{Letter #17} I Am Cool and Tall

Spiritual thought- Alma 32:21

And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.

Take one more step beyond your knowledge:) faith can be scary but there is a perfect guide and example you can follow while trying your best!

{Letter #16} De-Epic, She's an Epileptic

 Good morning!!!
This week was good.   We're starting to see more than one progressing friend in the area, which is so exciting. 

Contacted many people working on their cars in alleyways.

Our friend thought I was 16😑

Lamb of God didn't workout because our ride canceled,
So we got to a baptism with our friend!!

We had interviews with President, which was pretty cool.

I played baseball for the 1st time.

Got handed a lot of chocolate and lemons
I love my four man SO much
Also I'm coming around to being in cars because I LOVE the car heater!!

Had a friend bike an hour to Stake conference

English contacted in a very spanish format..(estaba un poco embarrassed)

Saw the beach from our friend's apartment

Hermana Wimmer is so cool she gave me protein and also made a rap about epilepsy {hence the title of this email}

Love Hermana Crawford shes the sweetest her spanish is insane and I'm learning so much from her 🏋‍♂️

Trying to be better at speaking spanish with district

Spiritual thought
2 nephi 35
It's a good one
35 Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss; therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness. Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen.

I invite you to pray today. Praying used to not be my favorite because I didn't feel like my prayers were being answered. On my mission I've learned to love prayer!! God has a plan for each of us and that plan is for us to have joy!! He listens. God also cares about our desires and hopes and when we take them to him he will help us! It might now look the way we expected but I promise each prayer will be answered in God's way and timing :)♡

I LOVE YOU
GOD LOVES YOU

{Letter #15} "Well actually, we aren't mechanics but can we share a scripture with you?"

Hola

This week we went to the temple!! And we also had general conference. It was so good if you haven't listened to it yet, I'd be happy to send some of my favorite talks :)

<I was going to try to write this with the voice to text microphone but then it autocorrected the first word I tried to a curse word, so I'm back to typing.>

How are you all??

Here's a Spark notes version of our week-

-thrifting at the bins

- Our friend has a friend at church 👥️

- GENERAL CONFERENCE ♧

-THE TEMPLE ♡♡

-seeing prayers answered 🙏

- contacted a group of guys by asking if we could help with their car... they said yes 🦾👩‍🔧

- had president Rodriguez in district council!!! ☆☆

-had an elder in a lesson and he made our friend cry (out of frustration) yo estaba un poco frustrado con este elder pero esta bien 🧘‍♀️

- had the best member meal with the llévanos!!🤸‍♀️

-got a ride and friends for LAMB OF GOD!🚗🚘


We had a friend in conference for two sessions. He has had a lot of questions. There was a talk in the second session of Sunday that so directly spoke to him
He looked over at me with wide eyes because he was in disbelief! This talk was addressing many questions and concerns he'd spoken about in our lessons! He looked at me like somehow I'd told the man on the screen what to say. The talk was about how god hears our prayers! I'm the worst and I don't remember what it was called or who it was by but I KNOW that God hears every prayer and he doesn't JUST know you perfectly but he loves you perfectly!! He is listening even when we can't always see or hear it!!

Email me I love hearing from y'all HAVE THE BEST WEEK.


I love you! God loves you! 🫶🫵
