Crazy thing, she was only like two miles from our house and had barely left. A big truck pulled out into her lane. Luckily, she swerved and that there were no cars in the other lane. She was only side swiped. It could have been much worse and we count our blessings no one was hurt. It was a hit and run and so sadly she has to pay the deductible, even though it was not her fault. Still, we count our blessings even when trials do come.</span></p><p style="background: white; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLzRzBQmRlxjRCEKWx5M7yivz6q5VJBhfQ8mXGMsTsCzFwKwwMFnbLAPH6eHT03Jd5XG4BqklIrQBroCq3Rblav-dVKqCVzhewZYQ-XQb-uUj7_jrLBfzEmuGrWFeyeRfocq1gdcUPSln3JpZORY62TLzSu5gqo2gHz3c4zquGxfQMGWbFVog7OypuCQ/s1280/thumbnail_IMG_3093.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLzRzBQmRlxjRCEKWx5M7yivz6q5VJBhfQ8mXGMsTsCzFwKwwMFnbLAPH6eHT03Jd5XG4BqklIrQBroCq3Rblav-dVKqCVzhewZYQ-XQb-uUj7_jrLBfzEmuGrWFeyeRfocq1gdcUPSln3JpZORY62TLzSu5gqo2gHz3c4zquGxfQMGWbFVog7OypuCQ/w640-h480/thumbnail_IMG_3093.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p style="background: white; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="background: white; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ARs3i5hBXCU9E5AIqiLMODSGfL-wRV-IbaqTUG37UuznjfvQ_rOzAZt4jzS7Hfh68-GLPuDO6LN84Q06opkKuxp2LOWbE91vAULSA5GY2-XXVdlVMjK1Rh3RynjUA3d3isNhyzHj2HUUjk-PEi0jXZ0FCJ2iV3hSczfLQ0bheJsZFpzCTpVRX2SxGA/s1280/thumbnail_IMG_3095.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ARs3i5hBXCU9E5AIqiLMODSGfL-wRV-IbaqTUG37UuznjfvQ_rOzAZt4jzS7Hfh68-GLPuDO6LN84Q06opkKuxp2LOWbE91vAULSA5GY2-XXVdlVMjK1Rh3RynjUA3d3isNhyzHj2HUUjk-PEi0jXZ0FCJ2iV3hSczfLQ0bheJsZFpzCTpVRX2SxGA/w640-h480/thumbnail_IMG_3095.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p style="background: white; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="background: white; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d;">I was so thankful for some help putting up the Christma</span><span style="color: #38761d;">s lights in our yard this year.

He still loves to pat my head and tell me how little I am. And now, he gives me a big bear hug and smothers me with his embrace. It's funny I can't pay Adam to hug me and I have to beg Ethan to let go of me. Ethan is 14. I keep forgetting he is growing up. He gets a little annoyed that I still remind him not to drink so much at bedtime so he won't wet the bed. He quickly reminds me he hasn't done that since he was like five years old. I guess he'll always be little to me even though he's definitely not little anymore. Adam and Ethan hate to do chores; however, they fight over who gets to mow the backyard. We have a really old riding lawnmower, and they both love to mow because they speed around the backyard like it's a four-wheeler. We have had to remind Ethan many times that we don't need to mow the lawn every day. This fall Mike, Ethan, and I did one last short camping trip; Adam didn’t want to come. It was so peaceful and quiet with only one teenager, who had no one to bug. The only problem was that without having Adam around, Ethan wanted to hang out with me all the time. I finally gave in and was brave and did a few things that I don't normally do. He somehow got me on a rope swing. Mike nicely reminded Ethan he didn’t have to yell with excitement every time he went on it. (Needless to say, I never got to read the book I had brought.) Ethan is really pushing for me to get a job- I'm sure it's just so that I'm not home when he gets home from school and he can sit around watching TV and playing video games. It's so funny when your kids ask when you're going to be home from somewhere… do they think that I do not have a brain? Of course, they want to know so that they can quickly wrap up whatever they were doing and be done by the time I get home. I wasn’t born yesterday!! What do you get when a 14-year-old boy carries a gallon of milk with a ton of other things in his hands?? A gallon of milk on the kitchen floor. Fun times!!</span> <span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Ethan has many goals for his life that keep changing frequently! He's gone from being cardiologist, to an accountant, to an FBI agent. (I am just glad he has given up on being a You-Tuber.) So, if you happen to talk to him, please lead him back to the cardiologist idea. He promised me a lot of money when he is really rich, so I'm hoping he chooses that career path again, ha ha!! Ethan is still on a quest to get one armpit hair. He does have a hair that is like two inches long and for some reason is growing on the top of one of</span></span><span style="color: #424242; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> his arms, but we tell him that doesn’t count. Boy, do I want to pluck it out!!! <br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Adam turned 16 in April. To celebrate, we went to an all you can eat Mongolian Grill/Chinese restaurant. Adam thought he'd be brave and tried a bunch of different seafood items. He has a pretty intense gag reflex. I'm so grateful he didn't barf in the restaurant, but he came close. He got his driver’s license in May. We now have only one more kid to go!!! Ethan is already counting down the days till he can get his permit. We asked him to not mention it to us anytime soon, as we're not yet recovered from driving with Adam and we still have PTSD from teaching Jaime. For those who haven't had children yet, make sure to space them far enough apart so you can recover from one child to the next with their driving practice. Maybe we will hold off until Ethan is about 18 to let him drive. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Adam continues to eat us out of house and home. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">The other day, he ate five corn dogs and then headed to the cupboard for more food. He tends to lose weight the more he eats. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I, on the other hand, have a bad reaction anytime I eat food.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">When I eat things, especially foods like cake and pasta and French fries, I swell up around my midsection. I'm hoping I can get this figured out quickly so that I don't keep having this problem.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Adam is so lucky that he doesn’t suffer from this problem. He went to a church activity recently and consumed eight pieces of pizza and five cans of pop.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">One day Mike checked his lunch balance and was surprised that it was being depleted so quickly. Apparently, Adam had been eating two lunches at school. He thought the second lunch was free- it was actually twice as much as the first lunch-- yikes!! </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">We got a good laugh but were glad we figured it out before we needed to take out a loan.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Who knows, maybe all of Adam’s eating is causing the following problem--</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">He has started to grow a little, tiny, baby mustache and beard.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">From the side, and in the right lighting, you can see like five tiny hairs on his chin wisping in the wind. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I want to pluck them out so badly! Adam’s idea of doing his hair is spraying it with tons of hairspray and then rubbing it on a towel. It looks like he's been electrocuted!! Guess it could be worse. Ah, the joys of having teenage boys. I can actually smell them before they enter a room.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">And laundry!!! I wash something and it still comes out smelling disgusting!!! </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">On a funny note, phones have some interesting apps. Jaime was playing around with one and come to find out both Adam and Ethan make very pretty girls. I, on the other hand, look like a chubby boy.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Mike looks funny as a girl, and it totally freaked me out seeing Jaime as a boy. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">And what’s up with the styles these days… Adam's favorite pair of shoes are white, or are supposed to be white. They remind me of the girly Keds that I had when I was in the seventh grade. I told him white is not the best choice and hard to keep clean, but he didn't want to listen.

She was not happy to be home and had high hopes for getting called on a second mission. We also had wondered if she would be the first missionary to go MIA intentionally so she didn’t have to come home. For me, it was been so wonderful to have a girl in the house again for many reasons-one very important one being she doesn’t stink. She and I have had so much fun going and doing “girlie” things together. (Ethan is so glad he is off the hook and doesn’t have to do these things with me now, jk.) One of our favorite things to do is go to all the little Hispanic restaurants in Ogden for lunch; Most do not speak English and are shocked when Jaime starts to speak Spanish to them. An especially fun thing is that whenever we're out together, most people think we're sisters. Good for me not so good for Jaime. Ha ha. This summer all my kids worked on produce farms again. This came in handy because my garden did horrible this year. All summer, Adam and Jaime brought me reject fruits and vegetables from work. Jaime also worked as a nanny this year. One afternoon this summer, Ethan and I, along with Jaime and the three boys she watched, went swimming. I must've been in a really good mood because I played tag with the kids and went on the waterslide. I'm sure it was a strange sight to watch Ethan holding me in his arms, dunking me back-and-forth. In September, Jaime headed off to Rexburg again for school. On the way, we made a quick stop in Logan to have lunch. Right after we left, I got a phone call from my sister that we had left our food on the trunk. We quickly pulled over to the side of the road. Jaime said she saw people in the car behind us laughing hysterically. Jaime still loves cats, fluffy sweaters, and reading books. Needless to say, she is still single. Just kidding. Actually, she is beautiful inside and out. She reminds us that it is her goal to stay single, as boys are gross-- I quickly join in and agree with her.</span></span><span style="color: #424242; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> <br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="color: #ffa400;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">This year marked the ten-year anniversary of Ryan passing away.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">It’s crazy it has been so long.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">We miss him so much.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">He would be a man now, and yet will forever be 14 in my eyes.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">In memory of Ryan, we decided to take a family trip to Disneyland.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I had orange shirts made for us all to wear on May 12th.

When they got home, we had multiple leaders ask if they were from the same family, as they are totally different. Ethan won't quit talking and Adam won't talk. I wonder which parent they each take after- ha ha. On another funny note, all my boys went to trek this year. Who would've figured Alex would go with them. His boss is in our ward and needed Alex's help and paid for his time off so he could go. I have a cute (ok, manly and tuff) picture of the three of them in their pioneer clothes. Ethan said he told many people that Alex was his brother and no one believed him, ha ha. Both Alex and Adam were very sweet and apparently danced with a few 11-year-old girls, which I am sure made their hearts flutter- the girl’s, not Alex and Adam’s- that would be creepy!! They all had a fun time, despite the wet weather and the fact that I made Adam go. Adam was so happy it rained and was able to change into shorts because his pants got soaked. I guess he conveniently forgot about the spare pants (which he hated by the way) that I had sent with him.</span></span><span style="color: #424242; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> <br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Alex continues working as a plumber and is going to plumbing school.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">This fall he had an accident while playing flag football. Yes, flag football!!! Who would've even known adults actually have a flag football league, but they do. He collided with another player.

They actually will jump up on your leg when you sit down and will even jump up on your shoulder when you are standing. Ethan learned the hard way that he needs to put sunglasses on when they do this, because he got his eye pecked. I was smart and wore sunglasses right away.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">We named most of our chickens, but to our surprise, many of them ended up being roosters that now have girl names.

Ethan was so happy to be quarantined to his room with a TV and video games. Adam was sad he didn't get it so he could stay home from school and play video games in his room.

We had a very nice time. It was so special to meet so many of the people she loves so dearly- and they love her as well. We had many tender moments with them. It was pretty awesome to sit and listen to her converse in Spanish. She doesn't think she is any good, but she definitely is. We were on the go constantly driving across the state seeing places she lived and those she knew. We had a very nice time, even though we were going on limited sleep each night. It was a great trip that I will treasure always. Missions really do matter and change lives. Jaime will forever have part of her heart in South Carolina, and I am so thankful for the tiny glimpse I was given to meet the wonderful members and nonmembers she grew to love.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYiAoNR8FaOBuIEZ39bHXCZD_6nch2bQ8ANQHx-kT4yiEr_8GgTpB-edW5v-4gPwc0FX0nw1YuNYCI4MCbpFMW7jbUDEwslOLlyuA1JpXpnuDmrQbwsy5nyh7FzH6uxAS2FeM3LA9M7C2c5MMg4j9qIZdnxBtnLPpavMAyC8V2RvMKzSxIun489CK3Q/s1280/thumbnail_IMG_4462.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYiAoNR8FaOBuIEZ39bHXCZD_6nch2bQ8ANQHx-kT4yiEr_8GgTpB-edW5v-4gPwc0FX0nw1YuNYCI4MCbpFMW7jbUDEwslOLlyuA1JpXpnuDmrQbwsy5nyh7FzH6uxAS2FeM3LA9M7C2c5MMg4j9qIZdnxBtnLPpavMAyC8V2RvMKzSxIun489CK3Q/w480-h640/thumbnail_IMG_4462.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">one of her apartments</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhudBL6PmiqRhpD-T39aVYdgw25UjFqoqeUie1MRU4MHBe8r8GgcEjCR4uE4S-6YMLclHXtHGcnigiHfEU8l-fdazZhX4bmMPOQxGx8Y5kHxcGcNxj9Xdd-VMhyJwICvaWfGqPwXeGzJckpVKNcePzExdFNnCeuUhxefrSKFWTFFhj7ioH8TdPQdfb_A/s1280/thumbnail_IMG_4494.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhudBL6PmiqRhpD-T39aVYdgw25UjFqoqeUie1MRU4MHBe8r8GgcEjCR4uE4S-6YMLclHXtHGcnigiHfEU8l-fdazZhX4bmMPOQxGx8Y5kHxcGcNxj9Xdd-VMhyJwICvaWfGqPwXeGzJckpVKNcePzExdFNnCeuUhxefrSKFWTFFhj7ioH8TdPQdfb_A/w640-h480/thumbnail_IMG_4494.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This is a pretty park right in the center of the city of Greenville.

It was delicious!!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-HN6_Ad2hhz7msssZkf3VwpsHF8TNmVH-UQNWms8MC1wl6EjbGJ7vdJYDX9tsWtNGMXjasZkRQcwoZXybJvuKW64vU2zqGihN93Z0pwHmg_eUlSUpSGR3JW_E-xBdONzEAFsGMP3rBMpRkgZGCNK1WsEZVHs2JDyyc5d5uCrwo2IVzVPmTi3lo3qw8A/s1280/thumbnail_IMG_9520.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-HN6_Ad2hhz7msssZkf3VwpsHF8TNmVH-UQNWms8MC1wl6EjbGJ7vdJYDX9tsWtNGMXjasZkRQcwoZXybJvuKW64vU2zqGihN93Z0pwHmg_eUlSUpSGR3JW_E-xBdONzEAFsGMP3rBMpRkgZGCNK1WsEZVHs2JDyyc5d5uCrwo2IVzVPmTi3lo3qw8A/w640-h480/thumbnail_IMG_9520.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">New Year's Eve</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">We got home from our trip just in time to eat treats and play a few games.

For this reason, no one wanted to go with us and we ventured there alone. We had a great day. It was hot but there was a nice breeze. We thankfully missed the extremely long lines and had fun talking to various people as we did wait in lines. The show was amazing.

We really had a blast and plan to make this a new tradition.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs_PSz2FTGzcMdAF2bdQpbp2UlNDUak-lRPjwGoQ-CBhEbSpLPfDc79AVK7E9at7NtticVbi3oKHMJEmg5Fhq27FYjppQ5Io7w_PKI9y1ZnwIy01Tu0BzyrcrIAOkvc_jldR_NlT8HQOh73n6YoaB67WoLnXMPuywMeP24aQ9J4B2RtTUrtPxP3nf-Rg/s320/IMG_1552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs_PSz2FTGzcMdAF2bdQpbp2UlNDUak-lRPjwGoQ-CBhEbSpLPfDc79AVK7E9at7NtticVbi3oKHMJEmg5Fhq27FYjppQ5Io7w_PKI9y1ZnwIy01Tu0BzyrcrIAOkvc_jldR_NlT8HQOh73n6YoaB67WoLnXMPuywMeP24aQ9J4B2RtTUrtPxP3nf-Rg/w640-h480/IMG_1552.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></span><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdqQ6xWaoUUm9j4sFIjFTFWZA06SYOQ-kqd5roPcrMCcNZXORazbotMs5vrDY3j6XOO1Ao7Mukb0h_go5wn2feHJlXb21JC9xT6yIiozUaMm2RRo5Gd8JZ6yR4wR5gwW6pCxvd7gfPU0dEk9YhkkLby3Qb-5X-u1NN0Rcl6QFFEXP9lc0LgPX7DuOdTA/s640/IMG_3408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdqQ6xWaoUUm9j4sFIjFTFWZA06SYOQ-kqd5roPcrMCcNZXORazbotMs5vrDY3j6XOO1Ao7Mukb0h_go5wn2feHJlXb21JC9xT6yIiozUaMm2RRo5Gd8JZ6yR4wR5gwW6pCxvd7gfPU0dEk9YhkkLby3Qb-5X-u1NN0Rcl6QFFEXP9lc0LgPX7DuOdTA/w640-h480/IMG_3408.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5v6V83UFb0m073g1vO6cbTHZWqtK3cntVLbWgrDN2srprltWitu98ILl0OXILR_a5yETkksPhfwGGhmWzmRWXo9au2g6pM1LPUU-Ph1urLBqFoRc6UNJAzcww9KqB5LJCSczzAqWR0eK2glLG6RxxhsPh2iMvdjzf94X7rUWfehDIOHzFP_oFlqwsA/s640/IMG_3397.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5v6V83UFb0m073g1vO6cbTHZWqtK3cntVLbWgrDN2srprltWitu98ILl0OXILR_a5yETkksPhfwGGhmWzmRWXo9au2g6pM1LPUU-Ph1urLBqFoRc6UNJAzcww9KqB5LJCSczzAqWR0eK2glLG6RxxhsPh2iMvdjzf94X7rUWfehDIOHzFP_oFlqwsA/w640-h480/IMG_3397.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Jaime did not think I would be brave enough to ask them if she could have her picture taken with them.

I said I was too old. I did go off the regular diving board. There was 70 year old going off it- ha ha. We went swimming another time and Ethan had fun duking me and playing tag with me. At one point he was holding me and carrying me around like a rag doll. I guess I was in a good mood that day, as I usually don't like to get wet and duked anymore. I am sure it was a sight to see him dunk his old mom.

Luckily she was sitting on a bunch of eggs and so we figured we would see if our rooster had been successful or not. In the mean time my sister Deborah had four hens that had been raised in her daughter's high school class. They took the chicks at some point and didn't want them anymore and so I told her I would take them. I wasn't sure if any of our eggs would even hatch and so I ordered some chicks off of KSL. I like cute types- Polish and silkies I got six because some tend to die or are roosters. So, now we were to 11 chickens. Guess what our hen actually hatched 6 babies (I think there were 16 total. I am so glad she didn't hatch that many). One died, but five lived. It was so neat to watch the mom take care of them. They were so tiny and cute. Long story short, now we had 16 chickens all at different stages and in different locations. What a pain!!!!! It took a few months of building different temporary pens and trying to protect chickens from each other, as the pecking order is a real thing. I am happy they are all finally out in the coop and we have even started to get a few tiny eggs. Sadly, we also have five rooster!!!. Time will tell if they stay nice or end of soup- jk.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGteL4RM6KIOzkouyQe2yWW4JbUUCcV7gBoNEUtTZJaP5Wclztn06bVf0V63_8VTxAE8ioVqiseVvCMATKReNyAjWkXtyUZWonyoHF_gqbXHp4zahHOfbl2pQfSTuNoMX7xvIk85Znad94dxMyRCH1i7AokGWY8OdZgzvTgddrgqP7I4XpKLWkzbjqQ/s800/IMG_3849.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGteL4RM6KIOzkouyQe2yWW4JbUUCcV7gBoNEUtTZJaP5Wclztn06bVf0V63_8VTxAE8ioVqiseVvCMATKReNyAjWkXtyUZWonyoHF_gqbXHp4zahHOfbl2pQfSTuNoMX7xvIk85Znad94dxMyRCH1i7AokGWY8OdZgzvTgddrgqP7I4XpKLWkzbjqQ/w480-h640/IMG_3849.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfU6-HYJD-qtFquAx19R3_chZ2B6_mPGQc60vNBY8SJOzClHE4wCa46ko6aIo3a8koVkQYFpaZBwnjcouyMcOwSruIfnzPqPuUxVAAWuJrIJHECFdGXhH7iFyaV1Q_SbylAZvxosub51oDTR9i0LLtoppVHae4pA7yKUVyVk1zGcB0XsNUx162Dyz-3Q/s640/IMG_3807.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfU6-HYJD-qtFquAx19R3_chZ2B6_mPGQc60vNBY8SJOzClHE4wCa46ko6aIo3a8koVkQYFpaZBwnjcouyMcOwSruIfnzPqPuUxVAAWuJrIJHECFdGXhH7iFyaV1Q_SbylAZvxosub51oDTR9i0LLtoppVHae4pA7yKUVyVk1zGcB0XsNUx162Dyz-3Q/w640-h480/IMG_3807.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUlqcJEAn0quAd9VsLQ1UXlDgIUhVCHFL7oI7642XJWPrTwnIvO4QCoReOdBFoANxdOgsUQ50N29SSt6MTZGjylLx2Wav7-p1NOTYMCF319eTXC5c83qFr1anC5TQtzARR5gOpu1_Xq_u0dky2QOM2qJj3S3p238ghcQW8LX8mSQ047vXkJkllIHHRtg/s800/IMG_3712.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUlqcJEAn0quAd9VsLQ1UXlDgIUhVCHFL7oI7642XJWPrTwnIvO4QCoReOdBFoANxdOgsUQ50N29SSt6MTZGjylLx2Wav7-p1NOTYMCF319eTXC5c83qFr1anC5TQtzARR5gOpu1_Xq_u0dky2QOM2qJj3S3p238ghcQW8LX8mSQ047vXkJkllIHHRtg/w480-h640/IMG_3712.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Three of the four chickens raised by the students are the friendliest chickens I have ever seen.

Alex ended up having a nice time as well. I guess all the kids thought it was pretty cool to have a real cowboy there. The weather wasn't great for them and it rained--That is why Adam is in shorts.

It was also great to only have one teenager with us and therefore no one for him to bicker with. We played games, watched movies, and just enjoyed relaxing. I did get brave and try this rope swing with Ethan.

(Who even knew something like this even existed.) During a game, him and another player collided and his knee was injured. After many doctors visits, an MRI, lots of swelling and pain, it was determined that Alex suffered a bone contusion. His bone was bruised severely causing many microscopic breaks that then caused the swelling because of bleeding. The doctor used a needle to remove the blood. He removed almost 1/2 a cup of blood and said it was the record for the amount drained at their clinic that month. Poor Alex was out of work for around 3 weeks and had to be on crutches.

It was crazy to see Disneyland from a new perspective and without a ton of people. </span> </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdJFp8qd2eH_ZeoTFtj_3dIJYT0cRstkcHV6Ef3k0yTMDe2N2aFLtz00UH-HY4O9DCURo3U23cUWgrGj-N1wrkz0PStfL2HV74UPhuimhShbXRaD8sAltGFaIW52XWY65scxbRxaTPf1_CUmJTOrXZgGH_urKezUQwIMqL8EZ2us1qiXBZttjj9FPodg/s320/IMG_9059%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdJFp8qd2eH_ZeoTFtj_3dIJYT0cRstkcHV6Ef3k0yTMDe2N2aFLtz00UH-HY4O9DCURo3U23cUWgrGj-N1wrkz0PStfL2HV74UPhuimhShbXRaD8sAltGFaIW52XWY65scxbRxaTPf1_CUmJTOrXZgGH_urKezUQwIMqL8EZ2us1qiXBZttjj9FPodg/w480-h640/IMG_9059%20(2).jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqoyQlluJsjzh5oz9PtW1iWwFCTg-GTekWZC6mceuIAH_s018u-f1YkZL7RnTRqlXTJxnh_oqbubkphikgDFiemlFc9I5m8DFJnj3JaZYxLKgRRCfuydw6kcu7MC_QqjWVmumxwog7n5S0AZ36NkNrIbskHZn-j9g2xCu84ecrhQeOQZOeWDgkqJ8yg/s1280/IMG_9035.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqoyQlluJsjzh5oz9PtW1iWwFCTg-GTekWZC6mceuIAH_s018u-f1YkZL7RnTRqlXTJxnh_oqbubkphikgDFiemlFc9I5m8DFJnj3JaZYxLKgRRCfuydw6kcu7MC_QqjWVmumxwog7n5S0AZ36NkNrIbskHZn-j9g2xCu84ecrhQeOQZOeWDgkqJ8yg/w480-h640/IMG_9035.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1_1rq5w1EGJTY0pjfY6dk-IHmScGl5Ph0EAVB7FlTUHu2Biq324kUUsLYhEM2hOBsyBXYiSigTDozMjlGngnfbUk80AqIqZ1jx_Y7HybUKgTJk4AMRPNmN_nh-67JRQFURdud-5Kq4Ce4nGNwacyw3g2mH8X8pjMwNbaIOqJgbYHTDRKlw28ahJ1SlQ/s1024/IMG_8990%20(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1_1rq5w1EGJTY0pjfY6dk-IHmScGl5Ph0EAVB7FlTUHu2Biq324kUUsLYhEM2hOBsyBXYiSigTDozMjlGngnfbUk80AqIqZ1jx_Y7HybUKgTJk4AMRPNmN_nh-67JRQFURdud-5Kq4Ce4nGNwacyw3g2mH8X8pjMwNbaIOqJgbYHTDRKlw28ahJ1SlQ/w480-h640/IMG_8990%20(3).jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-RM5PAFi1yJHSPcAaetEcOk2orNU-r7fR0hpMOqiCdNjpHRMfPXhRFSKNnVgsgD4aErXzreOYxvTndXmgNbpG_60UB3sRbgUwOEVIR-R7I_aZjwkObV86zLoaDrR6HxtXacIft_IXp94mrr3eqzpPqWU_tA7gUmz12CEMCiGvSYBPWqKa11YXkfU3gg/s1024/IMG_8981%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-RM5PAFi1yJHSPcAaetEcOk2orNU-r7fR0hpMOqiCdNjpHRMfPXhRFSKNnVgsgD4aErXzreOYxvTndXmgNbpG_60UB3sRbgUwOEVIR-R7I_aZjwkObV86zLoaDrR6HxtXacIft_IXp94mrr3eqzpPqWU_tA7gUmz12CEMCiGvSYBPWqKa11YXkfU3gg/w640-h480/IMG_8981%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">We didn't go to Disneyland when we first got to California.

They hung out with their Grandma Jeri a few times and had fun doing that. They both admitted they really missed us and were bored with us being gone. I figured Ethan would miss us, but was surprised Adam did, as he never wants to hang out at home. I guess they do need parents- ha ha. They missed me cooking food them- even though they usually complain about what I do cook.

It's a good thing Jaime speaks Spanish, as some of the employees do not speak English. We have become regulars at a few.

I can't believe how long it has been. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday and sometimes an eternity. So much has happened since he has been gone. I know he was taken for a gloroius purpose, but that doesn't mean that I do not still miss him and feel a void without him. I often wonder what he would be up to. Would he be married and have kids?? He would love to go skiing, golfing, to the Aggie games, and tons of other things with Mike and my other boys. I am sure he is watching from above, but at times like these we miss him even more. I have learned so much from losing him. I am a better person for what I have gone through. I have turned to my Savior more because of what I have experienced. I need Him more and not less. My heart aches for those who turn their back on our Savior during hard times. I promise He will be by your side and help make the journey easier. Trials are not fun and we often do not know why things happen. I just trust that the reward has to be even more grand when the pain is so hard. I am thankful for my knowedge of the gospel. I am so thankful that I know that all wrongs can be made right- if not in this life, in the next. We are tested to see where we will stand and what we will do. It would be to easy if life didn't have any ups and downs; We wouldn't learn anything. Trials are not fun, but necessary. Remember, it's easy to love someone who is kind and gives us what we want. It shows true commitment when we love those that are making our life more difficult. Our Savior is not mean and He is not punishing us. He is just seeing where our devotion lies and also knows what we can learn through hard times. Don't forget, His life was not easy. Trials are a waste if we do not learn anthing and become better. I know that makes it sound easy, and it is not. Just take it one day at a time. Surround yourself with "light" and turn to Him more for help and strength. I am so thankful my Savior makes up where I lack and that someday I can hug Him and thank Him for all He has done for me. Because He laid down His life and suffered all things, I can be with my family forever. I love Him so much more for this knowlege.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd3Ys5FovUyxO0LljtHXw44zVaBWF_ume-D2g-GoAiWzWuYvitAOsDHxZuQdW-QLAVtKx35LvoiRlszoaO379MdvvwKfbpqi_gSV21QD_q-znL8HD1BOw5y9F7ZuhPrbXUZmis3txj-Kx4BSuNzQQr1EJ6InVsuCOsJTYqjT3yj6R_d1hpXDx6Rcyi_w/s480/IMG_7711.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="480" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd3Ys5FovUyxO0LljtHXw44zVaBWF_ume-D2g-GoAiWzWuYvitAOsDHxZuQdW-QLAVtKx35LvoiRlszoaO379MdvvwKfbpqi_gSV21QD_q-znL8HD1BOw5y9F7ZuhPrbXUZmis3txj-Kx4BSuNzQQr1EJ6InVsuCOsJTYqjT3yj6R_d1hpXDx6Rcyi_w/w640-h360/IMG_7711.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;">We decided we needed to do something big for the ten year anniversasry. We planned a trip to Disneyland. It was a wonderful trip and we made a lot of memories. Mike's mom Jeri came; It was fun to have her with us.

They mostly dealt with tomaotes but also with various fruits like watermelon and canteloupe. Ethan worked for another farmer weeding fields and harvasting. It was very nice when they would bring me home the "ugly" produce that was still good enough to eat, but not to sell. It actually was a blessing because my garden did horrible this year. I freaked out because of the drought and over watered. My plants all got something known as root rot. My tomato and pepper plants never grew in two months. I was so sad. I finally pulled them and fed them to the goats, which was pointless because they were so tiny. Luckily, Jaime brought me a ton of tomatoes that I froze and plan on using to make salsa this winter. I also had enough rejects that I was able to give a ton away as well. I plant a big garden so I can share with others. I was sad thinking that I would not be able to do that, but like I said she brought me enough and I was able to share. Adam still loves friut. I had to hide the melons from him, especially if I was planning on giving it to someone else. He is known to eat an entire crenshaw or canteloupe in one sitting.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsxjBaXorSFJm4ouTESHPibGsBKXbUOb8ssIL1tSkmEIsRmdSbt2pUbD7X8JPst2yvCujTKvICR6ePobbpUM4XiDBBAMNTTR3Nu_n3RZCwX2Pk25_vfNWCoseshLhb1gJn461JJAWYWplCm70ymydTc1dnDtUBrbyaKVeV5jQdUX2PnGUnndOa1QGV7w/s320/IMG_2401.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsxjBaXorSFJm4ouTESHPibGsBKXbUOb8ssIL1tSkmEIsRmdSbt2pUbD7X8JPst2yvCujTKvICR6ePobbpUM4XiDBBAMNTTR3Nu_n3RZCwX2Pk25_vfNWCoseshLhb1gJn461JJAWYWplCm70ymydTc1dnDtUBrbyaKVeV5jQdUX2PnGUnndOa1QGV7w/w480-h640/IMG_2401.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicIpGMK9cWJcVzGR3ycSyB0uGCJZRo0f_HQRqUK3RHp5xTBE3h-IcsohMq3dvG4cxI0Kc5wG4bVuhxlf_pyIqtPJtmq5_0iMyO6aIDWEQTNna4gKp4Gygu8w5l8qLF0Gie5EB12JE6hCp_EVJ-hdsb9Ji_QH8rfod6PXUXw63tlA-W373-EPvJWgwWxA/s1600/IMG_3853.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicIpGMK9cWJcVzGR3ycSyB0uGCJZRo0f_HQRqUK3RHp5xTBE3h-IcsohMq3dvG4cxI0Kc5wG4bVuhxlf_pyIqtPJtmq5_0iMyO6aIDWEQTNna4gKp4Gygu8w5l8qLF0Gie5EB12JE6hCp_EVJ-hdsb9Ji_QH8rfod6PXUXw63tlA-W373-EPvJWgwWxA/w640-h480/IMG_3853.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">taking a lunch break</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfQV00gEKDWichfsh8JiXGDaIR7IwH4hNuw7FD_lONFas20TO9XXlHrbAb6ZToUIhpfzoD1pBwD1DixsNan2caThusRPL6PRL8oWEbkt6KVpG3aNmW1TyAMVUbt7dCqyEUy_IRQU1Mingf3-mJu2emM9pJ8xAtlwe8lrLCJW8bad-KxgZu-KeKpM7i8A/s1280/IMG_8048.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfQV00gEKDWichfsh8JiXGDaIR7IwH4hNuw7FD_lONFas20TO9XXlHrbAb6ZToUIhpfzoD1pBwD1DixsNan2caThusRPL6PRL8oWEbkt6KVpG3aNmW1TyAMVUbt7dCqyEUy_IRQU1Mingf3-mJu2emM9pJ8xAtlwe8lrLCJW8bad-KxgZu-KeKpM7i8A/w640-h480/IMG_8048.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Let the cookouts begin.

We also rode a ferry to see Alcatraz island. We spent a few hours there and it was very eye opening. We purchased this cool magnet that was a rule to the imates and totally applies to children.

We could have done it more quickly but I kept stopping to try to see if I coud see any seals in the water below (this annoyed Mike and so I did it more than I needed to Ha ha!!). I actually did see some, but they were microscopic and if you didn't know what you were looking for you woud have missed them.

Boy do I feel old now!!!!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We received some hard news this past fall. After a lot of testing, Alex was diagnosed with the same condition that Ryan passed away from- hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. His heart has thankfully not progressed to the level that Ryan's was at. As a procaution, Alex had a heart defibrillator placed in February. We are so thankful for modern medicine and for the tender mercy from above in finding out about Alex's heart. We feel blessed that Alex will be ok and can still live a normal life. To be safe we had extra tests run on both Adam and Ethan. Thankfully they do not have the same conditoin. We will continue to have their hearts checked yearly, as we have been doing. Jaime will have all the extra tests run in a few weeks. (Jaime checked out fine as well!!!) </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOgWlcPw7Y7XpO3hcmk6-IYMFV4DBkrBx2zmy1C9NY5AQB3JcJBj53IcaY_qHqI7HzO38CxnudAO8wYvq4KjnzUoBawX2kje_c1e7poqQdKOCBMxCNNB5ZZVHPCZtyLXEB40gqSzzpIjIywiLqK-3p-LOJd1a-OH7ba2e0DRd5pdi5Z-ilXOgZ6AgHVw/s640/IMG_3825%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOgWlcPw7Y7XpO3hcmk6-IYMFV4DBkrBx2zmy1C9NY5AQB3JcJBj53IcaY_qHqI7HzO38CxnudAO8wYvq4KjnzUoBawX2kje_c1e7poqQdKOCBMxCNNB5ZZVHPCZtyLXEB40gqSzzpIjIywiLqK-3p-LOJd1a-OH7ba2e0DRd5pdi5Z-ilXOgZ6AgHVw/w480-h640/IMG_3825%20(1).jpg" width="480" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">The heart </span><span style="color: #274e13;">defibrillator</span><span style="color: #134f5c;"> is huge!!

I thought it was just a party for Hna. Williamson’s and Elder Forsberg’s birthday, but I was included. I didn’t tell them, but Elder Kay did. We ate pizza and then three cookie cakes (they were actually brownies), and sang. Then we all played both of Hna. Williamson’s ukeleles. Later that night, we went and visited Jose Ramos. He wasn’t home so we just left the cookies. We had dinner with the Ayalas and the elders. She fed us flautas or also known as taquitos. They were super good. After that, we went to go have a lesson with someone but they weren’t home. So we taught some other people that lived there. Then we had great lessons over the phone with Angel and Sergio.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">On Tuesday we had DCM. For lunch I had Wendy’s. I have so many gift cards to use up. Afterwards, we had a lesson with Charles. He is super sweet. He just has a hard time remembering, but little by little he is. We drove over to knock on a door and the guy wasn’t there. We saw this lady walking with her kids outside so we went and talked to her. Her name is Janelle. She invited us into her house and loved what we shared with her. We were about to leave but we knocked another door and met Jose. He is awesome! He started asking us about baptism and he wants to be baptized in May. He is this cute 74 year old man. We knocked on some more doors in Ridgeland and then drove to the Island. We had an interesting lesson with Tami. Lots of things were going on and she wasn't super focused. For dinner we went to the Lynch’s house. We ate breakfast again but this time waffles!! It was super good, and I ate way to much. Then we taught english class. After that, we went over to see Belkis and her family with the elders. We did a pass off lesson. Hopefully they will start to progress and come to church next week. We drove to some lessons and they weren't there. So we stopped by these members that lived close by. They are awesome. We had never met them before, but they let us straight in. After that, we had a lesson with Roberth and Bro. Lynch. The spirit was so strong and Bro. Lynch and Roberth just hit it off great. Bro. Lynch is a DJ and is super strong in the gospel. Roberth wants to be like that too.. We talked about the spirit world, resurrection, judgement, and the three kingdoms. Roberth was super surprised about the 3 kingdoms. He wants to go to the Celestial kingdom and knows to do that he has to do the 5 things (doctrine of Christ). He has to ba baptized!! Bro. Lynch shared a really strong testimony about change and prayer. It was an amazing lesson. </span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">On Wednesday, we had a lesson with Amy. Her mom may have Alzheimers, but she still has her personality and sass. Sje is hilarious. Amy wants us to come back and keep sharing messages with her! She is going to make a yummy lunch for us next week. We stopped by a tienda, talked to some people, and handed out English class cards. Sometime during the day whole we were doing Hna. Williamson said, "Hay gallinas pecando." I thought what the heck until I saw two white chickens or roosters on the side of the road. So I said, "Hay gallinas peleando." She goes, "Oh that's what I meant." Doesn't seem super funny, but I couldn't stop laughing. For dinner, we went and ate with the Turney's. Brother Turney actually served his mission in Utah and one of his areas was Hooper! He doesn't remember reallt anyone and some of them probably passed away. We ate Lasagna soup with them. Never had that before, but I want the recipe. It was delicious! We sang them a song with Hna. Williamson’s ukelele and showed them a video about Christ. </span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Thursday around lunch time we went to Nicol’s house to help her out and have a lesson. She fed us lentils and this pasta salad for lunch. We answered some of her questions about the law of chastity and talked about temples. She was really intrigued and wants to learn more. After that, we drove up to Ridgeland and had a lesson with Guadalupe. She is super sweet. We taught them about prophets and she said a beautiful closing prayer after we taught her how to pray. Then we had a lesson with Jose. We talked about purpose of the doctrine of Christ. Afterwards, we had a lesson with Janelle and all the kids there. We taught the Apostasy with cupstoration and they loved it. We had dinner in our apartment and just relaxed for a minute. The rest of our lessons canceled for the day and then we taught English class. Elder Forsberg’s birthday was the next day, so we had a little party after. Lots of cake, and candy! I have figured out that I now like Mexican candy. At first I didn't because it is spicy, but now I love it.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Friday after lunch and some weekly planning we went over to Nicol’s house again. It was funny because she told this whole story about her new nail kit that went on and on. We taught her about the Word of wisdom and she said she'll keep it!! We read 1 Nephi 8 with her and she wanted to know what it all meant. We called the court house and got a time set up for her to get her marriage license!! Woo hoo! We talked more about baptism and her needing to come to church. (She didn't end up coming, so we will have to push it back.) After that, we had an in person lesson with Charles. We taught him about the Book of Mormon and are for sure bringing a member next time. Then we called Roberth and taught him about the Word of Wisdom. He said that he is already keeping it without even knowing it. I love people that do that! Then we stopped by Maria and Kailer's house. Kailer had read to ch. 26 in the Kids Book of Mormon! We taught them about the Atonement and then baptism. Kailer is just adorable and has such great questions. He really wanted to come to church this week but couldn't. For dinner, we went out to Crackerbarrel with the Freemans and the elders. It was Elder Forsberg’s restaurant he wanted to eat at. I got the fish fry and it was really good. After that, we knocked on a door looking for this lady and 3 men answered. We asked of we could come in and they said yes. I love getting into house super quickly! They want to learn more about the gospel. To end the night we went and dropped by Tamid and Nelson's house. Nelson was there and por fin we were able to meet him. His kids have never been to church and he said we can teach them! He is super nice and we are excited to see how this plays out.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">We went out for lunch on Saturday with Rafael!! He found my favorite taco truck that had disappeared for a little while! I got a carnitas taco, and a taco and quesadilla de asada. It was delicious!! My mom would die for these tacos. After that, we had a lesson with Donovan. We talked to him about the law of chastity. He totally agrees with it! He is really thinking about baptism right now and really wants to do it. He just has to overcome some addictions he has first. After that, a good old friend of mine came and visited. Vondel drove down from Charleston to see me!! I haven't seen him for a year! We went and got these spicy fruit slushy things and talked. He has been working a lot but wants to go back to church. He is thinking about meeting with the missionaries again! That makes me so excited!! Then we stopped by this house and shared a scripture. We are going back to visit them again later this week. For dinner, we went over to Hna. Sanchez's house. I was full already and didn't want to eat. Some how I at a giant quesadilla, rice, beans, and horchata without feeling super sick. My mission has increased my ability to eat large amounts of food. We shared a quote about the Atonement with her and testified about it's power. After that, we had a great lesson with Ana and Jose. They had actually read the pamphlet and asked us about the Book of Mormon. Ana can't read super well, so Jose reads it for her. We taught them about the Book of Mormon and they loved it. They said they are going to read it together! Then we had a lesson with Angel and Cesar. We were able to teach them about Joseph Smith and the first vision. After that, we went and visited Roberto. We got to meet his friend Rogelio. We taught them about obedience and keeping the sabbath day holy. We invited them to church and they said they can't. They are going to Columbia to go to church there. They want to visit our church over there to see what it is like. </span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Yesterday was a really good day! We had lots of awesome lessons. We got to church at 9am for choir practice to then sing in front of everyone. It sounded pretty good, considering last practice I was the only soprano there. Then we were standing and greeting everyone and I saw Juan sitting there. THE Juan who I taught for a bit in Charleston and visited me in Greenville East. Didn't expect that! In the Spanish sacrament meeting we gave our testimonies, and listened to a beautiful musical number. We were also super happy because Donovan came. It was about believing in Christ even though we can't see him or feel the prints in his hands right now. After that, we went and visited this house. We taught Silvia and Visa from Guatemala. We taught them about the restoration and the spirit feeled the room. At the beginning they were saying they have their own church and the end they said wow that's true. We then had an early dinner with the Campbells and the elders. It was perfect we ate ham, potatoes, and this weird apple mayonnaise salad. They are converts to the church and have a really cool story. Bro. Campbell wasn’t looking for the church, but kept running into people who were members or missionaries. Finally, he had a change of heart and they were both baptized a couple of weeks after they got married. Then we drove an hour to Ridgeland for our lesson with Jose. Rafael came with us and Jose looked up to him so much (even though Rafael is younger). Rafael will be a really good mentor for him. After that, we had a lesson with Janelle. She had just lost some cousins in a car wreck, so she was sad. I was able to share some scriptures that helped me out in the past. We taught her about the restoration and the spirit was super strong. She was connecting the dots and said she had never heard this before! Then we had a lesson with Donovan. He wants to get baptized! He is just going through some hard things. The Dantes came with us to his lesson. The got lost in the dark and pouring rain, so we went to do find them. We taught him about tithing, and they said just the right things that he needed to hear. They bore powerful testimonies to him. Presidente Dante struggled with some of the things that Donovan is right now. Hna. Williamson and I kept looking at each other just in awe and happy shock that it went perfectly.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Because Sunday was Easter, I have been thinking a lot about the Atonement this past week. The Atonement was completed through Jesus Christ's suffering for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane, dying on the cross, and being resurrected three days later. If we didn't have all three if these things the Atonement wouldn't be complete. We wouldn't be able to make it back to our Heavenly Father. I have been thinking a lot about my brother Ryan and the resurrection lately. Wifhout the Atonement I would have no hope, no reason to live. It has been what has kept me afloat through the hard things in my life. Years ago I was reading in Alma when I stumbled upon these scriptures. It says, "...the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God, and be judged according to their works" (Alma 11:41). And the other says, "...even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame" (Alma 11:44). None of this is possible without the Atonement. I know that Jesus Christ lives and loves me. He is our Savior and our Redeemer. He died so I can live. I can be with my brother again because of him. I know that the power of the Atonement is real and can change lives. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.</span></span></p></div><div dir="auto" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="border: 0px;

We got up around 6:30am and drove to the beach for a zone p-day. We made it just in time to see the sun rise! It was gorgeous! Even prettier than the last time we went. After, we went and got breakfast. I got a Belgian waffle. For lunch, I made some good ole mac and cheese. It is pretty sad when you start craving it from a box. We went to dinner at the Goodsells’ house. They are super nice and have an adorable baby. They made us cafe rio chicken for tacos. It was really good. We shared a spiritual thought with them and as we were about to leave they asked us if we needed anything. Then Brother Goodsell asked, “Do you need any toilet paper?” There was a long pause. I have never been asked that on my mission. We responded, ‘Yes!” We were out of toilet paper and forgot to buy more. He told us that he had been asked that on his mission and it was when he needed toilet paper. He said that we were the first ones to ever say yes to his question. He had been asking missionaries for years. Well, there’s a first time for everything!</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Tuesday morning, we met with the elders to plan the MTC activity and then I practiced the piano for Zone Conference. Afterwards, we called Roberth. We read some of the Book of Mormon with him and set up a lesson in person. After that, we had a lesson with Jenny. She is going to have her baby next week! She is super excited. We taught her about prophets and she said she is going to read the pamphlet. Then we had another call with Charles. Slowly he is attaining the things we are teaching! After that, we went and knocked on this house. A lady opened the door and before I could ask to come in said, "Pasen!" I love when this happens! Her name is Ana and she really wants to have God more in her life. We are going to start teaching her and her 11 year old son. For dinner, we went to the Lynchs. They fed us breakfast for dinner. French toast, eggs, and bacon. It was delicious. I learned a new way of eating French toast. Put butter and brown sugar on it. The first piece I made the mistake of dumping syrup on top of that. It was very sugary! Then we went and taught English class.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Wednesday we had Zone Conference! It was awesome! I played the opening hymn and it was a miracle I didn’t mess up. Sister Monson taught us about the power of the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon and the Spirit are the biggest factors in conversion. She gave us each a Book of Mormon and invited us to read it and mark every time it mentions Jesus Christ and teachings regarding the doctrine of Christ. I am super excited to do it this way! Then President Monson gave us a training on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He went through a lot of scriptures and explained certain words. Here are a couple examples:</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mark 14:33 "sore amazed"</span><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> -The definition of sore amazed is awestruck or astonished.

