Don't Recommend Being Sick On The Mission

BUENOS TARDES MIS QUERIDOS!!!

This week felt like the blink of an eye for, like I can't even think of the things that happened other conference bc conference was SO FLIPPING GOOD...but we'll get to that later

☆we had exchanges again this week and I went back to Paraíso just like every other exchange lol I basically know all the people there and I know the area like the back of my hand but when I came back to my area I felt nauseas and my comp felt the same and then it just went downhill from there lol. We had lunch and lets just say ive mever had such a hard time eating food in all my life, then we stayed in the Church building for 6 hours calling and waiting for our 2 friends to come for their lessons then they canceled anyways our stomachs were dying then we woke up the next morning and couldn't even get out of bed so we had to call the mission nurse for advice. All she told us was to eat rice, bananas, and toast...don't know why but it actually worked a little bit haha. We ended up having 2 citas that night and I legit almost threw up in one of the lessons but I survived we think we got sick from eating a hamburger...word of advice maybe don't trust all the restaurants in the street and try your very best to not get sick on the mish haha I felt helpless but WE'RE GOOD!!!

☆OUR MISSION FINALLY HAS BOOKS OF MORMON WOOOHOOOOO!!!! Since we opened a mission we literally didn't have resources, here in this area we almost ran out of pamphlets and now we're stocked up on those and we have 10 precious and sacred books of mormon that I literally cannot wait to give to those chosen people

☆I like ALL of the food here surprisingly but there is one thing I can't stomach ever again...papaya never. again.

☆Queencreek AZ is getting a TEMPLE you guys have no idea how excited I was when I heard this from President Nelson Gilbert temple will always have my whole heart but I guess I can share a little bit of it with Queencreek along with Idaho obviously

☆was a bit homesick this week especially around conference remembering all the memories from watching conference with my family but I couldn't be more happy here sharing those messages with the people here shoutout to my parents and lil sister in Brasil I hope they made something like cinnamon rolls like we make every year as a fam

☆conference at home all growing up always felt so long idk why but on the mission it went wayyyyy way way too fast...low key depressed that its already over

YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT ISSS!

Those outstanding conference quotes:

-as we remain bounded to our Savior, our light will reflect His light

-joyful reverance comes from our soul rejoicing in the love of our Savior

-"what works for thee works for me"

-following his will is beautiful, powerful, and transformational

-you are not beneath the masters reach

-the Book of Mormon doesn't look to the past, it looks to the future 

-as we study over this book we will have eyes to see, ears to hear, and minds to comprehend its power

-this church is the vehicle God has provided for our salvation

-trust in his teachings, trust in his words, trust in his love

-what if we spent less time talking and more time BEING with Him

-we need to have the name of christ on our lips and the Spirit in our hearts

-it is one thing to be loved and another thing to be trusted

-you've got this because Jesus Christ has got YOU

-don't let the world change you when you were meant to change the world

-faith is not faith if never tested, and faith is not strong if never opposed

-may we all, as disciples, hold up his light

-now is the time to make our discipleship our highest priority

I will undoubtedly be reading and studying all these quotes during my studies until the next conference

If you weren't able to watch one of sessions please please please use to resources in the gospel library to watch all of it and I know you'll be grateful you did!!! 

Love you all so much!
