Christ En Cada Lado

Holaaa mis queridos amigos! This week was so so fast, they just keep getting faster in the mission! This week:

☆the big convo going around this week was the big 6.3 earthquake, first time experiencing one! Literally just brushing my teeth lookin out the window then next thing i know everythings shaking, soo wierd. It actually was a ton stronger in the coast tho, pic below!

☆intercambios with one of my past comps hna Xivir!

☆had an adventure in a pueblo in my area called el esfuerzo! Waited 45 minutes for the bus to come, we had an hour and a half lesson, then had to wait another hour for the bus to come again to bring us back to SD

☆saw an iguana in the wild

☆ate crab for the first time with our favorite member and WOW i think crab is one of my new favorite foods

☆two of my bestie little girls yesterday in church, Valentina and Gladys, begged me to stay and Santo Domingo and live with them the rest of my life haha, i told them i can't do that but maybe i can stay here in this area for the rest of my mission, whoops! President guess you're just gonna have to keep me here, now i can't go back to Quito

☆getting our nails done today with the other hermanas in our district, the first time I've felt actually a little fancy in my mission

☆best friend gets MARRIED this week in Az and i just can't handle it AHHHH so sad i won't be there but so so excited for her

SPIRITUAL:

2 weeks ago i was able to start the Book of Mormon over in spanish to join in on the reading challenge in my parents mission and I'm SO pumped to read it! As i was getting close to finishing 1 Nephi, I've been highlighting all of the words the refer to Christ and its been amazing to see how many times it talks of Him. Literally every page has His name and it just goes to show that He really is in this work. He loves us, supports us, and knows us perfectly, but sometimes we just have to look for it. This morning i was reviewing the chapter where Nephi breaks his bow and after building a new bow says, "Whither shall I go to obtain food?" And i love this comparison that he had done everything he needed to do and was able to ask the Lord directly where he needed to go. Its just so interesting to think that when we have this offering unto the Lord, he'll be in everything we do just like he is in every page of the Book of Mormon! I challenge you to start highlighting everything that talks about Christ in your studies this week! Chau!

Love you all so so much

Xoxo Hermana Jones

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!!! (We even have video proof) Tuesday: leadership council and helping the other hermanas get ready for transfers and traveling Wednesday: started off the day with a great start, we go to the terminal in Carcelen and get the other hermanas in the bus and while they're sitting in the bus waiting a guy comes in a robs them, her phone and her money and her card, and they hadn't even left to go to the concordia yet...sometimes i hate ecuador wit...