It was good to learn new things and have other things be brought back to my remembrance. After that, we had lunch. I think it is the best one I have ever had after a zone conference. Fitting because it was my last one. Then we did role plays for the next three hours while President interviewed everyone separately. We practiced inviting members to be in lessons, teaching a five minute restoration, and inviting people to church with D&C 59:9-16. Then it was over, and I hadn’t been interviewed. We said the closing prayer, and started to clean up. Then I had my closing interview with President Monson. We talked about how to receive answers to prayers, what my plans are for the future, and marriage… Didn’t really like the last topic. I am doing something called MyPlan that is pretty much a course for finishing your mission. I liked the first week, but I’m not looking forward to the weeks on dating and marriage. To close the interview, he gave me a blessing. It was really neat. After that, Hna. Williamson and I drove to the church for a MTC activity that the youth were doing. We were giving a lecture and doing more role plays. We were there early so we practiced it and then presented. It went very well. It reminded me of the stake MTC activity I did when I was in 7th grade. It was a wonderful experience. Hopefully this activity touched the youth and inspired them to share the gospel.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Thursday, we did our first service that we have done in this area. We went and helped with a soup kitchen. We counted and put raw shrimp in bags. Then we cut fish and put it in bags. It was fun but didn't smell too great. Afterwards, we went and visited Juan's house. Juan wasn't there but this other guy Angel was. Funny thing is we had met him outside of a tienda and gave him English class info. We went inside and got to know him and his wife. They were taught by missionaries a long time ago and have lots of questions. We had a call with Charles and then went to our lesson with Roberth and got ice cream! We went to Kilwin's ice cream! I haven't had that since Charleston. We taught him about the premortal life as his ice cream was dripping everywhere! For dinner, we went and ate with Bob and Bev! They are so awesome! Sadly, they are going back to Montana for the summer next week. They fed us hamburgers, salad, lima beans, pickled beats, and chips. It was really good. Then we had ice cream for dessert. They bought just vanilla because they saw me the other time picking out the chocolate chips...when I wasn't eating chocolate. Dang, I thought I had done it inconspicuously. But it was sweet that they wanted to please me. So they said the chocolate we were going to get was the sprinkles. It was pretty funny. After that, we had a great lesson with Nicol. She fed us some of that cookie stuff again. After three desserts, I felt like I was going to throw up. We told her about General Conference and explained about a living prophet. She said we could come watch it with her! She wrote down, "Leer el Libro. Importante!" with a smiley face to remember to read the Book of Mormon. On the way to English class we called Jose Ramos and taught him about the ten commandments. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Friday, we finally had a lesson with Aurelio! He gave us ice cream too. A lot of ice cream to have in two days. He said that he was struggling because he lost his first job that he worked in the morning. But he got a new one! He is working cleaning a gym and is super excited! He said he is going to get the time to come to church and that everything will work out. As he was telling us this he started to cry. He said he was crying out of joy and gratitude. It was sweet.. He also told us that he still wants to be baptized. Now we just have to get his wife's permission. We did a video call with her and she is super nice. Just confused about what is going on. Aurelio wants us to teach her so she can know why he wants to be baptized. Afterwards, we drove up to Hardeeville and visited this house. We were looking for a guy named Enrique. A man opened the door and said that his name was Dilson. He said that there was an Enrique who lived there… Luis Enrique. Not the member we were looking for, but it was awesome! We are going back to teach Dilson, Luis, and Gerson. (During this Dilson, a baber, was cutting Gerson's hair) That was totally unexpected. After that, we went over to Carla's house. On the way we stopped at a tienda and this guy gave us some weird dried fruit. Needless to say, it was pretty gross. Tasted like a dried sugar coated sweet potatoe. At Carla's when they finally settled we taught them about the Great Apostasy. Her son Elias brought his friend Ziandre and we taught him too. He is 13 and has really good questions. He wanted a pamphlet in English and Spanish. To end the night, we had dinner with Cristian. We were early, which was awesome! I got these grilled chicken nachos that were delicious. I would totally recommend them! We talked about Jesus Christ. Probably will have to review that a little because the music started blaring for Karaoke night. We gave him a pamphlet and invited him to watch General Conference.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Saturday morning we watched the first session of General Conference at the Lynch’s house with Donovan. It was the only full one we watched in English. Donovan loved it and was taking notes on the little notebook that we gave him. I really liked when Elder Bodnar talked about heeding not what the wicked may say. To heed means to take notice or pay attention. We are going to not pay attention to what others are saying about not being righteous or making good decisions. We will keep our standards high. In between sessions, we went and visited Barbara. They said she wasn't home and was at therapy. Didn't really believe that, but hoped that. Didn't have time for much else, so we drove home. We watched listened to 30 minutes and watched 30 minutes of the first hour in English. Roberto could only have us come over half way through it. So we watched the last half with him in Spanish. Super cool because Elder Aidukaitus spoke! We saw him a couple weeks ago when he spoke to us at our half Mission Conference. I really liked how he talked about the gathering of Israel on both sides. Temple work is missionary work, just in a different form. We need both! After that, we drove to Jose Ramos's house to watch the Women's session with his family. They fed us pizza and wings which was perfect because I was starving! We gave Jose a notebook and he took notes! He loved it and said he learned so much. I loved the talk by Sister Rebecca L. Craven. Especially when she said if we want the church and the teachings of Jesus Christ to come out of hiding, we need to come out of hiding. We can't expect others to preach the gospel for us. Everyone needs to open their mouth and share it with others. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sunday morning we were able to do our studies! We made brownies and then went to Rafael's house for the first session of conference. Aurelio and Roberth came!! They both took notes and loved it! </span><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Astrid and her family watched it too. We had brownies, fruit, tamales, spinach artichoke dip, and chips. I loved the talk by Elder Gary E. Stevenson. He talked about love, share, and invite. It is something that we have been doing in my mission. We first love others and show them that we care. Then we share the gospel with them, and invite them to come and see. Sometimes it is 90% love and 10% share and invite. It depends on the person and what they need. In between sessions, we stopped by Maria and Kailer's house. It had been a while since we had seen them. Lola showed us their baby bunnies and let us hold them. The fit in the palm of my hand. Kailer told us he had read 14 pages in the Kids Book of Mormon!! He told us about what he read and explained the stories to us. His parents hadn't read, so we read the first chapter with them. We invited them to church and they seem like they really want to come. We are going to give them a church tour. After that, we raced over to Nicol’s house for the last session. She didn't answer the door, and so we were worried she wasn't there. We called and she said she was in the shower but would be right out. While we waited, Hna. Williamson listened to it in English while I picked flowers and tried to catch some lizards. Nicol let us in and we set everything up. She had made us bacon wrapped hotdogs. We brought some brownies for dessert. She also popped some popcorn and we put hot sauce on it. Never tried that, but it is actually pretty good. She had lots of questions and we answered them. During Elder Oaks talk, she said that he was talking about what she learned from our lessons (the Celestial kingdom). After it was over, she told us that she is going on vacation for a couple of weeks. Jesús has work in Charleston and she doesn't want to stay home alone, which makes sense. The sad thing is she will be gone for her baptism. She didn't realize that, but we told her we can move it back. We said we have more things we need to teach her first. I liked Elder Uctdorf's talk a lot. He talked about the widow's mite. Am I going to give all that I have? As well as a quote from another talk, "Jesus Christ is the way, the life, and the truth." </span></span></p></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;

I took a little nap and then we went to downtown Bluffton. We have been wanting to go walk there and see the stores. It is so adorable! I got Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for the first time. It was very chocolatey and yummy! Later that night, we went and visited the Avilas. They were actually home and let us in. Their dog doesn’t really like us and tries to eat us every time we go over. They put a hat on their cat and he fell asleep in my arms. We taught them about the plan of salvation. Afterwards, we and had a lesson with Roberto. It had been a very long time since we had one. We taught him about the Word of Wisdom. He said he is going to keep it!</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Tuesday morning we had DCM and ZCM. In ZCM the discussion was on sacrifice. We read 1 Kings 17:12-16. This widow sacrificed the rest of her food and gave it to Elijah. Because she did that her meal and oil didn’t run out. She was given more than she gave up. I gave the discussion on helping people keep commitments. This topic has been talked about 3 times over the past 6-8 weeks. Apparently, we needed to hear it again. Keeping commitments is helping them to keep covenants in the future. After that, we visited some more people out in Ridgeland. We found this awesome tienda and a lady we are going to teach. We were able to give out a lot of english class cards. Then we had a great lesson with Roberth. We read the Book of Mormon with him. Right after that, we had a lesson with Nicol and Jesus. We introduced the Book of Mormon to Jesus. They said that they are going to read it! Then we had a lesson with Tami. It had been a really long time. Her TV was on as usual, but with the weather channel. We were getting a tornado warning. A possible tornado had touched down 30 minutes away. Turns out we don’t know if it did. It might've just booped the ground and disappeared. We shared a thought about sacrifice, the same thing from ZCM. Right after that, we had dinner with the Lynches. We were waiting outside for a minute and it started pouring so hard. It was ridiculous! We ate chicken enchiladas, rice, chips and salsa with them. English class didn’t have a great turn out. Hispanics really don’t like driving in the rain.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">On Wednesday we went on exchanges!! I went to West Columbia with Hna. Bennion and Oyler!! It had been ages! Legit all of our lessons canceled or they weren’t there at the house. We taught a cute brother and sister. They have lots of questions! The primary activity we were going to run and our dinner got canceled. So we went to Manny's!! I totally forgot about it, but Hna. Oyler was a dear and remembered it for me. I got an elote and Mango colada. It was delicious. Right when we left it started pouring rain. This guy came over to the car and knocked on the window. I rolled it down and proceeded to get my right arm jacket and all soaked. He wanted money, all I had was a banana. So, I gave him that. Then we went and visited this kid named Alex. I had visited him on exchanges about 3-4 months ago. He wants to be baptized and his whole family that are members are backing him up!! It was awesome! We left and there was so much lightning and thunder. It was super cool! The sky was lighting up with purple white lighting. To end the night, we went to the church to do some things on the computer. They made spreadsheets and filled in information while I did some MyPlan.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Thursday morning we had a meeting at 9am with the Relief Society. I just sat and listened because I didn't know anything about their ward. But I got a lot of good ideas from it. Had a hard time staying awake during the hour and fifteen minutes. Then we unexchanged after a long drive. We were standing talking when Hna. Denmark let out a scream. There were caterpillars crawling on her foot. The were all over the ground. I caught like 7 of them. Also, the gas station that we went to had a part burned and melted. Turns out a truck lit on fire and it made on of the gas things go up in flames. Also, a very important thing to mention is that it was Hna. Willson’s 20th Birthday!!! Feliz Cumpleaños! On the way home we stopped in Ridgeland to visit a member. They moved, but we met a nice lady. We are going back to visit her. We got a text from Nicol that said she found out what kind of baby she would be having. We called her and she said that we could come over. They finally told us… a👦🏽! Jesus was busy for a minute so we started teaching Nicol about the law of chastity. She said that she broke it, but is glad that they are going to get married. She is just so accepting of the things that we tell her! For dinner we went to a Greek restaurant with the Freemans. I got this pork cabob, rice, and potatoes. It was good, but everything had an underlying taste of lemon. During dinner we had this interesting conversation about bulking and exercising. I asked, “What is more important, the gospel or bulking?” Elder Noble responded, "Well, Jesus Christ grew in all ways." Wasn’t expecting that retort. After that, we had english class. We had plans to go to Rafael’s house after it was over. We were about to leave when Roberto brought in a giant platter of fruit, then Donovan with a watermelon made into a basket with spicy fruit, and Angel with a cake and flowers. We had a mini party that none of us knew was going to happen! It was super fun, and our english class students stayed, ate, and sang to her. Then we went to Rafael’s house and had another mini fiesta. We ate some chicken tacos and all the other stuff from the class. We did this all around a fire outside. A catapiller was on Roberth, so I got it off his jacket. It left a stain there, and Roberth said a not very good word. I was super shocked and chastized him. As I was doing this the fire behind me swelled and cracked, shooting sparks all over. His eyes got huge, and he said he wouldn’t do it again. It was hilarious and cool. Before we left we all sang Count Your Many Blessings. Hna. Williamson’s phone died so we found our way home by prayer and landmarks. When we got home she opened up my present. It is really hard to shop for someone when they are with you ALL the time. I couldn’t really hide it.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">On Friday we had lunch with Margaret. We went to First Watch. We got soup and sandwiches. It was really good. She gave us these towels that said something and she didn’t realized what it meant. She explained how it related to us and we just smiled and nodded. When we left we couldn’t stop laughing. The thing that it said was totally not what she thought. (It is funnier not written) Then we stopped by the library to print off old fashioned english class cards. We visited some people and they weren’t home. We met a guy named Marlo outside. He is super nice and we are going to start teaching him. Sadly he lives on the island so we are going to have to pass him off to the elders. I made a joke about stealing one of his friends cats. Said they wouldn't miss it and he said they would. Jesus missed the 1 out of the 100 sheep and went to go find it. I got shot down and it was even with the scriptures!🐱 Then we met this lady outside in a parking lot with her daughter. Her daughter absolutely loved us from knowing us for 5 seconds. We are going to go visit them later in the week. After that, we had a lesson with Ana and her husband Jose. They loved the first vision and were in awe about it. We are super excited to keep teaching them. They don’t even know how much the gospel with bless and change their lives. For dinner, we went to some of Hna. Williamson’s friend’s house. They said if she served out her she could visit them and we did. They aren’t members and they have never met missionaries or allowed them in their house before. We ate spaghetti and got to know Amy, her brother Brad, and their mom who has Alzheimers. They are just the sweetest. They said that we could come over again!! Then we went to our lesson with Cesar and Angel was there. We taught them about our purpose as missionaries and why we give commitments. Angel said that short lessons are going to do nothing and that we need to go to church. We were like you are correct and invited him to church. Afterwards, we went and saw Elisandro. We hadn’t seen him in ages because he can’t drive right now. He fed us and the elders a second dinner of chicken sopes. Elder Forseburg ate 10 of them! For dessert we had this layered cake. When we went out the the car, the elders gave Hna. Williamson her present. It was wrapped in bubble wrap and duck tape. She had a blast opening it and loved that one of the things was apples.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Saturday morning we helped set up a Primary activity with the elders. Then we helped run a couple of the games. It was fun. After it was over we ran to Walmart to buy a present for Erika’s baby shower later and ingredients for dinner with Nicol the next day. During lunch, I studied on the stairs while Hna. Williamson was jump roping outside. A Hispanic started talking to her and now we are going to teach him. He wants to come to church! Hna. Williamson said that she just felt like she needed to jump rope and that happened! After that, pretty much all of our lessons canceled, even the church tour we had planned with Maria and Kailer. It was hard, but we invited a ton of people to church. Then we went to Erika’s baby shower at 7pm. She is having a girl👧🏽! We met her friend Gina who is awesome. We talked to her for 45 minutes while we waited for Erika to arrive. We ate some catrachitas which are fried tortillas with beans and cheese on top. Erika arrived and then we had this chili. Then we left, but we are going to have lunch with Erika and Gina sometime. Gina loves the Lord and will hopefully accept a message!</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Sunday morning we had choir practice for the musical number we will be doing on Easter Sunday. I bore my testimony in the english sacrament meeting. When I walked up I noticed Astrid and her kids sitting in the second side pew! After I finished I went and sat by them. Astrid told me after that it meant a lot to her and showed her that God was aware of her. I remind her of a Sister missionary that she was really close to who served here a couple years ago. She is very sick and doesn’t have much longer to live. Astrid told me that I was wearing a similar outfit and hairstyle of what the sister wore on her last Sunday in that area. I’m just glad that Astrid is recieving help and assurance during this difficult time. Then we had a bomb relief society lesson. The spirit was so strong and I learned so much! I was taking notes like crazy. We met one of the elder’s investigators. Turns out she lives in our apartment complex one building over. Then we had the Spanish meeting. Before it started we noticed that we had a missed call from Nicol. We called back and she said she was coming to church. We met her outside and she came in with us! Giant miracle. We have been praying for this to happen. Also, Jonas showed up and we weren’t expecting that. He said that he got up at 5am so he could finish everything he needed to do to be there. I bore my testimony and shared what I learned from General Conference. Roberth also came to church so that made us super happy. After church was over, we raced home to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Then we had a lesson with Maria, Kailer, and his dad. We taught them the first part of the plan of salvation and the kids had such great questions for example: Where did God come from? How did God get His body? Kailer just soaks up what we teach him and Lola follows his example. We are just hoping that the parents will show more desire and interest. After that, we had a great lesson with Ana and Jose. We went over Joseph Smith and the restoration of the priesthood. We read out of the pamphlet to help them understand. They loved it and don’t have any questions. Then we drove up to Ridgeland and gave out some english class cards. We found a family that we are going to visit later this week. For dinner, we went over to Nicol’s hosue. She made us tacos with really spicy salsa. I have learned by experiences that really spicy salsa upsets an empty stomach. We went over more of the law of chastity with her and she was connecting the dots. To end the night, we had a lesson with Roberto and Brother Lynch. We taught him about the law of chastity. He asked his hypothetical questions, but in the end he understands that it is important. We helped him understand a way to pray for guidance in making decisions. Brother Lynch shared a powerful testimony about temples and brought the spirit into the room. Roberto told us that he wants to continue learning and be baptized. He wants to push back his date to next month for when his family is in town so they can come. He also invited his friend to come over and meet with us this upcoming Saturday. He is turning into a little missionary!</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">I just wanted to share a quote from General Conference from the talk Valient Discipleship in the Last Days.” It says, “God won’t force us to do good, and the devil can’t force us to do evil.

We woke up at 5:45am to go to the beach and watch the sunrise. It was really pretty! The water was freezing! After a minute my feet were kind of numb to the cold. After that I got a yummy bagel breakfast sandwich and then took a fat nap. Later that day some of our lessons canceled, so we went to dinner with Roberto. We went to El Nuevo Vallarta. I got a tostada and a chimichanga. It was really fun! Roberto brought his cousin Pedro. We were able to teach them about the steps of repentance. After dinner was over, we drove to West Columbia. Elder Navarrete and Forsburg waited for us and we followed them there. We lost them for a minute and it was raining. All of a sudden, we see red lights and Hna. Williamson slams on the breaks. We barely didn't hit the semi in front of us. I don't know how we were able to slow down so fast, but we did. It was scary but neat. We stayed with the hermanas and they stayed with the elders there. We slept on the floor like a sleep over!</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We were able to go exercise Tuesday morning instead of driving forever. We got ready and then we went to Spanish Conference!! It was awesome! We learned a lot of great ideas and things. Something that I really liked was the training on the Atonement we had. There were pictures of Jesus and then the 5 steps in the Gospel of Jesus Christ (faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the holy ghost, and endure to the end). They all relate back to Jesus Christ and his infinite Atonement. Without it we couldn't do anything to become like our Heavenly Father. We also learned a way to get into more people's homes so they can feel the Spirit. We are going to try it out and see how it goes. It was Hna. Stewart's, Kurn's and my last Spanish conference so we gave our departing testimonies in Spanish. I was so nervous, but I was able to say what needed to be said and heard. For lunch, we ate hamburgers and fruit. I had been craving a burger for ages. Then we drove home 2 ½ hours. I was sick of driving by the end. I drove past Charleston too! We got home just in time for our dinner with the Lynch family. They fed us Lasagna and brownies. It was perfect after a long ride. We did the human pretzel activity with them and they loved it. It was super fun! Then we taught English class and gave the elders their long awaited food.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Wednesday we had DCM! We pushed it back because of our Spanish conference. For lunch we went to Ihop. I got Mexican Tres leches pancakes. They were good but the cake is better. Afterwards, we went and visited Tami and Chris. We taught them about the Great Apostasy and First Vision. The spirit was super strong. We visited and sang some people after that. We talked to a lot of new people. Then we visited Donovan and talked about repentance. We went over the steps of repentance and read it in the pamphlet. He said it was just what he needed to hear. Afterwards, we went and saw Ezequiel with Rafael. They are just two adorable old men who will hopefully become good friends. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Not a lot happened on Thursday. We worked on some lists and had Family Home Evening as a Zone. We had a good lesson with Belkis and then had dinner with Brother Freeman. He took us and the elders to a fancy Italian restaurant. I got this Alfredo gnocchi dish. It was super good. The waiter was awesome and let me swap the tomatoe sauce for Alfredo. Then we taught English class to end the day. We called Donovan and followed up on the goals he made. After that, we had a stuffed animal fight. They we getting launched all over our room. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Friday was a super awesome day. Donovan wanted to experience the life of a missionary so he came to all of our lessons. He helped teach, handed out English class cards, and shared his testimony. We had lunch with Sister Miller and he loves her. It was super fun! We got two giant pizzas and shared funny stories. Donovan said that Sister Miller is going to be his mom here in South Carolina. After that we had a lesson with Aurelio. We went over the baptismal questions and learned some things that we can do to help them both out. We found some new people to teach with Donovan and got rejected too! We had a super awesome lesson with Richard, and Deblin and their families. We taught them about the restoration and they are going to pray about it. Then we went out for a late dinner. We went to a Mexican restaurant. Donovan and I got a Molcajete to share and Hna. Stewart and Williamson got enchiladas. We had a fun time and talked about Donovan’s experience. He said he doesn't think he could do it everyday. We said that going on a mission is hard but worth it. After we finish, we continue to share the gospel with others, just not 24/7.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Saturday, we went out to lunch with Rafael. I got this guayaba drink and it was pretty good. I got a flauta and chimichanga. The restaurant we went to, we have been there almost every week this transfer. The elders aren’t getting fed and we are getting fed all the time. Afterwards, we had a lesson with Tammi. It went good, but I have decided I don't like March Madness especially when it distracts people. Then we had a lesson with Maria and Kailer. Kailer remembered a little from before! We taught them about the restoration and played down by the banks. They had so much fun. Afterwards, we did a couple phone call lessons. We drove up to Paris Island for Hna. Stewart's going away party. We went to Elder and Sister Reynold's house. They fed us pizza and a cake cookie which is just a giant cookie with frosting. Then we had a quick lesson with Efrain and his friend Oscar. We invited them to read the Book of Mormon. Right after that, we met up with some of Hna. Stewart's friends from West Columbia who came to see her. It was very interesting and I will never forget that. Later, we went and saw Donovan. He was having a hard time, but was so happy to see us. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Sunday was testimony meeting. I got asked to lead the music and I really enjoyed it. I bore my testimony too. After church, I gave Donovan a drawing of Christ for his birthday and we gave him a bear. Then we went and visited this one family but they didn't answer. So we went and knocked on the door across the street. A guy named Oscar opened the door and was really nice. We sang to his daughter Iveth and him. They told us that we could come over another time! We were not expecting that. It was the spirit that lead us to knock on their door. Later, we taught Gabriel and then a lesson with Nicol. We taught her the rest of the restoration and she accepted it. She was super excited when we gave her own Book of Mormon. After that, a lot of our lessons weren't home, but Ignacio was. We taught him the whole plan of salvation. He accepted it and had no questions which means he understood it. It was funny because he would start to argue and explain stuff. We would then agree and he would be shocked that we believed the same as him. To end the day, we had an impromptu lesson with Roberto. We called before we went to knock the door. I did a Tow-mater when he asked if we were waited outside and said he was going to check. It was hilarious, you had to be there. Hna. Stewart and Williamson were cracking up laughing. We did a quick lesson about faith. I shared two stories with him that have related to me in my life. One was when Jesus talks to the people and says, "Oh ye of little faith." The other when the man comes to Jesus and asks him to heal his son. Jesus asks him if he has the faith and the man said no. Then he said, "Lord, help thou my unbelief." I explained that we can be those people of little faith or we can ask God to help us with our faith. We can't grow our faith on our own, we need almighty help. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Monday we went to the Ayalas for lunch. She hadn't finished so I was able to help her make tacos. They gave their goodbyes and we went to visit some more people. We finally were able to meet Derrick, Anthony, and Eric. Super nice and hilarious people. We said we would see them next week and they pointed at Hna. Stewart and said, "not her." All of our lessons didn't answer until dinner. We ate at the Bejar's house. They fed us tortas. They are a super sweet family and want to help with Donovan and Roberto. Later, we visited this house. The guy told us his name was Angel and we knew there was another one that lived there. So we asked, "Is there another Angel that lives here?" Hna. Stewart goes, "Yo!" We couldn't stop laughing. Right after that we went and saw </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Aurelio. He gave us this giant cake that was chocolate tres leches. We ate cake and shared a spiritual thought. Then we went and saw Donovan. We made him a list of good things he can do when he is feeling down or discouraged.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Tuesday was great! We had our last DCM of the transfer. We talked a lot about following up. If we invite people to do things and then don’t ask how it is going or if they did it, why invite? I think that it also relates to when we make goals in our lives. If we don’t measure and follow up on our progress and change, then we aren't accountable. We make a goal and then we don’t even do it. This happens a lot with me, but I am trying to be better with them. For lunch, Hna. Stewart wanted sushi, so we went to a Hibachi place. I got Hibachi and it was good, but they didn’t make it in front of us. Then we had our apartment inspection. We didn’t have a ton of time to clean, so I was stressed. We passed! They didn’t notice a lot of things that I thought they would’ve. We are never in our apartment, so there is never any time to clean it. Then we went and talked to a ton of people about English class. We went to the Bacon diner and got the owners' numbers. After that we had a lesson with Nicol and Erika came. They got along great and will hopefully become great friends! Nicol said she hadn't read the Book of Mormon, but found it online and has listened to a LOT of it. She started recounted it to us. We were all shell shocked. We taught her about the first part of the plan of salvation and ate the flan that Nichol made us. She is just the sweetest! For dinner we went to the Lynch’s house. They fed us Salmon stuffed with crab cakes, carrots, and my favorite part chocolate cake and carrot cake. The elders did a cool object lesson to explain the power of the holy ghost. Get a little bowl and fill it with water (represents the world) then sprinkle pepper all over it (sin) and stick your finger in it. It comes out all dirty. Then cover your finger with dish soap (gift of the Holy Ghost) and stick it in it. It will come out clean and it repels all the pepper away. The Holy Ghost is powerful and will help protect us if we are choosing the right. Then we taught English class and it was great! I taught my favorite Hondureños! We ended class with Malta Goya🤢 and presents for Hna. Stewart from Roberto.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Part 2- </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Wednesday was pretty chill. We went and signed airplane journals and then went shopping. Hna. Stewart spent a lot of the time packing. She did it pretty quickly. I take long time to pack for a one day trip. Later, we went and visited Oscar. Before we went in I looked over and Hna. Stewart had tears in her eyes. Hna. Williamson then said she would start crying if Hna. Stewart did. We knocked on the door and they both were 75% crying and the door opened. We got to meet Oscar's wife and it turns out this one guy we've been trying to teach over the phone lives there. We sang a song and then left. Hna. Stewart said the mom looked very concerned but Hna. Stewart just smiled. Then we went and sang a song to Jonas. After that, we had a really good lesson with Erik, Erika, Jocksan, and Deblin. We taught them about prayer and sang "Did you think to pray" with them. Erika is so young and knows so much. I absolutely love teaching them! After Ward coordination, we went over to Rafael's house. He had made a giant fire. We talked, ate snacks, and sang hymns. It was super fun! We watched the sky over the trees light up with lightning thinking that it was coming towards us, but it went the other way. Rafael brought out a giant rope and tied up Elder Navarrete so he couldn't leave. Hna. Stewart said she wouldn't leave so he didn't tie her up… she still left.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Thursday we drove to meet up with some other sisters and they took Hna. Stewart to Columbia. After that we went to some tiendas and we talked to lots of people. Then we had a lesson with Nicol. We taught her about more of the plan of salvation. We talked about baptism and invited her to be baptized. She said no and then said she was joking. She wants to be baptized on April 22nd! It was a really cool lesson and the spirit was strong. We didn't plan on asking her but felt like we should. Then we drove to our lesson with Belkis and Katherin. They are doing pretty good. We are going to get the headphones so they can listen to the Book of Mormon. We taught English class and to end the night called some people. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Friday morning we planned for our week and then went to lunch with the Clives. They fed us chicken quesadillas, fruit salad, and vegetables. Brother Clive is going to help us out with some of our lessons! After that, we had a call with Obert. He is awesome! He wants to come to church and change his life. The only hard thing is he lives so far from the church and doesn't have a car. But God will provide! We had dinner at home. We have done that a lot this week and it is good. We just haven't bought anything to make food, so we just throw stuff together. After that, we went over and had a lesson with Gabriel and his son. They are going to read the Book of Mormon and hopefully come to English class. Then we met with Donovan. We talked about following the prophet and the word of wisdom. Afterwards, we went to Jonas's house. We reviewed the restoration with cupstoration and he seems to be getting it this time!! To end the night, we called Roberth. He is awesome. Turns out he has friends that are members. He told us he has lots of questions. We were able to answer a couple of them. We read a scripture and he said that was all he needed to answer one of them. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We had a ward party Saturday morning. It was fun but super windy. I felt like Marilyn Monroe with my skirt blowing all over. We weren't able to stay for lunch because we had lunch with Rafael. He took us to a new taco truck this time. It was good, but the other one is amazing. Then we drove all the way out to Hardeeville. It was our first time actually going out and investigating there. We visited a tienda real quick and I took a couple wrong turns before we ended up at the house we were visiting. Right after we arrived a car pulled up. Which wouldn't have happened if I would've taken the right turns. He was the lady's husband. We are going back later this week to see them. Then we went and visited a member named Irma who is super cute. We went to go visit this one guy but he moved. We were able to talk to the family that lives there and they talked to missionaries before covid! The kids brought out their kids Bible book. We are going back during the end of the week. We dropped off a birthday present for the people we met last week. Afterwards, we had a lesson with Maria and Kailer. We finally met his dad. They are so sweet and Kailer and Aurora (Lola) love us so much! They are going to start reading the Book of Mormon. For dinner, we went to a Chinese buffet with Roberth, Sergio and his friends, and the elders. I went for the company and not the food… It was a lot of fun. Roberth is super awesome and really wants to learn. Then we went to a lesson with Efrain and Pedro. We taught them about the First vision and ate pizza. The rest of the night our lessons fell through. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Sunday morning we had our last choir practice and we performed. It went really well. Glad that's over! It was funny because we joked about getting transferred so we didn't have to sing but we ended up staying. Sergio, Roberth, and Jose Ramos came to church!! After church we went and visited a tienda. We were able to talk to a ton of people. Sometimes it is awkward and some people just ignore us, but we just laugh it off. The worst is when they say they speak English and know no one who wants to learn. It happens to me all the time. After that, we had a lesson with Nicol and Jesús was finally there. We retaught the first part of the plan of salvation so he could know it. Then we taught the rest. They had lots of good questions and loved when we read about it in the pamphlet. When we talked about what we need to do on earth (gospel of Jesus Christ) Jesús said he hasn't been baptized and that he needs to be. Nicol had a question about infant baptism. We talked about that and read a little from Moroni 8. Jesús agreed that baptism is for people who know what they are doing. Jesús is going to pray and think about baptism! Nicol loved her baptismal calendar and said she wouldn't share it with him. She wants them both to have a calendar. One the way home, we dropped off a present for Camden on the porch. We relaxed, had dinner, and then drove back to the church to pick up tamales. Hna. Solid left us some in the fridge. While we drove we called a guy named Juan. He wants to start coming to church again! Then we called Obert and he just made my day. He is just so excited to learn and said he will do everything we ask him to do. After that, we had a great call with Bryan. I tried to play off that I was from Honduras and he started to fall for it. He said he didn't fully believe it because he is from there. I was so close but couldn't keep a poker face. </span></span></p></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;

We didn’t really do anything and it was awesome. We drove up to have a lesson in person with Jose Ramos. We talked about some of the baptismal questions with him. He is getting so close to baptism. Please pray for him that he will be able to make his decision. Then, we went to dinner with Donovan. He took us to Longhorn Steakhouse. I got steak, mashed potatoes, and fries. It was really good, but was a lot of food. We taught him about fasting. We got home very full and went to bed.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Tuesday morning we had DCM. We had a good discussion on why we even do DCM. We need to counsel with others and share ideas to grow. After that we had lunch. I had some Wendy's chicken nuggets and this weird garlic rice and quinoa thing. It wasn't great, but the chicken nuggets were delicious. Then we went and prayed in a trailer park to call Roberth. He is just so awesome. We taught him about the restoration and he understood it pretty well. Then we knocked some doors and found some new people to teach. Hna. Williamson got into both of them and it was awesome! After that, we made some cookies. They turned out alright and we went to dinner with the Lynch family. Sister Lynch cut my hair real quick before dinner. Then we ate pot roast, potatoes and gravy, this pretty good salad (I liked the sugar coated nuts), and carrots. I love when we have meals like this. For the thought we played a game. Everyone got a paper and they drew the shape of their face. Then we pass the paper and the next person draws an eye, pass it again and they other eye, until you finish the whole face and have some accessories. The pictures came out pretty ugly. We read 1 Samuel 16:7. Heavenly Father looks on the inside and not the outside. We need to not judge people on the way they look but be charitable to everyone. Then we ended the night by teaching English class.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">On Wednesday, we went and had lunch with Margaret. She took us to the Crazy Crab. I got fish and chips. The fish was a giant piece. During lunch, Margaret found out about my experience with going home and said it touched her a lot. She said I changed her and helped her. It was neat hearing that from her. She is just the sweetest. Afterwards, we visited a tienda and talked to a lot of people. Then we had a lesson with Nicol. She made us this yummy lime layered dessert. It has this lime spread and then cookies. We read the Book of Mormon with her and she told us that she was going to try and come to church. It was funny because she said she got off Sunday because someone invited her to church. I thought, "who else invited her to church?" Then it dawned on me that it was just us. On the way to the church, we called Obert. He is super awesome. We taught him about the Great Apostasy. He was a little confused and it didn't help that the phone kept cutting out. At the church, we planned a little more for the MTC activity with the elders. After that, we called Jose Ramos. We found out that he is married to Elia. We didn't know for sure, but now we do! He agrees with the Law of Chastity and wants to learn more about temples. We are hoping that they will start progress as a family. Right after that, we had lesson with Deblin, Erik, and Richard. They liked the idea of the Book of Mormon at first and then started to bash a tiny bit. We just bore our testimonies and find out the truth of it for themselves through study and prayer. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">A lot of our lessons fell through Thursday morning. But, we had a great video call with Roberth. We introduced the Book of Mormon to him. We asked to read the introduction and he said he already had. Then I remembered he picked up my Book of Mormon in church and had read it. By then we had already sent him the link. We asked him to read the last 2 paragraphs and he read the whole thing! He told us that he is going to read the whole book when he gets back from Florida. After that, we went into the tienda and talked to some people. This lady has this smoothie, ice cream booth and she gave us a free Mango smoothie with spicy stuff in it. She is so nice and knows member of the church. We are going to go visit her again. Then we had dinner with Rafael. We went to the Nuevo Vallarta again! And we sat in the exact same booth! He told us that he will be getting a calling soon and we are super excited for him. He also keeps bringing up how he wants to eat my goats at home. I keep telling him no and that they are my pets. Now he just thinks it is hilarious. Afterwards, we went and visited Belkis. She is just super busy all the time and isn't really keeping commitments. We are going to let the elders teach her because they are on the Island more often. Then we taught English class and had a call with Bryan. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">We planned for our upcoming week on Friday pretty quickly and set off on a road trip to Savannah, Georgia. We hadn't found really anyone new to teach this week, so we made a goal to find 8 new people. On the way we called Charles. We met him last week. When we got to where we were going it was a gated apartment complex. As we were driving to the entrance, we said God will let us in and the gates were open. We knocked on the door and there was no answer. Asked the neighbors if they lived there and they said no. Went to another door, and thought maybe we should look at the address again. We had knocked on the wrong door, so we found the right one. Hna. Guerrero opened the door. Turns out it was her daughter's apartment and she was watching her grandson. We shared a message with them and then thought, she can take Obert to church. He is the building right across the street. She gave us a quesadilla to go and said she would do it! We knocked on Obert's door and a lady answered. We explained what was going on and asked to come in. She said no (caught Hna. Williamson and I off guard) and said just kidding pasen. Obert was running late and told us to not leave. So we started to teach Ofelia. Obert arrived and brought his friend Pedro Batman. It really is his last name (At church I kept telling people he really is Batman. It was pretty funny. A last name I will never forget.) They were so engaged in the lesson and gave us their full attention. The spirit was super strong. We are going back next Friday and Pedro is going to join in on the calls we have with Obert. Then we drove back up to Hardeeville. We talked to a ton of people in a tienda and bought delicious ice cream. We went to visit an address we had already visited before. So we drove up a different road and saw a work van parked by a house. We thought, someone Spanish probably lives here. Then we saw the family next door in their backyard. We knocked, no one answered, so we went to go talk to the family. Their little girl ran and opened the front door and told us to come in. We shared a message with them and got to know them. They are going through a hard time and the gospel is just going to help them sooo much! The mom thanked us for coming and we told her that God sent us because we originally were going to stay in Georgia for longer but felt like we needed to go somewhere else. Then we went and visited Jonas. His friend Erlin came over and wants to learn too! We taught them some of the plan of salvation. On the way home we called this guy Jose Sanchez. He wants to start coming back to church and learn as well. In the end, we found 9 new people to teach. Heavenly Father really does answer our prayers. He leads us and guides us in the things that we do, we only need to ask Him.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Saturday morning, we went and visited Astrid. She wasn't there, but the rest of her family was. They invited us to sit down for breakfast. We had this egg, bacon, sausage, salsa, and chicharrón mix. It didn't look good, but tasted good. They want to start coming back to church and are really a sweet family. After lunch, we went and visited some tiendas and handed out English class cards. Then we had a lesson with Robert. We taught him about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Then we drove out to Hardeeville to visit this one family. Their kids are so cute. Hopefully they will progress. Afterwards, we went to go contact some English people. One door didn't answer, so we started talking about how Heavenly Father is going to put English people in our path that are ready for the gospel. We got to the next house and a man and a kid were outside. We started getting to know them and asked for Barbara. Then the son Mike (around 12-13) said, "Give me one second. I'll go see if she is ready for you." Hna. Williamson and I look at each other thinking what is going on. We've never met this lady before, and she hadn't really met the missionaries. He came out and said, " She's ready. You can come right in." We didn't know what to do, so we followed him inside and went into the room. She said, "What are we going to do today?" finally sees us and goes, "You aren't my PT (physical therapist)." We then tell her the whole story of what had happened and how we are missionaries. She told us that she broke 3 ribs and hurt her back. She has been through so much and is still fighting through it all. We are going back next Saturday to see her. She said she can't promise long term studies, but wait til she bears what we have to tell her. When we came out of the house, her son-in-law asked us what exercises we did with her. We explained again what happened, and he didn't get mad. He told us that he tries to share the gospel with others and when they don't accept it he prays for them. We are hoping that we can start teaching this whole family! That experience was one I had never experienced before. For dinner, we went out to eat with Jose Ramos, his family, and Brother Clive. It was awesome. We have a much better relationship with Elia now. She told us she had questions about what we do and why we decided to come out here. We were able to explain and Bro. Clive said just the right things. We talked about sacrifice and how it brings blessings. Then we drove to our second dinner. Efrain was having his birthday party. We ate posule and got even more stuffed. They had pig and chicken feet too. I wanted to try it so I can say I ate it, but I knew I would've thrown that up. We invited his friends to come to church. We realized he put us in the dining room away from all the people that were drinking, and we ate with Pedro and Alejandro. It was really nice of him.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Yesterday was pretty fun. The English ward talked about how the gospel is simple, and it really is. In the Spanish Branch they talked about Relief Society and the importance of it. Every hymn was sung by them (including Hna. Williamson and I) in front of everyone. Obert, Pedro, Roberto, and Cristian came. We were so happy when we saw Obert and Pedro because it was a legit miracle that brought them. After church, we had a linger-longer that was themed on Relief Society. We ate pretty good food, had dessert, and talked. After church, we went and visited the Quirinos. They are a super sweet family that hasn't been to church for a little while. The kids are crazy but hilarious. We are going to watch General Conference with them. Afterwards, we had a really good lesson with Nicol and Jesús. Jssus wasn't there when we taught the restoration, so we went over it again. They really liked the first vision part. We invited them to pray about all of it. Something cool is, Nicol like to press and preserve flowers like me. I'm going to bring her some for a project she is doing. Then we had a couple lessons fall through, so we went home for dinner. It was nice to sit and just eat guacamole for a couple minutes. Then we went and saw Bryan in person for the first time ever. He is super nice and really has a desire to find the truth. We invited him to pray about the experience of Joseph Smith. After that, we went and saw Ezequiel with Rafael. We talked about the plan of salvation. Little by little Rafael and him are going to become best friends! </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">I had taken a little break over the last couple weeks from reading Jesus the Christ to read El Milagro del Perdón. Now I am reading both of them at the same time. They are super great books. What I was reading in Jesus the Christ really stood out to me yesterday. Jesus Christ was rejected by the city that he grew up in. He is our Savior and Redeemer, but they couldn’t think more of him than just a carpenter. They saw him healing people and working miracles, but they still wouldn’t believe. It still ceases to shock me how many people won’t accept the gospel and make changes to have a better life. Then I think about Jesus Christ, even people were rejecting him. I shouldn’t get down on myself, and think there was something better I could’ve done. We have to be optimistic and pray that maybe they will accept it in the future.</span></span></p></div><div dir="auto" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="border: 0px;

