Inspiration From On High

How are you all!?! Hope you all enjoyed every second of conference as much as i did!

WOW what a fast and incredible week! Here's what happened!

Quote of the week:

"dude everyones been giving up jugo de naranja and its been the best fetchin week of my life"-bestie Elder Ford in the bus today on the way to Quito

-Learned something new this week! When theres an old pair of sneakers hanging from the telephone lines it means that someone nearby sells drugs...there's old sneakers hanging on nearly every corner in our area...but don’t worry guys I LOVE THIS AREA and nothing bad has happened to me yet

-have you guys seen the studio C, 7 guys on a scooter video?? Ya saw that yesterday but in real lifelegitimately saw 7 people packed on a little motorcycle...oh how i love Santo Domingo

-ROSITAS BAPTISM! Shes just amazing and testified that just a little act of service when she met the missionaries (2 days before i got here to Santo Domingo) is what changed her life and said how happy she is to be a member of the church of Jesus Christ, also she attended conference yesterday and loved it...shes a queen

-transfers this week and getting a new comp, ciao hermana Salinas (aka my new bestie)

-Benito gets baptized on Saturday!!! 

CONFERENCE!

Ok weren't you all just in love with all the messages shared?? I cant believe it happened so so fast, but I'm PUMPED to be able to review these talks over the next 6 months. Went in to conference with a question and came out with several answers, dont you just love how revelation of the prophets works? Its incredible to me and im so grateful for our amazing prophet and his apostles and i sustain them with all my heart!

The quotes that healed my heart and stood out to me the most!!

-Heaven isn't for people that are perfect, its for people who have been forgiven- Sister Runia

-where is YOUR worth?- Sister Runia

-may we each find restoration in His resurrection- Elder Gong

-reverance is the essence of spirituality

-as the world grows increasingly more wicked, we need to be increasingly more pure-

-the second coming of the Lord is at hand- President Nelson

-in having our lamps full of oil, our conversion, we can be prepared for the symbolic wedding dinner, his second coming

-we are hastening our holiness as we attend the temple- Elder Rasband

-people look on the outside, while He looks at the heart- Elder Uchtdorf

I KNOW that everything said in general conference is true and pure revelation from on high. I love this gospel with everything in my heart and I hope you can all keep reviewing the inspiration you received in these sessions and keep sharing the light of Christ with everyone because HE COMES SO SOON!!! WOOOOO!

Love you all so so much

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...

HELLOOO my wonderful friends and family! The life of Hermana Jones in Santo Domingo just got a whoooole lot more interesting so we're getting right to it! 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...
