The Streak Continues

HEYYY friends and fam! Hope you're all doing amazing. lots of things happening here in El Bosque, here's the recap!

☆didn't get to finish training my hija...she went to Quito, so trio for a day with hna Alvarez and hna Tischner!! 

☆starting to miss not sweating every second...I want cold weather again

☆benito finished the Book of Mormon and WENT TO THE TEMPLE TO DO BAPTISMS!!!

☆ate lunch on Wednesday with bishop and ALL of us including us missionaries (the 1 day trio with hna Alvarez and Tischner) bishop, his wife, and their workers that ate the food got sick...the cook wouldn't admit that it was the food and low key her fault...

☆made corviche from the start, peeled 100 verde and shredded it to the corviche dough and helped fry them (sorry if u dont know what corviche is, all my friends who have verde in the mish know what im talkin bout) but MAN its a lot of work haha

☆saw a dead man on the street 5 minutes from our house last night...

☆contacted a total of 6-7 hours this week and hardly found anyone...feelin really successful right now

☆MLC tomorrow here in Santo Domingo!! Happy i dont have to travel Quito but emo that i can't go to the temple, going on 4 months without going to the temple, for sure having withdrawals

☆my comp hna Alvarez is getting emergency transferred tomorrow when we have MLC sooo I'm getting a different comp and training her to be an hna leader! 

☆as for the title: the streak continues of having a different compañion every transfer of my mission

SPIRITUAL:

 Okkk these verses in Mosiah 4:18-20 are absolutely insane so i thought I'd share! 

"For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have, for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver, and for all the riches which we have of every kind?"

"And behold, even at this time, ye have been calling on his name, and begging for a remission of your sins. And has he suffered that ye have begged in vain? Nay; he has poured out his Spirit upon you, and has caused that your hearts should be filled with joy, and has caused that your mouths should be stopped that ye could not find utterance, so exceedingly great was your joy."

I've come to realize that we really do all beg for the things that we need in this mortal life and especially for forgiveness. But we don't have to "beg" for forgiveness, he gives it freely. He gives us the gift of the spirit to guide throughout our lives. HE GIVES. But we must work for it. I love my Savior Jesus Christ with all my heart and i know he has a plan for each and every one of us because we truly are His beloved sons and daughters. When we realize it, we will be shook with realization of how much He really does love us. Pray to know how you can do things according to His will, instead of what we want or prefer!

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...