We got together at a district and ate at this member's house. They fed us these giant hot dogs, chocolate cake, and lots of other things. After that, we had originally planned to go mini golfing but it was closed. So we went bowling instead!! I actually got over 100 and a couple of strikes. We visited a lot of closed doors later. It was funny because the people wouldn’t answer, they would just talk through the door. The last door opened and it was an American guy. He let us in and told us his life story. Then asked us why we were still there. Hna. Williamson and Stewart weren’t too happy. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Tuesday we had DCM. The elders drove to the wrong city 35 minutes away. It was hilarious. We video called with them until they got there. For lunch, we bought a giant pizza. It cost $30!! It was really good though. Half was garlic butter, chicken, and spinach. The other half was chipotle ranch, chicken, and bacon. Afterwards, we went and surprised Pedro with a visit. His face was priceless! He made us some fried platano with sugar on top. Then we went and visited Pat and Roy. We were very bold with them and taught them the restoration. It is really odd because I have an easier time being bold in Spanish than I do in English. They didn’t bash us this time. We left them with the invitation to read the Book of Mormon. We aren’t going back because they aren’t ready. Right after, we had pretty much the same lesson with Justin and Hannah. They didn’t bash us as much this time. Hopefully they will be more open in the future. For dinner, we went over to the Lynch’s house. They are super nice and rich. You would never know it about the money. They fed us American food!! We had ribs, baked potatoes, carrotes/broccoli, bread, and dessert. It was super good!! I ate way too much (a theme for this week). The elders gave the thought. They drew person and wrote good things we do in it like: read the scriptures, pray, church, serve, and more etc. Then they took a red pen and wrote bad things and sins we commit. They talked about how the atonement cleanses us. They took a lighter and heated up the parts with red. It didn’t burn the paper, but the red ink disappeared. There was still faint writing if you looked close. We will sin in our lives but if we repent the Atonement of Jesus Christ can cleanse us. We will still remember the things that we did, but we will have no guilt or stain on us. We rushed to the church and taught English class. I taught the super advanced one with two students Rafael and Elisandro. After class, we had a conversation/lesson with Roberto. He is having a hard time accepting one of the things that we taught him. Please pray for him that he can recieve his answer about it.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Wednesday, we went and practiced again for our musical number. Then we went out to lunch with the elders. We invited Aurelio to come too! He is just the sweetest thing ever. He is so kind and humble. He bought us food and pan dulce. I got a chalupa and tostada. We taught him about the law of chastity and he said he would keep it! After that most of our lessons canceled or people didn’t answer the door. We did meet a really nice guy on the street who wants to learn more. Then we went and visited this one house. The mom doesn’t really like us (the Hermanas from a little while ago). We got there and this guy said we could go in. We went in and met this other guy named Cody (the lady’s nephew). He is awesome! He is from the Canan Islands and has been here for three weeks. Our day lined up perfectly for how we met him. He wants to come to church with us and become closer to God. Through him we will be able to repare the relationship with his Aunt. For dinner, we went out to eat with the Freemans. They took us to this Japanese Hibachi restaurant. It was cool watching the guy cooking it in front of us. He all of a sudden picked up this bottle and tells Hna. Stewart to open her mouth. Then he starts spraying it in her mouth. Then in Hna. Williamson’s and mine. It was unexpected and it splashed all over me. I’m pretty sure that it was pink lemonade. Bro. Freeman’s wife has Alzheimers, so it is reminding me a lot of Bro. Bright in my last area. He is doing pretty good, and helps her out so much. He showed us this video clip called “Why can’t Mormons give flowers?” from this show called Cheers. You should look it up because it was pretty funny. After that, we went over and saw Ezequiel, Andres, and David. David disappeared and came back with his friend Sergio. We sang all together and then read the Book of Mormon. Ezequiel then pulls out dinner for us… our second dinner. He fed us soup. The other day I told him I liked Sopes and he thought I said Sopa. We are very greatful it was soup because sopes are a lot more filling. He told us that he really appreciates our friendship with him and enjoys our visits.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Thursday, we went over to Pedro’s house for lunch. He made us tacos. They were delicious. He also gave us chocolate. Our lesson was all over the place, but now we know what he needs to be taught. Then we stopped by this part member family house. They didn’t let us in but obviously could hear their dog barking at us. Then a lady came up and they opened the door, so they invited us in. They are super nice, and the son Mauricio is just adorable. Afterwards, we had a lesson with Belkis and Katherin. We taught them about baptism and they are going to prepare to be baptized on April 5th!! We are so excited for them! Then we sang to another lady and we are going back to teach her. For dinner, we went to the Durrant’s house. They fed us take out from Jim-N-Rick’s BBQ. It was really good. I haven’t had it since last year in Charleston. Their daughter’s friend London is getting taught by the elders. She has to wait a year to get baptized, but I can’t wait until it happens. Then we taught English Class. Belkis and her family came to it! As we were driving home we had a great lesson with this guy named Eduardo. He is friends with Efrain and he really wants to come to church.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We went out for lunch with Margaret on Friday. We went to Panera and I got a pizza. This lady knows how to tell good stories. She had us on the edge of our seats as she told us some things that happened in her life. I could listen to her tell stories all the time. It is cute becuase she memorizes the reference of the scriptures that missionaries share with her. Then she writes them in her journal. After that, we had a phone call lesson with Alejandro. He introduced us to his friend Juan and now we are going to teach both of them. They really want to come to church. Then we called Aurelio and taught him about tithing and fasting. He said he would pray about it. (He told Hna. Stewart on Sunday that he is okay with it!) Right after that, we called Cody. It is so fun to hear him talk. He speaks English pretty good. His accent is like British, Jamaican, and sometimes Irish all mixed together. He has been through a lot of hard things in his life. But he doesn’t want to give up. After that, we planned for our upcoming week. For a late dinner, we went out with Rafael. I got a mini chimichanga and sope. It was really good. We saw the elders there with Roberto so that was a surprise. Rafael is just thriving in the gospel. To end the night, we called the other Alejandro that we are teaching. He wants to come to church too!</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Saturday, we went out to lunch with some people that came to visit Hna. Stewart from Columbia. They are from Honduras, so we went to a Honduranian restaurant. I finally had Baleadas for the first time. It is a tortilla folded in half filled with eggs, beans, crema, avocados, and meat. It was super good. I can’t wait to try one that is homemade. Later, as we were visiting some people we thought that we saw an alligator… it was fake. It looked so real from far away. At another house this dog came to us while Hna. Stewart was tromping out in the woods. We were asking it to do things in English but it wasn’t listening, so we started speaking Spanish. It listened right away. We found out that the owners speak English, but we still think that the dog is bilingual. For dinner, we went and ate with the Clives. They are a super awesome family. Brother Clive is in our branch presidency. He served his mission in Argentina and is from Washington. They fed us tostadas that were delicious. We showed the kids the impossible fold and they loved it (Too hard to explain in words.) After that, we went and visited Efrain. He is reading a little of the Book of Mormon! He is also inviting all of his friends to come to church. It is so cute. He gave Hna. Williamson a necklace the other day and me a ring. He told me that he has one more thing to get for Hna. Stewart. We are reteaching him everything and helping him come back. Then we sang to this lady and we are going back to teach her.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Yesterday was awesome! We went to church and sang. It went really well. One of the speakers couldn’t speak, so we were asked to bear our testimony. I have a hard time bearing my testimony in English so Spanish is harder. I was given the things that I needed to say. Then we sang again but all in Spanish. Hna. Stewart played for the elders and us. It went well even though we didn’t practice. Roberto, Donovan, Alejandro, Efrain, Elisandro, Cristian, and Jose Manuel all came. Afterwards, we went and sang to some people. One of the guys we visited teased me and called me Hermana Lyer instead of Hermana Lott. It was pretty funny.Then we went to Pedro’s house. He gave us some dried Mango and we proceeded to teach him about the Great Apostasy. We used cupstoration to do that. You build a tower out of cups. The bottom four represent a prophet, 12 apostles, the priesthood, and revelation. Then you build a tower/pyramid. We explained that when all the apostles were killed we lost the priesthood power was taken from the earth. Then we knocked over the tower and he was shocked. He was not expecting us to knock it over. We told him that the church fell without it’s foundation. But God loves us so he will call another prophet. We had dinner with this hilarious couple, Bob and Bev. They are in their 80s and you would never know it. They live right along the beach in an aparment complex. They fed us lasagna with spaghetti noodles, salad, and ice cream. We got to hear their whole life story. They joined the church in Hawaii. It changed their life and they are so much happier now. It is harder to live the gospel but it brings so much more blessings. We sang “I Believe in Christ” with them and the spirit was so strong. After that, we went over to Jonas’s house. We taught him about service. Right as we were about to leave, he looked at me and told me that I am too tall and that he doesn’t like it. Then he wanted to compare with me. We are pretty much the same. I told him I wear high heels at home and he was shocked thinking about me being even taller. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Two things that have really stood out to me this past week is one the power of music. We sing a lot out here. When we meet people, we ask them if we can sing a song. There is a difference in the person after we sing it. Singing hymns brings the spirit. It openes doors and hearts. A lot of people are letting us in because we sang to them. The second thing is leaving something behind. As missionaries we ask people to leave a lot of things behind. I told one of the people we are teaching that I would go without chocolate for a week plus if he would stop doing something. He told me that he was going to do it, but that I didn’t have to. I decided that I wanted to do it anyway. The first day I broke it. I ate that chocolate cake on Monday and then some robin eggs. As I was eating the eggs I realized it, and my heart dropped. I told myself that I would start over again. People have offered me so much chocolate this week. I have watched my companions eat it. I have wanted to eat it so bad at times, and others not so much. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to leave an acutal addiction behind. Living the gospel requires a lot, but it is worth it. The things that we give up seem so big, but in the perspective of eternal life it is so little. Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ can give us the strength to overcome the things that are holding us back in this life. (Phillipians 4:13)</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

We didn't do too much. We went to the mall and ate some free cookies. It was nice to have a slow day. For dinner, we went to the Ayala's house and the elders came too. They fed us red mole with chicken, rice and beans. It was really good. I am just waiting for someone to make green mole. Hermana Ayala talked about her son who is on his mission. For dessert they gave us pan dulce and hot chocolate. I drank milk instead. I heard Elder Forsberg ask if the bread was filling, so I asked him if he was full. He looked at me very confused. Apparently he asked if the bread had filling, not if it was filling😂. They will not let me live that one down. Elder Navarrete was telling a story and in it he left lloviendo… he meant to say crying (llorando). </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Tuesday it was interesting because we didn't have DCM. We went out for breakfast with Pedro. It was his birthday!! I got French toast with fruit. It was super good and filling. Then right after, we went and had lunch with Astrid. We were still full and had to eat another giant plate full of food. It was really good, but we were stuffed. I shared a scripture with her and she told me that another missionary shared that with her a couple years ago. She said it was just what she needed then and what she needed now. After that, we went and had a lesson with Cody. We taught him about God. He was super surprised to hear that God has a body of flesh and bones that is perfect. We started teaching him about prophets when he asked us where we go after this life. We switched course and taught him a very simple version of the plan of salvation. We called Aurelio and he told us that he isn’t sure about baptism. That was really hard, but we are going to have the faith that everything will work out. We raced to where he worked and left him a note and some chocolate. We doorbell ditched without a doorbell. We arrived just on time for dinner with the Lynch family. They fed us chicken, bread, funeral potatoes, and vegetables. It was delicious! Always a good change from what we normally eat. Then we went and taught english class. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Wednesday was a pretty special day. We had a Mission Conference! Elder Idgukitus (totally can’t spell his last name) came to speak to us. He is from Brazil, but speaks pretty good English. He is hilarious, but is just so powerful. We received great instruction from him, his wife, President Monson, and Sister Monson. We need to love God more than anything else. If we love him we will obey Him and keep his commandments. We should have no desire except the eternal welfare of our souls and all others. Elder Idgukitus showed us different ways to find more people to teach. I took a ton of notes. Then we went on exchanges!! I stayed in our area and Hna. Bennion & Roth came to join me. We went and visited this part member family. The mom was making this HOT salsa. We were all coughing because the air was spicy. After that we visited Fani and her family. We were totally caught off guard when she told us her 10 yr. old son wants to get baptized. We did a really cool object lesson. We dented a can with our finger. Hard to explain… I have a video but it is too big to send. As we were leaving she said she had food for us. We didn’t have time to stay so she gave us a pizza to go. Then we wanted to go visit Aurelio. He told us that he wanted to push his baptism back. We called and he was in the same area! He was visiting and riding his bike around. We drove over and met him at the dock. It was gorgeous! The sun was setting, and we ate the pizza while we talked to him. We promised him that God would give him his answer. On the way to dinner we called Cristian. There wasn't great signal so we rescheduled. There were trees in Greenville too, but it didn't affect our calls. These trees down here are weird. We had dinner with Sergio and his twin brother Lee. We had tacos per usual. We celebrated their birthday! We had ward coordination and right after that visited Ezequiel. Then we had a call with Alan and afterwards with Alejandro and Juan. Of course one of them wasn't wearing a shirt. I don't get why people don't wear shirts. If you are answering the door or a video call why aren't you dressed?🤦♀️</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We went and taught Maria Thursday morning about the commandments. Later we had a lesson with Cody and we met his mom Kimberly. She is so nice and sweet. I absolutely love her. We were able to talk about Jesus Christ and the things that we can do to follow him. Kim invited us to come visit her at work. She works on the Marine base in the store. Which worked out awesome because we were going to the base the next day. After that, we saw Belkis and her family. They are so adorable. We taught them about the plan of salvation. Then we were able to meet Tami. She has been taught for a while. We asked her if she had a Book of Mormon. She has five!! She loves reading it. We are excited to teach her and see how that goes. For dinner, we were able to eat at home!! Kind of nice to lay on the floor and eat some snacks. Before English class we had a lesson with Cristian. He has a lot of questions and wants to learn. After English class was over we drove out to meet the STLs. Then we gave Hna. Stewart to them and we got Sister Bailey. On the way home, we called Rafael and Aurelio. Aurelio didn't answer so we talked with Rafael about the priesthood. He loves it so much!!</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Friday, we spent a lot of the day at a Marine Graduation. We got invited by Elder and Sister Reynolds. So we went with Sister Bailey while Hna. Stewart was in Columbia. It was super cool! Six of the Marines graduating were members of the branch in Beaufort. It started at 9 and ended at around 11am. The sun was on us and it was hot. I thought I was going to sunburn my back and shoulder. Now I have a funky looking tan line on just the right side of my back. As we watched the Marines as they marched it was cool because they were in sync. When it was over we had a reception for them and we ate cupcakes. For lunch, we at at the officers club. I got green Thai curry. It was delicious. It also had bambou in it. Now I have had cactus and bambou! We went and saw some sights and then stopped by the exchange. It is a store on base. We went and visit Kim. She was really excited to see us. Sister Bailey and I bought matching shirts that say “Semper Fideles” or in Spanish “Siempre Fieles” which translates to always faithful. After that, we went and had a lesson with Monica. Then we had dinner with the Bejars. They fed us fancy homemade chicken nuggets and soup. They must really like us because they keep asking us to come back. Right after that we went and visited Carlos. They were about to start drinking in the backyard. We talked and shared a scripture. They said we could come back the next day. As I turned around I felt a crunch underneath my shoe and something wet touch my leg. I look down and this beer can is erupting all over me. I got on the bottom of my dress, my leg, and in my shoe. Then I hear the guys say, “Tocó el diablo." I touched the devil. Needless to say I smelled like beer, was wet the rest of the night, and my foot hurt. We joked about how I broke the Word of Wisdom through absorbtion. We went and got Hna. Stewart and drove to Aurelio’s house. Before we went in, we called a guy named Marcelo. He is really nice and wants to find the truth. It was really good that we went and visited Aurelio because he told us that he was going to smoke. We told him that we hadn’t planned on visiting him. A guy from English class named Juan was there too. It was hilarious. He was there remodeling Aurelio’s bathroom. We were able to teach both of them. It was a great way to end our day. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Saturday morning we had a call with Miguel Velazquez and then we planned for our week. We went out for lunch with Rafael and got tacos. This taco place is really good. While we were eating he made a joke and said, "Cincuenta -> sin cuenta no puede contarlo (you can't count it)." Rafael is the best. He is so excited to get the priesthood and help others. Whenever I see him it makes my day. After that, we went and visited Cody. They were about to have a party so we rescheduled. Then we met this lady named Janice. She is hilarious! After that, we had a long but really good lesson with Carlos and Ignacio. They started asking us some dumb questions to throw us off, but changed to actual questions. They were so surprised that it talks about apostasies and the restoration in the Bible. We able to get some understanding across. The rest of the night our lessons started falling through or the people weren’t home. We met a member who hasn't been in a while she was very nice. To end the night, we called German. Hna. Williamson and Stewart think that he is the most adorable thing ever. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yesterday was absolutely crazy. We went to choir practice and then sacrament meeting. Straight after we went to the Spanish relief society meeting. Sadly the lesson was more of a war. The ladies just had hurt feelings and you could feel it. That makes me so sad. I hope that they will be able to forgive, heal, and forget. The talk we read was called Trust Again by Elder Gong. It said, "He asks us to keep the light on for each other, to be more forgiving and less judgmental of ourselves and each other." I like that it says be less judgmental of ourselves. The second great commandment is, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." How can we love one another if we don't even love ourselves? I am working on this and trying to change my mindset from being too critical of myself to wanting to change but being kind to myself. It is going to be a process that I can't do alone. Learning to love ourselves requires help from our Heavenly Father. He knows who we truly are and He can help us see it. Here is the link to the talk and you should all read it! </span><a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2021/10/51gong?lang=eng" id="LPlnk269862" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2021/10/51gong?lang=eng</span></a></span></p><div class="LPBorder453728" id="LPBorder_GTaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2h1cmNob2ZqZXN1c2NocmlzdC5vcmcvc3R1ZHkvZ2VuZXJhbC1jb25mZXJlbmNlLzIwMjEvMTAvNTFnb25nP2xhbmc9ZW5n" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 16px 0px; max-width: 800px; min-width: 424px; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; width: 800px;"><table id="LPContainer453728" role="presentation" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-color: rgb(200, 200, 200); border-radius: 2px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; font: inherit; padding: 12px; width: 800px;"><tbody><tr style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-spacing: 0px;" valign="top"><td style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><div id="LPImageContainer453728" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; height: 135px; margin: 0px 12px 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; width: 240px;"><a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2021/10/51gong?lang=eng" id="LPImageAnchor453728" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><img alt="" height="135" id="LPThumbnailImageId453728" src="https://assets.ldscdn.org/47/b7/47b77be4e11bc35202dc5559201fb8eb5d57bf07/47b77be4e11bc35202dc5559201fb8eb5d57bf07.jpeg" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="240" /></span></a></div></td><td style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; width: 512.614px;"><div id="LPTitle453728" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_light, "Segoe UI Light", "Segoe WP Light", "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 8px 12px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2021/10/51gong?lang=eng" id="LPUrlAnchor453728" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Trust Again</span></a></div><div id="LPDescription453728" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 8px 12px 0px; max-height: 100px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Notes.

Sergio, Efrain, Eduardo, Roberto, and Aurelio came (German and two of his friends just went to the class before). Rafael gave his talk even though he thought it was next week. He did really well. He talked about the will of the Lord. The last talk was Sister Clive. She talked about how we need to have faith, persevere, and have patience. She talked about a study that was done with children and marshmallows. It was to see how long they could wait before eating it. They put it on a plate in front of them. Aurelio said that it would be chocolate for me😂. Later we went and visited Efrain and Eduardo! We taught them about baptism and the plan of salvation. We invited Eduardo to be baptized and he said he would pray about it. Then we ate pizza with them. Apparently Efrain called Jorge in Charleston to help them order pizza. After that we made our trek up into Ridgeland. We were lost for 30+ minutes trying to find this house. Hna. Williamson was driving and we went down this sketchy road in the forest. She didn’t want to drive anymore, so we switched without getting out of the car. I almost got us stuck in the mud, I turned the car around, and drove us back. A man started to come up to the car and Hna. Stewart screamed. She grabbed my arm and we all screamed. I revved the car and sped away from him. Finally, google maps worked and we found the house. They are super nice. They told us some stories that didn’t help with the mood. We are going to help fix some things that were caused in the past. Then we went to go find another house. We get there and I am grabbing my purse and Hna. Williamson’s to go up to the porch. All of a sudden, I hear this growling. A pitbull comes out of the dark scaring the crap out of me. I kept Hna. Williamson’s purse out in front of me. She told me she had a dog whistle in it, so I was scrambling to find it without getting attacked. I also forgot to say it was raining and we were in the middle of nowhere. I found it and blew hard right as the door opened. The lady let us in and I about died. We set up a better time and left as a girl held the dogs back. Yesterday was a good day, just not a good night. I was soooo glad when we got home and for the feeling of safety.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Well, I love you all!!

I started reading "The Miracle of Forgiveness" by Spencer W. Kimball in Spanish. That was the only copy that there was. It has been really interesting. Repentance is for everyone. It is for the people who are sinning and far from God, and for the people who are going to church and keeping the commandments. The Atonement is for everyone. I found the talk "We can do better and be better" by President Nelson. I loved this part that said, "The word for repentance in the Greek New Testament is metanoeo. The prefix meta- means 'change.' The suffix -noeo is related to Greek words that mean 'mind,' 'knowledge,' 'spirit,' and 'breath.' Thus, when Jesus asks you and me to 'repent, He is inviting us to change our mind, our knowledge, our spirit—even the way we breathe. He is asking us to change the way we love, think, serve, spend our time, treat our wives, teach our children, and even care for our bodies." Here is the link to the talk. I just wanted to invite you all to read it. Repentance is real and love changing. We just have to act upon it.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

Monday was pretty slow, so here’s what happened on Tuesday. We had DCM over zoom. We were still in quarantine until later that day. We talked about the importance of planning and setting goals. Doing this will affect us for the rest of our lives. I am still getting the hang of goals. It is easy to set them but not so much to accomplish them. Then we had a great video call lesson with David. We taught him about sacrifice. Sometimes we are asked to make sacrifices in our lives. For example: time, money, energy, worldly things and more, etc. It isn’t easy and it wasn’t meant to be. I was reading something a little while ago and it said to think of sacrifice as losing something, but as giving and sharing. Afterwards, we went shopping. We couldn’ t on pday because we were stuck at home. It took forever to find all the sugar free, gluten free, and lactose free food for Hna. Marvin. Shopping for that is hard and expensive. We had to cancel English class because the roads were icy and dangerous. </span></p><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Wednesday, we had a video call with Santiago. We taught him about the first part of the Plan of Salvation. He is just the best. He told us that he lost his job and might have to move! That made us super sad and we decided that wasn't going to happen. We set off to find him someone who knew what places were hiring and said lots of prayers. Then I taught Mia how to write over a video call. It is much easier in person. She was getting better by the end. After that, we had a lesson with Bella. First one in person since the beginning of December. We retaught her the whole restoration. She now has a better understanding of it. We asked her what she hopes for from meeting with us and she told us a big change in her life! Afterwards we had a lesson with Israel. We retaught him about the restoration but with more simple terms. It is going to take a little for him to understand it. It will happen because he has such a desire to learn. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We went and visited Johany on Thursday. She was watching these two little girls who were adorable named Elsa and Ana. I wanted to take Elsa home with us (not literally). She was fascinated by my tag and played with it throughout the whole lesson. Then we drove to the Mejias for dinner. On the way, we called Faylita. She was nice and said she has been wanting to learn more about Christ for a long time. The Mejias fed us the meatball soup again, perfect for the cold weather. They are sweet and are going to help us out with some families we are teaching. Finally, some people showed up to English class! It was Daniel and his friend Moises. Hopefully more people will start coming.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Friday was a good day even though we visited a lot of people and they weren’t there. We even had made cookies to give to them, so we left them on their porch. Or they were there and didn’t want to let us in. It was funny, this lady didn’t want to let us in because of the cold, so we stood on her porch in the cold while we talked to her. It started snowing again!! It didn’t stay for very long. Some other lessons fell through, but we got in contact again with Maria from the Pulga. She wants to start having calls with us more often!</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We had a lesson with Bella on Saturday. We retaught her the first part of the Plan of Salvation. She is super happy that we will all be resurrected and that her husband won’t be reincarnated. She can’t wait to learn the rest about it. Dobby started licking my scriptures during the prayer. We are told to feast upon the scriptures, but not to literally eat them. We couldn’t stop laughing. Later, we went to the Pulga. Sadly, it was all done, but we gave this guy named Kevin a soda. He told us he used to go to our church sometimes when he was little with his dad. We are going to give him a call sometime. Then we went to go to David and Doris’s house. (Here is some context: About 2 months ago we went to this address we had. We really felt like we needed to visit them, but it was a gated apartment complex. We had no way to get it. We thought about following another car in, but no one was coming. We prayed that if we were supposed to get in that a car would come and give us enough time. A couple seconds later a car went in and we were able to get in. We knocked the door and there was no answer, so we called them and left a note. The next day we got a call… from David!! He asked us when we could come over. It took 2 months for Doris to get back from a work trip and for them to answer our call again.) It took us about 30 minutes to find their actual apartment because they had moved to a different room. They are super awesome! David is from Puerto Rico and Doris is from Colombia. They fed us arepas with chicken and buñuelos (little cheese bread balls). They have so many questions about the gospel and the world. It is going to be an adventure teaching them. Later, we had a zoom call with the other sisters in our zone. We got new ideas for how to plan our days and weeks better. After that, we called David. It is frustrating because Satan won’t give up and leave him alone, but we won’t either.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Yesterday was crazy awesome!! We went to a really early meeting and it about killed me. Early mornings and I aren’t friends. We gave some people some wake-up calls so they would come to church. Daniel, Bella, Johany, Josue, Israel, and Santiago and his friend Leonardo all came to church! I translated for sacrament meeting and it went really well. I was able to find the scriptures used and it was all about the plan of salvation. We recently got the Priesthood meeting in all Spanish too! Funny story: I was thinking that Israel and Leonardo were friends because of their body language. The confusing thing was Santiago is his roommate and invited him. I asked them, and Leonardo and Israel grew up in the same place in Guatemala, so I was right. We are teaching 3 friends that all reached out to the Spanish facebook page to be taught about how to get more peace. It was cool to find that out. Right after church, we drove up to visit Esteban. We couldn't find him, but we found Bambii!! He's gotten so big! I pet him and he loved it. I just love domesticated deers. A few phone calls later and we found out Esteban was there but couldn't get to the door. We went in with permission and he was laying down looking so tiny. He didn't look good. He told us that he can't walk and hurts all over. Tears came to my eyes seeing him like this. He never did get baptized, but I still love him and care for him. He told us that he is dying and isn't scared, but that he isn't giving up yet. He said he had been telling Hna. Rosas that he missed LaLa (me). We said a prayer with him and told him we would pray for him and send him things to watch. Later, we went and had a lesson with Daniel in a park. We were late because we got stuck behind this giant train. It had 160 cars and 3 engines. We arrived and it was freezing, but worth it. We got to watch a cool giant kite, and teach him the Word of Wisdom. As we were driving home, we saw Natali’s car at her business. She was there! We talked to her and set up another lesson. She told us how missionaries always find her no matter where she is. Then we taught Johany and her family about the Law of Chastity. Her and Emilio really want to get married. Who knows, if I stay here, I might get to help plan a wedding. After that, we went over to Arlen’s house. The Ramirez family was there too! We are all going to have dinner together this Friday. Hna. Ramirez’s puppy just had puppies (was not planned) and I’m so excited! We got home and then proceeded to have lessons for another 2 ½ hours. We called Maria and she is doing great. She is really warming up to us and about learning. Then we called Leonardo. We taught him about prophets and he loved it. He said the closing prayer in his dialect. Hna. Marvin said it sounds like the Spanish language and Chinese language had a baby. I understood about two words, but it was awesome. You could tell he was praying from his heart. To end the night, we called Santiago. We taught him about the Law of Chastity too! He thinks that it is really cool and said it would be a pleasure to follow it. In our calls we have an inside joke… his nose. In one lesson he said that he has the nose of his ancestors, the Mayans. So now he says, “la nariz de mis ancestros está feliz,” and touches his nose. Also, he found a job!! Miracles do happen! Hno. and Hna. Ramirez helped him out with that! As Hna. Marvin would say, “They are the gemy gems of the gemmiest gems!”</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">I was reading the Book of Mormon in Helaman 11 the other day and it really hit me. The people were being really wicked and disregarding the commandments and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They was a division between them and they started to fight and kill each other. Nephi prayed that they would stop killing each other and that a famine fell upon the land. People started dying from hunger instead of the sword. While they were perishing they started to remember the Lord their God. They asked Nephi to pray that the famine would go away. In verse 17 it says, “And it came to pass in the seventy and sixth year the Lord did turn away his anger from the people, and caused that rain should fall upon the earth…” The people became righteous again, but that only lasted for 3 years. By the 82th year they had forgotten the Lord their God again. In the 85th year they were ripening for destruction. This made me super sad reading this. Why do people do this? In less than 10 years they had become worse than before. The small and simple things really do help us out. It is easy to fall back into old habits and become like these people. It takes work to stay righteous and keep our standards. The world's standards will always be changing but the Lord's will never change. I just want to invite you all to think about something small you can do to become better and then do it. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

It has been a pretty long week since a p-day, but that’s okay. It is transfers and after 7 months out here… I’m getting transferred to Hilton Head! Guess who my companion is going to be… Hermana Stewart!! We never thought that this dream would come true. We started together and now we are going to kind of end together. We are going to be in a trio with Hermana Williamson! Trios have their perks with a lot of things. I am excited to see how this one will go and to meet new people. I’m sad that I am leaving here and the people I love, but I know it is for a reason. I will return!</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Last week on Monday we spent it at the doctors.

I hadn’t seen the text, so Hna. Marvin informed me the night before. I quickly planned it, and it went really well. We talked about using How To Begin Teaching points. They set expectations with the people we teach and what the future will bring. We linked that with loving our people and showing them that. We love them and the gospel. Christ is the best example of who we should strive to be like and teach like. Afterwards, we went and had lunch at Manny’s. It is this Italian and Greek place. I got this Pepperoni, Ham, Bacon, and Olive Calzone. It was giant and delicious. I ate way too much of it. Then we went on exchanges again! I stayed here and Hna. Marvin went to Columbia for the first time! Hna. Bennion came down and we spent the next 1 ½ days together. We went and visited Milvian, and Hna. Ramirez was able to come with us. It was amazing! They got along so well, and Hna. Ramirez can relate things to her so well from her own life. We taught her more about temples and eternal marriage. The spirit was super strong. Hna. Ramirez bore a powerful testimony about eternal families and reading the Book of Mormon. We went and taught English class and it went well. Slowly we are having more people come. Right after that we called Maria from the Pulga. The lesson went great. We are working with her slowly, but she loves studying and learning.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We had a good lesson with Natali on Wednesday and taught her about prophets and Jesus Christ establishing his church. A ton of our lessons canceled or weren’t there after that. So we stopped by some tiendas to talk to new people and spread the word about English class. For dinner, we got WingStop. I have been craving this for ages. My parents sent me a gift card and I put it to use. Then Hna. Bennion and I went to have a lesson with Doris and David. David wasn’t there, but we still had a fantastic lesson. Doris has sooo many questions and is just searching for the truth. We talked about baptism, the sacrament, the priesthood, and part of the restoration. She made us these chicken, cream, and avocado sandwiches that were pretty good. We left very full. We had a good video call with Santiago. We taught him about the premortal life. He was very grateful to learn about this and wants to know more.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Thursday morning we unexchanged. Hna. Marvin and I raced to some lessons. We went to Maria’s house and reviewed the restoration with her. Then we had a video call with the other Maria we met at the Pulga. (Sometimes it is so hard to keep track of people because they all have the same name.) We taught her about prophets and dispensations. Right after, we had a lesson with Daniel in the park. We taught him about the Law of Chastity. Hna. Marvin showed him a magic trick and it was hilarious. He was stumped for a minute and asked how she did it. Then we went to a tienda and talked to some people. We bought some pan dulce. Most of it wasn’t that great, so we threw it away. We went over to the Mejias to eat. They fed us chicken enchiladas with red and green sauce. I thought, well red will probably be hot. I ate it and my mouth was burning. I ate some of the green ones and it helped calm down the heat. Then Hna. Mejia tells us that the green one is the hot one. Hna. Marvin only had green and she said her mouth was on fire. I am as confused as you all are. Sadly no one showed up to english class, so we worked on some other things. We called this lady Stephanie and she told us pretty much her whole life story. She wants to start meeting with the missionaries and have a change in her life. We are going to have to pass her off the the English Sisters.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Friday morning, we went and had a lesson with Natali. It went good, but I felt off the whole time. We prayed and decided to visit this one address. As we were on our way a name popped into my head, Junior. We were three minutes from the house. I was thinking that we could visit it and then go, but I got the feeling to go right then. We get there, and it is not Junior. He had moved. It was this really sweet lady named Shakyla. She started asking us questions and was just fascinated that we are missionaries. She asked her to give her a little lesson and tell her the things that we believe. We did and set up another time to come by. She was so grateful. About 10 minutes after we met her, her daughter came home from school. If we would’ve waited, she might not have had the time to talk to us. It was humbling experience for me. Then we drove and visited this one house Hna. Marvin wanted to visit. His name was Johnny. We gave him a Book of Mormon and invited him to read it. We gave the English Sisters his information. Later, we had lesson with Bella. We taught her about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It took a minute for her to understand it. We also talked about the spirit world. She is so happy to know that her husband is okay there. We shared some spiritual stories about them not being to far away from us. For dinner, we went and ate with the Ramirez fam., Arlen and Israel. We ate carne asada, hot dogs, cactus, and tortillas. Cactus is a hispanic staple. The food was delicious and I couldn’t finish it all. These two families help us out all the time and it means a lot. We held their puppies! Their dog got pregnant and they don’t know who the dad is. To end the night we had a video call with Israel and Omar. Over time they are starting to understand things more. The language barrier makes it a little harder.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We bundled up to go to the Pulga Saturday morning. We were able to hand out a lot of English class cards and talk to new people. It was absolutely freezing. We bought some Boiled Peanuts to eat and attempted to keep us warm. I was wearing a coat, hat, gloves, tights, and boots, and I was still a little cold. I finally bought a giant cobija. It has different flowers on each side. It was worth the money because I have wanted one since I was in Charleston. We had some lessons fall through, so we handed out more English class cards. At this one house there was a puppy. She was cute until she bit my wrist. It only drew a tiny bit of blood, but it still hurt. I might get rabies. At this one house three men came outside to talk to me while they smoked. Hna. Marvin was on a call a couple feet away with this guy named Cesar. Apparently, he is a member, but it took him 8 minutes to tell her that. Everyone is always shocked that we speak Spanish and understand them. Then we had a lesson with Doris. It went really well. We taught her about the apostasy and the restoration. She gave us this cherry cheese and crackers. It was pretty good and tasted sweet. Afterwards, we had a Family Home Evening lesson with Johany and her family with the Ramirez family. It was awesome!! It has been really neat seeing their desire to be better people and a better family grow. As we were leaving, Josue went behind me and put Dana on my shoulders when I wasn’t looking. It was funny and he took her down pretty quickly. People just love throwing their kids at us.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Sunday morning was a bit crazy. I gave a talk about Building Zion. The lady who went before me took all of my time. I wasn’t mad. I thought it was pretty funny because I took all the time the last time I spoke. I was able to give my whole talk and it went really well. I wasn’t shaking at all, which was great!! Israel, Omar, Daniel, Hna. Huipe, and David came. Hna. Marvin did a great job translating! After church, Shakayla texted us and said that she didn’t want us to come over anymore in the future. That was a bummer. I hope that she will open up in the future. Then, we went and visited Adan. It had been ages since we had seen him. We set up the pretty good expectations and taught him about prayer. Afterwards, we had a very spiritual lesson with Daniel and Millie. We read Moroni 10:1-5 & 29-34. We explained the importance and power of the Book of Mormon. Millie bore such a powerful testimony and the spirit filled the room. Bearing testimony really does have power. Our next lesson had fallen through, so we went and visited someone nearby. Her name is Natalia and she was super nice. She remembers the missionaries and was sad they quit coming by. We got to know her better and have a lesson set up later this week. We went over to the Winter’s house for dinner. We ate tacos and they were yummy. On the way home we got a call from Cesar from the other day. He opened up to us about all the things that he is going through and we were able to help out. He is a member and lives in Beaufort all the way over next to Hilton Head. We told him that the missionaries there can help him and teach him more. (Funny thing is now I am going to be the missionary helping him.)</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Monday, we went to the doctors for Hna. Marvin. We got there and the doctor was super mean. She asked to call her mom to ask some questions and he looked at her weird. The nurse said and pointed at me, “She’s not your mom?” We said no, and that I am 20 and not 45. Either I look like a great 45 year old or a pretty bad 20 year old. To her credit, I was wearing a mask and my granny glasses as my mom says. Instead of them doing a little test, they said Hna. Marvin could schedule a time to get a piece of her tongue taken off and sent to a lab. In the end, we don’t know what happened. The good thing is Hna. Marvin went off her crazy diet. To cheer her up we went and got Cold Stone. It was really good. When I walked in, it smelled like home. Then we drove over to Luz’s house. On the way we gave out some English class cards. We read the kids Book of Mormon with Derek and Mia, and then we talked about where we came from. They needed help with Math, so I did math homework for the first time on my mission. Afterwards, we had dinner with Marla and Martin. They fed us carne asada for dinner with cactus. It was delicious. We had a great lesson with them. Hna. Marvin was super bold and asked them to not criticize each other. We invited them to pray daily as a couple. It is an important way to strengthen your bond together and the one you have with God. Just like companion prayer as missionaries. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Yesterday we had a giant DCM with our zone. It went really well. We were able to do a really good role play. We taught the second half of the restoration and really focused on Jesus Christ. He established His church with the priesthood power and apostles. We then asked if the person would have went to Christ’s church. Hopefully they say yes and then we talk about how we have the restored gospel on the earth. We invite them to come see. It is really powerful! Hna. Marvin and I got Chick-fil-a for lunch. She begged me because she hasn’t been able to eat legit anything for a month. We got everything ready for English class and printed tons of papers. We quickly organized the messy library. It was ridiculous. After that, we raced over to David’s house. He seemed different. It had seemed like he’d given up. It was very discouraging. The conversation just went down. I testified of the things that I know with all my heart to be true. All this emotion welled up inside me and spilled out. I cried because it was so hard what was happening, when people just aren’t understanding the gospel. We invited him to read the Book of Mormon and pray about what God wants him to do. When we were leaving, he gave us each a small bouquet of pink roses. It was very sweet of him. Then we had a lesson with Milvian and Hna. Ramirez. It went great! We talked about the importance of Jesus Christ and what he did. We went and had dinner with the Mellors. They fed us ham and cheese crepes. For dessert we had fruit crepes. I overindulged and ate three of them. After that, we went and taught English class. It was awesome because more people came. We had seven people, which is better than one! When it was over, we had a lesson with Daniel and Millie. We taught him about CPR. When we stop breathing, CPR helps us come back and breathe. It keeps our body alive. The acronym also stands for Church, Pray, and Read. This helps keeps our spirit living and thriving. When we stop doing these things we start to spiritually suffocate.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Sorry that was super long!!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.6667px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Les amo!

