HE IS COMING

WHATS UPPP!! How are you all?!

I don't have a ton of time to write today because of the silly little no-light situation which is so so fun so this email is a bit shorter!

☆BOTH of our baptismal dates(that have been on date for about 2 months) fell through

☆so many conversations about trump winning the election and people asking me about it bc I'm a gringooo but I cant respond, thankfully, because it's a rule in the mission to not talk politics. Genuinely so happy abt that because anyone that knows me, knows I hate politics lol

☆i ate blood in the form of a chorizo...not sure that I liked it all too much

☆got a reference of a person named "besos de caramelo" or "candy kisses"...pretty sure it was a joke

☆had exchanges and FULL visits with friends and one by one throughout the day, every one of them canceled...really testing my patience

☆SO genuinely happy with our efforts this week because we got higher than our goal for new people this week raising those goals even higher this week WOOO!

SPIRITUAL:
Alrightyyy this week I was studying in Doctrine and Covenants and found something so so so cool so I have to share! In each one of the following verses, it mentions a certain phrase that I'm obsessed with: 

D&C 35:27- "Fear not, little flock, the kingdom is yours until I come. Behold, I come quickly. Even so. Amen."

D&C 34:12- "And verily, verily, I say unto you, I come quickly. I am your Lord and your Redeemer. Even so. Amen."

D&C 39:24- "Behold, I come quickly. Even so. Amen."

D&C 41:4- "And I will be your ruler when I come; and behold, I come quickly, and ye shall see that my law is kept"

HE IS COMING. There are billions of angels on the other side helping to prepare the world for the earthshaking, uncomprehendable coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Those angels are on the other side for a reason and a purpose. I've been thinking a lot about this thought this week since I received heartbreaking news of two dear people I knew from back home who died unexpectedly. I keep thinking, why them? Why both members of this family? As hard as it is, He has a plan. Our Savior knows that those two people can help bring the second coming to pass. They can prepare people here in the earth and help with missionary work more on the other side than physically here on this earth. It's our purpose as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to share this gospel and prepare the world for the glorious Savior of the world. Time is short. Use it wisely, because he comes quickly.

Happy Monday everyone! And happy p-day to all my missionary friends . Hope you are all doing well and staying safe! If I can be praying for anyone plz plz plz reach out, I would absolutely love to pray for people so send names por favor! ☆I HAD MY FIRST BAPTISM!!! Hector us the coolest guy out there let me tell ya, we sent him a text the morning of his baptism to ask him how he's feeling bc he was a bit nervous and he responded by saying "I'm good I'm just waiting until the hour comes, but I'm firm in my decision to be baptized" WOOHOO he's just the best. The baptism was so freaking good and I got to lead the music and felt like a pro thanks shoutout to the one and only Hermana Mendez! Hector shared his feelings after and told us a story of his conversion and how he was in a really dark place just 3 weeks ago when one of our other converts found him in the street. He said he's learned from jehovahs witnesses but was never baptized, attended another ch...

Holaaa mis queridos!! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter remembering our Savior! This weeks recap: -exchanges with the hermanas in la Concordia with hna Tischner (aka one of my new best friends) and let me just say, two white girls in the dangerous parts of my area...not a good idea -reached almost all of our goals this past week and found SO many escogidos and only 1 person came to church for Easter, definitely not the result i was hoping to have -when we went to la Concordia to start exchanges and finally got to ride my first mototaxi -got to do the Easter studies every day this week and wowww it made it so incredibly special! -as for the title of this email, we just went to the part lf our area called "Cristo Vive" or "Christ lives" on the day that he resurrected so i thought that was kinda cool!! SPIRITUAL: Ok this week i honestly just want to share my testimony! I'm so grateful for this Easter to have been able to serve this Lord with all my might and stre...
