late and somewhat short phone call this week.   Ellie mentioned that one of the worst parts about her week was running out of gum and not being able to get any at the MTC.  😂