Hace mucho tiempo, pero no en realidad. It has been a crazy couple of days. I picked up 7 months of my stuff and moved all the way across the state. It took me absolutely forever to pack. It all worked out in the end. Hna. Marvin got her new companion and then I set off in my new trio. For me it was about a 5 hour drive in total. On the way to my new home we visited this lady named Maria. She is super nice and is going to have a baby next Wednesday. Dejavu? She has two little boys who are adorable. Afterwards, we visited Belkis and her family. She is from Honduras and we are teaching her family. We brought a member named Astrid and she shared a powerful testimony. Then, we met these hilarious members. They have giant dogs! His name is Roberto and he is a carpenter. We are going to go tour his shop. To end the really long day, we went to English Class. It was awesome to have a lot of people!! We teach 5 different lessons because we each teach a lesson.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Friday morning we woke up to exercise. Sadly, we don’t have a gym. We run around the golf course that we live by. It feels like I am running through the jungle and that an alligator is going to jump out. It will be different but refreshing. We went and got stuff to organize our English Class papers. Afterwards we went to visit a member and some people that lived around him. He is super nice and hopefully we will be able to help him come back to church. We walked by this house and these girls told us to get shelter from the rain. It was cute. We went back and sang them a song. They want us to come visit again. Then we had a lesson with Pedro. He is just full of so much energy! He gave us cantaloupe with spicy seasoning. It was good. We taught him the first part of the plan of salvation. He loved it! We invited him to read the pamphlet and I said straight faced if he didn't read it we wouldn't come back. He bursted out laughing. He said he would do it and he did! Pedro just has so much energy and it is contagious! For dinner, we went out to a Mexican restaurant with Christian. He is super nice and hilarious. I got a giant steak chimichanga covered in queso. It was delicious and I ate way too much. We learned kind of how to say Eine miene minee moe (don't know how to spell that) in Spanish. It was super fun. Afterwards, we went to Donovan's house. He is awesome. He wants to turn his life around. We taught him about the gospel/doctrine of Jesus Christ and invited him to be baptized. He said he is still not ready but is going to keep preparing. To end the night, we had a lesson with Jonas. He is adorable and always says, "Esta bien." He wants to be baptized but still doesn't know. We are going to keep helping him along the way.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Saturday, I wasn’t feeling super good in the morning. So my companions ran around me. We went to a baptism all the way over in North Augusta. It was a 6 ½ hour round trip. We ate lots of snacks and cracked jokes. We got a lot done while we were in the car. We got called by the mariachi guy from Friday and now we are going to teach him. He lives in Florida, so we will pass him off. The baptism was beautiful like always. A family got baptized! The parents and their little boy. We drove back and went and ate dinner with a member named Elisandro. We ate these giant Tamales. They were super good and I thought my stomach was going to blow up. They had this pineapple coconut drink that was delicious and this interesting cookie milk drink. We tried out new tongue twisters and it just isn't possible. Then we had a phone call lesson with Aurelio. He sounds super nice (he is the most adorable thing in person!). We got to this house of a guy named Efrain who is a member. He opened the door and it was a guy I knew in Charleston! He was super surprised and so was I. He isn't doing super great, but we are here to help out. I am grateful that I can keep helping him because I wasn't able to stay in Charleston. We went to go visit Roberto. We were early so we went to a gas station. I got a super cute orange SC sticker. Roberto's lesson went really well. He was the most focused he has ever been. He is super smart and loves to read. He got his answer about baptism, but wants to fix some things in himself first. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Yesterday was super awesome. We cover English and Spanish work here so we go to two sacrament meetings. It was so fun! We actually have a Spanish branch! I haven’t served in a Spanish branch in about 8-9 months! It was so great! I didn’t have to translate and I sat by our people. We had so many people come! Jonas, Roberto, Donovan, Alejandro, Sirgio, Aurelio, and Pedro. We taught the youth class about the restoration. After church we talked to Roberto and Aurelio and kind of had little seperate lessons with them. Roberto opened up about some things so we can help him get him closer to baptism. Afterwards, we went and visited Nicol and Jesus. They are super cute! Jesus told us a cool story of how his cousin in jail told him he had been praying to find God and the day he told Jesus we knocked on the door to Jesus's house. We had gotten a prompting to go back and knock the house. He told us when we came he felt something... the spirit! They gave us a referral to visit his cousin's family. They are going to have a baby!! They are super interested in learning more. Finally, we were able to eat dinner. We went to Genni’s house. She fed us this shrimp soup with the whole shrimp in it. We had to pull it apart and pretty much dissect it to get the meat. It was really good, but threw me off to see my food looking at me. Then we drove to our lesson with Aurelio and Pedro. We get there and Pedro was playing music composed from our church. That was a shocker. He surprised us with pizza and wings. (I told him at church that we don’t eat out on Sundays, but we could eat at his house sometime. Then he bought Pizza and brought it to us.) So we ate a second dinner. We taught them the rest of the plan of salvation and committed them to reading the Book of Mormon. I told Pedro if he doesn’t read it, we can’t come back. He bursted out laughing. It has become an inside joke. During the lesson, Pedro gave us these head massager things. We spent like 10 minutes taking pictures and laughing. Right when we were leaving and taking some more pictures this song came on. It is the song that they play every Zone Conference for the baptism pictures. We got super excited and we all started singing. They were confused but loved it. It was like a sign saying that they are going to get baptized!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">I am so excited to work hard in this new area. It just surprises me how I can love these people so much when I barely even know them or haven't even met them yet. Charity is the pure love of Christ. In Moroni 7:47-48 it says, "(47)But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him. (48) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen." It isn't easy to have Charity, but it is possible. I wasn't super excited to come to South Carolina to serve my mission. I was told to pray for charity and love towards the people here. Now I love them with all my heart. I'm striving to be more like Jesus and follow in His ways. He is the best example we have and I am grateful for that.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Love you all!

Because we are Spanish and English we have to find so many new people to teach a week. The people that we are teaching out here are so awesome and I love my companions. This is probably the happiest I have been in a trio. Hna. Stewart and Williamson think that I am hilarious… I don’t know why. It is pretty funny because they are always laughing really hard. </span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Last Monday, we went down to Georgia!! I have offically been there now. Sadly, I didn’t get a picture by the state sign. We had a Zone P-day. This zone is the smallest one in the mission. We ate pizza and then we played volleyball and lightning. It was super fun. We went and visited Yoshi. He is nice and we have this Terrarium from him. It has bugs in it. These weird centipede looking things. It is our decoration for our dinner table. Afterwards, we went and visited Jonas. He had a friend there, so we taught them a little about the restoration. Then, we went over to Donovan’s house. We taught him about the 10 commandments. </span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Tuesday morning we had DCM up in Ridgeland. Hna. Stewart is our district leader, so that is fun. We talked about the importance of inviting the people we teach to do things. Our purpose as missionaries is to invite and help others to come unto Christ. When we invite people to do things, we are inviting them to change and come unto Christ. For lunch, we got Dairy Queen and called Pedro. We asked him why he hadn't read, so he started reading on the phone. It was hilarious. We went and visited Maria who is about to have a baby. They were eating red mole and gave me some. It was super good. I think I prefer it more then brown mole. We taught them the restoration and she really liked it. We are going back in a week so she can have time with her new baby. After that, we had a great lesson with Aurelio. We gave him his baptismal calendar and talked to him about the Word of Windom. He is totally up to living it! He asked us if he would be a good member and we said of course. We told him all the things we love about him and he started to tear up. Chris came in and we were able to help and teach him too. Then we drove to English class and it was awesome! We called Jonas after and invited him to read the Book of Mormon.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">We went and practiced for a musical number on Wednesday. We are going to be singing in church in a couple of weeks. Afterwards, we went and had a lesson with Cody. He is super funny. He has some addictions that he is going through. He used to believe that there was no God and now he is praying. We taught him about prophets. We did an object lesson where we had him put out his hand (people)and try to follow our hand (God) with his eyes closed. He couldn't and thought it was funny. Then we had him hold up his thumb to represent the prophet. We then guided his hand with his thumb👍. He got it! Afterwards, we visited this older couple that are members. They are so cute! They gave us some food and we sang with them. They loved one of my past companions Hna. Berry. For dinner, we ate with the Bejars. We ate this rice soup and chicken taquitos. It was super good. For dessert, we had these fancy cake pop things. Then we visited Ezekiel. We sang a song and met another one of his roommates David. He was hilarious and probably is looking for a wife. He kept mentioning it and we kept mentioning church. They invited us over for dinner next week.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">On Thursday we went and visited this lady named Elizabeth. We taught her about the restoration and are going back next week. We then had the craziest lesson with Justin and Hannah (they speak English) . We taught them part of the restoration and it went well. Then it fell apart… they started to pretty much bash us about the trinity. They tried to explain it to us and used analogies but then said you can't use analogies. It was so confusing. English work is sooo different from Spanish work. I prefer Spanish but I know I will learn a lot from working with English people. We went to dinner with Rafael, a recent convert. He is so awesome! We got tacos from a taco truck. I got one of chicharrón, asada, and carnitas. I took a bite of the chicharrón and it was weird. Turns out that chicharrón is pig skin🐖. I ate it, but I prefer the way it is in pupusas. Then we taught English class. Roberto was in mine! We were talking about keys and other things. All of a sudden I keep hearing the word kiss. I was like why are we talking about kissing? Keys… kiss. They do sound pretty similar. We all started laughing. The things you learn while teaching English.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">On Friday, we planned a lot for the upcoming week. Then we went and visited this address that we have. They didn't answer, so we knocked on the door next to it. It was a guy from Honduras. We talked and invited him to English class. Then we knocked on the next door. It was a guy who didn't seem super interested. We went to get in the car, and the people pulled up. We knocked on their door and they let us right in! I was caught really off guard. They remembered when their daughter got taught and they wanted us to come back. If we wouldn't have knocked the other doors and just left, we would've never met them. Afterwards, we visited that Cesar I talked about a couple of weeks ago. His mom just broke her foot. They are just going through so much. They gave us a little purse that she made. After that, we had a lesson with Jose Ramos. He is awesome! We read 2 Nephi 31 with him. We taught him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He said that he needs to be baptized!! He just needs to choose when. We got Chick-fil-a on the way to Jonas's house. It was very much needed. Then we taught Jonas about repentance and the Atonement while his 3 yr. old Joseph was running around. To end the day, we called Aurelio and taught him about temples. It was so cute! He asked us if his baptism is February 26th and if it is at 5pm. We hadn’t chosen a time, but he gave us one. So we told him yes! We are super excited for his baptism and he is too!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;"> </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">We went and visited Maria and Demetrio Saturday morning. Their kids are so cute. We read the Book of Mormon with them, and they are going to keep reading it. They invited us to go out to eat with them. So next week we are going to eat tacos. We went out to lunch at Panera with this guy named Raheem. We didn’t know what to expect but he is super awesome. He wants to meet with us and come to church! At the end, he told us he had a getaway plan if we were crazy. He would have taken our buzzers up to the front, given the guy $20 to take us our food, and left. It was a good thing we weren’t crazy. We went and visited this address looking for a guy named Giovanni. He wasn't there but his sister was. She went and got his friend Ricardo. He called Giovanni and said some niñas were here to see him. I told him that were weren't niñas and he moved father away to talk. Apparently he didn't realize we understood Spanish. I should've kept my mouth shut and listened. Hna. Williamson asked to use his bathroom and he said he would check how it was. He never came back out… so the sister came to the door and said he was busy. It was a flat out rejection that was hilarious. We couldn't stop laughing. Then we called Pedro and talked for a little while. After that, we had a lesson with Donovan. He bought us stuffed animals for us for Valentine's Day. It was so nice of him. We taught him a little more about repentance. Then we went to our Talent Night!! La noche de los talentos!! It was super fun. Not a lot of people showed up but it was still a good turn out. The Elders and us sang "You are my Sunshine." (It is actually a sad song) I also played a song on the piano. Roberto got up and did a rap that he wrote. It was cool. We understood him but we can't speak Spanish THAT fast. After the talent show we ate some pizza and dessert. We met someone that wants to be baptized so we are going to help him with that. Then we talked to Donovan and Roberto. We listened to the things they are going through and helped them out.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Yesterday was an awesome day. English sacrament meeting went well. We taught the youth Sunday School class. We taught them about the 10 commandments and some hand signs to help remember them. Then we had Spanish sacrament meeting. I am so grateful that I can listen to church and not have to worry about translating. It was a great experience before, but it is good to have a break. Roberto, Donovan, Jose Manuel, Aurelio, and Elisandro came!! The talks were awesome. When we go through trials it shows our true character. When I heard that I just started to think. I am the person who I am today because of the things that I have gone through. I am not too fond of change, but change is the thing that helps me grow. My mom once told me that I could be sad and wallow away because of the things that were happening or I could be happy and learn something from it. After church we called this guy and now we are going to go visit him! Then we went to Nicol’s house. She is adorable. We taught her about prophets. Afterwards, a lot of our lessons canceled. We visited Efrain and he is going to start reading the Book of Mormon everyday. He wants to become better. We ended the night with a bang. We went and taught Roberto! We were teaching the first part of the plan of salvation and he just understood. He compared this life here to school. Then he asked, “What do we do with what we’ve learned here after?” We were really shocked. We taught the rest of it. As I was explaining the three kingdoms, he stopped me. Then he explained it without me even telling him. It was neat to see him put the pieces together in his mind. I asked him where he wants to go and he asked me, "Where do you deserve to go?" It was a blunt question. Right now I am not worthy of the Celestial kingdom, I’m not. I am going to do everything I can to make it there and be with my family forever. Roberto then explained the whole plan to us. He loved it and just soaked it all up. He told us what he needs to do. We thought about it and it probably helps that he has read the whole Book of Mormon. He loves it! As we shared 2 Nephi 2:22-23, he got up and grabbed a pen to mark it and asked questions. It was adorable. The spirit was strong in our lesson and we hope that he will remember the things that clicked. My alarm to get ready for bed went off and I turned it off. During the closing prayer the second one went off. It was super embarrassing. Roberto prayed that I would remember to turn off my alarm so it wouldn't interrupt our conversations.😂</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">A funny thing that happened a little while ago. We were at Jonas's house and he told us that he hadn't read the Book of Mormon. He said there were a lot of obstáculos that happened, but we heard tacos. We were like buy tacos on another day. He was so confused😂 and so were we. I gave us a good laugh.</span></span></p></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit;

font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600;">I'm hot!!!🥵 (temperature wise😉)</span> <span style="background-color: white;

I finally took Hna. Marvin to go see the dam that is near our apartment. I hadn’t been back since I went with Hna. Hanson in July. I thought that there wouldn’t be a lot of water but there was! We couldn’t get over to the spot I wanted to because of the amount of water. The water was brown and dirty. It felt like we were trekking into the bayou. I compared a picture I took from July and from this time and it looks sooo different! Hna. Marvin and I didn’t have time to eat dinner at home so we picked up a pizza. I owed her 6 bucks and she wanted it paid back in a pizza, so I had no choice.</span></span></p><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Tuesday morning we had DCM with our all Sister District (Sistrict). It went pretty good. We talked about the covenants we make in the temple. Also about how we always need to leave something behind. When someone doesn’t answer a door, leave a note, scripture, cookies, etc. To let them know that we were there. Maybe someone has a Book of Mormon and a pamphlet but they aren’t ready to accept the gospel. It is okay to move on as long as they at least have a way to find the missionaries again. For lunch, Hna. Marvin and I got Subway. Gift Cards are great because I have to use them. Afterwards, we went and taught Doris. They got a new puppy that is super adorable. I can’t hold babies, but I can hold puppies. We reviewed and taught the rest of the Plan of Salvation. It was cool because her brother-in-law was a part of the lesson. He hasn’t been to church in a long time. He wants to start coming back! After that we went and set up Hna. Marvin another appointment at Cvs to get more of her nasty mouth rinse. Hna. Marvin made us these fat hamburgers for dinner. When I just started eating the meat she told me her family calls that meat cookies. Then we went to Milvian’s house. We taught her about temples and she loved it! We raced to English class and had it all ready… and no one showed up. We were about to leave when Alex waltzed in. We hadn’t seen him for a month! He came bearing gifts from Mexico. He brought me an embroidered backpack and Hna. Marvin a shirt. He told us that it was super cheap. We taught him some English and he corrected some of our Spanish. Alex was explaining germs in Spanish and how the Mexican moms talk about them to their kids. The moms say, "No lo comes porque tiene bibis (apparently it is a slang word for germs)." Then he did the action of licking his shoe pretending to be a kid. Then he pretended to be the mom and said, "Don't do that. It's not clean, there are Germans on it." It was so hilarious! I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t breathe.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">We had a really great lesson with David and Brother Bright on Wednesday! We taught him about the freedom to choose. The spirit was super strong. Freedom to choose or agency is a gift from our Heavenly Father. Satan’s plan was to force everyone to choose the right. Heavenly Father’s plan allows us to choose, learn, and grow. After that super long lesson, we went to Walmart to get Hna. Marvin’s mouth rinse. We had no time to run home, so we got Chick-fil-a per Hna. Marvin’s request. We ate it while we waited for the stinking pharmacy that was being slow. Then we went to visit Marla and Martin. Martin wasn’t there because he got called to work. It was Gary’s birthday, so we got to join in on singing <span class="mark8lovrgqaj _2mvHg_8QQFEuo2e0RlZLXB" data-markjs="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: var(--themeLighter); border-radius: 2px; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 1px; text-decoration: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Happy Birthday</span> and eating cake. Then we went and visited Marisol. She made us really HOT coco. We couldn’t hold it because it was burning our hands through the cups. We taught her about prophets and she really started to pay attention and participate. </span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">On Thursday, we went and visited Maria. She is doing pretty good. We are just trying to get her to read the Book of Mormon more. Something crazy is her baby Valentina is going to be turning 6 months old. I met Maria a couple of weeks before she was born!! Maria wants a children’s Book of Mormon so she can read it with her son Diego. Afterwards, we went to Cracker Barrel with Santaigo. He wanted to try American food and we helped him out with that. We retaught him the First Vision and about the Book of Mormon. He can’t wait to dive more into it. He is just so golden!!! Then we went and knocked on some doors. The last one answered and turns out she is Sister Tilley’s mom. That was really cool. We got to know her and invited her to all Spanish church. Then we raced to dinner with the Mejias. We were running late, but they wer too. Hno. Mejia called us so we told him he told us 7pm. He said, “No, I was just joking. Do you know where liars go? They burn.” I told him, “I like the heat.” We all got a good laugh out of that. They fed us pork tacos. David was there too! He was being super sassy and doing that in Spanish. We got English Class ready and no one showed up again!! So Hna. Marvin turned on the life of President Monson and we watched it while we organized our English class papers. It took forever but it looks so much better. It cost $30, but missionaries will benefit from it for ages.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">We had a great lesson with Yessi on Friday. We have been wanting to teach her, but she has just been so busy with her new job. She told us that her dad is a member, and that she wants to start coming to church. She doesn’t have time for lessons right now, but on Sunday’s we can! We went and knocked on some houses with no answer. Then we went and visited Hna. Salinas’ sister. She let us right in and started chatting with us. Her husband and young daughters have never been to church (another part member family!!) She said we could come back and meet them! After that, we stopped and said hi to David at work. He told us he wasn’t planning on coming to church, but changed his mind when we randomly stopped by. Then we went to teach Carmen(Mariola) and were stuck in traffic for an hour!!! It was ridiculous. I was able to park on the freeway. She texted us and asked if we were okay right as we got to the door. We taught her the rest of the Plan of Salvation and she loved it. She really wants to learn more and come to church. Hopefully she will help her family have more interest. Afterwards, we drove to get Hna. Marvin a blessing from Brother Bright and Shivley. We found out earlier in the day that she now has a gastrointestinal yeast infection. That little thing in her mouth has now spread to her whole body. It went really well. I figured we were there so I might as well get one for myself. I heard a lot of things that I needed to hear. I never told Brother Bright how I was feeling physically, emotionally, or spiritually, but the things I needed to hear were given to him to say. Then we ran to Walmart to pick up more food for Hna. Marvin. She can’t eat Lactose, Gluten, or Sugar for the next month. She is going to lose weight and I am going to gain it.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Saturday morning we woke up later because I didn’t feel good. I had really bad chills and I was freezing. I got ready for the day but felt like crap. I layed down on our mattress in our living room. Hna. Marvin piled 5 blankets on top of me, a heat pack, and I was wearing long socks, and a fluffy hoody too. I slept for like two hours (Hna. Marvin was kind enough to take some pictures of that😂) and the chills went away. We went and taught David about Eternal Marriage. He told us that we always talk about the things that God has been telling him. He has come to the realization that to receive all the blessings that his Heavenly Father has in store for him, he needs a righteous wife. He is exactly correct. Families are a central part to the Plan of Salvation. We had a family before we came here, we have one now, and Heavenly Father gives us the opportunity to have it forever after this life. Afterwards, we went to Boiling Springs to pick up Hna. Marvin’s medication to get rid of her infection. I was starting to feel sick again, but she really wanted to visit Johany. We were able to finish the Plan of Salvation without Dana eating my object lesson. Also… Dana can walk!! She was walking around and giving us high-fives. It was adorable. I am seeing all these babies grow up out here. We started talking about Eternal Families and Johany and Emilio really want to get sealed in the temple. We told them it could happen, there are just things that need to happen before that. I told Johany that I didn’t feel good and she said, “I know because your eyes look sad.” Apparently, I don’t hide when I don’t feel good as good as I thought. To end the night, we went and visited Elida and her family. We showed them a video about gospel dispensations and they understood apostasies a lot better. Amanda said the closing prayer for the first time in front of us! It was so simple and beautiful. She was terrified, but did it! We got home around 10 and finally had dinner. I felt really woozy and freezing. We took my temperature and it was 100.7. I went and put on a fuzzy jacket because I was shaking from being cold. Hna. Marvin got mad at me and we argued. Not in that kind of way. She told me I was going to die, but I told her that I was soo cold. I hate being cold normally but even more when I don’t feel good. According to her I was being delirious and delusional. I ate some Spaghettios and took off my jacket. My temperature was now at 102.6!!! I put on some shorts and a t-shirt and laid down with a wet rag on my face. I fell asleep lukewarm.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Yesterday I woke up still feeling pretty yucky. So we didn’t go to church. It is the first time on my mission that I have missed church. I felt so bad and sad. Santiago and Daniel went, but no one translated sacrament meeting. I slept all day and then got ready to go to a member meal. We didn’t want to get them sick, so we took the food to go. We thought about getting me a covid test, but needed a computer to schedule that. We went to the church to eat and schedule one. We propped up my phone and watched Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration. We ate pork roast, rice, gravy, green beans, and biscuits. I couldn’t get an appointment for a covid test. They are all full until Thursday. And the one they have for Thursday takes 1-3 days to get the results. By the time I find out it will have been a week since I started feeling sick, which means too late. We went to Walmart and looked for a at home test but the pharmacy was closed. The Cvs was all out of them. Then we had a mission wide zoom call. We talked about how to better contact people and being better in the mornings. After that, we went and checked another Cvs and it was closed. When it comes to getting medical help, the south is not the place to go.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">(Also, I am sick of eating out!

Something really stuck out to me. "In all things, the Savior’s example is our best guide. He was not exempt from the need to prove Himself. He endured for all of Heavenly Father’s children, paying the price for all our sins. He felt the suffering of all who have and will come into mortality. When you wonder how much pain you can endure well, remember Him. He suffered what you suffer so that He would know how to lift you up. He may not remove the burden, but He will give you strength, comfort, and hope. He knows the way. He drank the bitter cup. He endured the suffering of all." I have been given strength, hope, and comfort as I go through my trials. When I am going through something hard I remember a quote, "People have the faith to ask for their burdens to be taken away, but do they have the faith to not ask them to be taken away?" (I worded that wrong, but that is pretty much the gist) I wanted to invite you all to read this talk. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: #800180; font-family: arial;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14.6667px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tested, Proved, and Polish by President Henry B.

I don’t really member much of what was said. I was exhausted and still half asleep. We didn’t do much because I was so tired and sleeping. We went and tried to get a covid test at this place that Hna. Ramirez told us about. We went in and it was this Indian guy and he said I had to come back the next day but fill stuff in online. That was a no go because we don’t have the internet. Then we took notes and brownies to Brother Bright and Bella. Hna. Marvin rang their doorbells and ran like the wind. I sat in the car and watched. We also listened to/watched the Phone Call. I wasn’t expecting the ending.😐</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Wednesday was crazy. We went to pretty much all the Doctor’s Care trying to get a covid test done. We drove to Spartanburg and they told us that they were at full capacity and to come back at 4pm. So, we called another one in Spartanburg and they were full. We called the one in Greer and they said they had room. Half hour car ride later, and when we got there they were full. So we drove all the way back to Spartanburg, filled out my paperwork and waited until 4pm. We went in and they told us that they were full and to come back the next day at 8am. We drove home feeling pretty frustrated and discouraged. Brother Bright gave us a call and we told him I possibly had Covid. He said he didn’t care and that he wanted to take us to Wade’s for dinner. We went and I wore my mask most of the time. The food was soooo good. I hadn’t eaten really much the past couple of days. I got chicken pot pie, mac & cheese, and potatoes and gravy. I was in heaven. It ended up being good that we went because we cheered up Brother Bright. We also gave this homeless man named Keith some food and a Book of Mormon.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Bright and early Thursday morning we drove to the Doctor’s Care. It was right before 8am and there were already a ton of cars there. I got on the list and was #17. They told us that they would send us a text when they were ready for us. We listened to General Conference talks and we waited, and waited, and waited. I was starting to get really hungry about an hour and a half in. So we went to McDonalds and got me some breakfast. Hna. Marvin was hungry too, so we got her lunch at 10:15am. She got a double roast beef sandwich from Arby’s without the bread, so they gave it to her in a bowl! After that, we decided to meander around Goodwill across the street (The DI is much better). Finally, they called us and said they were ready for me. They stuck a q-tip up my nose and we waited. Then this lady comes in wearing a thing like a hazmat suit and I knew I was doomed. My test came back positive!! I had/have covid!🤧🤒 I’m pretty sure that I have the Omnicrom strain of covid. Thank goodness I didn’t lose my sense of taste or smell. I lasted almost 2 years without getting it!! The lady was really nice and told us that she is a member of the church. She hasn’t been for a while because she is always tired on Sundays. She told us that she is going to start going back to church!! Hna. Marvin had to use the restroom, so I waited for her. I saw these two ladies and they were speaking Spanish. Once Hna. Marvin got out, we gave them an English Class card and talked to them. They had Covid too! One was named Catherine. She told us that she wanted our number and that she went to church with her grandma when she was little. She has wanted to go back for a little while and was so happy to see us! (We would never have met her if I somehow would’ve got my test sooner or never even had covid.) After that, we went to Hna. Marvin’s doctor appointment. She has had this yeast infection for a long time and it has spread throughout her body really bad. She went in while I waited in the car (I was told to wait in the car by our mission nurse.). So, I took a kind of uncomfortable nap for the next hour and a half. Then we went to Walmart to get her new prescription. I felt bad going in because I was supposed to be quarantining. So we were in and out as quickly as possible. We gave this guy an English class card. It was funny because this Spanish lady walked by and I saw her ears perk up. I asked her if she was interested and she came right over and took a card. Then we went home and officially started our quarantine (Even though we had been doing it since Saturday night last week.).</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Friday we went on a walk and they had iced the sidewalk. We had been hearing rumors that it was going to snow a lot. We didn’t really know what to believe. We had some great video call lessons! We called Israel and taught him about prophets. We found out that he has only been learning Spanish for a year. He started when he was 16. He is from Guatemala and speaks this cool dialect called Chucksamateo (I don’t know how to spell it and I also don’t understand it.) After that, we had a lesson with David. We shared some thoughts from these little daily quotes books we have. Then it lead into repentance. It reminded me of a thing I read the other day. It quoted Brad Wilcox and said, “Remember change is possible, repentance is a process, and worthiness is not flawlessness. Most important, remember that God and Christ are willing to help us right here and now.” Then it explained, "Satan tries to discourage us, focusing on how far we have to go, while Christ encourages us, focusing on how far we have come...It’s about progress, not perfection—the slope up, not the slip up." Afterwards, we had a fantastic lesson with Santiago. We taught him about the Word of Wisdom and he thinks it is great! He loves the things we are teaching him and his prayers are so humble. It felt great to teach some lessons after such a long time. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Saturday I was super tired because of the late night on Friday. We found out church was going to be canceled. We were told that we were going to receive 4-6 inches of snow. We weren’t going to church anyway because of quarantine but now the people we teach didn’t have a chance. We called Hno. Ramirez and got permission to do a zoom Come Follow Me. We planned that and figured out how to use zoom. That took absolutely forever. Brother Bright drove 30 minutes to bring us some soup and cookies he made for us. He is just the sweetest. I love the members out here. Then we spent the rest of the night contacting people and inviting them to it. We drove our trash to the garbage and then went on a walk. This Indian guy asked us how we were doing and we told him pretty good. He asked us if we had any plans and we said that we were just going on a walk. THEN he said, “Well my friends and I are having some drinks up stairs if you want to join us.” Dun-dun-dun! I just felt the awkwardness settle down upon us. Then I said, “Well, we are in quarantine right now (like legit we were!)...” little awkward silence, “...and we don’t drink.” He told us ok and to have a great night and we did the same to him. It was pretty funny!😂 Right when I was about to fall asleep, I heard a plop, and then I hear, “It’s snowing!” It indeed was snowing in South Carolina. We put on our coats and shoes to investigate. I hadn’t seen snow for almost 2 years, but that made it just 1 year.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Yesterday we woke up to lots of snow. We had the zoom meeting at 9am. Good ole Brother Bright showed up, Bro. Densmore, Hno. & Hna. Ramirez, Santiago, Renhe, and Victor were in it too. We had a great discussion about Adam and Eve, the importance of agency, and Jesus Christ redeeming us. After that, Hna. Marvin and I suited up to play in the snow. We grabbed boxes to sled down the hill. The snow wasn’t working for that so we pushed each other down the hill. Then we made snow angels and rolled down the hill. It was super fun and nice to have some fresh air. After that we had a fat nap during lunch. Later, we had a lesson with Israel and his friend Omar joined in. We forgot to tell Hno. Ramirez that they don’t know much Spanish and he went off in his fast Spanish. It was still a good lesson, and Hno. Ramirez is going to bring them to church!! Afterwards, we had a lesson with Bella. We haven’t seen her for a month because she was in Mexico with her daughter. We taught her about enduring to the end and read 3 Nephi 15:9-10 and Moroni 1:3-4. As we were talking, I noticed the picture of Ryan on my desk. I felt I needed to talk about him and about what I’ve gone through. I started to get emotional. My mom and I have talked about it over and over again, and I have learned a lot from those talks. I told them we always wonder why our Heavenly Father takes good people from us. Why them when there are so many evil and bad people in the world. We needed them. I needed him. I told them, “Our Heavenly Father needs good people too. They fulfilled their mission here and He needs their help there.” After, Hna. Ramirez proceeded to tell her story. Her mom died when she was 13 years old. She had come to term with her death and living without her. She then said, “For 23 years I have been searching for the answer of why God took my mom, and I just received it. He took her because He needs good people with Him too.” The Spirit was strong and we all were crying. It was neat to be used to help answer Hna. Ramirez’s prayer and question. We invited Bella to keep reading the Book of Mormon. I am praying that she receives her answer and finds what she is looking for. Later, we had Family Home Evening as a Zone over zoom. It went really well. We called David after, and had another lesson. He is needing a lot of support right now. To end the night, we put on our boots and coats and sat out on our “balcony.” It was freezing but refreshing. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Quarantine hasn't really been driving me crazy, but it is driving Hna. Marvin nuts! She told me it hasn't bothered me because I have been sleeping the whole time, which is true!😂🤣 Out of curiousity I counted how much I have slept since I got sick and it was... around 120 hours!!

We haven’t been able to go anywhere or teach anyone in person. I haven’t felt the greatest either. I decided that I wanted to start reading “Jesus the Christ” by James E. Talmage. He was one of the Apostles. I have wanted to read it since before Christmas of 2020. It is full of sooo much information!! It starts out talking about pre mortal Christ (Jehovah). I am almost to the part of his birth. While reading this, my desire to study Jesus Christ and all about Him has grown. I am in Chapter 7 right now and I have already learned so much and had things brought to my remembrance. Christ said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” I learned that “I Am” also means the same thing as “Jehovah.” So in this Christ is saying that He was Jehovah by saying “I am.” I knew that Jesus Christ was the Jehovah of the Old Testament. I just didn’t know that “I Am” is one of His names. I just wanted to invite you all to read the book. I sadly can’t send the link to the whole book, but here are the first two chapters. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Chapter 1: Introduction</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/jesus-the-christ/chapter-1?lang=eng" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/jesus-the-christ/chapter-1?lang=eng</span></span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Chapter 2: Preexistence and Foreordination of the Christ </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="1" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/jesus-the-christ/chapter-2?lang=eng" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/jesus-the-christ/chapter-2?lang=eng</span></span></a></p><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Les quiero!

We were worried someone had gotten to it before us. But the guy pulled out and didn't get gas. We drove around but the car was faced the wrong way. So I jumped out and yelled sacrifice. Then Hna. Marvin drove and flipped around. Then I turned and looked and saw these two girls looking at me weird, so I explained. It was embarrassing but pretty funny. I have no regrets. We went and taught Elida and her kids were being super crazy. Sometimes kids are easy to teach and other times they are not. It was getting late, but we decided to go visit Luz. We hadn’t seen her for a month plus. There were lots of cancellations and Mia and Derek were sick. We taught them about the Book of Mormon and Derek is excited to read it!</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">I gave the discussion for DCM on Tuesday. I talked about how Faith and Obedience help us find people to teach. If we don’t have faith that we will find, we won’t. Faith is the opposite of fear. When we are afraid it isn’t allowing our faith to lead us. My mom has always told me that if I want the exact blessings I need to be exactly obedient. The only thing that I can remember from my first setting apart blessing was to be exactly obedient. Over the past couple of weeks, I have realized something, being exactly obedient isn’t being obedient because you have to, but because you want to. I am in the process of changing my mindset and trying to become better. I know that I am not the best missionary, but I can do so much more. Heavenly Father loves us exactly the way we are right now, but he wants us to progress and become better. For lunch, we went to Broncos. I got this chimichanga with quesadillas and pieces of steak. I was starving so I ate pretty much the whole thing. After, we went and taught David about the priesthood. He told us that the priesthood wasn’t something he wanted. Then we explained what it was, why we need it, and the blessings. He is grateful for it now. Afterwards, we taught Milvian a quick lesson about the 10 commandments. We had to leave really fast because Hna. Marvin had a doctors appointment. Her antibiotic for her ear infection gave her thrush or a growth of yeast in her mouth. She now has to rinse with this cherry peppermint flavored stuff 4 times a day. She thinks it is sooo gross, and I crack up every times she gags when she does it. Then we went and taught the Huipes about the Plan of Salvation. We played Jenga after the lesson and Selina and Isabella started talking a lot. We are helping them get to young womens these next couple of weeks. The downfall of the day was no one showed up to English Class. So I practiced the piano for a minute and then we worked on some spreadsheets. On the way home we got a call from the Spanish STLs. They asked us to switch our exchanges and to have it the next day.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">I spent Wednesday in… Columbia!! like always! Hna. Oyler and I went and got Elote from Manny’s. This time I got a kiwi colada. It was good but I like the other ones better. Then we went and taught this little boy named Alex who wants to get baptized. We played Jenga with them. His family are members, but he is super shy Hna. Oyler told me that it was a breakthrough lesson because they actually talked and had fun with us. After that we taught a family from Honduras. They were super nice and fed us these enchiladas (apparently in Honduras they call tostadas enchiladas.) It was so delicious. We told them a couple of jokes. Here are a couple of them: (Translated they aren’t as funny)</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">¿Cuál fruta es la más chistosa? ¡La naranja-ja-ja! </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">¿Cuál fruta es la más negativa? ¡El plátano-no-no!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Here was a riddle: Nací en el mar.

They started arguing and both sides were partially right. The hermanas are going to have to cover that again. Something really cool happened as we were driving. I was doing something on my phone when Hna. Oyler said we were going to flip around and talk to some Hispanics on the side of the road. We did and one of them was a member. She had been wanting to come back to church. She prayed for help and we popped up. She said she hadn’t seen the elders walking around for a while, and that is because we have cars. We gave her the information for church and English class. Hna. Oyler told me that she wasn’t going to talk to them, but felt strongly that she should. It was really neat. We got hot chocolate and then we went to bed.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Thursday, we exchanged back and got Zaxby’s. We had a zoom meeting with all the Spanish missionaries on how to help our English classes get better. A lot of people used to come, but now pretty much no one comes. We learned a lot of new tips and tricks, and we are excited to try them out. After that we went and visited Caren and Angel. They have this super stinkin cute puppy. He has the tiniest legs and loves to play. They really want to come to church and will hopefully fix their car so they can. Then Hna. Marvin and I stopped by a tienda. We left some English class cards and bought some pan dulce. I got this one with pudding and she got a puerquito (bread shaped like a pig). The one I got was sooo good and super messy. I ate the whole thing. Probably not a good idea right before dinner, but it was too late. We visited Maria and she still wants to meet with us. We are really hoping that she will progress. The Mejias fed us Little Caesars Pizza and Tamales. I tried my first Tamales de Piña. They were really good. Then we taught English Class. Santiago, Daniel, and his friend Moises came! It went really well. We weren’t planning on having a lesson after with Santiago, but his ride said they couldn’t pick him up. So we gave him a church tour and he loved the painting of when Christ visited the Ancient Americas. He said he has seen temples in Guatemala and Chiapas like in the painting. We showed him a picture of the First Vision and taught him that. He thought that it was so cool! He also loved seeing the baptismal font. We stayed with him as long as we could, and gave him some tamales. He sat outside in front of the church until his ride got there. It was so hard to leave him in the dark all alone. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Friday afternoon we planned a lot for the upcoming week. Then we went to visit the Sanchez family. When we got there they told us that they were busy, so we rescheduled for Sunday. So we stopped by this one house. They had a little bear decoration that said, “Go Away,” and a sign that said they would prosecute if people came by without asking would have to pay $500. What a warm welcome. Then we went and visited Hermano and Hermana Chirolla, the parents of Ivan Chirolla. Only the dad was there so we scheduled a visit for Sunday. Afterwards, we went and had dinner with Irma and her family. They are from Belize. They learned English and then Spanish. We ate ceviche (this time it had avocados and tostada), steak, potatoes, and garlic bread. It was a fun way to spend New Years Eve. On the way home we called Carlos and taught him about the Atonement. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Saturday we drove and visited some people. We went to some sketchy looking houses. Hna. Marvin fed a dog some treats and he wanted to come home with us. We stopped by this house who asked for a bible study. The name was Dyqwuan. It didn’t sound super hispanic, but you never know. Turns out they are not and speak English. The mom was super nice, and talked to us. She told us that her brother named her son. He named his own son Jyqwuan. She told us that she should’ve known he would name them something similar. We drove to visit someone else and met Balta. He seems super interested in talking more with us. He knew the elders before and never thought that there would be sister missionaries. That happens a lot. People think that we don’t exist. We get called Elders sometimes. On the way to see Johany we called Israel. He was a self referral. He wants to come to church! We tried to get him a ride but we didn’t get his address in time. We are going to start teaching him too! Josue and Deylert were so excited to see us. We haven’t seen them since the ward activity. We started teaching them the plan of salvation with my little felt map thing. Dana kept trying to get it off the table, so we kept moving it. She wasn’t having that. We gave her one and she tried ripping it/eating it. Then she cried and cried. It is super hard to teach with a baby crying. Hopefully Dana will be in a better mood next time.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Yesterday was awesome. We had our Spanish Fast and testimony meeting. From now on we will be having two seperate Spanish meetings every month. Sadly, no one we are teaching came to church. It seemed like everything was fighting against all that we had done. On the good side, we finally had a group leader called!!! It is Hermano Ramirez! I have been waiting for this since July. I jumped for joy with Hna. Marvin when we found out. With church at 9am now, we are able to go home for lunch. We took a nap instead. Right when we were about to leave Victor called us. I have been texting him since November and sending him the English class info. I had been wanting to see if he was interested in the gospel but he always texted back a lot later. He asked me about church and we gave him the info. In the call we talked and he still wants to come to church! We are going to start teaching him!! Afterwards, we went and had a lesson with Mariola (she has asked us to start calling her Carmen… that will be a hard transition). She is doing really well. Sadly Mia doesn’t want to talk to us anymore. She won’t be getting baptized, but we have hope for the future. It was really sweet because Mariola was glowing and was just soaking up the plan of salvation. She asked us if there was more and we told her we were saving it for next time. After that we went and visited the Chirollas. They are super sweet and told us so many stories. They gave us this guava sweet with cheese. I think it tastes pretty good. Hna. Marvin was a chicken and didn’t eat it together. Even though she compared it to Ratatouille.🐀 Then we raced to visit Maria Hernandez. She is doing a little better. She still struggles to breathe and it was hard watching her. Hna. Marvin got to know her better last week on exchanges. Turns out she got baptized 4 years ago. Her husband passed away before, but she was able to get sealed to him. It sounds like such a neat story. Right after that, we stopped by this one house. We have visited it a couple times with no answer, but they answered. We met Raul and Maria. They are friends and have talked to the missionaries before. It was a bit awkward at first, but we are going back later this week. They want to start being taught again. We got home and video called Israel. We taught him a lesson and got to know him better. Something funny is that he is the Israel we met at Nicholas’s house (with many Nicholases) about a month and a half ago. He is so open to learning and really wants to come to church. Hna. Marvin said she had dejavu. She said she knew it was the same Israel. Well, there are no coincidences. He contacted other missionaries, who then got us in contact with him again. To end our teaching that night, we called Carlos. It took a minute for him to open up, but he told us that he wants to be closer to God and misses going to church. He told us that he is going to find a ride so that he can come this upcoming Sunday. Hna. Marvin and I had absolutely no time to eat dinner. We had pigs in a blanket again. She made a cat croissant and a dog, they looked pretty funny looking. It was a great way to end our night. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">I have seen over the past week that our Heavenly Father truly answers our prayers. I have been praying for us to receive a group leader for so long. We finally got one, just in His timing. Hna. Marvin and I have been having a hard time finding new people to teach. We have been praying and trying so hard, but we weren’t seeing anything. This week we were able to find six new people, which was a miracle. I am so grateful for prayer and the answers that I receive. I know that my Heavenly Father hears me and loves me. I know that He gives me what I need and not always what I want. In John 16:23-24 it says, “(23) And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. (24) Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” I wanted to invite you all to say a prayer in the morning and in the night daily. I promise you that you will feel a change in you day. You will feel closer to your Heavenly Father, and will see the answers to your prayers.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">I love you all!

