The Family Of 8 And A Fecha Bautismal

This week went by pretty quick and I honestly don't remember much that happened but here we go!

☆we had surprise zone conference and had to travel 2 hours away to the North part of the mission...that was fun. We woke up at 4:30 meaning to wake up at 3:00 to do our hair before the electricity went out at 4:00, rip we missed the alarm so basically my hair was a rats nest for zone conference, and I did my makeup in absolute pitch dark with a crappy flashlight bc I didn't have my phone that morning(another story for another day) so basically I just was not looking my best for a multi zone conference but who cares? Not me

☆zone conference was SO good tho! Learned a lot and literally got called on every five seconds to say something my brain was fried because of exhausted but we're thriving

☆we found and taught a family of 8 PEOPLE!!! You guys...I'm still in shock. We taught the Plan of Salvation and when I was explaining the Atonement, the dad had tears in his eyes it was such a spiritual moment and he could feel it! They have 6 kids and every single one of them was absolutely intrugued by everything we were saying! We have another lesson with them this week so I'll keep you guys updated

☆our friend Mabel that's 18 years old is getting baptized THIS SATURDAY WOOOOHOOOO!!!! She's so excited it's the cutest thing! I also contacted her boyfriend yesterday and gave him a book of mormon and told him that they can study together and he has interest! Hopefully something comes out of it

Spiritual!
My cute friend from home Sister Hale shared something in her email that stuck out to me so I thought i'd share it! It's a quote that says "when we are accomplishing the most good, that's when the greatest opposition comes". I LOVE this and it's so true! Here in my area we are seeing miracle after miracle but there is opposition every. single. day. And it's everything in me to use every last bit of patience I have haha but it's incredible to see the hand of God in his work! In Alma 17:11 it says "And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among the Lamanites, thy brethren, and establish my word; yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls." All I know is that we must have patience in our afflictions oppositions and we will be able to see the hand of the Lord!

ATTENTION ALL MISSIONARY FRIENDS
LISTEN TO THIS MTC TALK BY ELDER HOLLAND ITS AMAZING AND YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!

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...
