{Letter #39} " I would only go to church to find a wife."

What a good week. Send me your updates
This week In a nutshell 

-We had zone conference 

I got to go on exchanges with Hermana Barton again and we had some wonderful lessons in her area

Neither of us can drive because she is from Australia and I have seizures(in case ya didn't know) so we did in fact walk all day which was so fun. 

Eliecer is on track to be baptized !!! We had a couple great lessons with him He came to church in a WHITE BUTTON UP SHIRT 😇

Had the craziest member meal of my life details for another time ( don't fret slightly more tears of laughter than tears of sorrow were shed )

Got bashed in like 3 lessons in one day 

Hermana Searle got sent veggie juice

We filmed a Facebook ad for the church look out for me on the church's website. 

Sorry for the crazy email but I LOVE Y'ALL 😁
A talk called "Through God's Eyes"  by Elder Renlund.
I now realize that in the Church, to effectively serve others we must see them through a parent’s eyes, through Heavenly Father’s eyes. Only then can we begin to comprehend the true worth of a soul. Only then can we sense the love that Heavenly Father has for all of His children. Only then can we sense the Savior’s caring concern for them. We cannot completely fulfill our covenant obligation to mourn with those who mourn and comfort those who stand in need of comfort unless we see them through God’s eyes. This expanded perspective will open our hearts to the disappointments, fears, and heartaches of eithers.


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

I love you! God loves you! 🫶🫵

"Worldly identifiers will never give you a vision of who you can ultimately become. They will never affirm your divine DNA or your unlimited, divine potential."

Who does God say that you are?

{Letter #14} "Ohhhh, You're the Mexicana..."

Living in a four man is the best
Email me if you want to know what Disney princess you'd be or who you'd be in a high-school movie 🙂‍↕️

Went thrifting at the bins
I had exchanges with the Hermana Lasa and it was so fun, but also I've never been more scared when the mission car alarm yelled at her like 30 times to "check your speed!"

Sat in the library got recognized as the missionaries and then this guy pointed at my slightly less blonde better at spanish comp and said "oh you must be the Mexican one!" Then he blew us kisses and for some reason I instinctively DID IT BACK then I realized what had just happened and we almost peed our pants in the library because what was that.

Got asked to climb in someones window and unlock their door but couldn't because it would involve climbing a ladder :(

On Saturday a member gave me cake for my birthday and I almost cried it was so sweet

Our friends are doing good! We have basically 2 but they're so cool! We find a lot which is so entertaining sometimes

Spiritual thought
I Need Thee Every Hour

I LOVE THIS SONG

I love the reminder that we can turn to him in every moment. Whether it be the worst day of your life or something small and likely unimportant to others it matters to God and Christ understands!!!! We can seek their help