She told us that she was going to be gone for two weeks, so we needed enough food to last that long. We went over to the Huipes and I taught everyone how to make snowflakes. It was super fun and they loved it. We watched the Christ Child and had a discussion about it. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We had DCM on Tuesday. We talked about faith. We need to have faith to teach people and faith to stop teaching some. It is a really hard thing to do. We want to teach everyone the gospel. Some people just aren’t ready. They aren’t ready to change, and to keep their commitments. We can take a horse to water, but we can’t make him drink. We can’t force the gospel onto people. We have to trust in God’s timing. I really liked something that was said, “Do your best and the Lord will do the rest.” This work is the Lord’s work and not ours. We need to have patience with ourselves and others. We have patience because we have hope that everything is going to work out. It helped me out a lot to study this. Afterwards, we went out to lunch at a place called Sugar and Spice. I have been wanting to go to this place for 6 months. I got chicken strips and a lot of fries. Then we had a lesson with David. We made a little paper for him of the things that tempt him or are making things hard, and then we made an action plan for him. What he is going to do when those things happen. Later, we taught English class and Niko came (the guy we met last week). It was awesome! We tried to have a lesson with Daniel, but Millie said she couldn’t make it. So we thought why not get ice cream and do it in a restaurant. Everything was closed!! We ended up waiting forever in a Wendy’s drive thru to get Daniel his first frosty ever. He had an idea to go to WaffleHouse because it is open 24 hours. The one we went to was of course closed. Some old people drove up and looked at us and we all did the I don’t know motion. That was like a living meme. Daniel tried his frosty while standing outside by our car. We were so proud of him when he told the other people that drove up that it was closed in english!</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Wednesday we went and met Hno. Ivan Chirolla. Some of our plans fell through so we didn’t know what to do. We prayed and felt like we should go and visit him. He was very nice, and gave us some names that we should visit! One was a lady who is a member who wants to go to church in Spanish. Then we went to dinner with Daniel. We went to a place called The Pizza Inn. We ate so much. We finished teaching Daniel the Plan of Salvation with a little activity/representation that I have. He loved it and is so grateful for this greater knowledge that he has now. After that we went and visited Maria and Carlos. They have that cat named Paco. Apparently we were supposed to eat dinner with them. We didn’t know that, so we ate second dinner. We ate fried chicken, tuna or chicken salad sandwich, potato chips, and pumpkin pie. Hna. Marvin was dying. We started talking about life and their health problems. Carlos has survived 3 heartattacks, dang. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We had apartment inspections on Thursday! I have never had this happen ever on my mission. We keep our apartments clean, but don’t deep clean every week. We spent so much time cleaning, but we passed! Our apartment looked too clean like we didn’t even live in it. Later, we went and visited some people. After that, we caroled as a district to people. It was so much fun. “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear.” -Elf To finish our night, we taught English class to Santiago. We learned lots of new words for Christmas things in Spanish.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Friday was so much fun. It was La Nochebuena which means Christmas Eve. We went and visited Zuhura one of the elder’s recent converts. We told her we’d bring brownies. Well we didn’t have time to make them. So I made the mix in the car and put it in a pan hoping she had an oven that worked. I had received Cosmic brownies from a friend so I grabbed those as a backup. Well Zuhura’s oven is anciet. She told us that it lights on fire, so we at the other brownies I brought. Afterwards, we went and saw the Kitchens. Sister Kitchen gave us each a South Carolina ornament. She was explaining some of hers when she slipped and keeled into the tree. She disappeared between the tree in the couch. She was alright and we got a good laugh out of that. Later, we planned for our upcoming week. For dinner, we had Barbacoa and rice with the Mejias. They are awesome and invited David and Daniel to come. It was super fun and the food was delicious. I ate a super spicy pepper. Hna. Marvin tried it on meat and couldn’t take the heat. Then David challenged me to eat another one. We both did it and he couldn’t take it either. Hna. Mejia said I have become a Mexican during my time out here. We ate Tres Leches because it was Laura’s birthday. It was really good. I want to learn how to make it. Afterwards, we went over to Maria and Yolandas house. We then snacked on appetizers. It was the fanciest spread I have seen in my entire life. I ate smoked gouda cheese and this weird salt cured meat which means it wasn’t cooked. We got full again and ate a lot of the things. We talked about Christ’s birth and how he needs to be the center of our lives.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Saturday was Christmas!!! Most of the people didn’t want to have lessons. Hna. Marvin and I opened our presents and called our families. Then we baked like crazy. We baked cookies, brownies, and cinnamon rolls (from a pack). We packed everything in the car and then went to dinner. The Tilleys had us and the Elders over. We ate chicken, potatoes and gravy, rice, and spinnach artichoke dip. It was good! I miss mashed potatoes and gravy. Then we went and delivered all the things that we made earlier. We sang to some people too. As we were on our way to visit someone I felt my stomach drop. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t know if we were unsafe or if we shouldn’t visit the family. We pulled over and prayed and felt that we needed to go to Greer. We were told that some missionaries were feeling super sad and depressed. So we went to go comfort them. We got there and they were fine. So then we thought to visit some people in Greer. I remembered a name, the lady Hno. Chirolla told us about. We both felt like we should visit her. So we went to find her. We get to the apartment complex, but realize it didn’t say which building or room. We called her and she didn’t answer. We called again and I was praying so hard that she would answer… she did. She told us where she lived and came out to meet us. We went in to her apartment and got to know her. She really wants to go to church in Spanish and feel accepted. She told us that the night before she had been thinking about church. She said in her prayer that she didn’t know what to do, and then we showed up the next day. It is really cool how our Heavenly Father is aware of us and answers our prayers. All these things happened which led to us finding her. Her son is adorable and he made us a little dinosaur soap. Another cool thing is that they are a part-member family. We invited her to church and she is super excited to come. She didn’t end up making it, but her ride now has more than a nights notice. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Yesterday was an awesome day! It was our Christmas Sacrament meeting. Hna. Marving translated (her first time!!!), so it was kind of nice because I got to relax. Daniel, David, and Santiago came! It was Santiago’s first time! The music was beautiful and peaceful. We read Luke 2 and then sang the songs that go with the scriptures. Church will now be at 9am, so that is going to be rough when we have our early meetings. During lunch, Hna. Marvin and I both took naps. I felt like I could sleep forever. Then we went and visited some people, but they weren’t there. Hna. Marvin “stole” a golf ball. She said, “It was out of the net.” She got me one too. Afterwards, we went and had a lesson with Daniel in a park. It was in the Greer Park, which is one of my favorites out here. He wasn’t there yet, so we set out to hand out english class cards. I saw this one guy before we parked and felt like we should talk to him. I went up and gave him a card. His name is Jose and he wants to learn english and have us teach him the gospel! It was awesome. Then we taught Daniel about the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is learning and retaining so much. He is going to pray about baptism. After that, we went and dropped off cookies and a note to someone. They didn’t open the door because we passed by their house 4 times. We couldn’t find it in the dark, so they thought we were kind of sketchy. To end the night, we had Zone family home evening and shared our favorite scriptures. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Here is one of the talks that I love by President Monson.

When we got there Abby wasn't even there. She was spending Christmas eve at her mom's house this year I guess. So we were kinda bummed out that we weren't going to be able to share a message with her! So dinner ended up being just me and my two companions, and Sister Ware (Abby's gma). And you could never guess what we had!! Chili dogs!! I was not too pumped. It was my first Christmas not at home, and I didn't have the privilege of my mom's cooking. Right away I just felt homesick. In my head I was thinking, * are you kidding? I have to eat some chili dogs, and chips for my Christmas dinner with some lady I barely know! I'm in a pretty rough house and its Christmas Eve! This sucks, I cannot believe this is how I'm spending my Christmas Eve * </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Those thoughts were just filling my head. I remember feeling the urge to just start to cry. It was rough in the moment I'm not gonna lie. But then I remember just saying a little prayer, and just thinking about the REAL reason that I'm out here. I started thinking about why would our Heavenly Father want me here on Christmas Eve. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Instantly I was filled with empathy. It was like a light turned on in me. All of those terrible thoughts had left my head. This sweet old lady had prepared a dinner for us on Christmas Eve. She had given it all that she had and set the table the best she could. Her husband wasn't even there he was out doing other things! She had no one but us on Christmas Eve. She would have spent that night alone if it wasn't for us showing up. What an honor that someone would even invite us over for Christmas Eve! She even baked us some bread for us to eat as well. Now the real happy tears wanted to come out. I know I'm a soft guy when it comes to crying but I held it in don't worry hahaha. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Sometimes we lose sight of what really matters. Sometimes we get off the trail and wander off to selfish thoughts. Sometimes we get lost in knots that the devil tied us up in. Sometimes we let go of that iron rod. But I promise as we look towards God in all things and always have a prayer in our hearts we will be able to focus on what really matters! This is a Christmas Eve I won't ever forget. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">It was so awesome.

David took us out to WaffleHouse for breakfast. He gave us handmade Christmas cards. He showed us a picture of how he hung up our peppermint hot chocolate thing for a decoration in his studio. Later, we went and said goodbye to the missionaries that were leaving to a different area or to go home. Then we went to the doctors for Hna. Marvin. She wasn’t doing great. She got an ear infection! The pharmacy took forever to get her antibiotic. To end the night we did a video call with Jose Luis and met two of his friends. One of them sat in on the call named Sergio. They both want to come to church!!</span></span></p><span style="color: #990000;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #990000;">It was nice Thursday morning to not have to drive to transfers. Packing would’ve taken forever, I have made this apartment my home. Hna. Maxfield told us that she needed another mattress because she just got in a trio. So we spent about an hour switching Hna. Marvin’s bed frame, taking down the other bed frame, and shoving it, a table, and a mattress into our car. We were exhausted by the end of that. Two sickies trying to move things. We stopped by and said hi to Milvian on the way to english class. Ana, Debra, and Leo finally came again! We were able to tell them about the ward Christmas party. Debra is 11 and was fascinated by me playing the piano. So I taught her how to play a couple of things. It was really fun.</span></span></p><span style="color: #990000;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #990000;">On Friday, we went and had a lesson with Angel and Caren. It went really well. They still want to get baptized but they aren’t coming to church. Afterwards, we went and worked more on our spreadsheet for people born out of the United States. We are super excited to go and visit these people. Then we went to visit the Sanchez fam. Mariola really wants to come to church. We told her we would help her out with that. We are going to try and have her follow us to church next week. After that, we raced to the Ward Christmas Party 45 minutes away. There were a lot of people there. David brought Jose Luis, Sergio, and two of their friends. Daniel, Ana, Debra, and Johany and her family were there. It was awesome! The food was delicious. I sat at the table with the four guys and tried to spark a conversation. They were very quiet. The only one that would really respond was Sergio in Spanglish. Here is a funny story: I was sleeping when I woke up to this awful smell. I fell asleep and thought nothing of it until it woke me up again. I found our febreeze and sprayed down the room. I thought geeze what is that smell?, it's not me so there is only one other option... Hna. Marvin. She actually woke up while I was spraying it. Then we both went back to bed. It happened again and woke me up! It was terrible and I couldn’t freaking breathe and I could taste it!! I did not enjoy this experience. We gotta watch what she is eating because it will kill me one day. (She gave me permission to share this. She cracks up so hard and can’t breathe when I bring it up.)</span></span></p><span style="color: #990000;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #990000;">We did a lot of contacting on Saturday and then we went to Inman Ward’s Christmas party. We legit got invited by Santa the day before. He told us that he had invited some Spanish people to this one. We got there and kind of “crashed” the party. The Spanish people never showed up, which was sad, but we got dinner and a show. It was a great way to spend our dinner hour. They had a band that played Christmas music and it was awesome. It was my first concert. After that, we went and visited Ana and Leo. Ana was really sick, so we said a prayer for her and said we would be in touch. Then we went and visited Elida and her family. They were about to leave, so we rescheduled for Sunday. On the way home we got Krispy Kremes. It has become our place to go when they cancel. We have been quite a few times. While we were driving home Hna. Marvin saw some homeless people, so we flipped around to give them our doughnuts. I had already bit mine, so we ripped that part off. We gave them the doughnuts and left because it was pretty sketchy.</span></span></p><span style="color: #990000;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #990000;">Yesterday was a really great day. I translated sacrament meeting and it wasn’t too bad. Hna. Marvin got asked 30 minutes before church to give a talk. She was not expecting that, but she did great. There were 5 speakers that spoke for 5-7 minutes each. Daniel, Martin, the Huipe fam., and Yadira and her kids came. It was a little miracle. During Sunday school we talked about The Family: A Proclamation to the World. Families are a really important part of our Heavenly Father’s plan for us. I am grateful that I have my family and the knowledge of eternal families. I am so grateful that I have been blessed with the opportunity to share my knowledge of that with others. We got some snacks after church. It was bribery to sing in the choir, but we had a lesson. Salvador wasn’t there, but his mom was. We were able to teach her on the porch and we are going back next week. After that, we went to go find this guy Mauricio. We had the address and when we pulled up, we realized we didn’t have the apartment number. We prayed and then proceeded to knock the whole building. We felt like knocking the 3rd floor. On the 7th door we met a guy named Nyckole. He is from Puerto Rico. He said he had heard of our English Classes before. He wants to come! We got his number and we gave him a pamphlet. He told us he would like to learn more about the gospel. We knocked the 2nd floor and nothing. Doors opened but they weren’t a Spanish guy. On the 1st floor we met this guy named Bobby. He was super nice and we are going to call him and do a study. After we finished we drove to this other address. It was a Maria I had visited before. She is a member, but is going back to her old church. She is super nice and we are going back later this week. Her cat Paco is hilarious and fat (pic down below). Then we raced home for a little snack and then to our lesson with Daniel. He is doing so great and has such a desire to learn. Millie has such a strong testimony and it is helping him. He is understanding the gospel more and it is cool watching the change happen in him! He has lots of questions. To end the night, we went and taught Elida and her family. We gave her son Daniel and Amanda their own Bibles. They are excited to dive straight in. </span></span></p><span style="color: #990000;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #990000;">We watched The Christ Child tonight. It is a really neat video. As I was watching it, I thought of how much faith the shepards and the wisemen must of had. The shepards listened to the things that the angel told them. Instead of disregarding it, they left the sheep and the lambs to look for the babe lying in a manger. Al Caroway said that they left their lambs unprotected to find the Lamb that was more important. The wisemen must have studied the scriptures and were well versed on the sign’s of the Savior’s birth. In Matthew 2:11 it says, “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.” These three gifts are very valuable, but the gift of Christ is of an infinite value. I am so grateful that we have the opportunity to celebrate his birth, but even more to celebrate his life.</span></span></p><span style="color: #990000;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #990000;">Hna.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Once again,
another year has come and gone. We have
so many new memories and blessings to be thankful for.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"><span style="color: red;">Ethan still has
only two volumes- loud and louder. We
still have to remind him that we can hear him from a mile away and to use his
inside voice. You would think we would
have figured out by now that his inside voice is still extremely loud. Maybe we need to tell him to just think about
what he wants to say and I am sure we would still be able to hear him- ha
ha. Ethan was excited to turn 13 this
year. He has been counting the days to
be able to finally get to watch PG-13 movies.
Now all he wants to do is watch Avenger movies. Needless to say, I am sick of super heroes
and infinity stones, because his list of Avenger movies is infinite!! Ethan continues to grow, and grow. Almost daily he walks past me, pats me on the
head, and reminds me of how tiny I am. The
funny part is that he is only like an inch taller than me!!! What’s crazier is the fact that Ryan did this
to me when he was this age as well.
Another similarity of Ryan and Ethan is their fascination with arm pit
hair. Ryan was so excited for the “hope”
of arm pit hair and now I am reliving this again as Ethan weekly tries to show
me he has some. Sorry bud, not yet. I don’t think a magnifying glass would find
any either- ha ha. Ethan loves being in
the 7<sup>th</sup> grade. He reminds me every
time we pass his old elementary school how stupid it was and how cool it is to
be in Jr. High. (Adam then reminds him
about how stupid Jr. High is and that high school is better and the fight is on!!!) Ethan was so proud to get a 4.0. and annoys
me by checking his grades daily (and sometimes even more) on his Chromebook. A few weeks ago, Ethan and a friend were
wrestling and he told me that his friend jumped on his face and his jaw
popped. I brushed this aside, as we all know
kids whine and complain when it is convenient.
It wasn’t until about an hour later he looked at me and sure enough his
entire jaw was swollen and he looked like he had been stung by a bee. Woops, I guess he was right this time!! Ethan was also so excited to get braces this
year. We warned him they weren’t
fun. The next day he decided we were
right and now the count down for them to come off has begun!!! Sadly, or should I say, most annoyedly, his brackets
keep popping off and we have to go to the orthodontist way too often to fix
them. Here is a helpful fact to note-
when your brother pushes your face into the net on the trampoline, it will get
stuck on your braces and cause your brackets to get pulled off.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Adam is in the 10<sup>th</sup>
grade and was not as excited as Ethan to start school this fall. He too continues to grow, however, he doesn’t
pat me on the head when he walks past me.
He is at the age where he won’t come anywhere near me. I have to actually had to bribe him to give
me a hug. He started driving and hopes
to get his license next spring. I am
still hoping we survive his driving and make it to the spring. Just kidding.
He is actually a pretty good driver.
I think this is due to the fact that he was with us while driving with
Jaime and remembers all those near-death experiences. Adam can easily consume 5,000 calories a day
and still lose weight. He eats before
each meal, consumes the meal and then heads to the cupboard for more food right
after he eats. We have actually started
hiding treats from him so he won’t eat everything in sight. The winner of the stinkiest feet in the world
is now not a title that Adam holds.
Ethan has now been passed this torch, not that this is necessarily a
good thing for us. Not only do Ethan’s
feet stink, his friend’s feet stink when they come over. I can be known to get out a can of Lysol and
spray down both Ethan and his friend’s feet.
Back to Adam, he enjoyed being on the track team in the spring. It was fun to go to the meets and watch him
participate in the long jump, high jump, and hurdles. He did very well and even placed in
Regions. Adam can jump 5’6”. That’s like him running and jumping over my
head. Needless to say, I never let him
practice on me, as I am sure he would have fun missing on purpose. But we do watch him jump over our fences in
the backyard. He’s crazy. I have mentioned that it will hurt when he
doesn’t clear them. He apparently has
found that out a few times on his own.
We refer to his as a gazelle (not always a graceful one). Adam comes in handy when I need to him to jump
up into the loft in the garage and get something. He doesn’t even need to use the ladder. Even though his is really skinny, he is
pretty strong. It’s nice to have some
free labor to carry heavy things- this helps make up for all food he eats. It’s so nice to still have a few kids around
so I can make them do the things around the house that I do not want to do- ha
ha. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"><span style="color: red;">Jaime turned 20
this year. In February she was injured
on her mission and had to come home for a few months to heal. She had a collision with an Elder while playing
basketball and broke her collar bone.
Poor girl. The Elder lives in Ogden-
only 20 minutes from our house. I joked
that he owes us some yard work when he gets home- JK. Sadly, this is the third time she has had a
broken collar bone in her life- the 5<sup>th</sup> for our family. (Apparently, Mike’s family genes produced faulty
collarbones, because it definitely didn’t come from my side- ha ha.) Jaime returned to her mission in July and should
be home this June. She loves serving the
people in South Carolina. She not only
loves the people, but also the food. At
times it’s hard to believe she is in the United States, and not in South America,
with all the unusual things she tries.
She would deny it, but she is doing very well at speaking Spanish. Adam
is also taking Spanish in high school; they look forward to talking about their
parents in Spanish when she gets home. We are very proud of Jaime and the influence
she is having on other’s lives. I miss
her a lot, but do not miss her messy room. I go into her room often and bask in
the fact that her room is still clean.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Ryan would be
23. It’s hard to believe that next May
will mark ten years since he left us. We
love him so much and think of him often.
We still go to the cemetery to let off balloons and wear orange to honor
him. We know we will be with him again
someday, and can’t wait to find out what he has been up to all this time.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"><span style="color: red;">Alex and Kelsie
moved to North Ogden this past spring.
It is nice to have them closer. I
am especially thankful Kelsie is around so I am not alone with all these darn
boys- JK. Alex has decided to become a
plumber and is going to night school for it.
We are very proud of him and the fact that he is getting good
grades. We are so excited he is now
Kelsie’s problem and that we do not have to ground him and make him do his
homework- Ha ha!! Alex has two horses
and loves to hunt. This fall he was able
to kill his first deer (poor Bambi). He
had some exciting times while hunting and had a mountain lion in his camp one
evening. Yikes. I was reading an article about the deadliest
animals in Utah and a mountain lion was at the top. It also said that encounters were very rare
and not to worry. This goes to show that
Alex has bad luck and solidifies the fact that I will never go in the ocean
with him because with my luck a shark would get us. Kelsie is a CNA and works
at McKay Dee hospital, as well as goes to school. They both definitely stay busy. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">One of the
happiest days of my life occurred this spring as I finally graduated from
college. I earned, with sweat and lots and
lots of tears, my degree from BYU-Idaho online in Marriage and Family
Studies. It feels great to be done. Now, I have so much more time to watch tv and
have naps. I only wish Mike traveled
more so he wouldn’t see me taking these naps so often- thus making me feel
guilty and needing to practice some of the things I have learned in my marriage
classes. Presently, I have decided not
to pursue a career because at the moment I am raking in the dough with a new financial
venture of mine. I have started charging
the boys money when they forget to clean their rooms, do their chores, and when
they leave things lying around the house.
Needless to say, I have already made enough to go on a really nice trip-
JK. And speaking of trips, Mike and I
have finally made it to all 50 states.
In November, we marked the last two off our list. The last state was Alabama. I thought it would be nice to walk hand in
hand across the state line together.
Mike thought he should get to cross it first because he has gone on all
of these crazy trips to random states with me all these years. So, we both started walking (not hand in
hand) towards the state line and then we both sped up and made a run for
it. So much for being romantic. I am not sure who crossed it first. I say it was a tie; Mike says he won. I should have tripped him when I had the
chance!! JK.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"><span style="color: red;">Mike has still
been working from home. He can not wait
to start traveling again because he is sick of having to wake me up from my
many naps. He looks forward to now going

He is also glad I am done with school so I am not so stressed out, do
not cry as much, and do not practice all the things I am learning in my
marriage classes on him because I have to write a paper about it. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">We love you all and
hope you found joy in your lives as 2021 comes to an end. May you find ways to “dance” though the
storms that come your way in 2022. I
hope we can all be a little kinder, a little more grateful, a little less busy
this coming year, and spend our time in ways that really matter. I am so thankful for this time of year and
all the “Joys” of the season. I am so
thankful for a sweet, tiny babe born in a manger. This tiny babe gives meaning and joy to
life. This tiny babe loves us all
unconditionally. This tiny babe is the
Reason for the Season.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

It was pretty fun! I am not very good while we are playing an actual game. Sometimes when we threw the ax it would bounce back a little towards us like a boomer-rang. We didn’t really like that. After that, we did some training for Hna. Marvin and went and printed off some family names for the temple. The lady over Family History said that the printer is broken… it’s not. I went Macgyver on it and it totally works.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Tuesday we woke up bright and early to go to the temple. We have been waiting for this for about a month (I have been waiting for it for about 14 months.) I miscalculated the amount of time that it would take us to get there, so we were running 15 minutes late. Then we noticed that we were really really low on gas. We decided to try and make it there without getting gas. We would’ve made it if not for the unexpected traffic. We got off the freeway quickly and got gas. We made it in time for the pictures and everything worked out. We were there for 5 hours and it was a really special experience. There is just a peace that comes over you when you are in the temple. In the Celestial Room, I started reading in the Bible in 2 Peter 1:3-8 it says, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: (4) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (5) And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and virtue knowledge; (6) And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; (7) And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. (8) For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” What stood out to me is that I need to be more diligent to receive all of these things. We have been promised so many things all we have to do is what is asked of us. I am so glad that I was able to go. I can’t wait until I can go again. They said in another six months, so I might get to go! President Monson came up to us after and said that we need to wait another 6 months before David can get baptized. I was super sad about that. I just want him to have all the blessings and happiness that he can, but I understand why. It will happen, just not when I am here. After that, we went and had dinner with the Shivelys. They made us homemade chicken pot pie and peach cobbler. It was really good and I ate way too much. Then we went and taught English Class </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Wednesday morning we went out to lunch with Brother Bright. He took us to Wade’s again and I got turkey with cornbread dressing (gravy). It was pretty good. I was very full and then we had dessert. We had this giant slice of Peanut Butter Pie. It sounds weird, but it was delicious. Afterwards, we followed him to the mall and he bought us a Clemson hoodie. It was more than I would’ve paid for it. He told us it was our Christmas present and to not tell the elders about it. After that we went and had a little lesson with Natali. She’s the lady that we met at Virginia’s house. She is super nice and has an adorable daughter. Her hair was a little poofy afro. We were able to drink a healthy drink that tasted like peach rings and share the gospel with a lady who spoke English there. Afterwards we went and found two ladies to start teaching that are neighbors. We aren’t sure how interested they are, but we’ll find out soon. Then we had a great lesson with Milvian. She read the pamphlet! She loved learning about Joseph Smith and the restored gospel. Right after that we taught Jerlinson and Natalie. Jerlinson doesn’t really want to change his opinions or interpretations of the scriptures. We talked about the Fall of Adam. The Fall is viewed most of the time as a bad thing, but it isn’t. If they hadn’t fallen no one would be here, we wouldn’t have the opportunity to progress and make it back to our Heavenly Father. To end the night, we went and had dinner with Marla and Martin. We ate Carne Asada with rice, beans, and tortillas. It went really well and we heard the funniest story ever. Their son was in church and was being told a story about service. The guy in the service was helping a lady fix her flat tire, so he went and got his Gato from the car. (The son didn’t know that in Mexico it also means car jack.) Their son just started cracking up during this story that was supposed to be spiritual. I just imagined this cat getting smacked against the floor while saying, “meow! meow! meow!” Martin started dying of laughter and had to leave to go outside 6 times to compose himself. We were all laughing hysterically. It was a great way to end the day. Martin also said he would start reading the Book of Mormon.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We had a combined Zone DCM. We got together as a zone and went over some things and then we split up into our separate districts. We talked about extending invitations and why we do it. Most people won’t change their lives for the better without an invitation to do so. By inviting people to pray, read their scriptures, serve others etc. is inviting them to repentance and change through Christ. Afterwards, we went to lunch at this Chinese buffet. I abhor Chinese buffets here. They are all the same and the food is cold. Hna. Marvin said, “It’s alright.” Her fortune cookie said, “Turn your scars into stars.” We weren’t expecting that. Then we went and visited some more people before we went to the Mejias. They fed us Spaghetti which is funny because they prefer Mexican food. They only do it for their daughter, which is cute. After that, we went to Bella’s house and I paid for that Chinese food. I tried Flounder and I probably shouldn’t have. I was in her bathroom for 15-20 minutes, while Hna. Marvin was trying to hold a conversation. This only solidified more my dislike for Chinese food. Bella is leaving on a trip to Mexico for a month, so I don’t know if this will be the last time I will see her for a while. She is going to keep studying while she is gone. Then we raced to English Class and taught it. Alex told us too, that he is leaving for a month. He said that he is going to bring us back souvenirs for helping him. We told him he didn’t have to but he is determined. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Friday, we did our weekly planning and then went and had a lesson with David. We taught him about the covenant we make when we are baptized and told him that he has to wait another six months. He said he knew that that was coming and is okay with it. He still wants to be baptized and is going to keep preparing. After that, we went and taught Milvian about the Book of Mormon. She loved it! She wants to read it and learn more! Ashley loves her Book of Mormon Stories one. Then we went to dinner at Cicis Pizza. Hna. Ramirez said she paid for us and that we could just go in. We expected that she would be there waiting for us, but they weren't. First member lesson I've been to where the member wasn't even there. But it was still a lot of fun. Hna. Marvin and I ate a lot of pizza and enjoyed life. Then we went over and taught Mariola Sanchez. We also taught her about the Book of Mormon and she is excited to read it as well. We also taught the Huipes about it and they are going to start reading as a family. To end the night we had a really long call with Santiago. I thought we hadn’t contacted him yet so I called him. As it was ringing, I realized he had called us the other day. He wants us to start teaching him about the gospel now. When the call was ringing I thought about hanging up, but I didn’t. I knew that I had the thought to call him for a reason.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Saturday morning we went and visited a person on our born out of the U.S. list. Her mom answered the door and was just the sweetest thing ever. She told us all about her family. She wants to come to church, but for health reasons she can’t. She asked if we could come back later when her daughter was ready. So we went to the Pulga (the Flea market) to advertise for English Class. We met Maria who was selling all this Mexican candy. We set up a call for the next day. We found a lot of people that are interested in the classes. I bought some good old goat milk caramel suckers. I tried something really interesting called Boiled Peanuts. You pretty much boil peanuts for 10 hours and then voila (if I spelled that right). They are actually really good. They have the constistency of beans because they just disolve in your mouth. Afterwards, we went and visited Hna. Zapata. She made us this yummy drink which I got the recipe for. We talked about the temple and she really wants to go back. After that we went and had dinner with the Salinas family. They also made carne asada. It was delicious! I am loving all the meat that we are eating. They gave us two referrals! We are going to go visit them during the next week. Then Nicolás didn’t answer the phone for his lesson… his brother did (but we didn't realize that). His brother said, “Mi hermano ya durmió.” We heard, “Mi hermano ya murió ” So we were thinking that Nicholás’s brother had died for a second before we realized we were talking to him on the phone.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Yesterday was awesome. We had our separate Spanish sacrament meeting. I played the piano and Hna. Marvin was the chorister. David, Daniel, a guy named Israel, and Martin came! When Martin came in my mouth almost dropped. We don’t think he has been to church before, or it has just been a very long time. It was a miracle! (If you get the title of my email I will be very happy. It is a classic!) Brother Bright gave us back the guitar with new strings after church. I am still trying to figure out how to play and read notes. It will be a long process, but it is a lot of fun. After that we went and visited some people, and went to a 1 yr. old’s birthday party for Heidy and Manuel’s son Yahir. It was a giant party. So many Hispanics and they were all from her side of the family. We had some good food, but had to leave. Hispanics don’t rush their parties, they take as long as they want. Right after that, we went and had dinner with the Tilleys. As we pulled up we called Nicholás back and he told us that he is moving to Greenville. We won’t be able to teach him anymore which is sad, but hopefully the elders over there will be able to help him. Brother Tilley made this Moroccan chili that was good. One of it’s ingredients was raisins. We had prepped a family home evening lesson for them and they surprised us with their own lesson. We got taught instead of them. It was like the Platinum member meal package with dessert and all. We talked about the hard things we had overcome during this past year and how we want to improve. I want to be more Christlike and see the good in everything. For the game we played Snorta and ate ice cream. We listened to the Christmas Devotional on the way home and then called Maria from the Pulga. We talked about prayer and how our Heavenly Father always hears us. She wants to learn even more. After that, we called Santiago and taught him the same thing. He really wants to come to church. We are going to give him a Bible and do a lesson in person! </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">-Here are two quotes from Brother Bright:</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">“Obedience brings blessings, exact obedience brings exaltation.”</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">“When Satan tries to remind us of our past, remind him of his future.”</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">-One from David:</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We told David to say someone is a jerk instead of the “a” word.

Sorry that this is getting out so late. Hna. Marvin got an ear infection so we were at the doctors and then figuring out a pharmacy fiasco. Some good news… I’m staying for another 7 weeks!!! Hna. Marvin has to deal with me for even longer! We are so glad that we are still companions and that we get to keep working in this area together.</span></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Last Monday was pretty mellow. We played some chair soccer. We went to wash our car and the car wash was closed. They had changed their hours…so we washed it in a ghetto one. It was funny! My vacuum broke and so I was just smacking the floor mat like the olden days. Then we went and knocked on a door in a gated community. They didn’t answer, but watched us through their doorbell. To end the night, we made lemon bars and peanut butter bars.</span></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #274e13;">We had our Christmas Zone Conference on Tuesday. We took our dessert and left bright and early. It was with half of the missionaries in my mission (5 zones). It was super fun and I learned a lot. President Monson gave us a training on faith. When the Israelites were trying to cross the river Jordan, the miracle of the water parting didn’t happen until they put their feet in (Joshua 3:7-17). Faith is a word of action. We have faith for miracles, but do we have the faith to act. Faith is very powerful if we have the courage to act. I love the scripture D&C 9:7-8, “(7) Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me. (8) But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right." Sister Monson said a quote, “Faith comes and revelations are received as a direct result of scripture study.” That is so true. We grow our faith as we study and we receive answers to our prayers and questions as we read the scriptures. After that, we ate a Thanksgiving-like lunch, frosted cookies for a competition, and had a talent show. It was really fun. I played the piano and got to enjoy great music and jokes. When it got over, we drove two hours to teach English Class. One of the ladies we teach is interested in learning about the gospel!</span></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #274e13;">On Wednesday we went to go visit Natali, and she wasn’t there. The next 3 people we visited weren’t home either. We had this address of a member who lived by, so we went over. She let us in and she is super nice. We told her about church being in Spanish. She gave us 5-6 other Spanish speaking members that can help us out. We didn’t even have to ask. After that, we had a quick lesson with Heidy and set up a dinner. Then we raced to our actual dinner. Sister Ronson made us beef roast pot pie. It was the most delicious pot pie I have ever eaten. It just melted in my mouth. I am excited to get the recipe. Out on my mission, I have met a lot of people who have went through some very hard things. They told me and I was dumb founded. Even through all that, they are still strong in the gospel and won’t leave behind their testimony. Sister Ronson and Hermana Millie Sanchez are two of these people. I admire them and want to hold on to my testimony like them. Later, we went and visited Jerlinson. We helped him put up his curtains and taught him about The Book of Mormon and overcoming our trials through Jesus Christ. He seemed really interested in reading the part where Christ visits the Ancient Americas after his resurrection.</span></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #274e13;">We had a great lesson with Milvian on Thursday. We read her the story about the stripling warriors in the Book of Mormon. The young men had strong testimonies because their mothers did and had taught them to choose the right. The spirit was strong! Afterwards, we went to a Relief Society activity. It was a Christmas activity with a program. Hna. Marvin and I translated it. Marla, Hna. Ramirez, and Johany came to it. I now know it is much easier to translate things into Spanish when what is going to be said is written down in front of me. It is a lot less stressful than when I hear things and translate them. They food was good, and so was that activity. After it was over we quickly went and caroled to one house. She wasn’t home so we sang Noche de Luz to a closed door. Then we raced back to the church to teach English Class. Santiago told us that he would be coming and had gotten a ride. Lo and behold, his ride was Nicolas’s cousin Nicolas Domingo. We totally already knew him. We taught them English and then about the Book of Mormon. They loved it! We are excited to keep teaching them.</span></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #274e13;">On Friday, we went out to lunch with Sister Jeffery and Peterson, our STLs. We went out to Olive Garden. It was a bit pricey, but honestly all restaurants are costing around $10 a meal. It was really good. I had been craving my Chicken & Gnocchi soup and breadsticks for the past 2 months. My little dream came true. Then we did some training, and then had dinner. A mistake on our part to eat such a late lunch, but we survived. Hna. Ramirez fed us chicken with potatoes, tortillas, and this creamy spaghetti. It was good, but I was sooo full. After that, we went and met Carmen, and it turns out she is Marla’s sister. We did not know that, but we are going to start visiting her more often. Later, we went and visited Elida’s house again, and they were finally home. I have been visiting this lady’s house for 4 months and they have never been there. We were able to get to know them better, and set up another appointment. Her daughter is interested in possibly getting baptized. To end the night, Hna. Marvin used the perks of our vaccine cards and got Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I don’t like shots and needles, but I do like doughnuts.</span></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Saturday morning we went and visited Maria from last Saturday. She was ready today, so we were able to talk to her. She speaks Spanish and English. She moved to the U.S. when she was 2. The thing that fascinates me is that she is blond and blue eyed but Hispanic. I think that it is really cool. You would never know that she speaks fluent spanish. Never judge a book by its cover. She invited us over for Christmas Eve. Then we had an amazing lesson with Daniel. Millie came with us and we taught him the whole restoration. The spirit was so strong, and it was honestly one of the best lessons that I have had in a long time. It helped that we came prepared with our lesson and ready to listen to the Spirit. We were able to find out Daniel wants to know more about the Apostasy and wants something more. Inspired questions helped us out. He is very quiet and doesn’t open up very often. After that, we had a lesson with David. He gave us some churros and we talked about how to overcome our suffering and temptations through Christ. It isn’t easy, but it is possible. For dinner, our plans changed up a little bit. We didn’t go out with the Shivelys, but met them at Bishop’s house. We all ate take out from Papas and Beer. The street tacos were pretty good. I asked bishop, “How often do you have tacos and beer?” He looked at me and said, “I’ve never had that before.” I said the wrong thing. I said tacos instead of papas. It was pretty funny and we all got a good laugh out of that. We shared with them a story of some people who converted to Jesus Christ. They took all of their idols and threw them into a giant waterfall. They didn’t put them in the shallows where they could get them back again. They put them in a place where they weren’t retrievable. We need to take the things holding us back and throw them into a waterfall. After that, we caroled to the Colecio family and gave Hna. Colecio cookies. She let us hold her puppies!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Here is the link to the talk.

David and Daniel came to church. I had a really humbling experience. I was translating sacrament meeting and the sacrament was getting passed. I realized halfway through the water that they forgot to give me the bread. Then they forgot to give me the water. I tried to get their attention, but it didn’t work. I got super sad and emotional because I was so excited to take it. I had a hard time not bawling, but I had to choke it back to translate. I was able to get it after sacrament meeting was over because I ran up and explained what happened. I now know even more how much the sacrament means to me. I don’t want to put myself through this experience again by not going to church. We need to sacrament to renew our covenants with Jesus Christ. After church, we found a new part member family that we are going to visit. We found another family that is super nice. It was funny because the dad didn’t come to the door. He sent out his little daughter to come talk to us. We spoke to her in Spanish and then the dad came to the door. We are going back next Sunday to see them. On the way to the Baker’s house, we stopped and talked to a guy walking down the street. It took some crazy turns, but now we have his number. At the Baker’s house we had dinner and then made candy cane cookies. It was a long process, but a lot of fun. I have found out that I really hate almond flavor/extract. It is disgusting and these cookies had it. We took some cookies to our lesson with Elida that night. We officially have permission to teach her kids and it is great!! </span></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Monday morning we woke up bright and early again to drive to Columbia, except we had Spanish Conference this time. We learned how to work better with the Hispanic people out here. We dove into the pattern of apostasies in the Bible and what God does with his prophets. It will really help out during teaching. We ate this weird pita bread tacos and played apples to apples. By the time we got home it was late. We felt like we needed to visit Johany, so we did.

