Hola! This week was so busy!!! We were gonna have 3 exchanges back to back to back this week and it all started as planned on Tuesday but then I got such a high fever Wednesday morning which put a huge bump in our plans. But then by Thursday morning I was feeling better and continued the exchanges!! All the hermanas we had exchanges with this week are so awesome! I feel so so blessed to know all of them and be able to learn from them!  We saw a lot of miracles this week! We had some friends come to church with us yesterday! It was awesome! We're trying to work really hard to help them prepare to get baptized soon! This is the last week of the transfer which means Perry goes home this week and I'm so sad, I'm gonna miss her so much!!!! I'm so thankful to have had her as a companion, she has taught me so much. But also my next transfer is gonna go ham so I'm excited.  Another thing I've learned on my mission is that Christ magnifies my efforts!!! 10. Spiritual wor...

Hey!  This week was kinda wild but so good! The week started out with a trip to the office with the other hermanas we live with which ended in the decision that one of those hermanas had to return home early due to health reasons :(. We were so sad but are so happy for our friend and that she is now getting the help she needs!! Because of such, Tuesday morning we were put into a trio with Hermana Romans for the day until Wednesday, when we'd pick up her new companion. #dreamtrio. My first and probably only time being I'm a trio but Hermana Perry, Hermana Romans, and I are already bffs so it was a lot of fun! Wouldn't want to be in a trio with anyone else! On Wednesday we had another hermanas activity, but this time with Hermana Chaverri!! I LOVE HER. She went all put and it was SO GOOD. Presidente and Hermana Chaverri have a focus of high love means high expectations, and this hermanas activity was based on high love. The love they radiate is incredible. They inspire me so ...

Hi!!!! The quote is from our friend Wed in a phone call we had with him in English and a Haitian member who also speaks English and it was the funniest call ever. At the end of the call Alix (member) asked Wed "so do you have problems with immigration?" *pause* Wed: "Are you talking to me?????" Then told us "don't worry bro I have my passport and my visa." That doesn't really do it justice haha but it was sooooo funny we were dying. Unfortunately not a lot of our friends are coming to church lately, so lame, but we prayed for a miracle and saw one yesterday!! There was this old guy named Maximino that Hermana Perry and another Hermana found on exchanges and invited him to church! Then Perry lost her agenda and his info was lost, so we still tried to go back on Thursday but no luck. Then there we were at church when a member was like hey is this guy one of your friends? And low and behold it was Maximino!! He came and loved it and wants to come back...

Hey! We got to meet Presidente and Hermana Chaverri this week and I LOVE THEM. They are SO awesome, so loving, and so dedicated to the work. They have such a drive and I am so sad I don't get more time with them! Ah I just love them and know I'm here at this time to learn from them as well!!! This week was good, super busy, so after MLC and zone conference our time kinda got sucked up but it's okay the meetings were totally worth it, I'll say it again, I love the Chaverris. I saw someone do a thing where they do 10 things they've learned from their mission for the last 10 weeks and I thought it was cool so I'm gonna copy them. I actually don't have a lot of time to write this and I've learned so much from my mission so it's hard to dial it down to just 10, but here's what I'll include for this week: 10. Spiritual work  works. To explain this point, here's the quote I got this from: "Our ability to hear spiritually is linked to our  w...

Hi! I just thought of the pun in the title this week and I think it's hilarious haha. I didn't know how else to wrap it in ha. We had a despedida (send off thing) for Presidente and Hermana Acosta on Wednesday and it was so bittersweet. I love them so so much. President spoke with so much power and I just admire him so so much. I know I was for sure called here for them too!! I aspire to be like him! Our new mission president got here on Friday! His name is President Chaverri from Costa Rica and we get to meet him tomorrow at MLC and the rest of the week at zone conferences. I'm so excited!!  We had some friends come to church and loved it! Our little friend that's 8 was asking me when she could get baptized and it was so tender. We're working with her and her mom so they can make that covenant together! They told us last week that we're gonna take over another zone of Hermanas as STLs and I am so excited to work with them! There's a lot more work to be done...
