Hola!! Guys this week was awesome!!!! I haven't enjoyed a week like this in a while! We taught some awesome lessons and found really cool people. My comp!! She's Domnican and she's awesome! She's such a natural at the mission thing. We've had a lot of fun this week and I'm thankful to have her here! She's super determined which is awesome, we're both ready to work hard this transfer.  Yesterday we taught some of our new friends Jeni and her 2 daughters, ages 7 & 9. THEY'RE SO CUTE. It was a realllly awesome lesson and the daughters were engaged too! They were asking super cute and sweet questions and I'm SO excited to go back. Yesterday also was just a really great day I'm super thankful!! We taught a lot of friends and they're making progress!! I'm just super happy this week!! Super thankful!! I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I am SO excited for this transfer. We have some high goals and I know we can rea...

Hey!! What's up guys? We got transfer news on Saturday and I learned to never trust transfer news until it actually happens, even if it comes from Presidente himself because they are in fact not splitting the area, after we had been prepping for such the whole week. Also I'm training, I'm nervous haha, but excited! We had some fire lessons this week and the Spirit was so strong and then! Our friends dropped us. Yeah. I'm so sad. Sigh. But on the bright side we had a lot of friends come to church with us yesterday!! In Sunday School we were going over Come, Follow Me in Amos and Obadiah, and the teacher was so awesome and really focused the lesson on our friends. The lesson was about prophets and it was basically a Q&A where our friends could ask any questions they had and the members in the class were all so awesome in answering and helping our friends understand!! Some of our friends speak Creole so we even had a member translate for them, and they all left feeling...

Buen día mis queridos Hi! How's everyone doing?  Nothing too crazy for this week butttt This week we're about to go ham. Transfers are next week and they're splitting the area, and I'm most likely gonna stay, so we're getting everything prepped so that the new hermanas can blend right in! Our goal is to visit every member this week and get everything in order. It's gonna be a very poderoso week. Please pray for some miracles to happen because we need them!!!! Yesterday while on our way back home we walked past our friend's house and he was sitting on his patio reading the Book of Mormon!!!! On his own!!! That might be so small but ahhh it was just so special to see!! We walked up and in my broken Creole I asked him what he's been learning and he said he's been learning a lot a lot about Christ! Yay! He's so awesome and man I am just so happy that that's how he was spending his free time. Time is flying by fast!! I have so much gratitude for t...

Hola! I have no time, this is short!! We taught a couple of people in English this week and that was the weirdest thing ever hm I think I'll just teach in Spanish forever  This week we had zone conference! Yay! It was really good I learned so much and man I'm just so thankful to be here and to be part of this great work. God is so good. I really wouldn't rather be doing anything else!!! Christ is pure joy. We watched one of my most favorite videos about missionary work and the Atonement from President Eyring and Elder Holland. I love that video. It always brings tears to my eyes and refocuses my purpose here. There's hard times and hard situations, but they're nothing in comparison to the joy that comes from the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I just feel so blessed to be here among these people and share the best source of lasting happiness!! Christ lives!! Spiritual Thought It's been such a busy day, but Alma 9:19-24 are really great and interesting!!! Remember the...