The problem was I was going to teach the discussion for DCM. We were a little bit late, but everything worked out. I focused on CH. 2 in Preach My Gospel. We talked about the importance of personal study. It is important here on the mission, but it is just as important after. I am excited to start improving my own studies and work to getting the most out of them. For lunch, I had a CookOut oreo cheesecake shake. It was interesting, but good. After that, we went to teach the part member family. We had about an hour before the lesson when we got there. So we did some training and contacting. Hna. Marvin parked at Target and we proceeded to watch some training videos. I kept falling asleep and crying because my sinuses were so full that they were pushing out the tears. When we went to her house, Mayra wasn’t there, so we called her and rescheduled. She is going to feed us this Saturday. We fed a stray cat and continued on to our lesson with Milivian. It was such a good lesson. We taught her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I got the feeling to invite her to be baptized. I was nervous, but did it anyway. She accepted! and wants to be baptized on her birthday Feb. 6th!! It was a really neat experience. She is such a sweet lady and we just want her to be even happier. For dinner, Heidy took us out to Texas Roadhouse. I got a 12 oz. Ribeye, chili, and a loaded baked potato. It was delicious! I absolutely love free food. We raced to English Class and only Daniel was there. We taught him that, and then had another lesson with Millie. It went really well.</span></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Something funny that happened: We were telling David that Hna.

We got together as a zone and had a Thanksgiving potluck. We brought potato salad and normal salad. The rest of the food was mashed potatoes, gravy, mac and cheese, rolls, chick-fil-a chicken nuggets, southern shock mtn. dew from KFC, Jarritos (Mexican sodas), and dessert. It was really fun and I stuffed myself. To burn off the calories we played volleyball. It was pretty hilarious and the ball was going all over the place.The rest of the night we did Hna. Marvin’s training. We are trying to catch up on that because we have been so busy. After that we had another video call lesson with Nicolás. We read Joseph Smith’s Testimony with him and explained more about how we received it. He loved it!</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Tuesday we had DCM and it was great. We talked a lot about working more with members and making the most of the meetings we go to. For lunch we went Moe's Southwest Grill. I had never been there before. Hna. Marvin and I split a steak and potato burrito with some other stuff in it. It was actually pretty good! After that we went and had a lesson with David. He told us he had messed up that week, so that was sad. He had been doing so good. He still wants to be baptized though! Then we went and had a lesson with Milvian. We are still trying to get her some more friends, so hopefully this next week someone can come visit her with us. Afterwards, we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner with the Whitehouses. I was sooo excited for this. Hna. Marvin got maple chicken and I got chicken covered in gravy. It was delicious and we had yummy dessert. We were very full as we taught English Class. Johany and Emilio came and they brought Dana.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Wednesday we were able to meet with Caren’s family. It went really well and they understood the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. Right after that, we had another great lesson with Doris and her kids. They loved learning about the Atonement and how they can use it in their lives. Then we sped over to the Colecio’s and had a quick lesson on the sacrament. Abril is doing really good after her baptism. She feels so much better and happier. After that, we had dinner with the Sims family and the elders were there too. We had tacos of course. I liked the addition of queso. Then we sped over to Marla’s house and set up another appointment for next week. She is going to feed us dinner and we are actually going to be there this time. To end our crazy day, we had the longest lesson every with Johany. We were there for an hour and a half! Hna. Ramirez was being amazing and sharing her testimony and explaining things. She helped them understand so much. We invited Johany and Josue to be baptized and Josue wants to. They said that they will pray about it.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Thursday was Thanksgiving!! Before we went to the Mejias for dinner we went and visited some people. Then we grabbed our pies and went to their house. When they said a Mexican Thanksgiving I was thinking that we were just going to be eating salsa, turkey, and tortillas. There was turkey, ham, rolls, potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese, potato salad, pasta salad, pumpkin pie, tres leches giant cake, apple pie, and pistachio pie. It was a ton of food. What was really cool is that David and Daniel came too. The Mejias invited them! We ate and were able to talk. For entertainment Hermano Mejia turned on the Luz de las Naciones compilation. So we all watched that while we ate. It was fun and it carried a good message for them. After that, we went and had a lesson with Bella. We brought her some pie and taught her about the “Beatitudes.” The scriptures are found in Matthew 5:1-12 and 3 Nephi 12:1-12. We talked about how we need to be developing all of these throughout our lives. We played a little game that was made about them and she kicked our trash twice. Then we went and taught English class. When we got there, there was a light on… the mother’s room. (Something went down a couple of weeks ago and I don’t remember if I wrote about it. The elders left us their key there and we were going to go get it so we could print some things. They called us and they said they were at the church earlier. They said a light was on, so they went and turned it off. When they left, it had been turned back on. We figured out that the mother’s light had been on and they went through the girl’s bathroom to turn it off. The girl’s bathroom has an automatic light that turns on, and that is the light that “turned back on” when they left.) We went in and taught EC and as we were finishing up we heard a toilet flush (they have to be flushed with a lever). No one was in the church on that side but us. They had to have been in there before we got there because we would have seen them walk there. We freaked out and got out of there as quickly as possible. I am not fond of scary things. We are just hoping it was nothing. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Friday was a fun day. One of our lessons canceled so we went to visit someone else when we turned onto Virginia's road. We saw her outside talking to another lady. So we parked the car and hopped out to go and talk to them. Natali is Virginia's friend and Reynold rents a room from her. Virginia was busy so we talked to them. It was funny because she told Natalie and Reynold that talking to us would help cast out the bad things in their lives, but she didn't join us. They are both from Vera Cruz but different parts. We read John 14:27 & 16:33 with them and talked about it. We talked about that for a minute and talked about how it wasn't a coincidence that we met. We asked them if they'd be interested in talking more. They said yes. We gave them a pamphlet and invited them to read it. After that we weekly planned and then drove to see the Sanchez family. As we planned last week, we came with all the ingredients to make pepperoni and marshmallow dessert pizza. It took a lot longer than planned, but the pizza was delicious. We were able to teach them a lesson and Mia who is 11 wants to be baptized on January 8th. We are hoping that she will be able to do that. We went and visited Hna. Huipe after that. We are now going to start working to help her and her daughters go to the temple. It will be a really neat experience. To end the night, we had a video call with Nicolás. We taught him about the Word of Wisdom and he has no problem with it which is awesome!</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We went to the Pulga (flea market) Saturday morning!! We didn’t have any flyers so we went and printed some off in a library. We got there and it was very interesting. Not a lot of people were there and it looked run down. We were able to hand out all of our flyers and hang up some. I got a free ring, socks, and some candy. Hopefully doing this will interest some more people in English Class. After that, we went and visited some more people on our list we made. Then we had a really good video call lesson with Nicolás. He loves the lessons and is learning a lot. Then we ate leftovers with our sparkling apple cider we bought. Right when we finished, we drove to Bella’s for another lesson. Walter was there too! We taught them how the Holy Ghost works and how to recognize when they are receiving answers to their prayers. (Here are some really good scriptures. John 14:26, D&C 9:7-8, D&C 50:22, 2 Nephi 33:1, John 16:13, D&C 8:2-3) Afterwards, we had a really great lesson with Johany! She is really excited to start reading the Book of Mormon.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Sunday, I translated the sacrament meeting this time. Your mouth becomes very tired after talking for 45 minutes straight without too much time to breathe. The talks were about Charity. 2 Nephi 26:30 says, “Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing; wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment that all men should have charity, which charity is love. And except they should have charity they were nothing.” Charity is the pure love of Christ. We all need to have charity but it isn’t something that we can do on our own. We need help from our Heavenly Father. It was really cool because there were 17 Spanish people at church!! It wasn’t even the separate Spanish sacrament meeting. Bella, Walter, Daniel, David, and Esteban all came! It has been neat to see the progress. It is happening but just very slowly. After church, we went over to the Bakers to pick up cookies from them. Sister Baker said we gave her cookies so we had to try her favorite cookies. They were chocolate peppermint covered cookies from Trader Joes. Then they gave us pizza and pie for lunch. She also told us we could come by later and pick up pasta from her for lunch today. After that, we went to go and find this guy named Eduardo on our born out of the U.S. list. We knocked on the house and had no answer. The bright green trailer was kind of sketchy. We felt like going to talk to the guy next door with the bright yellow trailer. It took him a minute to figure out who we were talking about, but he told us that Eduardo had passed away in a car accident about 3 months ago. We told him thank you for the info. and went to knock on some other houses. No one answered. We did get barked at by two dogs and a rooster all at the same time. We saw a lady and went and talked to her. She told us the same story, so we are pretty sure that he is not here. She told us we could talk to her neighbor, so Hna. Marvin knocked on his door. The first knock sent the door swinging open… it was hilariously awkward. It took a minute for someone to come to the door and he was really nice. We invited him to english class and to learn about the gospel. After that, we had a lesson with Natali, but she wasn’t there. She called us back and we rescheduled. She seems super happy to be meeting with us again, more than we originally thought. After that, we had dinner with the Mellors. It went really well. We had turkey enchiladas and they were delicious. My favorite part was the brownies and ice cream. Their kids are just the cutest and were showing us all of their Christmas decorations. We dropped by the Bakers and they gave us the pasta and we drove to Nicolás’s house. We had a great lesson. He didn’t make it to church, so he won’t be able to be baptized next week. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;"> I just wanted to end with my testimony. I know that our Heavenly Father truly loves us and answers our prayers. The answers may not always be the ones that we are looking for or may come how fast we want. He knows what we need and when we need it. With this, patience comes in. Being patient is hard, but I know that it brings growth and understanding. It has been really hard not having the progress or growth come like a snap of a finger or flip of a light switch in my mission. My areas, the people I am teaching, and myself haven’t changed or become better that quickly. Answers and progress usually take time. I am so grateful that my Father knows what I need most and that He loves me enough to not give me what I want, but what I need.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Love you all!

We went to the mall with Hna. Maxfield and her new companion. Our dinner appointment canceled, so we Hna. Marvin got Burger King and I chose the lesser of the two evils, Chick-fil-a. We went and took cookies to a family and then our other lessons canceled. It happened to be a 35-40 minute drive there, and they told us they weren’t there while we were standing on their porch…</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">We had DCM again on Tuesday. It went really well and we learned how to work better with leadership in the church. We can’t do anything as missionaries without members. Then we went out to lunch at 5 Guys and my burger was delicious! I made two things of fry sauce so I was in heaven. Afterwards, we had a really good lesson with Milvian. We haven’t really taught her a full lesson yet because we didn’t know how interested she was. She asked us where we go after this life, so we taught her the plan of salvation. She was so happy to learn about this and know that this life isn’t the end. Then we went and visited Heidy and she wasn’t there. We went to another house that was about ten minutes away and they didn’t answer either. But, we did find a cute cat over there. We fed it one of Hna. Marvin’s dog treats. We sped over to English Class and after that had a REALLY long call with Pablo. It felt like we were going around in circles. He just wasn’t understanding the things that we were telling him, even though he thought he was. We asked him to give us a list of the things he wanted to talk about. He gave us a list and as we tried to explain it, we felt that if we taught him about the restoration he would understand it better. We started to do that and he said, “I think that we are straying away from the theme.”😂 We tried to explain why we were, but he still didn’t get it! This is going to be a long process.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Wednesday morning was super busy. We went and saw Doris. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and she said she loved the kid videos that explain it. After that we knocked on this door. The lady was a self referral. No one answered, so we went and sat in the car. We called her and she said she was at work. As I was looking at her address I realized we had been visiting the wrong house. Her house was the one before😂. Google maps isn't always correct. Then we went on exchanges!! I got to go to Columbia again with Hna. Stewart and their trainee Hna. Roth!! The drive was long, but it was super fun. Hna. Stewart was given a flower at the gas station and asked for her number. She told him she was a missionary and he ran back to his friend’s car and said “Go, go, go!” Then they peeled out of the gas station. We went and visited this adorable family. Their little boy Josue was just the cutest thing ever. He kept blowing us kisses the whole time and I about died. We made tortillas with them and it was super fun. We then ate the tortillas with this pork and bean stuff. It was good, but the meat looked interesting. She just kept giving us more food and we had already eaten dinner. We had went to Subway before this. Then we went next door for another lesson. We taught this girl named Luz and her dad Luis. They were really nice. We taught them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I invited Luis to be baptized in Spanish while Hna. Stewart invited Luz and they both accepted!! It was a cool experience. After that, we went and taught an English Class. It was kind of sketchy getting there. We drove down this path through the woods following these two guys back to their house. A ton of people lived there and their aunt(?) joined us too. We only taught them the alphabet because they knew basically nothing. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">We ended the exchange on Thursday, but before we did we went to Manny’s! I flipping love that place. I got an elote and a blackberry colada. It was sooo good and worth the money. It has become my favorite place in Columbia. Even if I never serve there, I am going to visit it for sure. We drove to this gas station to meet up and we switched back to our normal companions. We of course had to use the bathroom so we went in and it had a sign on the bathrooms (pic down below). Then Hna. Marvin felt obligated to keep that and went and bought something. It was a minimum $5 to use card, so I paid for her treat in cash. The people working had a TV on the counter playing Friends. Needless to say, Hna. Marvin hates that gas station now. Then we went and had dinner with the Mejias. It was delicious. We had this giant thin piece of meat with rice and salsa. For dessert, they had tres leches, cheesecake, and pumpkin pie because it was Hna. Mejia’s birthday the day before. They gave me a slice of each one. I ate the cheesecake and pumpkin pie together (pumpkin pie cheesecake) and I didn’t finish the tres leches. To finish the night, we went and visited Marla, set up another time to come over with her, and taught English class. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">On Friday, we had our interviews with President Monson. I learned a lot from it on how to improve my personal studies. He taught me how to feast on the scriptures and dive into them. I am going to start studying them with a specific question that I want answered. When that was over, we went and taught Doris and talked to her about baptism. Then we went and saw Caren and set up another time to come over. We are still trying to teach her husband. After that, we drove all the way out to Greer to visit the Sanchez family. We were going to stop teaching them if they didn’t answer the door. They opened the door and let us right in. We were able to develop a better relationship with them and talk about lots of different things. We are going over next week to make pizza with them now! Then we had a really long video call lesson with Nicolas. We taught him a lot of things and he loved it! He really wants to learn more about the Book of Mormon. Right after, we called Pablo and shared a scripture with him because we didn’t have much longer to talk to him. I was glad that he didn’t go off with all the questions that he has.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Saturday was Abril’s baptism!! The missionary who baptized her family flew out so he could baptize her. Hna. Marvin and I got to the church at 11:30. We swept the font, killed spiders, cleaned the glass, and then filled it. The baptism started at 2pm and it was neat. Abril looked so cute in her little white dress. We had pizza after and mingled. Then we went to the Stake Conference Leadership meeting. President Monson asked all this missionaries from Greer to Gaffney to go to it. I learned a lot of things that can help us out in our area. President McClellan (our stake president) focused on: how do we inspire? He explained the meaning in latin. In means into, spire means breathe. He said the answer is spiritually breather into. There are people in the world who are spiritually suffocating. The don’t know where to turn to. We need to feed them spiritually. If we don’t eat or drink water for a long time we will physically waste away, it is the same with our spirits. If we don’t pray, study the scriptures, and more we will spiritually waste away. They gave us Chick-fil-a for dinner. Afterwards, we went and visited Johany and her family. We taught them a little about the Book of Mormon and they told us that they were going to come to church. Throughout this lesson, Johany’s baby Dana was going through my purse. It was all that she wanted to play with. So we put it on her and Johany said that Dana was going to go out as a missionary. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Yesterday went by soooo quickly. It was Stake Conference! I was stressed that I was going to have to translate it, but they ended up having some members to translate it including Arlen. We didn’t think that we would get very many of the people we are teaching there. Daniel and Johany and her family came, as well as Hna. Sanchez, Hna. Hernandez, Humberta, and the Huipe family. Esteban and Hna. Rosas came and he told us that he was going to move back to Mexico. It is sad because we watched him grow, change, and become better and now he is worse than before. The talks were really good. Here are some things that stood out to me: The world needs more light, love, and kindness. We need to be examples of light and love is the key. Someone said, “If we want to share our light with others, we must learn to glow first.” As well as, to never take a moment for granted. Afterwards we worked on this born out the U.S. spreadsheet. We are going to visit all of the Hispanics in the Stake. President Monson said it will help a lot with teaching and finding people to teach. We went and visited a name on our Part-member family list. His last name was Hispanic but he didn’t speak any Spanish. I know that is normal, but I haven’t met someone like that in a while. He was very nice, but he made it very clear that he had changed his religion. After that, we went and had a lesson with the Huipes. Then we went and took cookies to the Baker family. It was really good to get to know them. We thought that they didn’t like us, but it went great. They told us their story and it was really cool. Sister Baker joined the church while their were dating and Bro. Baker baptized her. They said they would help us out with anything and invited us over to make Christmas cookies. We also took cookies to the Sims family and then went to our lesson with Nicholas. Sadly, he wasn’t there and only two of his roommates were. We quickly shared a spiritual thought and then left. To end our night we watched Luz de las Naciones en Español. It was really good and I would recommend watching it.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

Super sorry that I didn’t send an email last week. I haven’t done that since I broke my collarbone. Last Wednesday was super busy, so I didn’t have time to finish writing it. We went to Top Golf!! This made me laugh because I went last year around this time. It was fun and I won surprisingly. This doesn’t mean that I am very good though. After that, we went to Sister Shivley’s house for dinner. She cut Hna. Marvin’s hair and then we ate potato stew and homemade bread. It was really good. I haven’t eaten normal food in a while. Then, we went and had a lesson with Jerlinson. It went pretty well, and hopefully they will start reading the Book of Mormon. He gave us this soda called Malta Goya. It was a malt soda that contained no alcohol. I love malt in my ice cream and whoppers, but this was disgusting! Then we had two lessons at the same time. Hna. Marvin and I taught Nicholas on a video call and Hna. Hanson taught Pablo on a phone call. Nicolas is doing good and loves what we are teaching him. Pablo has a lot of questions that he wants answered.</span></span></p><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Thursday morning Hna. Hanson headed out to Columbia. Some other sister took her there, so Hna. Marvin and I started our day. It was sad to say goodbye and I miss her. She officially went home on Friday. It is nice being back in a duo, but the trio life was super fun. We had lots of laughs and crazy adventures. Daniel took us out to lunch at this place called Guacamole. I got beef enchiladas and they made guacamole in front of us. We taught him about the restoration after and he understood it. He gave us new strings to put on his guitar he lent us. I haven’t learned anything yet. After that we went and had a lesson with Milvian. She is just the cutest. We are trying to introduce her to this one family. Then we raced over to the Mejias for dinner. We were very full, but were able to eat. We ate this meatball soup and arroz con leche. Then we went to Heid and Manuel’s house. They invited us over to their baby’s first birthday party and to meet Manuel’s kids. To end the night, we taught English Class. It was nice because we had 3 new people there, and 6 in total. I got asked a question I never had before by Alex. He said, “Why is bread pronounced differently than beat, bead, words with ea.” We said it was the “r.” A couple minutes later, he asked, “Why is ‘read’ in bread pronounced in past tense?” I had absolutely no idea. </span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">We went and visited Maria who makes pupusas on Friday. It had been a long time and we wanted to see how she was doing. She made us pupusas (they were heavenly) and we ate while we talked. She told us that we need to start teaching her family. I held the cutest cat ever and wanted to steal her. Her name is Hada which means Fairy in English. After that, we went and saw Doris. We read the Book of Mormon with her. She really liked it. She has a baby who has Down Syndrome and she is so cute. I got her to smile and it was adorable. After that, we had a lesson with David. He is doing so good and is so excited to get baptized. We are still waiting for permission. President Monson said it should take a couple more weeks. We taught him about callings in the church. At the end we asked him if we would be willing to have one, and he said it was a must! We can’t wait to have him join other lessons with us! Then we went and visited the Colecio family. We talked to Abril and Hna. Colecio. They told us that Abril is getting baptized this Saturday! That was a shock to us. We are going to help them out with that. Later. we went and saw the Huipes. They are so much fun. Every time we visit they open up more. We made bracelets with the girls and it took forever. It was good our next lesson had canceled. Then we got rejected by Juan. We invited him to read the Book of Mormon and he flat out said no. I almost started laughing. Most people aren’t honest to us. To end the night, we had a lesson with Pablo over the phone. Hna. Hanson was right, he has a LOT of questions! We were on the phone for an hour and 20 minutes. He started breaking out his bible and reformation knowledge. I had never heard it in Spanish before, but it was nice because I was able to answer him. Thank you European History class back in high school.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Saturday we did our planning for the next week. We didn’t have enough time on Friday. Later, we went to go visit the Delgados (Maria’s family). Here is another story of rejection. I got to see Ada again. We knocked 3 times on the door and no one answered. There were 3 people sitting on the couch right by the door and someone walked past it. We knew they could hear us. So, I picked up Ada and we went and visited Maria again. She told us all about how she lost her eyesight and the things that she is going through. Her great-grandaughter was there, and her mom came to get her. She was one of them that was sitting on the couch… Maria asked her why she didn’t answer the door. She said that she didn’t hear it. Her face said otherwise, so there was this awkwardness in the air. Right as we were about to leave, the Ramirez family showed up to visit Maria. It was cool because we didn’t even have to ask them to do it. Our next couple of lessons canceled and then we went to visit Leo and Ana. They had so many questions. Ana was super shocked that Jesus Christ visited the Ancient Americas. Leo was like, “How do you not know that?” They kept bantering about it. We talked about so many different things. Deep bible stuff got brought out too. They are excited to learn more about the Book of Mormon and more!! We got home super late...</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Sunday was crazy! I translated for the Primary Program. Pablo, David, Daniel, and Sister Huipe came to church. We have been inviting her for four months and she came. I was so happy to see her there. It was cute hearing all the kids sing. David loved it! Pablo borrowed a hymn book to practice on his organ. That will be nice for when we have seperate Spanish meetings. Afterwards, we went and visited Esteban for the last time. He just isn’t progressing and doing the things that we ask him to do. He isn’t willing to do that right now. We told him that we love him and will return when he is willing to do that. I am super sad because we had taught him everything, but he has to decide to do it all for and by himself. Then we drove to Hermana Sanchez’s (Millie) house. We ate fajitas as we played Sorry with her and her daughter Genesis. We got to know them better and it was super fun. We also ate pumpkin pie covered in whipped cream. After that, we had a lesson with Bella. She is having a really hard time missing her husband. We tried to comfort her and gave her a listening ear. No matter what we are going through in our lives we are NEVER alone. It made me think of the talk: </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

We hadn’t found really anyone to teach throughout the week. I told Hna. Marvin that we were going to find 4 people at his house. Hna. Marvin said we were only going to find 3 (because there are only 3 other people living there). We get there and in Hna Marvin’s words, “Lo and behold, there is another one name Israel. He trecked from Guatamala for 3 months on foot/bus to get there that day.” It was pretty cool! We found 4 new people to teach. We taught them about pray and they loved it. They want to come to church and meet again!</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Thanksgiving is going to happen this month, so I started thinking about that. I remembered a scripture in Alma 34:38 that says, “That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ; that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you.” I love how it says that we need to live in thanksgiving daily. We will be giving thanks this month, but it doesn’t mean that we have to stop after. We have so many things to be grateful for no matter what circumstances we are in. Our Heavenly Father has given us everything, so at least we should thank Him. What are you all thankful for?</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

We carved pumpkins as a district. I have learned that pumpkins are much cheaper at Walmart than the place we went. My pumpkin cost a whole whopping $12. I am officially broke until next week. I decided to carve Princess Lea from Star Wars😎. Hna. Marvin carved Marty McFly from Back to the Future. It took forever but it was worth it! Later that day we went and visited Maria. We finally got to meet Diego, Diego and Valentina's dad. He is super nice, but is just working all the time. Hna. Ramirez was in the lesson with us and helped out a lot. She is really good friends with Maria now.</span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">On Tuesday, we had our Zone Conference!! It was great. Hna. Hanson gave her departing testimony!! That is my third companion so far that has done that. I learned so much. Sad this is that I do not have my notebook with me so I will write about that next week. We ate bbq for lunch. My favorite part was the mac and cheese. We did some role plays and received some other training. After it was over David came and met with President Monson. I was so stressed for what was going to happen. It went really well. David told him all the things that are going on and that happened in his past. The spirit was so strong and I was brought to tears multiple times. President Monson confirmed a lot of things for him. David was really surprised and so happy after. He told us that he wasn’t expecting that at all. President Monson said that David has waited too long to be baptized. It was such an amazing experience! After that we had a lesson with Johany, with Milvian, and then taught english class. My mom being the most amazing woman ordered some things for me at Walmart. We went and picked it up after class. Then I made potato salad at 10pm. It was great! I had never done it by myself before.</span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">On Wednesday, we went and had another lesson with David. We talked to him about temples and he really wants to go! Then we went and saw Caren with Brother Bright. They weren’t there which was super sad. Brother Bright wore his missionary tag from way back when. It was super cute and cool. I sneezed while we were with Bro. Bright and he said, "Allergies?" "No, I just sneeze because of bright stuff and the sun." Then he looked me directly in the eyes and said, "I make you sneeze." 😂 That was hilarious! After that, we went and saw Doris. It was an awesome lesson. Bro. Bright helped explain the Book of Mormon and some other things. Afterwards, we went to dinner with Brother and Sister Whitehouse with the elders. They took us to Los Mexicanos. Hermana Hanson and I had vowed to never go back to that place… well we did. I didn’t get the chimichanga this time. I got these enchiladas and it was a tiny bit better. They were super nice and want to set up another time to eat. Then we went and visited Marla and Martin with Brother Bright. We brought them a surprise dinner. Hna. Hanson made Fiesta Chicken, I brought my potato salad, and Bro. Bright brought cookies and this pie for dessert. (Here is some background. We met Marla a while back. She wanted to set up a dinner or lunch with us. We had an appointment set up and she never responded back to us. We were going to be late to English Class, so we didn’t go. This other appointment apparently was set up too. We don’t remember doing that. In the end, things were communicated badly on both sides. We missed two meals that she had made/bought. We felt terrible. We wanted to show her we love her and make up for that. So we brought her dinner. Sorry that was long!) She was super touched and said she will never forget us. We all ate (our second dinner) and got to know them better. Brother Bright invited Martin to watch/listen to conference, he accepted and is excited!! After that, we went over to teach Luis and Reyna. We were able to make a better connection with them. Reyna told us of how she overcame cancer and has kept going. We talked about the Atonement with them and then they gave us pan dulce and abuelita chocolate caliente. It was awesome.</span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">On Thursday nothing much really happened. Lots of not answered phone calls and other stuff. It was pretty rainy and dreary. We had dinner at the Mejias and it was delicious as always. They fed us this meat with potatoes and carrots, rice, and tortillas. For dessert we had a cinnamon tamale. Then we went and taught Johany and her kids. She was super distracted, so it was mostly Josue, Daylert, and Albert. They didn’t want us to leave and asked us when we were going to come back. After that, we taught English Class. Then we had a phone call lesson that went really good. We switched the sim card to my phone and the call just kept failing. We called the guy around 9 times, but we were able to finish the lesson.</span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It was super cold on Friday. The weather changed very quickly. It was wet and cold. Sometimes gloomy weather influences your mood. We felt like we had no energy, so we went on a walk. We finished planning for the upcoming week and set off to see some miracles. We prayed for one to happen and we had two. We went and visited Caren’s family. We were afraid if they still wanted to talk and see us. They were home and let us into their house. We gave them brownies and everything was great. We just were overthinking things. Afterwards we went and visited this address we had for a part member family. Hermana Hanson had put it in our schedule. It was dark and no one answered the door. As I was finishing writing a note, a car pulled up. She came out and talked to us. Her name was Millie Sanchez. She told us she was a member and invited us in. She told us while she was pulling up, she thought we were Jehovah’s witnesses. She was on the phone with her sister and her sister said, “It can’t be. They aren’t allowed to be out this late.” Hna. Sanchez opened up and shared lots of things with us. Turns out, she knows Maria Hernandez. The lady that we met with the breathing thing in her throat. She took her to church that one week!! We love her! She is the sweetest person ever. She has such a strong testimony and will not back down. We had been praying hard for a miracle that day and she was our miracle.</span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Mejia’s daughter has been trying to take us to lunch for a while. She took us out to a burger place called “Bakery and Burgers” on Saturday. I had been craving a nice burger for ages. I got the Spartenburger. It was a double cheeseburger something. I got one of the patties as a veggie patty. Laura likes that a lot. I prefer the meat, but it was good😋. After that, we went to visit Maria. She had signed up on the meal calendar to feed us when she came to church. It was super sweet of her. She fed us this meat, beans, rice, and handmade tortillas. She is from Guatemala but learned to make Mexican food when she worked in a restaurant. After that, we had a lesson with Daniel and Brother Bright. Daniel played his guitar for us! He is the first Hispanic that I have ever seen play an instrument (I think). Brother Bright played us a song called, “The Apple Tree.” Then we went outside to join the Trunk or Treat. It rained and poured, so we were all underneath the pavillion eating chili and sipping apple cider. We moved the kid games inside. Once that we finished, we went and did the trunk or treat. A guy brought some really cool lightsabers. It was awesome. We had a duel! I want to get me one of them because it was so cool and fun. I defended and fought harder than he thought I would have. Even with the rain and cold it was still fun. Alex and his friends came and joined us during it.</span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sunday was super awesome! David and Esteban came. I was prepping the translating equipment when I saw Hermana Sanchez (Millie) and Maria Hernandez walked in! I was so happy and excited to see them. Then I translated sacrament meeting. I am not the greatest, but I tried. Hermano Mejia spoke in Spanish. Brother Bright translated that into English, so I was happy to sit and watch. We thought it was Spanish Sunday School... wrong. I translated our giant combined Sunday School. It actually went really well! We talked about Light the World. Bro. Bright, being so nice, gave us three bags of cookie dough. We proceeded to eat some of it in the car. The bags specifically said "Do not consume raw" but we ate it anyway. Afterwards, we went and visited Hermana Sanchez again. She made us Quesadillas for dinner. For dessert she gave us a mango and strawberry salad and ice cream! She invited us to come over and do a family home evening with her daughter. She told us that Hermana Hernandez like coming to our ward, so they are going to keep coming!😄After that, we went to a Halloween Party at Bishop Andersen’s house. It was fun. We ate more chili, cornbread, and dessert. We were able to get to know more of the members. Then we raced over to our lesson with Adan, Luis and Reyna’s other brother. We were going to stop teaching him, but we changed our minds. He knows a lot more than we thought. He has met with missionaries before and wants to keep doing it! He told us that he is going to come to church!</span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">For my spiritual thought today I just wanted to bear my testimony. The other day Esteban called. He told us he didn’t see the importance of the Book of Mormon. I bore my testimony of it. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. It is something that shows me that Heavenly Father loves all of his children. The heavens aren’t closed, they are wide open. I have received so much peace and answers to my prayers through it. How do I know it is true? I know because I have read it and then I asked my Heavenly Father if it was true. I felt and knew that it was true through the power of the Holy Ghost. When I read it, I feel better and happier. I know that we need the Book of Mormon and the Bible together.</span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span><br aria-hidden="true" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sorry for such a long email!

font-size: 11pt; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well this last Monday we didn't do very much. We went shopping and prepped for Hna. Marvin’s birthday. I bought her a jumanji board game, so hopefully that will be fun. Later that night, we went and visited Luz and her family. It was a fun lesson with a puzzle to represent the Apostasy. </span></span></p><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Tuesday we had our DCM. It went really well. For lunch, we ate at a place called Broncos Mexican Restaurant. It was pretty good. I got a chimichanga. Then we went and visited some people. One wasn't interested and the other answered the door holding her naked child. That was pretty funny. We met a lady named Milvian. She is just the absolute sweetest. We sang her a song with the ukulele and she opened right up. She wants to learn more about God and English. She has the cutest daughter. Afterwards, we went to Colecio’s house for dinner. Hna. Colecio fed us Tinga. I love that stuff! It is chicken with this red juice/sauce over a tostada with sour cream and lettuce. We taught them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and hopefully their 8 yr old daughter will get baptized soon. Before English class that night, we stopped by this one house. We were set up a lesson with this one guy and then his friend came over. His friend wanted to do one as well. There was a heavy blanket of awkwardness during this whole thing. Later that night, I made two pies. I got out some frustration after an interesting call with Esteban. He is very confused and doesn't know what he wants. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We went and visited Doris on Wednesday. It was a really good lesson and the spirit was strong. It was cool to see Hna. Marvin progress in her teaching skills. Then we went and visited Caren and her family. It had been a little while since we had been in touch. They let us right in and invited us to their giant birthday party. As we were teaching, Angel (the husband) told us that he wants to get baptized! We are so excited to help him. After this our day fell apart for about two hours. We needed gas, wrong turns were taken, and people are psychotic drivers here. Hna. Hanson couldn’t take it anymore, while Hna. Marvin and I are cracking up hysterically watching this. We got ice cream from a place called Hounis, a Little Caesar Pizza, and finally gas. After that we went and had a pretty good lesson with Bella. She is having a hard time. She is ready to be baptized but doesn’t understand the word of wisdom fully. Jerlinson and Natalie invited us over again. It has been cool to see them reach out to us and invite us over. We are hoping that they will accept more of the things that we teach. Jerlinson gave us another one of his coconut things. Natalie said his favorite things all include some form of coconut and I’m not surprised. It was actually good. Then we went to visit Marla and Martin. Marla is a member and we have been trying to meet Martin who is not. Bro. Bright tagged along with us and the lesson went great. We got to know them much better. This weird looking cricket interrupted the lesson. All six of our legs went up at the same time.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Thursday, we went over and had a lesson with David. He had been asking for another apple pie and he kept his no drinking coffee for a week plus challenge. So Wednesday night I made him a pie and it took FOREVER! It turned out delicious because I made a couple adjustments from the time before. He was super happy and gave us hot chocolate to drink with it. He wants to be baptized sooo bad. We are setting up a time for him to meet with President Monson. Afterwards, we went over to Milvian’s house again. We did a really good Bible study. We taught her some English. Hna. Hanson was nice and gave Ashley (her 10 yr. old daughter) some art supplies. Then we went and visited Lucero. One of the babies was laying on the couch right next to me. He kept kicking me with his feet. I started to play peekaboo with his blanket and he loved it. Over a couple of minutes he was laughing and normally he is silent. I just want to hold all these cute Hispanic babies. For dinner, the Mejias fed us this meat dish with rice. It was really good. I was having a hard time finishing that. Then they gave us a tamale and this pecan pudding stuff. I left very full. After we taught English Class, we taught Daniel. We taught him about the priesthood and it's organizations. The longest part of my day was the hour-long call. He called us and just kept going and going. I was so exhausted by the end. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Friday was Hna. Marvin’s birthday!! We had such a fun time. For breakfast we had blueberry muffins. She wanted Arbys for lunch. The Arbys that we went to first wasn't even done being constructed so we drove to another one. The lobby was closed… but we found a really cute park to eat in. It had ducks, geese, a big pond, a bridge, and a gazebo😍. We ate and I just wanted to stay there all day. The trees out here are starting to change colors and I am so excited!! I remember how beautiful it was last year. Some of the trees are turning red and purple! Afterwards, we went to see Hermana Zapata. We told her we didn't have time to eat. When we walked in the table was set. We ate dinner with her and Gloria. Hna. Zapata told us that she is going to come to church again! After that, we had our actually dinner with the Mellors. They fed us French toast, bacon, eggs, hash browns, grapes, oranges etc.. For dessert we ate ice cream. They are just the cutest family ever. Very loud and fun children. It reminded me of growing up. There was show and tell, dress up, and 3 unexpected hugs from their middle child. He wanted to keep my watch and charm bracelet. Afterwards, we raced over to our lesson with Reyna and Luis. They gave us three carne asada tacos. We taught them about prayer and set up another lesson. They said we are going to have pan dulce and hot chocolate this time. Throughout the day we ate SO much. I felt like I had gained 10 pounds and I probably had. We went to bed very very full.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We went out to lunch with Macario on Saturday (We didn’t eat breakfast because we were still full!). He finally got home from Tennessee. He came dressed very nicely. When we walked in the hostess didn't see my companions so she asked, "party for 2?" Very quickly I said, "4 people!!"😅 We ate Mexican food of course. Macario ate a really spicy pepper and was sweating the whole time (and he said it wasn't hot, sure). We gave him a Book of Mormon and explained it to him. Then we went to two Mexican birthday parties. We went to Caren’s first. Anthony is turning 8 years old soon and Ashlyn is turning 12. It was awesome. They did it in Doris’s house and the living room was covered in decorations. They were playing Shrek 2, loud music and they had a disco ball. We ate tamales, rice, and some other things for dinner. They honestly brought enough food to feed 50-75 people. We gave the kids their presents and they got so excited. Never underestimate the power of chips, chocolate, and a picture of Jesus. Then, we went to the birthday party for Hermana Ramirez’s sister-in-law (the lady who told me to smash Sally’s face in the cake). We had to leave for futbol night for an hour. I kicked the ball around and star-gazed for a minute. After that, we drove back to the party and ate dinner again. We had tacos with chicken, rice, and beans. Dessert was a giant piece of tres leches cake. We drove home full (like the day before😂).</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Yesterday went really well. I translated sacrament meeting and that was interesting. I wonder how much the people understood what I was saying. David, Daniel and Hermana Zapata came. During the sacrament I was really sad. These two families had told us they were coming and they didn’t. I just want everyone to receive all the blessings that they can. Afterwards, we went and had a lesson with Esteban. We aren't going to visit him for 2-3 weeks so he can figure out what he wants. Then we went and visited a lady named Irlanda with Hna. Rosas. I could not for the life of me understand what she was saying. Maybe it was a consequence of my food coma from the days before. Hna. Marvin was fighting to stay awake during it. Hna. Hanson and I talked after how we both didn’t understand. Later, we went and visited a guy named Jesus. He was really nice. We followed him from Walmart to his apartment in our car. It was gated so he had to let us in. What started as us thinking we were just teaching him changed to teaching him and his 3 cousins. They were waiting outside because they forgot their keys to get in. It went really well and we are going back next week. They said they are going to make us tacos. Turns out, one of the guys went to an English class three months back when we had first gotten here. We didn’t remember him… a little awkward. After that we went and visited someone else. It was even more awkward! They were eating at a table outside. We asked them what they like to do and the sister said be borrachos. That was hilarious. We taught them about prayer and are going back. We don’t know how interested they actually are.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I wanted to share with you all the study that we did with Milvian. We read Matthew 4:17-20. It is when Jesus is calling some of his 12 apostles and they are out fishing. In verse 17 the first words that Christ said in his ministry were, "</span><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Repent</span><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Repentance is the process of us becoming better people and more like Christ. Some of the questions I thought of while reading 18-20 were: What are some of our nets? What can we do to leave them behind and follow Jesus Christ? I just want to invite you all to think about this. I need to do it too. :)</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38;

We had a zone p-day at a park. We played kickball, soccer, and ultimate frisbee. I accidentally kicked a ball right where my giant bruise is still. Needless to say, it has turned back purple and I’ll probably have it for the rest of my mission. Later that night we went and visited Luz and her family. Mia, her daughter, is finally warming up to us and joined the lesson. (I have been helping her with reading and writing sentences for the past couple of weeks.) We talked about the Atonement and did a little object lesson. We used water in a bowl, dumped pepper on it, and then dropped dishwasher soap in it. The soap moves the pepper outwards and down. We related the water to us, the pepper to sin, and the soap to Jesus Christ. Through him we can push our sins away and become a better person.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Tuesday we had our DCM and it went really well. We talked about something I love… CHARITY! The gospel of Jesus Christ is love. True Christianity is love in action. How do we manifest that love to God? By showing love to others. We did an activity where we changed “charity” to “Christ” in Moroni 7: 45-46. I loved the last part of 46 it said, “Wherefore, cleave unto Christ (charity), which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail-” I am trying to become better at this in my life. Something I’ve learned is the importance of serving others. It isn’t always easy to do. People aren’t nice sometimes. No matter how many times you do something, you never get a thank you and lots of other things. All that doesn’t matter. We serve others and have charity because we love God. I just want to invite you all to cleave/hold onto Christ and charity. After that, we went and ate lunch at Lil Piggies BBQ. It was really good. I got a BBQ pulled pork sandwich, fries, and corn on the cob. Then we drove up to Gaffney and taught a lesson to Esteban. We taught him about living prophets and Hna. Rosas pretty much taught most of the lesson. It was what he needed. Later that night, we taught English Class. We met a lady named Crystal, who wants to come to church! We are excited to see how that goes. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We had exchanges on Wednesday!! I finally got to go to Columbia. It was super awesome and I learned a lot. I went with Hermana Oyler and Eubanks. We went and visited some people and sang with their ukulele. (I might end up buying one because Hna. Maxfield left and took hers, and Hna. Hanson is going home soon with hers.) Singing really does bring the spirit and touches peoples’ hearts. We got to their apartment and had a late lunch. I attempted to learn how to play the flute. It is a lot harder than it looks! It takes some lung power. For dinner we went to this place called Manny’s. We got elotes and mexican shaved ice. It was awesome. Elotes are the corn with chili powder. The, “Get that corn outta my face,” corn from Nacho Libre. Both things were delicious and I can’t wait to get them again! Then we went and taught this cute family. We played down by the banks and the kids loved it. To end the night, we got free hot chocolate from their gym and drank it while we told stories.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Thursday morning, we exchanged back and went to a late lunch with Daniel. He is someone we are teaching english and the gospel. He is just the sweetest. He took us to his two favorite places. We got Huaraches for lunch and then ice cream for dessert. Huaraches are pretty much giant sopes with beans, steak, and avocados. I would definitely recommend eating it. Then we had dinner with the Mejias. Don’t eat a late lunch and then early dinner, it doesn’t go well. I could hardly eat anything and knew if I ate more I would definitely throw up. Eric looked at us and said, “What do you think you are doing? You know wasting food is frowned upon down here.” It was hilarious. Hna. Mejia being the sweetie she is, let us take our leftovers with us. Afterwards, we had a Relief Society activity. We made trees with hot glue on a canvas and then painted over it. We tried to finish it really fast because English Class was right after. Daniel stayed after and we taught him about living prophets! </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">We were able to go and visit Lucero on Friday. It had been a couple weeks since we had seen her. We also taught them about living prophets. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We had prophets in ancient times, so wouldn’t it make sense to have a prophet today. After that, we weekly planned and went to Hna. Zapatas house. She made us Spaghetti, patacones, salad, and garlic bread. We invited her to church and she said she would try to come. Then we had a lesson with Doris and her daughter. After, we zoomed over to this member. Her name is Maria. She is super adorable. She had this cancer so she has a tube in her throat now. She can’t talk, but can mouth words. Reading lips in Spanish is super hard, but we were able to get the gist. I asked her if she wanted the sacrament brought to her and she said she wanted to go to church. She was able to go! </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">On Saturday, we went and visited Brother Bright. He is doing better everyday. He gave us ice cream and played us his harmonica. He can’t wait to help us in lessons with his Spanish that he learned on his mission a long time ago. We went and had a lesson with David. He is doing really well. He hasn’t drank coffee in two weeks, so we will be making him an apple pie. Then we went and played fútbol. It was freezing and I re-bruised my ankle yet again. It ended up being good because I was able to talk to someone about the difference between churches and temples and a lot of other things. The climax of our night was our Circle K lesson with Wilson. We had just had Wendys for dinner at 8:40pm and drove straight there. It was freezing outside, so he bought us hot chocolate. The guy at the cash register offered us a job because we speak and understand Spanish. We taught our lesson as we sipped the hot coco.</span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Sunday was great! Daniel, Bella, and David came to church. Hna. Zapata was able to come! When I saw her walk in I about cried. I have been praying for miracles and that was one. It made me so happy! After that, we went and taught Johany, Emilio, and their family. We brought them cookies, and I have never seen 9 cookies disappear so fast. They promised us that they are going to come to church next week! They are super awesome! We went to have a lesson with Luis and he wasn’t there. It made me laugh because he asked us if we would actually be there and he wasn’t. His sister Reyna invited us over for tacos on Hna. Marvin’s birthday on the 22nd. Afterwards, we went over to Bella’s house. She got a priesthood blessing and will hopefully receive the things she is needing right now. </span></span></p><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: red;">Here’s the link to the video we watched in a couple of lessons.

