Unexpected Goodbye

Hola hola my wonderful friends!! Hope you all had an amazing Valentine's day and got to show some amor to your loved ones!

Not much happened this week but here's the run down:

☆President called us on Wednesday morning after we finished intercambios and basically said "Hermana Nelson pack your bags your goin to Chillogallo", basically one of the other hermanas there in my old area Atahualpa had some health problems so she had to go home, so President took my hija away from me and now she's in my old area lol...low key she was sooo sad and depressed pero así es la misión

☆had a hype noche de hogar yesterday with the coolest family and have another one with a different family tonight with some of our friends and I'm PUMPED!

☆fasted all day and traveled 2 hours (3rd time) to go to the doctor and get my blood drawn just for them to tell me that fasting the whole day makes it not valid and that the labs were closed, but finally got the doctors appointment Thursday so we're chillin

☆had an hour long interview with President-he's my bestie

☆GOT A SUPRISE CARD FROM MY BESTIE HERMANA BALDWIN IN PERU, made my week

SPIRITUAL:
Mosiah 4:27 says, "And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order."

I read this scripture this week in my study and it reallyyy called my attention! I think sometimes I run way faster than I have strength which has honestly worn me out and every day the only thing that gets me out of bed is knowing that I'm serving my Savior. This area has been suuuper auper tough this transfer and I've learned more than ever that being diligent in every thing makes it so that we can have success and every aspect of our lives. When we're diligent, we can win the "prize" of so many things; the presence of the holy ghost, love from our Savior, and a best friend.

Les amo mucho have an amazing week!

Xoxo

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...

Today I'm gonna write this by day of what happened because just so many eventful things that went down Monday: traveled to Quito, went to an appointment with the mission presidents wife, then waited in the offices to receive transfers, opened transfers in front of President and me and hermana friend SCREAMED and literally jumped out of our seats when we saw we're training AGAIN!!!
