Just Another Day In The Mission

So this week went by really fast, like not really sure what really happened, but just lots of teaching. No more bloody noses so that's good. This coming week is my last week in training and not really sure if im ready to leave. But it should be for the best. It will definently help me grow as a teacher and in my spanish. This week we find out if I'm staying in my area and who my new companion will be, because I will probably not stay with my trainer... sad day. But, still alive and living every moment. One thing that did happen this week, was we were with a recently converted member, and he asked if I would say the prayer in English. I was like, Heck ya!! But it was a little harder then I thought. I kept saying Spanish words and sometimes I would stop and have to think about how to say the word in English, or what a phrase in English is to say in a prayer. So, at the same time of me feeling like I haven´t been progressing in my Spanish, this was the Lord showing me that I'm doing better then I think. I mean, I still have a really long ways to go with the language, but it's the little steps that count. Always remember that the Lord loves you and the Jesus is our loving brother, because he has done so much for us that he really didn't have to do. I always share this with my investigators because I believe it so much. Yes, repentence is hard and sometimes scary, but we have to remember that it is not a bad thing. Because Jesus Christ suffered for us, that we could have this wonderful gift to become better, and without repentence we would not be able to live with God after this life. Our wonderful Brother gave us that chance to live with our Father again. Love you all so much and stay safe!

1 Month until General Conference

Yay we had a baptism this week por fin!!!!!!! It was so good, the family came with 8/14 of their kids so that was good!!! and the kids were so happy to get baptized! We also had two of the young men who are 16 years old baptize them. It was really cute to see them have their first baptism. Other than that, like always, not much happened. We had a tranquila semana and for two days I was with a different hermana. We had a great time together and we made brownies which was my first time in the mission. They were so good!!!! Remember that we are one month away from general conference and so we have a little time to prepare!!!! But how awesome it is to learn more about Joseph Smith and his story and how important it is to know that through Joseph Smith, we have the church of Jesus Christ again on the earth and the chance to have the gospel in our lives and feel this happiness that it brings into our lives! Love you all and hope that you all have a great week and make good decision...

Happy New Year ya'll!!!!!! This week was really good! Well, in some ways. First of all, New Years Day was just a chill day, we didn't do anything, just hung out with other missionaries and played games and watched movies. It was really fun! Other than that, there was only one other thing that really happened on Saturday, which was really kinda funny. So what happened is that this day was kinda hard for us because we didn't really feel very good, but we had so many people that yelled at us when we were in the street. Lots of members from other places, but the funniest one was when this drunk guy yelled at us and said "hermanas, when are you going to come and visit me?" and he crossed the street to come and talk to us, which we did, and he said that it was really hard to read our names and that they were in English so he didn't understand our names, but then he said that he wanted a book so we gave him a folleto and then he told us to give him one of our chu...

Hey everyone, this week was kinda crazy! It was my last week in my first area, Italia Centro.. RIP... but now I´m in a new area called San Martin (Misiones, Posadas) it is so cool and way different than my first area. This place has red dirt, hills, and trees. So it's way different than what I ́m used to, but I know that it will be really good for me, and that God has prepared this place and the people for me and my companion. Before I actually came to this area, in my older area, I ran into a tree... I thought you might like to know that. The only tree in Formosa, and I happened to run into it. But I ́m fine, I just have a little mark not too noticeable, but I'll send a picture. My new companion ́s name is Hermana Rowlings and she is from Nebraska. She only has for months left in the mission, so this will probably end up being her last area, so I have no idea how long I will be here. My companion and I are both new to the area so we are going to have a fun time figuring ev...