It was very needed. Then we went to Bojangles. It is more common here than McDonalds. It was all right. It was a milestone I had to have in my life. Afterwards, we went and visited Bella. She gave us this cookie cake with fruit. The cookies soak up milk… so soggy, but it was really good. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">On Tuesday it was raining so much! (My umbrella, boots, and raincoat are being put to use.) Then we had DCM but it was a bit different. It was us five sisters running it because everyone else was gone at another meeting. We split the blackboard into two and wrote good things on one side and bad on the other. There were so many more good things than bad. When we focused on the bad, we started to feel worse even though we had this bigger list of good. When we focus on the good, how little it may be, we can be so much happier. We can be grateful in any circumstances. After that, we had a lesson with David. He gave us each a painted card. He explained mine that it represents how I am always sharing (the flowers strewn on the ground). It made us all happy that he took the time to do that. Then we went up to Esteban’s for a lesson with Hna. Rosas. It went really well and we had more animals join us. Esteban earlier had called bambi a borracha and I didn’t believe him. During the lesson I look over as she shoves her face into a beer can and drinks it!! At least the puppies didn’t do that. Later, we had a lesson with Maria and Diego. We played “don’t eat pedro” with him and explained the importance of church, scriptures, and prayer. It was super cute and they loved it. Something gross is that I found a cockroach in my bed that night. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Wednesday morning it was still raining, but this time even more. We went out and danced in our little parking lot river. For an earlier dinner that day we went to the Mejias. It was a surprise from them. We got to eat pupusas and then learn how to make them. It was super fun! Their dinners are turning into cooking lessons. Hna. Mejia said the students have become the masters. After that, we had a lesson with Jerlinson. They contacted us and asked us to come over again. We are hoping they are interested and are ready to keep learning. Then, we went and sang a song to Bella to help her feel better. We read 2 Nephi 22:2 with her. It says, “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation." I love this scripture because it is so true. I know that I don’t have to be afraid. I trust that everything will be all right. He is always with me and He gives me strength. When ever you feel alone just remember this scripture. :) The climax of the night was we did two lessons at once. I was doing a phone call lesson and then Macario called. So they taught him while I kept going with the phone call. During that call I caught two roaches. Straight after I found three more in the bathroom. Hna. Marvin was just cracking up as I was trying to kill them with our cleaner. Throughout the rest of the week we killed two more.

It went great and at the end he told us he would do anything for another apple pie. So we told him if he doesn’t drink coffee for a week, we (meaning me) will make him one. Afterwards, we drove all the way up to Gaffney to do Esteban’s baptismal interview. We were 30 minutes late because of rain and traffic. We did it over video call and we expected everything to go well… it didn’t. We were really caught off guard. Please send prayers for Esteban, so he can have a stronger testimony. We decided to postpone his baptism for a week or even longer. Then to make the day even better, all of our lessons canceled. So we went to Popeyes for dinner and then taught English Class. Alex was the only one that showed up. We taught about weather and I think I learned more than he did. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">I can’t remember if it was Friday or not but in the morning I heard this loud knock on the door. I went and opened it and this lady said our keys were in the door. Hermana Hanson forgot them overnight. I think this is the second time that this has happened. Hence this picture down below. Then we went and had our interviews with President Monson. I was in there for 30 minutes which is way longer than usual. We were figuring out things to help our area. After that we came home for lunch and to plan for our week. Hermana Marvin did a rendition of Napoleon Dynamite’s dance and it was hilarious. All of our lessons canceled again, but Macario’s and Daniel’s lesson. They went great. They have come to church and love learning! We are super excited to help teach them and bring them closer to Christ!</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Saturday afternoon we went to another funeral. Brother Bright’s wife passed away. It was a really nice service with beautiful music. Brother Bright has told us that he can’t wait to come out and help us teach people even though he is going through this. There are so many wonderful and amazing people out here. To keep up the pattern of the end of this week, all of our lesson canceled again but Esteban’s. A good thing that happened is we finally saw Rene at fútbol night. He wants to be taught and come to church!</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">We had Spanish Testimony meeting on Sunday. It was super amazing. I was scared that we wouldn’t have anyone there like last time, but we had 30 people there! Maria came with her baby and Bella drove her. Esteban, Daniel, and David came as well! We went and visited Johany after church and sang a song to this guy with a ukulele. We went and taught Bella about church, praying, and reading the scriptures. We emphasized the sacrament because it is the most important part of sacrament meeting. We renew our covenants and we remember Jesus Christ and what he did for us. Right after that, we also had another lesson with Macario. He told us he is so grateful that we are helping him. After that, I taught an english class over video while Hna. Marvin finished prepping our late night Cheez-it Chicken. We are now going to start teaching this guy english and about the gospel!</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">During my study this week something that really stood out is the small and simple things. Alma 37:6 says, "...by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." This phrase is repeated many times throughout the Book of Mormon. I have seen this as I have been away from home. Doing the small things that we think are insignificant is so important. For example, reading the scriptures, going to church, praying, little acts of service, giving more of yourself to God, etc. I know that doing these things and more will bring blessings. I have seen them come to me. I want to invite you all to think of a small thing you can do. I promise it will help and you will see a change. :)</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;

Another week has come and gone. Well, I am just going to jump right into this email. Last Monday for zone p-day we went on a hike. We had to drive an hour and a half to reach mostly real mountains. It was gorgeous. Green as far as the eye can see. The hike is called “Yellow Branch Falls.” The waterfall was beautiful and the water was nice and cold. The hike was only 3 miles but I was dying on the way back. Being sick and hiking don’t mix well. After that we went to have dinner with a guy named Jose Luis. We met him at EC and he wanted to feed us and talk more about the gospel. We got there and he fed us rice, lentils & sausage, and salmon. For dessert we had this guava sugar thing over mozzarella cheese. Both dinner and dessert were interesting, but good. Jose and his dad are super nice. We found out right before the lesson that they live in the elders area, so we are going to have to pass him off to them. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Tuesday was our first DCM of this transfer. It was awesome! We got to know our new district and I just know this transfer is going to be a blast. For lunch we went to a place called Flockers. On the back of the building it has a mural of a fire breathing chicken. We ate outside on a picnic table. The chicken was good, but kind of expensive. I of course made a giant thing of fry sauce (the reason why I want to live in Utah…jk). Then we went and had a lesson with David. We talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He told us that he wants to be baptized!! There are just a couple of things we have to figure out… But we can do it!! Our next lesson was with Esteban. I had to drive through the pouring rain on the freeway. It was sketchy and I couldn’t see anything. We taught him about the Priesthood. We had EC that night as usual in Greer. It was super fun, but I was excited for what came after. I got to see Lynn be baptized over facetime. While I was at home recovering, I went and taught people with the missionaries. She was one of them. She is absolutely amazing and I am so proud of her decision!</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We are trying to work with our part-member families a lot out here. So we spent one afternoon just going and visiting houses. A lot of people didn’t answer but we met one family. They are adorable and want to come to church. We are so excited to start meeting with them. The mom, Johany said that she loves a lot of the things that we believe in our church. At a different house there was a big dog and two puppies. We were kind of scared that we were going to get chased down, but they ended up being super nice and playful. While we were on our way to another family I really needed to use the bathroom. All the little ghetto gas stations were out of order. I got asked if I wanted to buy an uninhabitable building by a guy and I politely declined. I told him that I needed a restroom and he directed me to Krispy Kremes. They actually had a bathroom and we got two free donuts each because of our covid vaccine cards. Those donuts were worth the hassle. After that we drove to a dinner appointment. We shared our message and then kind of sat there awkwardly... She asked if we had eaten and we said no. So she gave us some of their dinner they were going to eat in a tupperware (apparently it wasn't going to be a normal dinner appointment). Utensiless again, we went to the church to eat. We used the plates and forks there. We went and ate on the floor of the young womens room. The food was good and it was fun. I'm grateful that S. Grant gave us it. Then we had a quick lesson with Jerlinson and then went to Wafflehouse with Gustavo. He is someone that we are also teaching EC. They only were doing take-out, so we took it out and ate it on the grass outside at 9pm. It was kind of like a late night picnic.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Thursday, we went and had another lesson with David. He is just so nice. He sent us home with a bag of peanuts and he wants to take us out to lunch again. We decided on a take-out in a park. Then we went and had a lesson with Bella. She is super excited to get baptized. Hna. Hanson got chick-fil-a for dinner, and I didn’t get anything. We taught EC and Alex stayed after to talk to us. He gave each of us a kinder egg (the first one I’ve ever had). I got a toy car. He always has chocolate in his backpack. He has more sweets than I even have.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We went over to the Mejias on Friday instead of our usual Thursday thing. They fed us this soup called Posule. It was really good. It had these weird giant corn kernel things and pork. We ate it with lettuce, radishes, some hot sauce, and a tostada. I want to get the recipe. After that we drove over to Linda’s house. It had been a week since we had seen her. She told us that her daughter's boyfriend wants to be saved. So we went over and had a lesson. All of a sudden, Linda looked over at us and said, “Do you know the saving prayer?” We were like what? The saving prayer… We have something called baptism, and other things that we do for the rest of our lives. We explained that a little, but we will probably have to go into more depth later. Then we drove an hour to go visit Rosita. She was tired so we did a quick lesson on the Atonement.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Saturday, we went to lunch with the S. Burton (our STL) and her comp. S. Harris. Of course they chose to go to Chick-fil-a. I have had more of it on my mission than I have in my entire life! I got a kids meal and with it came an ice cream cone. The perks of being a kid. Later, we finally had another lesson with the Sanchez family. It has been around a month and a half since we have seen them. They just haven't been answering us or have been home. I am hoping that we can stay in contact from now on. Then, the favorite part of our Saturdays came… la noche de fútbol! My team totally won. I made like 4 or 5 goals. They kept passing me the ball and I would slow it down and kick it into the goal. I am still a little paranoid that I will slip and get hurt again, but I am trying to stop that. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Sunday: spanish Sacrament, baptism, Esteban, lessons canceled, miracle w/Samaniego & tacos </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We had a seperate Spanish fast and testimony meeting this Sunday. We didn’t have as many people as last time, but it was still special. Linda and her family went to the English part and they loved it. We are in the process of passing them off to English missionaries. Her husband and brother-in-law speak Spanish, but they haven’t wanted to join any of the lessons. During the testimony meeting, David got up and bore his testimony. It was really cool. He told us again in front of everyone that he wants to be baptized and loves reading the BOM. Straight after church we had a baptism. The elders baptized this sweet lady that has been trying to get baptized for a while. It was really neat. Then we went to Esteban’s house for a lesson. He was acting differently than normal and was contradicting himself a lot. He went off on a crazy story about his past. I understood pretty much all of it, but the reason why he was telling it was confusing. In the end he said he still wants to still be baptized. The rest of the lessons that we had for the day were canceled. We took a note and dropped it off at Bella’s house when I thought that we should go visit this family. Hna. Hanson and I had been to their house twice to meet with them and the Mejias and they didn't answer. We went over at about 9pm and rang the doorbell. They didn’t answer, so we knocked on their door that was slightly ajar. Their dog came out and they let us in. We got to know them a little and they fed us our second dinner of carne asada tacos. It was one of our little miracles that happened during the week.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Something funny that happened this past week was I was pretty sick. This cold or virus that I had took me down in the mornings. I was exhausted and I couldn’t sleep. I would wake up with a super sore throat or other things. My nose got really runny and my ears clogged up like when you are going up a mountain with the elevation. Because of my nose running I had to sneeze a lot. They weren’t the cute little kitten sneezes. I probably got whiplash from them. Hna Hanson asked me if I was sneezing my brains out and I just thought it was the funniest thing ever. I am almost all better now which is awesome!</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">This week I started reading the Bible with the Institute Student Book. I have learned a lot and I have only made it through the first ch. or so. I just wanted to invite you all to study the Old and New Testament. They include lots of things that can help us understand the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Last p-day we got together as our district… and we went fishing! I wanted to go again so I could actually catch a fish and then I would be satisfied. We got to the place at 7:30am. Elder and Sister Shaw (some senior missionaries) have a river right by their house. After lots of moving around, fish stealing my worms, and partial patience, I caught two fish🐟🐟. I count the second one more as my fish because I casted the line. <span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The first one I caught was will a dinky pole that couldn’t reel it up to where I was. One of the elders had to grab it out of the air and hand it to me. We</span> finished our fishing trip at 10, went to the store, and got home at 11:30. It was kind of nice having 6 hours to chill. I made homemade cinnamon rolls and they were delicious. They take forever to make, but they are worth it in the end. Later, we went to Lucero’s house for a lesson. She is just the sweetest and she loves having us over. We taught her about the Atonement and she wants to learn more. Her granddaughter Gimena was being crazy and started to curl Hna. Maxfield and Hanson’s hair with a fake tiny curling iron. It was adorable.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Tuesday was DCM again. I want to share a couple of things that were shared with us. (1. Count your blessings (2. Don’t look back at your mistakes for too long. (3. Build this day on a foundation of solid and happy thoughts. (4. Don’t clutter your life with unimportant things. (5. Live today as if it is your last. We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow. (6. Laugh at yourself. (7. Never neglect the little things. Always give the extra 5 minutes. I am going to try to do these 7 things in my life. This week I am going to work on #7. I want to invite you all to choose one and do the same. I promise that you will be happier and feel better than before. Also, here’s a talk that I love that relates to it. "Believe, Obey, and Endure" by President Monson.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2012/04/believe-obey-and-endure?lang=eng" id="LPlnk522067" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffa400;">https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2012/04/believe-obey-and-endure?lang=eng</span></a></span></p><div class="LPBorder355909" id="LPBorder_GTaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2h1cmNob2ZqZXN1c2NocmlzdC5vcmcvc3R1ZHkvZ2VuZXJhbC1jb25mZXJlbmNlLzIwMTIvMDQvYmVsaWV2ZS1vYmV5LWFuZC1lbmR1cmU:bGFuZz1lbmc." style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 16px 0px; max-width: 800px; min-width: 424px; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; width: 800px;"><table id="LPContainer355909" role="presentation" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-color: rgb(200, 200, 200); border-radius: 2px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; font: inherit; padding: 12px; width: 800px;"><tbody><tr style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-spacing: 0px;" valign="top"><td style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><div id="LPImageContainer355909" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; height: 135px; margin: 0px 12px 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; width: 240px;"><a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2012/04/believe-obey-and-endure?lang=eng" id="LPImageAnchor355909" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffa400;"><img alt="" height="135" id="LPThumbnailImageId355909" src="https://mediasrv.churchofjesuschrist.org/media-services/GA/thumbnail/1530799112001" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="240" /></span></a></div></td><td style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; width: 512.614px;"><div id="LPTitle355909" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_light, "Segoe UI Light", "Segoe WP Light", "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 8px 12px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2012/04/believe-obey-and-endure?lang=eng" id="LPUrlAnchor355909" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Believe, Obey, and Endure</span></a></div><div id="LPDescription355909" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 8px 12px 0px; max-height: 100px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Believe that remaining strong and faithful to the truths of the gospel is of utmost importance.

I wasn’t feeling super hungry so I ordered a chili dog. I won’t be ordering that again😂, but the fries were really good. Needless to say my stomach wasn't very happy. I'd go back and get something different. Then we went to David's house. President Monson had us ask him some specific questions and it was interesting… I have partially become an expert on legal stuff. I now know the difference between probation, parole, and supervised release. My brain felt like it was going to explode. The things you become experts on in your missions that aren’t missionary work. After that we went to visit some people we are “teaching.” We have never actually had a lesson with them. They didn’t answer the door so we knocked their grandma’s trailer which is right next door. They actually answered! We met Karen who is 18 years old and Maria the grandma. We talked to them and they invited us over for pupusas. I have never had them before, but I’ve heard that they are the best things ever.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">On Wednesday, we went and had another lesson with Lucero, and her two daughters. We taught them about the rest of the plan of salvation. It was funny because they didn’t agree on how salvation works so they started arguing. Then Hna. Maxfield said she had something she wanted to read (from PMG). She said, “Our prophet said, 'In God’s eternal plan, salvation is an individual matter; exaltation is a family matter.'” The room got quiet and they had the “oh I get it” moment. I wanted to laugh so bad, but I didn't. That is the spirit! They all want to learn more and have us come over again. Then we drove to Hno. Rivera’s house to get help with the part member family list. We went down it and he told us everything he knows. They gave us some more bulk food probably from costco. They are just the sweetest. We visited Arlen and got to know her better. She invited us to her son’s 15th or 16th birthday party this next Wednesday. Then we had a lesson with Jerlinson again. They gave us a coconut candy that was different and coconut water. I have decided I hate cocunut water. It is pretty disgusting🤢. The after taste is the worst. They have a really hard time understanding that we were with God before this life and that when we die we go to the spirit world. This has always been a testament to me of God’s love for us. On the way home we got a call from Luisito, so we did an impromptu lesson.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">So, I’ve talked about David a little in my emails. The other day he dropped us, which means he told us he didn’t want us to come by anymore. It was super sad, but he texted us the next day on Thursday and asked us to come over again. We knew that was going to happen. But it showed me how much I want people to have the gospel and that I should be working harder. We went and visited Maria right after that. She thought we had forgotten about her. We sent her some texts but forgot she can’t read. I was sick and didn’t want to get her baby sick. We retaught about prophets, the priesthood, and the Book of Mormon. She is so excited to listen to it and wants to learn more!😁We had dinner with the Mejias and they fed us those potato and carrot enchiladas again with arroz con leche and a slice of pineapple for dessert. We went and taught English Class. I’m always learning new things and finding out the things I need to study again in Spanish. </span></span></p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">We went over on Friday to Karen and Maria’s house for Popusas😋. I thought that we were going to be the only people there, but we weren’t. It took forever for the popusas to cook, but it worked out to our advantage. We started talking to a woman and a man next to us and it turns out he is a member! She wants him to go back to church and he wants her to go, but they both don’t want to go… kind of confusing right. We got to know them better and they gave us their number and address. They told us that we could come over anytime. We got our pupusas and they were heavenly. Pretty much an El Salvadorian pizza pocket. We ate one that had chicharrón and another one with queso. I forgot to mention that Maria is blind😲 and still is amazing at making them. I hope to have those skills when I get older. Then we drove up to Gaffney for our lesson with Esteban. We talked for a whole 5 minutes and he asked to cancel. He wasn’t feeling well, so we rescheduled for Sunday. Then we went and had a lesson with Bella. We were there for around 2 hours! Hna. Ramirez was just talking about things that are going on in her life and she taught what we were going to teach. It was pretty awesome. Bella can’t wait to get baptized and sealed to her husband.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Something has been in the works for a couple of weeks and it finally happened on Saturday. Phelippe and Jorge finally came and visited us from Charleston. They said that the 2+ hour drive was nothing. They took us out to eat at Texas Roadhouse. I got steak of course, mashed potatoes, and chili. I left the restaurant very full. They wanted to go with us somewhere so we took them to meet David. We stopped by his work to say hi. We all talked for a minute and Phelippe shared how the missionaries showed up on his doorstep. Hopefully that will help him. Then they headed home and David went back to work. David texted us later and said that he had been thinking about moving when we showed up. He said we answered his question that he should stay! We then visited a lot of houses that didn’t answer. When we got to this yellow one, a lady answered the door named Ivonne. She told us that she thought the missionaries forgot about her. She invited us to come over in a couple of days and teach her. To end the night, we went and played fútbol. We played for a while and then it started to get dark. It is really hard to play when you can’t see. A guy named Rene was on my team. He has told us a couple of times that he wants to come to church, but has had to work. He told me that his family goes to church and to the temple in Mexico! We are going to start teaching him. Right before we left, Alex gave us some more chocolate. This time it was a chocolate marshmallow clown called a Paleta Payaso, I think. </span></span></p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Esteban and Bella came to church yesterday! Arlen translated the meeting, and she said she is going to do it from now on. Wooo hooo! I can translate, but I am not the best at it. Some context: We were told by President Monson that we need to go to the Young Single Adults’ (YSA) ward to see what it is like. So then we went to their sacrament meeting. It brought back all my memories of YSA after high school and BYU-I. I’ve heard two reasons of why we were asked to go. The first one: So that we understand the importance of passing off people 18-30 to the YSA elders. The second one: So we as missionaries aren’t afraid of going to YSA after our missions. After it got over, we left and zoomed to Gaffney. We had Hna. Rosas join us and she brought Rosita. She is an interesting one. She looked at me and told me we had to have more people join the lesson. She pulled me to Esteban’s trailer, knocked, and then pulled me in. She then proceeded to invite Esteban’s roommates to join the lesson after she called them all joven and guapo. I was a bit uncomfortable, but in the end two of them joined us. We taught them about the Atonement out by the fire that was dead. We all left smelling like we had just went camping. We went to Bella’s house and she didn’t have time for a lesson, but we were there for 20 minutes anyway. Hispanics like to talk and they get carried away. We rescheduled the lesson and then drove the Shively’s house for dinner. For the thing Hna. Hanson and Maxfield have been waiting for a week… homemade Cafe Rio. It was really yummy. I tried the ranch sauce and I still don’t like it. The conversation that happened for dinner was an interesting one. Sister Shivley is hilarious and told us all about delivering babies. Her baby Ruby is 6-7 months old. I now know things that I didn’t know before even with my child development classes in college.😂 I love their little family! Afterwards, we raced to our last appointment with Isabel. When we got there she said she had just put her kids to bed. My comps. were about to reschedule when I asked if we could show her a quick 2 minute video. She let us in and we talked for a minute. After she watched the video she told us that was exactly how she had been feeling and that it was what she needed.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Something funny happened two weeks that I forgot to write about. We were just leaving this guys house after dinner and he went in for a hand shake/ hug thing. I started to pull away and turned and he was sooo close to kissing me. Ok not that close. Hna. Maxfield said his lips were puckered.😂 He wasn't actually trying to make a move, it is just the crazy thing hispanics do. They give you a hug and either a air kiss or a kiss on the cheek. We all started laughing, even him.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ffa400;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Well that is the end of my novel for the week.

We went to Old Navy and Ross. I just walked around because I don't have that kind of money. Budgeting is the key. The focal point of our night was going to visit Luz and her family. We actually got to see Mia this time. She is super shy but adorable. They fed us empanaditas and rice with these pea things. It was good. The Empanaditas (Puerto Rican empanadas) were really super yummy. They were made with ground beef and possibly potatoes. Derek was loud as usual. We taught him about prayer and related it to sandwiches🥪. Sandwiches have two pieces of bread. One slice to start it and one to end it. All sandwiches aren't the same because you can switch up the toppings. Pray is like that, it starts with "Dear Heavenly Father '' and ends with "In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen." What we say in our prayers is different every time. We give thanks for our blessings, ask for help, questions we have, and so much more. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">On Tuesday we had DCM again. It was super fun. Hna. Hanson gave the discussion on finding. In missionary work, teaching with the spirit is really emphasized, but sometimes we forget about finding with the spirit. There are people ready to learn, we just have to be in tune with the promptings of the Spirit to find them. I'm going to try and become better at doing this. Right after something funny happened, the elders found rotten milk in the church fridge. From February and May...they decided to throw the carton up like a bomb and run. We were standing when the wave of rottenness hit us. The elders started gagging. (They cleaned it up after) Then we had a pizza buffet. We each brought a pizza and cooked them. For dessert we had the Caramel dip and apples I brought. After we had lunch we went straight to the doctor. Hna. Maxfield had an infection in her middle finger from a sliver. She got it out, and everytime she showed us it looked like she was flipping us off. Then we went and taught Lucero and her daughters the restoration. They didn't have any questions and are going to read the Book of Mormon! Then we went and taught Bella about tithing. Sometimes it is hard to pay tithing because we don't know if we have enough for our bills and to pay it. That is where we need to have faith that our Heavenly Father will help us if we make the sacrifice. Hna. Ramirez helped us teach it. I'm so grateful for the members out here and their testimonies. We have been trying to become friends with the Huipe family. It just hadn’t been working. For her daughter’s birthday we gave her a picture of Jesus and some candy. The mom posted about it and it made my day. It was the miracle we have been praying for.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">We went on exchanges on Wednesday. After 1 year… I was finally able to be with my MTC companion Hna. Stewart (on the day that we hit a year!)!! My companions went to West Columbia and she came here. It was good to see her again. I just love her so much!! Our day together was super crazy. We had a 2 hour drive to get her and back. Then we went and made bracelets for some people we are teaching real quick. We went out and visited some people and had a lesson with Maria. We taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ with cut out footsteps. It was really cute because her 6 yr. old Diego joined in. He is just adorable and loved it! We invited her to be baptized and she said she would think about it. She knows it is an important thing and she just wants to do it for her own decision. Finally my favorite part of the night came. Arlen’s son Israel turned 16, so we went to his birthday party. We had pizza, cake, and this mexican soda. It was super fun. We were able to get to know Israel better and give him a bracelet that I made and some donuts. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Thursday morning I made an apple pie. We were going to do a picnic with David last week with a pie when he dropped us. But that all changed and he wanted to do it again. Hna. Maxfield was going to make it but she didn't have the time. It was a project indeed. It took lots of juggling and innovating, and what came out was a square pie. I didn't have a round pan so I did what I had to do. I made two little muffin ones and they were good. We ate them with pumpkin spice hot chocolate😋 (my favorite thing about Fall other than the leaves changing). We ended exchanges and met in the middle. We got Wendy's for lunch and then stuffed ourselves again with pie at David's house. He bought us little china plates. Then we went to the Mejias’ house and stuffed our face with tacos. They were soooo delicious. After that, we went and visited the part member family that we met while eating pupusas the other week. They are so nice and hilarious. They gave us pie and some hot chocolate. (I ate pie three times and hot chocolate twice that day.) We are going to their house for dinner next week.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">We went and taught Maria a quick lesson on Friday. She said she hadn’t decided about baptism yet. She really wants to come to church with us. Then we went and taught a part member family. Her name is Johany. She wants to come to church and take the lessons! She invited us to come over the next day and teach her again! Then we went to the Huipe’s house. She texted us and asked if we could still come over. She confirmed the appointment! We showed them a little video and then we drew pictures of things that we are grateful for. Then we went to visit another part-member family. Her name is Humberta. She is a hoot. I will write all about her next week.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">On Saturday, we ended up teaching all her kids that sandwich analogy. Then we went to a wedding. We met this lady named Maria across the street from another Maria on the same road as Maria with the baby. We went to her wedding reception and had free food. We kind of got attacked passive aggressively by some of the people sitting at our table. I told a lady that her english was really good and she went, “This is my country too.” Ouch. Maria wants us to come over after her honeymoon. She also just got baptized, but we are still going to teach her. Then we played fútbol and I about died. I am still not in shape yet. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yesterday, we woke up at 5:30am to trek across the country. Hna. Hanson taught a guy named Danny who got baptized in July while she was here. He passed away at the beginning of September. We drove 3 and a half hours to get to Conway by 10am. Perks of a trio is I was able to take a somewhat nap in the back. We went to church and then the viewing at 1pm. The funeral service was in a Methodist church (I have now been to Pentecostal, Evangelical, Shabbat, & Methodist churches. Welcome to the South!). I got to see some more missionaries, so that was super fun. Driving home was hilarious. We were all tired and sick of driving. We bought candy Saturday night for the drive. My comps. told me they didn't want any of my snacks, they lied. I shared anyway and Hna. Maxfield apparently loves sunflower seeds too. When she wanted more she said, "My tongue is going through withdrawals. (And in her best scary/gollum voice) Give it to me." We went by someone's house later that night. We stopped by and it was kind of sketchy. It was dark and we couldn't see their house number. We asked if Griaciela lived there and she did. It was a bit awkward at first but it got better. We explained we are missionaries and told her how she possibly filled out a website. She remembered doing that. We set up a lesson for next Sunday a lot earlier. Juan told us that sometimes people sell drugs in that trailer park and it isn't super safe at night</span><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont;

We woke up at 4:15am (not the fun part) and drove a hour and a half to a chapel on top of a mountain called Pretty Place. It is this chapel that doesn’t have walls and the pews face out towards the mountains/hills. We watched the sunrise and it was sooo cool. I was freezing but it was worth it. I should’ve realized the sister I asked about the weather doesn’t get cold. After it was over we drove back a hour to go play games at a church. I got chick-fil-a for breakfast and it was actually pretty good. Then I played chair soccer for the first time in 6 months! I was nervous but it was fun. I think I’ll keep staying away from basketball. Afterwards, we went to Bella’s house. She had told us that she wanted to postpone her baptism a couple days earlier. After talking to her, she still wants to be baptized. She just told us she hasn’t fully gotten rid of coffee. We told her we could help with that. Sweet Arlen came with us and then stayed and talked with Bella after we left. Bella will be baptized just in a couple more weeks.</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">On Tuesday we had our last DCM of the transfer. Hna. Maxfield gave her first discussion and she did great. We talked about the importance of extending invitations. Our purpose as missionaries is to, “Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.” Our purpose is to invite people unto Christ and help them follow Him. Invitations are key. For district lunch we went to a place called Willy’s tacos. I was kind of ify about it because I eat hispanic food all the time, but it was really good. I got a taco called Mother Clucker.😂 What’s with the names! It was actually quite delicious. It had chicken lettuce, bacon, queso, and some other things. I would get it again! Then we went and taught David. We told him we only had 30 minutes for a lesson and he talked for most of it. It is a good thing he actually reads the things that we give him because he talks so much in our lessons. We taught him the Word of Wisdom. After that we drove straight up to Gaffney to teach Esteban. He was just not understanding the Law of Chastity so we left a little frustrated. Later that night we went and visited the Calecio family. Their daughter is 8 and hasn’t been baptized yet. They are soooo sweet. They gave us this pan dulce called concha. I ate most of it and then finished it later with some hot chocolate. Esteban gave us right after we got home from English Class. I then proceeded to teach him the Law of Chastity again because my comps didn’t want to. I answered all his questions and now he isn’t as confused.</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">We taught Lucero and Gaby again on Wednesday. We taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ. We invited them to be baptized. They agree with us on the importance of it. They want to think about it first. Then we went and ate a really early dinner with the Mejias. When we finished Hna. Mejia showed us how to make Masa (dough) for tortillas, sopes, empanadas etc. It was super fun and pretty easy, you just can’t make the dough too dry or wet. After that we went to go visit this family that Elder Oliveira gave us. We went over and no one answered (we saw a face of child in the door). We were in the process of writing a note when they pulled up. They were really excited to see us. We talked to them for a minute and got to know them. Caren and Angel are the parents. Then all of a sudden Caren asks us if we want to go visit her family that aren't members. We were like SURE! So we went over and met Doris, Jordy, and Gimena. We got to know them for a minute. Then we sang "There is Sunshine in my Soul Today" with a ukelele with them. It was super fun. We invited them to meet again, come to our ward party/fútbol, and to church! They are super excited to meet again! To finish off our night we finally met this guy named Wilson. We taught him in a Circle K parking lot. It was very different than what I have done before. It was cold, so I will prepare for next time. He likes the lessons and he wants to learn more!</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">We finally had a Spanish Conference in person on Thursday!!! I have only done one during training over zoom. It was so good and I learned so much. It was out in Columbia, so it was a little drive. I really liked that at one point we started about focusing on prayer. If people understand prayer and how they receive their answers to it, they will see when they receive them. Praying to know if the things we teach are true won’t be as hard. God always answers our prayers. Sometimes we are just to caught up in the things that are happening in our lives to see it. For lunch the fed us this giant taco and flan. It was good, but not the same as authentic food. Then we went and taught Johany again. Her son Josue wouldn’t let us in so we kind of forced ourselves in. We taught him and then the whole family came in. It was funny because they didn’t want us to leave. Afterwards, we went and taught Silvino in the church. We taught him about prayer and then gave him a church tour. He is super sweet and we are hoping that he will accept to be baptized. He asked us about fast offerings, so we explained that and the difference between it and tithing. He stayed for English Class and it went great. As usual, Esteban called us after it got over. We retaught his tithing and fast offering for 30 minutes. </span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">On Friday, we went and taught Maria again. If you remember from a couple previous emails 3 Marias live on one street. Before we went over for the lesson we went and visited Maria E. Not sure how interested she is, but she said she is coming to church. I am not to fond of houses that have lots of animals I’ve realized because we leave smelling like pee or them. Then we taught Maria with Hna. Ramirez. Such a good lesson!! Hermana Ramirez was able to come, and it seemed like they got along super well. We talked about the sacrament and what it represented. After that we followed up on the book of Mormon, and Maria said that she had been listening to it and listens while she is cooking. Hermana Ramirez testified of the bom to her, and Maria mentioned something about how she had a dream or a memory about what is talked about in 3 nephi 11, but hadn't ever read that chapter before. Hermana Ramirez was really taken back and thought that was cool. She offered maria a ride to the church, and said she could help bring over DVDs/ etc that could help her understand better. Maria said how she was so confused by all the churches and was wanting to know which church was true and said thankfully we came to her. Then we ate dinner with Hna. Zapata after so long. She is doing good. We are trying to get her back to church, but she is scared of covid. Afterwards, we went to our ward party. We had a hoedown. It was super fun! We ate bbq, beans, macaroni, and cake for our second dinner. Caren and Doris and their families came! It was super awesome. We square danced with them and played soccer. It was a blast! Then we went and visited Isabel Huipe. We shared a scripture and talked about going to Pretty Place. We related how the world is cold and dark but the sun always rises. Our lives may fee or be cold and dark, but Jesus Christ will always be there. Nothing can stop Him from bringing sunshine and warmth.</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Saturday morning we drove all the way out to see the Sanchez family. The elders were there and they didn’t answer. So we drove 40 minutes to have a lesson with Lucero and her daughter Gaby. We did a Book of Mormon read with them. We read the first chapter and related it to their lives. It was cool because Lucero made a comment about it. She related it to herself without us even showing her that one. As we left she gave us some yummy layered cake, cookies, and tamales. Everything was delicious. After that we went and visited Brother Bright. He is going through a super hard time. His wife doesn’t have much longer. She is in the last stretch of her dementia. Even through this grieving he told us he is so excited for when he can come out and help us with lessons. Then we raced to the church for a baptism, again not ours. The elders were baptizing this cute African lady named Zuhura and Hna. Maxfield was going to play the piano. Zuhura said her name and then Elder Davis baptized her because he couldn’t remember her name. Her name was really long. It was pretty funny. Then we raced back to the Sanchez’ 40 minutes away. This time they actually let us in. It had been ages since we had seen them. We had a really good lesson. We read 2 Nephi 31 with them (with the elders) and I was able to teach Mia about the restoration. She is so sweet and has such a desire to learn. They just need to actually answer our calls and the door. Then we raced back to the church for fútbol night. It wasn’t as fun as usually but I have a nice battle scar now. I was trying to steal the ball and I totally kicked Alex so hard. It was an accident and he was fine. I made a goal and then the pain set in after my adrenaline left. It hurt! I have a giant bruise on my ankle now. </span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">On Sunday, we had ward coord. and then church. I am super pumped for this trunk or treat that they are planning. After that we went to Esteban’s house and about died. He told us he didn’t want to be baptized after we sat there for a hour plus while Hna. Rosas shared her testimony and talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ. We didn’t know quite what to do after that. He totally flicked away the baptismal preparation card we gave him. Then we went to that lady’s house with the part wolf dog. We talked to a guy across the street and he let me try and pet his dog. The dog’s name was Bishop and he bit me. It was a good thing that I was wearing a cardigan and that’s all he got. We went in with it to knock on the door. The daughter answered the door and was not nice at all. She told us that she wouldn’t be responsible for what would happen. Inferring that Sam would attack us. Dog’s aren’t my favorite animals right now. Right as we were getting into our car they pulled up. So we got out and went for our lesson again. It was a bit awkward at first but it got better. We are visiting them next week. Not sure how interested they are, but we are going to see. Then we taught Wilson again in the Circle K parking lot. It is very interesting doing that. He is super nice and we hope that he is going to come to church. Esteban called us later that night and was a totally different person. He still wants to be baptized and wants our help. This made us happy but we didn’t know if he was going to say no again.</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">On Monday, we taught David again. He is not totally sure about baptism quite yet. Which is okay because we don’t know if he could be baptized very soon anyway. Then we taught Johany. She didn’t have very much time. I was just glad that she didn’t start breast feeding her baby all of a sudden. Kind of interesting when that happens in lessons. She was watching 3 babies including hers so we told her we’d come over the next day. We then decided to go and visit Doris and her son Jordy. We hadn’t seen them since the hoedown. They were home so we taught them about prayer. We are going to watch General Conference with them hopefully. Doris’s husband Ricardo is a member and seemed excited about it. Then something happened that I have been waiting 2 months for, we got to have dinner with the Ramirez family. She fed us that yummy steak, bacon, and bean soup again. It was heavenly with her hand made tortillas. After eating 1 ½ helpings, we went to go teach Silvino. We taught him about prophets in a video call. He loves what we are teaching him.</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Yesterday we went and taught Maria in the morning. She is just the cutest. Hermana Ramirez came with us and helped. She is just so amazing. She let Maria borrow a DVD player so she could watch “The Testament.” Maria told us in her last lesson that she heard in some Guatemalan history about 3 days of darkness. I’m excited for her to watch that because it is one of my favorites. Hna. Ramirez invited her to watch General Conference at her house! and to go to Sally’s 13th birthday party! Then we went back home for lunch… and we got a call from president. Hna. Hanson and I are still training, BUT we are getting a new trainee. Hna. Maxfield is moving 20 minutes away to Inman. She is going to be comps with Hna. Marcheschi (I would love to be comps. with her). So she won’t be too far away. I was making cookie dough when we found all of this out. That soothed my stress. Esteban called us and asked if we were going over, so we did instead. Hna. Rosas came and it was like a total flip of a switch happened. He is now on date to be baptized on the 10th of October! He got his heart port taken out and he wants to be baptized as soon as possible! I am so excited!!! Bambi and a cat joined in on our lesson. I got some funny pictures.The rest of our lessons canceled or weren’t there so we visited someone. They also weren’t there. On the way to English class we got Krispy Kreme doughnuts. My vaccine card is paying off. Then we got Popeyes for dinner. Dinner for 2 fed us three. English class was fun, even though only one person showed up. We acted out things like charades and it was super fun. </span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">I’ll let you all know how transfers go and all about my new companion next week.

For p-day we went to downtown Greenville to a place called “Falls Park on the Reedy.” It is a reclaimed waterfall in the middle of the city. It was gorgeous and I can’t wait to go back. We signed journals and just enjoyed nature in the middle of the city. My phone heated up and turned off (it is broken and I need a new one) so I stuck it in a plastic bag in the river. It survived and started working again. Then we went to see the Huipe family. They are so much fun. We made origami roses with them. We related it to God’s creations and how we are his favorite. He loves us so much and wants us to be happy. All of us are different for a reason. Later, we had a lesson with Bella and invited her to watch General Conference.</span></span></p><span style="color: #e69138;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Thursday was transfers so we drove to Columbia. Hna. Maxfield got all packed up and ready. Instead of going to Inman straight away she went to Charleston because her new companion has covid. We went to the training meeting and then finally met Hermana Marvin. She is just adorable and has so much energy. We went and got chick-fil-a. We had a phone call lesson with Esteban. What we have taught him is finally sticking!! Then we went to the Mejias for dinner. They fed us empanadas and taught us how to make them. They also taught us how to make arroz con leche. My amount of recipe videos are growing. Afterwards we had a lesson with Silvino before English Class. He is a sweetheart and loves learning. We are going to invite him to be baptized super soon! English Class was really fun this time. We honestly learned more Spanish than they learned English. Alex taught us new words. Falto mucho con mi Español.</span></span></p><span style="color: #e69138;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On Friday, we went and had a lesson with David. He finished another painting that is super awesome. Then we raced over to Caren’s house. We actually got to teach them a lesson this time. They are just the sweetest. We talked to them about prophets and General Conference. They said they would come to watch conference on Sunday… they didn’t actually come, but that is okay. They gave us a ton of tamales on the way out. Later that night I experienced my second Hispanic birthday party. Hna. Ramirez’s daughter Sally turned 13. We had this pork in spicy sauce with tortillas and pizza. Hna. Hanson and Marvin were dying from the spice and I was totally fine. I have apparently acclimated to the spiciness here. We needed to leave but they started to do the cake and asked us to stay. </span><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sally was right next to me and her aunt was telling me with her hands and eyes to smash Sally into the cake. I caved into peer pressure and did it. I got her good! I felt super bad after, but kept telling me it is tradition. If I wouldn't have done it they said someone else would’ve. </span></span></p><span style="color: #e69138;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Saturday morning we watched the first session of Conference by ourselves in our apartment. It was funny because Hna. Hanson was just chilling underneath her desk, I was on the floor, and Hna. Marvin was lounging on the couch. After that, we went and watched it with the Mejias. They fed us Pizza and this squishy bread for dessert. Spanish is super hard to understand when you are tired sitting on a comfy couch. I learned a lot even through the brain fog. Then we went and had a lesson with Silvino. The Mejias shared really strong testimonies about the gospel and talked about how it. We are super excited to keep teaching him. To end the night we played fútbol and my team got creamed. I am not the mvp. The pizza was not sitting well in my stomach.</span></span></p><span style="color: #e69138;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Here are some of my thoughts about General Conference. It was amazing as always. I loved everything about it. It always helps me went I get to hear from a prophet and apostles of the Lord. I loved the talk from Dieter F. Uchtdorf. He said something like, “Do you want to change your life? Change your day. A day has the same format of your life. You start doing something and end it doing something else.” I sometimes have the problem of procrastination. I think I’ll just do it tomorrow, but it never happens. We don’t know what will happen tomorrow so we need to change today. One theme that I saw was how much God loves us. He loves us more than we could ever imagine.</span></span></p><span style="color: #e69138;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Sunday morning we broadcasted General Conference in the church on a tv. We thought that we had it figured out but we didn’t. We ended up having the tv’s sound off and Hna. Hanson’s phone playing it in spanish placed in a cup to amplify the sound. Esteban, Hna. Rosas, and Daniel came and joined us. Then Bishop Andersen came to meet Esteban and talk about his baptism. We translated and figured out what time it is going to happen. After that, we spent the next 30 minutes planning his baptism. He is so excited and can’t wait. It has been cool to see a transformation in him. For the next session we went to the Ramirez’s house. Maria, Deigo, and Valentina her baby watched it with us. It was super cute because at the end Maria was waiting for more. We talked about temples with her and she really likes them. For dinner, we went to Bishop’s house. He fed us tacos that were actually really good. His family is just so sweet and absolutely hilarious. We played this funny egyptian dice game with his son Gavin. I am so grateful that our ward is so supportive and always willing to help us out. </span></span></p><span style="color: #e69138;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Hna. Marvin is hilarious and I just had to include this thing that happened. My stomach has been acting weird for the past couple of days. I come out of the bathroom and Hermana Marvin goes,"If your dukey is cray cray, don't forget the spray spray (after I sprayed our Hawaiian air freshener). Then she looks straight at me and said, "I have diarrhea pills, stool softener, probiotics, and gas-x.

The boys had fun fishing and we all enjoyed yummy food. One night the boys cooked up the trout they had caught. Another night we had tin foil dinners. Adam made a massive one for himself. We bet him $5 he couldn't eat it. Of course he had to prove us wrong. He was so full. He said he doesn't ever want to eat one again. Too be honest, it was big enough to feed two grown men. He is crazy for eating it. It was pretty funny to watch.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWp1Sa_hw_4OPtg3_KQjETk6cJoqX7VUYrYoNXPndFVmhidMGzsZD90nGfOLUaCFCOOAYSDOd8lWtDGLNzts2zCqKQgQJH8OYTCqZwCj3odo0O-NRnY07kBEQ_lL5uUiDrWlJtcaVzgJfS/s2048/IMG_4771+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWp1Sa_hw_4OPtg3_KQjETk6cJoqX7VUYrYoNXPndFVmhidMGzsZD90nGfOLUaCFCOOAYSDOd8lWtDGLNzts2zCqKQgQJH8OYTCqZwCj3odo0O-NRnY07kBEQ_lL5uUiDrWlJtcaVzgJfS/w640-h480/IMG_4771+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Ethan wanted to swim in the Logan River.

I am so happy the temples are open again.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLi2isLpQJWZUt134N0vHUPuWqsCSdEa9LBo4_uLk5uWQSc5NP_GUbVrenpiq52Y_eYPaYcb7jL5ViFrYEMeHM0DYgE5EvPnMBa4TEDQ-2SEteW3InyFcWPQ3ydJF9lKhABDPO8HiRT1sF/s2048/IMG_4655.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLi2isLpQJWZUt134N0vHUPuWqsCSdEa9LBo4_uLk5uWQSc5NP_GUbVrenpiq52Y_eYPaYcb7jL5ViFrYEMeHM0DYgE5EvPnMBa4TEDQ-2SEteW3InyFcWPQ3ydJF9lKhABDPO8HiRT1sF/w640-h480/IMG_4655.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">swimming with cousins</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilw0pj-btgLsyTi3jx8nnZySmEmhA06oXBVYiKhyphenhyphendG0KhxOUpva-GqyRDXB1zALOOsz77C2oOOlnJkz968JmPisxM0lKULTczIDx_928QoRLgFUCMwjw1SvMacA7sVb7hs2vHxugClNiMr/s2048/IMG_5416+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilw0pj-btgLsyTi3jx8nnZySmEmhA06oXBVYiKhyphenhyphendG0KhxOUpva-GqyRDXB1zALOOsz77C2oOOlnJkz968JmPisxM0lKULTczIDx_928QoRLgFUCMwjw1SvMacA7sVb7hs2vHxugClNiMr/w640-h360/IMG_5416+%25281%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">September 24, 2021</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Ethan is so happy to be 13.

I got home and just didn’t want to write one. Probably most of you don’t know what happened when I got home so I will start at the beginning.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">I got home expecting that I was going to be having surgery. The x-ray that they took was showing a little bit of improvement. The doctors decided to wait. So I waited and waited and waited… I did art, played with my puppies, and I helped the missionaries in my home ward. I went with them to lessons and helped teach. We had one family that we were teaching that the dad only spoke spanish. So I translated for him. It was a really fun and cool experience. The elders are hoping that they will get baptized! My doctor had me start doing some physical therapy. I was able to get enough strength back into my arm that I needed. My last x-ray that was taken 3-4 weeks ago showed a lot of bone growth. With that I got the A okay to go back into the mission field. Some paper work later, packing, goodbyes, and a plane ride late and now I am back. Hence the title back in black. (Let me tell you though, saying good bye the second time was harder than the first. I knew that my mission wasn’t done, so I had to get back out here and finish my work. The funny thing is now I will have 2 of leaving home and coming home.)</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">My new companion’s name is Hermana Hanson! She is super awesome. She was companions with Hermana Berry right before I was. I met her at transfers back in December. She is from Highland, Utah and has been out on her mission for 13 ½ months. I might be with her for the rest of her mission. Which is fine with me because we get along great. I love her so much in only the short amount of days that we have been together.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We are in Boiling Springs, SC. We live in a little city nearby it. We white washed into our area which means neither one of us has been her before! We don’t know anybody! It is crazy. We are exhausted because of putting our apartment together and trying to figure out our area. We cover a Spanish group that is in a ward. We were told that we have a lot of work to do, but we are pumped. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Thursday night was crazy. We got to our apartment and unloaded our stuff. Our area book wasn’t loading so we didn’t know what plans may or may not have been put in for the day. So we went to Chik-fil-a for dinner and called a lot of people. Of course our area book loaded around 9pm and showed us we had missed a dinner appointment, lesson, and ENGLISH CLASS! That is a pretty awful first impression. We called and said sorry and hopefully we can change that first impression.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We rescheduled the dinner appointment for Friday and were able to meet the Mejia family. They are sooo nice. They are an older couple that apparently feed us every Thursday at 5:30pm. I am super excited for that. Hermana Hanson didn’t think we would have food when we got there but I knew we would. They fed us potato sopes and arroz con leche. It was delicious. I have missed Hispanic food so much. We shared a powerful message and they said that they would help us with anything we needed!</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Saturday, we went and taught Antonio and Elisibeth. We started talking and they told us that they were celebrating Shebat. Which is part of the Jewish religion. I am going to have to study more about this so I’m not confused. They invited us to come to Shabat sometime and said that they might come to church with us. Later, we went to have a lesson and the guy wasn’t there. His brother started talking to us and said that he knows one of the members. He occasionally asks him questions about the Bible and Christ. We set up a lesson with him on Wednesday this week. Last but not least, we had fútbol night. We got there so excited to have tons of people, but only one person showed up. It ended up working out. I fixed the goal posts, and we kicked around the balls. We started talking to him and set up a time to talk after an English class.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Sunday was honestly crazy. One of us was asked to give a talk on Come Follow Me on Friday. We couldn’t decide who should do it and finally Hermana Hanson was like I will. I thought nothing of it. A couple days later I realized that I had to translate it! The sacrament meeting is in english. So the spanish members wear headphones while I wear the one with a mic and translate everything. It was kind of terrifying. I got asked to speak in two weeks and I am thinking that I will do half english and half spanish.</span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Today was a pretty chill day. We lazed around and then went to a dam we found. One of the sisters told us that there is a path along the river. So we decided to go for a walk . It was a lot of fun and muddy! We skipped rocks, swang on a weird vine rope, caught frogs, and enjoyed the scenery. </span></span></p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Les amo!

We got all the way to the church (35 minutes away) and there were no cars there. We totally spaced that we did not have it because we were going to have Zone Conference. So we just chilled and did our stuff at the church. Then went from the church to Gaffney (aka Gaffrica because it is sooo far away) for our lesson with Esteban. We get there and Esteban is just this adorable 70 year old man. He was telling us his back ground story of how he lived on the streets. He wasn’t homeless, but he said he drank, smoked, swore, and other things. Then he proceeded to tell us how some people greet each other in Mexico. He said it in Spanish and of course Hermana Hanson and I didn’t understand what he said. So he said it in English and it was the F💣! 😂 He said it I think twice and I said to him that that word is bad! He started laughing and said he has changed his ways. He is going to be a fun guy to teach. We are trying to get him baptized but he has a dialysis port on his chest and it apparently needs to be moved to his arm. We are going to look into that. That night we did English class for the first time out here. We had three people show up! wooo hooo! I am really hoping that more people will show up.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">We had Zone Conference on Thursday and it was a blast! I haven’t been to a Zone Conference since back in March. It has been a hot a minute. It was super fun seeing some of the people that I know and getting some great trainings. I learned so much and I am going to incorporate that into my teaching. </span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Here are some of the cool things that I learned. President Monson did a training on contacting Less Active families or Part-Member families. It is the story of Alma and Amulek (Alma 8). Alma was having no luck in the city of Ammonihah so he left. He was told by an angel to return and the someone would invite him into his house. So, he went back and he met Amulek who let him into his house. He proceeded to ask for Amulek’s help in teaching the people. In Alma 10: 12 it says, “And now, when Amulek had spoken these words the people began to be astonished, seeing there was more than one witness who testified of the things whereof they were accused, and also of the things which were to come, according to the spirit of prophecy which was in them." The people believed more because Amulek was their friend or neighbor. He was another testimony. Alma had promised Amulek in 10:7, “...he shall bless thee and thy house; and the blessing of the Lord shall rest upon thee and thy house." So President told us to go to members and share this story and ask them to be our Amulek for a certain person that we are teaching. I am excited to try it out. Apparently it works because it worked in The Book of Mormon. I also learned how to make a baptism calendar to prep the people that we have on date for baptism (or that we will have…). We also learned about the parables of “the lost things” in Luke 15. I invite you all to study that and see how you can find those that are lost. As well as how you will help them feel found. After receiving all this great revelation we ate dinner with the Mejias. We are thinking of people to ask them to be Amuleks for.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">On Friday I noticed in our Area Book that we had a dinner appointment with the Concha family, but I could not find their information. I finally found out who they were and we texted to see if it was okay if we came over. We went over and it turns out they had never met the elders before us. They go to a different building for church. The perk was they are super nice. They have three kids that are just the cutest things ever. I wanted to hold their almost 2 year old daughter sooo bad. We shared a message about the importance of reading scriptures and praying as a family. After that we ate dinner and it was delicious. As we were leaving they told us that we could contact them anytime or come over anytime. They want to help us with our lessons!!!</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;"> We went to lunch with Luis, one of the people we are teaching on Saturday. It was super fun. We ended up talking about Jesus Christ and the gospel while we were eating. He then all of a sudden asks us the importance of Joseph Smith. I was like well I can totally tell you about that. Hermana Hanson couldn’t remember how to teach it so I taught him it. It was cool to see how my Spanish just flowed out of my mouth. I was receiving help from the Holy Ghost to speak and he was testifying to Luis. It was really cool and was a little tender mercy. He said that he understood everything and it made sense. He didn’t make it to church, but he said that he is going to come next week (the day I am going to be speaking!)</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">I’ll get to the meaning of my title now. I have been told by multiple people now that I Iook like I am from Costa Rica💃🏽. I have the face shape, skin tone, and body type. I explained to them that my parents grew up in Utah and my ancestors are from Europe. Even with telling them this they won’t relent.😂 So I am officially from Costa Rica. I hope my Spanish will become good enough to pull that off.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Sunday was GREAT! Hermana Hanson translated sacrament meeting. After we had a lesson with Esteban, so we drove to Gaffrica. We met a member named Maria Rosas. She is so amazing! She shared such a strong testimony in our lesson. She taught so much stuff (kind of took over the lesson, but it was fine😂). She does so much for Esteban and is going to help us get him baptized. She is such a great missionary. She teaches better than we can! Then we quickly sped over to our dinner appointment with the Ramirez family. They fed us soooo good. Apparently they had set dinners with the elders every Sunday. Their daughter suggested doing it again, so we might have set dinners!</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Something really cool that happened later that night was we went to meet a referral we received. His name is David. We went over at 8:30pm and did the lesson outside. He is super nice. He told us that he recently just got out of jail and told us his life story. He told us how God kept telling him what was going to happen if he kept going his way. All of those things happened. David said that he has this thing where he sometimes knows what is going to happen to someone. He tells them about it and they don’t believe him, but it ends up happening. He feels like he is behind a glass wall and he can’t do anything to help them. I told him that that is how our Heavenly Father feels. He tells us not to do things and we still do them. Then he has to watch us go through the consequences and it is hard. David has decided to finally find a church. He wants to come to church with us and have a Book of Mormon. Throughout this lesson the Spirit was present so much and sooo strong. I almost started crying.</span></span></p><span style="color: #800180;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #800180;">Well that’s all for this week.

Wow this week just flew by so quickly and a lot of crazy things happened. Last P-day was super fun. We got together as a zone and played chair soccer and volleyball. I still can not play either of those things so I sat on the sideline as usual. BUT… we had cake. It was one of the elder’s birthday and someone brought a cake. Then we played an intense game of Sorry. We were killing each other without mercy and Hermana Hanson ended up winning.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">We had DCM on Tuesday and it was great. I “played” the piano for it. It was nice to get to know my new district. They all seem pretty great. After that we drove to Gaffrica for our lesson with Esteban. He is just so adorable, but loves to go on little rants. We haven’t figured out our plan of action to stop that. Then to sum up the day no one came to English class. That was a big bummer. Hopefully that doesn’t ever happen again.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Wednesday was a great day. We had a dinner appointment with the Tilley family. The mom Daniela speaks Spanish. We ate chicken parmesan and got to hear their whole life story. They met because her husband moved down to her country with his family in high school. She was a recent convert. They wrote each other while he was on his mission. He went on a Spanish speaking mission. So he surprised her by speaking Spanish fluently. Then he went up to Ricks and she thought he was going to ask her to be his girlfriend. nope! He told her that he had a girlfriend. Kind of crushed her but she moved on. He got the feeling that she was the one for him. He flew out here to SC to visit her and proposed which was not planned. They saw each other 3 other times after and got married. They totally skipped dating, but it all worked out. They have 4 kids that are super awesome. Daniela and her husband said that they would help us out with our lessons! </span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Later that day, we had a lesson with Bella. It was super spirit filled. We read with her where she is in the Book of Mormon. It ended up being the part where Laman and Lemuel tie up Nephi and leave him. I shared the part of where God loosens his bands and doesn’t give him the strength to break them. Sometimes things happen in our life that we don’t expect or don’t want. God knows what we need and sees the bigger picture. Bella opened up and started telling us about some things that she is going through. She told us that what I shared it true and it has happened to her. I could just see a weight lift off of her as we talked to her. We were running late becuase we shared that, but it was worth it. We got to David’s house and taught him. He told us he is in awe of how the Book of Mormon is just answering his questions and giving him confirmation. We had a really good lesson! I love teaching him. (Here is a story from the first time we met him that Ieft out of my last email. We were about to leave his house and me being stupid decided not to back the car. It was dark and it was a bussy ish road. Well… we ran over his mailbox. The box was legit squished. Such a great first impression to make. He said it was okay and was sooo nice. The next day he had a new one. We are going to either pay him or make him lots of cookies. Needless to say I am always going to back the car!)</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">We had these carrot and potato enchiladas at the Mejias house for our weekly dinner appointment. They were super good. We have been talking to their daughter Laura a lot. She is not interested in being taught, but we can still be her friends. After we went straight to english class and people actually came.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Ok to get to my title. We went to our weekly dinner appointment with Hermana Zapata. We had never met her before. She is from the Dominican Republic and is super sweet. We also met her friend Gloria. They are both so old and adorable. Heraman Zapata has a ton of pet birds. One of them is named Pepe and he mostly talks in Spanish. Apparently an american girl had come over once and taught him to say hello. So whenever he sees white girls he says hello and whistles. I got hit on and catcalled by a bird.😂 It was awesome! After that we rushed with the Mejias to visit some less active families. We met Irma, she is super nice. We all shared our testimonies and invited her to come back to church. We went to visit her son and his family but they weren’t home. The good thing is that the Mejias are going to do this with us EVERY week! Our Spanish group isn’t very big, but the members we do have are amazing!</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">We went out to lunch with Luis last Saturday and he wanted to do it again this week. We went to a restaurant called ”Satanas Mexican Grill.” I cracked up because it sounds like Satan's restaurant because Satan in Spanish is satanás. So we went to eat at Satan’s Mexican Grill. In our last lesson we explained Joseph Smith. This time we taught about the apostasy and why we needed the restoration, priesthood, BOM, and prayer. It was awesome! He said that he already has a BOM and we invited him to read it and pray. We didn’t end up having la noche de fútbol because we got rained out. That also sucked but it worked out. We were able to find someone and set up a lesson with Ana for the next day.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">I got asked to speak 2 weeks ago and the day finally came. I had my talk all the way written and I didn’t feel like I could take up the whole 10 minutes that I was assigned. I gave half of my talk in english and half in Spanish. I spoke and then looked down at my watch. It was 12:30pm! our church starts at 11:30am. It took 20 minutes! The bad thing was that there was another speaker, musical number, closing song, and prayer. I am one of those people. I felt so bad! Our bishop said that we were going to have the next lady give her full talk, the musical number, and we would only sing the first verse of the closing song. He said he didn’t care if we went over. At least my talk was good, at least that is what people told me. Hermana Hanson didn’t have to translate the talks because she asked Sally to do it (Hna. Ramirez’s 12 yr. old daughter) She did awesome. I am hoping she will translate for me next week. If not, it will give me practice.</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Then our day just stayed crazy. We ended up being in the car for 3 hours. We went to the opposite sides of our huge area. We had a lesson with Esteban again. He is getting surgery to have his port moved from his heart to his arm on the 29th or 30th! That means that he can get baptized soon. He still wants to be baptized thank goodness. We have a lot of work to do! After his lesson got over we drove an hour to Greenville for our lesson with Ana. She is so amazing. She wants to find peace and purpose in her life. We shared pieces of the plan of Salvation with her and gave her a pamphlet. We are going to have to pass her off unless she moves into our giant area. Then we drove 30 minutes to our dinner appointment. All the driving and traffic made us late. Hermana Ramirez said that we could come whenever and that we need to eat to work. She is soo sweet and made us feel a lot better. We ate chicken with napoles (if that is how you spell that). Napoles is cactus. So we had chicken, rice, and cactus. It was really good. I like cactus. They made a watermelon juice which was actually watermelon blended up with sugar. Then for dessert we had a milkshake that Sally made. I could not breathe because of how full I was. I think my favorite part of Sunday was the spiritual thought that we shared with them. We did the Alma and Amulek thing that I talked about in my last email. We shared Alma 10:12 and talked about how we need members. We need their testimonies and how people will listen to them more. I then shared the end of verse 7 which talks about the family being blessed. The spirit was super strong. The dad started to get teary eyed. I can’t wait to share this with more families. The Ramirez family is bomb and will help us with the group so much!</span></span></p><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

We did something before that I love doing at home, but I had never done it on my mission... We did a Bob Ross painting tutorial! It was awesome. It didn't turn out great. Kind if hard to do Bob Ross paintings with cheap paper and acrylic paint. Nonetheless it was great! P day to remember. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">A tender mercy happened on Tuesday. Hermana Hanson and I have been trying so hard to get people to come to English class. One day we spent an hour or two posting ads in FB groups and friending people. We also did a lot of praying. Well it paid off! We had 20-25 people come to our English class. It went from zero to that. Now we can start finding people to teach using English classes.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">On Wednesday I went on an exchange to Gaffrica! It was super fun. We ended up spending the whole day in a town called Union. It is the booneys, but it is cute. Hermana Lafontaine told me that if somethings fell through we would go teach this homeless lady at a park. We went and taught a lesson to a guy named Thomas. He smokes so then we smelled like smoke but it was worth it. We did the Donaldson papers method using the BOM with him. It is a really good way to show people that we can relate it to our lives. I all of a sudden get a thought and feeling that we should ask him to be baptized. I have never met this dude before and it was Hna. Lafontaines second lesson with him. Then she started to talk about baptism and we invited him to be baptized. We asked him to pray and pick a date. He said that he knew God would give him a day. It was really cool because we both got the same prompting at the exact same time. After that we went and taught a gospel doctrine class. It was about baptism and just strenghthened my testimony about that. Baptism is the first ordinance and a gate way to the other ordinances. I really like Mosiah 18: 8-10. It talks about the covenants we make when we are baptized. I am going to try to remember those and I partake of the sacrament. There was a senior missionary there named Sister May. She is super sweet. I found out that she had a kitten and had to see it before we left. (Senior missionaries can do so much more things than we can. Double standards! It is okay though because if we could do what they can do we probably wouldn't get very much missionary work done.) The kitten's name is cowboy. He could not quit chewwing on my hand. He liked my hand more than his toy. We had a really cool spiritual experience with Sister May. She asked us to share how our faith has grown being out on our missions. I shared that I have went through some things that have felt more like trials than experiences. It is because none of my "trials" have been anything compared to losing my brother. They just felt like experiences that I had to go through in life. Getting hurt on my mission and then all the pain and struggle I went through has been the closest I have gotten to a trial. She then told me that my brother is my guardian angel and he is with me more than I know. We all were crying at this point. That reminded me of the scripture in D&C 84:88 and it says, "And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up." I love this scripture and it is so true. We are surrounded by angels that are supporting us. We got to their apartment around 10pm and the huge peach is right next to it. The peach was lit up and it was pretty cool. I will never get bored of that giant peach (it reminds people of James and the Giant Peach).</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"> As we were leaving Thursday morning to go switch back we realized we forgot to eat the brownies their neighbor gave us. So we turned around the whole minute we had driven and ran up and got them. They were super yummy. We met up with Hna. Hanson and the sister she was with at this pizza restuarant. We bought an 18 inch pizza. It was giant and a lot of fun to eat. We each got to huge slices. We ate dinner at the Mejias and taught their grandson a lesson. He is a member but doesn{t really know much. Then we had English class late that night. We had 6 people there which is really good for this class. My favorite part was after it was over I was putting the keys back in the lock box and there was a frog on the door. I caught him and named him George. I let him hop around by the door for a minute and then I let him go. I have honestly caught so many frogs and toads during my mission. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">We went to go eat at Hermana Zapatas house on Friday, but she said she didn't have a ton of time. She was so sweet and gave us some containers with food. So we drove to a park to eat it and when we parked we realized we didn't have utensils... So we embarked to find a Wendys. On the way to Wendys we saw this custard place called Andys and decided why not. As we were looking at the menu a car motions us over. The guy was holding a temple recommend and said someone must have dropped it. Well it was his! They were members. Turns out he grew up in Malad, Idaho. That's where my great grandpa is from and where my grandma grew up. He said his dad knew my grandpa and that they were great friends. I think he said that his last name was Williams. It is a small world after all. It brightened our day to meet them.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">On Saturday we drove up to Gaffney to help with a car wash. The sisters and their ward asked our district to come help. It was super fun. We did not wash the cars but we gave the people a church tour. Hermana Hanson and I gave one tour and then we became the sign holders. We went in front of the church in the blazing sun and advertised with signs. It was super fun because we jammed out to music. The car wash was a lot more successful than we thought it would be. Instead of going out to lunch with Luis he invited us over to his house for dinner. His sister made Mexican Steaks, rice, beans, and potatoes. It was delicious and we were finally able to teach his sister a lessson. She had not been taught for around a month. They invited us to come eat again next week. That night we had futbol night!! It started out slow and only the Tilley family came, but around 8pm we had around 15 people there. It was so much fun to watch. We are super excited about having more people come because we use this as a tool to find people. We have a lesson set up with Daniel and a lady named Iris and her family!</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Sunday was so awesome!! We were told that we could do a all Spanish fast and testimony meeting if we could get more than 12 people to come, members and nonmembers included. We were kind of worried that not a lot of people would come. We ended up having around 20-25 people there and 12 of them weren´t even members. Esteban came and so did 4 other people that we are teaching. It was so amazing. The testimonies were beautiful and the spirit was super strong. I almost started crying so many times. We went to Esteban's house after and taught him a lesson. When we got there they were all outside cooking and eating. We weren't going to stop fasting yet but they invited us to eat, so we ate. We ate chicken drumb sticks. They had bones and everything. I kind of felt like an animal eating it. They said that Esteban had drank a beer so Hermana Hanson and started freaking out. 5 minutes late they told us they were joking. I about had a heart attack. Esteban told us he hasn't drank coffee for a week. We have him on date for August 13th and he still wants to be baptized them. With a week and a half I am feeling a little overwhelmed with all that has to be done. Later that night we went and had dinner with Arlen Angeles. We were confused of why the Ramirez family canceled and then they showed up at her house. We at a thing called Tinga. It is pretty much a tostada with sour cream on it and then this chicken with onions. It was really good. The families here are so nice and they cook nice food too! After that we had a lesson set up with a guy named Alvaro. He lives in our same apartment complex. We asked him if we could do a lesson at the Tilley{s house (the family I talked about that the parents never dated before getting married) and he said yes. We got to their house and they canceled. So we figured to make the trip worth the while and say hi to them. We ended up spending an hour with them. I love their family so much! They are so sweet and fun. I am so glad that I get to spend time with them. They gave us ice cream and talked about a lot of stuff with them. Apparently the Jewish people we are teaching are Messianic Jews. My mind was blown and I am actually going to have to do some research.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Well that pretty much sums up my week.

I don't even know why. Probably because it is a phrase that is so true. Everything will be made better through Jesus Christ. No matter what we are going through or how we are feeling now, it will all work out. We are never ever alone in our lives. Christ suffered for everyone and everything. This brings me so much peace knowing I have someone to relate to. In the moments when I feel the darkness closing in, there is a glimmer of light and hope. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">This past P-day was very fun and wild like wild animals... We went to the Zoo!! It didn't dawn on me that there are zoos all over so why not go to one. It was a smaller one but it was still fun (Stop rhyming I mean it. Anybody want a peanut. Just had to add that in :) .) Lots of jokes were made like how baby giraffes are taller than me and baby arangatangs look like tiny old men.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Tuesday dinner time came around and I was starving. I had two options of things to make breakfast or Beef Stroganoff. I really wanted sausage but didn't want to admitt that to myself. Hna.

She asked if we could get her a bible. I had one BOM with me and I thought "why not. It wouldn't hurt." So I gave her it and she got super excited. She told us that she left her BOM back in Peru.😲 She met with the missionaries and loved it, but fell out of contact when they went home. She wants to start meeting with us again!</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We had another lesson with David on Wednesday. He is just so sweet. He showed us a painting that he had just finished. He said that often times we get stuck under the wave and can't breath. We need to pull ourselves out and enjoy the view and the ride. What is really cool is he loves reading the Book of Mormon. He showed us all the things he highlighted and things he related to his life. He is going through a hard time and wants more help from God. We told him about fasting and fasted with him. He was so grateful and he said he felt like more things were confirmed for him. After that we had another exchange this time with the STLs. We went to Cracker Barrel for dinner and it was delicious. Hermana Hanson and I shared our meals. She got a chicken pot pie and I got fried chicken. The food was delicious. We then went and ate again with Luis and Reyna. She made us homemade enchiladas and they were also delicious. We started to teach the lesson, and when I say we I mean me. Sister Burton does not speak a lick of Spanish😂. I taught them the second half of the plan of salvation. All of a sudden, Sister Burton puts a scripture in front of me. It was Mosiah 18:8-10. She didn't say to invite them to baptism, but I knew she was meaning that. I wasn't getting that prompting, but I did it anyway. I invited them to be baptized and they said yes! Their date is for Sept. 11th, so we will have faith and see how that goes. I learned a lot from this experience. Sometimes we both don't feel the spirit or recieve that revelation, but we still need to follow it. Only good will come. Never disregard spiritual promptings. When we do that they start happening less. When we follow them we show Heavenly Father that we are listening and ready for more guidance and direction. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"> </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We went over to Esteban's house on Thursday again. We have went over a lot this past week because we were getting ready for his baptism. We found out that he can't actually get baptized on the 13th. We thought that when he got his surgery the 30th it was for both his port in his heart and to add the port in his arm. Apparently, the only added the one to his arm. He has a surgery scheduled for te 12th. So he can't get baptized as he is recovering from surgery. We are going to move his date, but we don't know which day yet. Well, in this lesson we had Hna. Rosas with us. Esteban has had a hard time understanding the importance of the BOM. She went off and explained everything. Esteban relates with her and understandes her, so I didn't stop her. It ended up being really good becuase he said he would try more with the BOM. Then during our lesson on Sunday we asked him what he thought and if he prayed. He said that he believes the BOM is true and the word of God and that Joseph Smith was a prophet! That just made me soooo happy!</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">On Friday, we went to go meet this guy that we are teaching and we met his wife. She is super nice and speaks english. She is looking for another church to go to and she wants to come to ours! That is awesome! On the way to their house we passed this cool dam, so we went back and looked at it. It was a sketchy road but the pictures are worth it. After we went and visited this lady named Norma. She is super sweet. She is excited to read the BOM and to study with us. The funniest part of the day was when we got home our apartment smelled weird. Hermana Hanson started moaning and groaning about it. In her own words, "Why does it always have to smell like weed. Stop weeding!!" So the people above us were partying and smoking weed. We hope that 2nd hand weed doesn't exist.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Saturday morning I flinched awake to something moving on my arm. I thought it was a spider because I had found a giant one in the bathroom the other day. Nope... it was a flipping cockroach in my bed!! I caught him in a jar and named him Herv the Perv (sorry for the language. It was the first name that popped into my mind). Creepy little nasty thing. For lunch we ate grilled cheeses and were very much full when we got a call from Bro. Bright. He wanted to take us out to get BBQ with his wife. We could not say no so we went. We also wanted to get to know him better anyway because he served a Spanish speaking mission and retained a lot of it. He is super fun. His wife has really bad Dementia and it is amazing to see how he takes care of her. It is really sweet because it would be really hard and he just shows how much he loves her. Then we had a dinner appointment 20 minutes after with Luis and we were going to teach him a lesson. With stomachs even more full we ate KFC with him. I felt like I was going to explode! It was ridiculous. When we got home I started just chilling in the kitchen. I heard Hermana Hanson yell my name from the bathroom. I knew exactly what it was and I grabbed a jar. It was another roach even bigger than Herv! I caught him and Hermana Hanson named him Heffer because he is giant! We put Herv and Heffer in the same jar. Now we are waiting out how long they can survive. Herv is doing great, Heffer not so much. He was bigger than the opening to the jar so I kind of squished him a bit when I caught him. I will let you guys know what happens. (Also, we got the exterminator to come so I can sleep not in fear of roachs😂🤢) On a similar note, the mosquitos here are like ninjas. You can't hear them or see them and then all of a sudden your legs are covered in Mosquito bites. I look like I have chicken pocks on my legs😂. We are going to carry around bug spray for from now on. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We found out Saturday afternoon that the Ramirez familiy has covid which means I had to translate in church. I guess I shouldn't complain becuase I had a month break. It wasn{t that bad doing it. The hardest part was in the second talk the guy started talking about the Gettysburg address, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington. I don{t know those words in Spanish. I feel like I probably repeated a lot of things and stopped mid sentence. The important thing is that I tried. After sacrament meeting a lady came up and started talking to me, it was Marla. She was a member who hadn't been to church in a while. She wants to talk with us (her husband isn't a member) and she wants to buy us lunch. She is just adorable. We were asked to be a sub and teach primary. We got it worked out and had someone else with us. The kids were super cute and it was so much fun. Kids are so much fun to teach and they have so many stories to tell you. They are just so strong. Later we went and took Brownies to Bella. She hurt her foot and couldn't come to church. It was super sad. We also went and took Brownies to this guy that we have never taught. His family is so cute. They speak some english and we are excited go teach them. I am trying to cook new things so I made Beef Stroganoff. I wanted it now that I had already made breakfast.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">I have just started reading Ether and I love the beginning chapters. They are all about prayers, receiving answers and revelation. Pretty much what happens in ch 2 is the Brother of Jared has a problem. He needs something to light the barges. He prays and the Lord tells him two things that he cannot do. He can't have fire or windows to light them. What I really like happens next in verse 23 and 25, they say, "...What will ye that I should do...? & Therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you?" Sometimes we have to figure out an answer for ourselves and then bring it to the Lord. The brother of Jared thought to get 16 stones and ask the Lord to touch them. He did and they were used to light the barges. For me, I find it really easy to just want all the answers just given to me. Over time I have realized that I need to put some work in to receive them. I just wanted to invite you all to put in that work. Have the faith and the confidence to do what the brother of Jared did. I promise you all that you will receive the help and guidance you need.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Love you all!

We went to this member's property about 45 minutes away as a zone. He owns a couple acres so we went to go play by the river that goes through it. There was this ledge people were sitting on so I walked on this slippery part. Well, I slipped and my foot went into the water. It was only 5-7 inches deep, so it wasn't that bad. I scratched my left arm and jolted it (Satan still be trying to get me. Something funny is I am still too much of a chicken to drive with the seatbelt over my left shoulder. So I put it under my arm. Not the safest thing, but it stresses me out less.). After we went to our dinner appointment with Bishop Andersen. They did not realize it was one, and there was no food. They gave us their left over street tacos which were still yummy. Then we got to hear their whole life story. It was cool and just another thing that showed me Heavenly Father is very present in our lives. We played "Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza." Super fun game, kind of like slap jack. We lost to their 9 year old son. We shared a short message and they bore their testimonies to us. Life is hard, but we can get through it with the gospel.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">We had a sistrict DCM again because the elders were at someone else's DCM. It was fun. Two weeks ago I gave the discussion which is pretty much a lesson. It was on the Atonement. I just want to invite you all to study the Atonement and what Jesus Christ had to go through. It will help you with what you are going through and strengthen your relationship with Christ. Later that day we went out and danced in the rain. We partially got soaked even in our rain coats. Then we got to teach EC like usual. This class we do every Tuesday is becoming a really good way to find people. They learn English, we learn Spanish, and we teach the gospel. Teaching English is really fun. We laugh a lot and learn so much.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">We got invited to go over to Brother Bright's house on Wednesday for a banana sunday. We will never say no to ice cream. It was really fun. The best part was they have a parrot named Winkie. Hermana Hanson was moving her finger in front of her. She followed her finger and kept trying to bite it. We got to hold her and I was afraid she would bite my ear. To finish it off she showed us her dance moves. Then we went to visit a part member family that we are teaching. They are super sweet. Their son loves food and is very loud. Their daughter is shy and quiet. There is never a dull time in that house. We played a game called the "Priorities game." It is pretty much multiple cards with things of importance in the world and God. (Car, food, scriptures, job, church... &God) You choose the least important thing out of four until the last card you put in is God. Then you choose which is the most important thing, God. It started up a good discussion. They want to have us over again for Puerto Rican food. I will not object to that.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">On Thursday we did some more exchanges! Whoop whoop. I went 3 hours south to North Augusta. I almost made it to Georgia. I was with a sister named Hermana Hill. She is short and tiny, so I pretty much felt like a giant next to her. We had a blast and I learned a lot. I learned that it is really important to use the Bible when we are teaching the restoration of the gospel. It brings the Spirit and more understanding. She is so much fun and we get along great. We might be companions one day and I would love that. We went to dinner with all these single old ladies. She told me their last dinner was tomato pie and I started to worry. The meal ended up being yummy rice, asparagus, chicken and for dessert a brownie with ice cream. The mom showed us this butterfly that her daughter gave her and asked us what the name was. It was "Common Mormon!" I was not expecting that. Afterwards we went and played volleyball, so I just watched like I always do. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">We exchanged back on Friday. We went to Hna. Zapatas for dinner. I finally got her recipe for some delicious beans. I am pumped to make them! The recipe is in Spanish, so I hope I will make it right. Later, Elder Dearden, Collins, and DeLisa surprised us with some crumble cookies that Elder Dearden's mom sent him. They were delicious and so nice of them to do. We gave them a giant cereal box full of little boxes of cereal. They do not like frosted mini wheats, so I gotta keep them.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Saturday was pretty chill. We did soccer night but the problem was that it was pouring rain. Only one person showed up. So we played in our tiny gym. We pretty much practiced tricks. We had dinner scheduled with Luis but he was still at work. So he texted us and invited us over to have/make chocolate. So we drove over at around 9pm. I thought that we were going to make chocolate, it actually was hot chocolate. We ate it with pan dulce which is really good Mexican sweet bread. It was a delicious healthy late dinner. Luis still wants to get baptized, but he just needs to come to church! </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">We got three people to come to church!! We have been trying so hard. Esteban made it (that was a little miracle), Alvaro and David came for the first time. David said he liked it and felt at peace. I posted something on FaceBook on Saturday and he said it helped him. It was a confirmation for him that God has a plan for him. That was really cool to me because I was planning on posting it sooner. My draft was deleted though, so I posted it a couple days later. Hermana Hanson and I had to teach Escuela Dominical because the Ramirez family has covid. It went really well even though we did not plan much. The spirit was strong. It was the best class I have been to yet. ;) We went to Esteban's house after for a lesson and Hna. Rosas came with us. We ended up being there for two hours... Esteban was confused about the baptismal interview. So we went over that again with him and his roommate. He said he was stuck on the last question, which is pretty much are you ready to make a covenant with God and be faithful. Then we went and taught Norma. She is a cutie. We did a BOM read with her. She had read until 1 Nephi 8!!</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Monday was crazy. We went to lunch with David at 11am at a place called El Molcajete. It had pretty good food and chips and salsa. We asked him if he had read the Plan of Salvation pamphlet and he had read all of it!! This is my first area I am in that the people we are teaching actually keep their commitments. David told us that he wants to be baptized!! We are going to have to figure that out considering he might be on parole. Even with that it is still an exciting thing! Then we raced over to Dina's house to have another lunch. We were doing a pass off lesson to Elder Skousen and Kiel! It was funny her son Percy gave me a side hug and an air kiss/kiss on my cheek. That totally caught me and Elder Kiel off guard. Peruvian customs... The food was delicious needless to say. We had potatoes with cheese and olives, chicken, salad, and fruit. It was pretty much a three course meal. I felt like I was going to explode. They want to study the BOM and the elders are going to teach them. We are still going to see Dina every so often in our EC so that makes me happy. To finish off the day we did a Zone FHE. We shared miracles that have happened in the past 6 weeks and our testimonies. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">*Update on the cockroaches. They are both dead now. Heffer died about 4-5 days ago. I didn't think to take him out, so Herv went the route of cannibalism. Herv died a couple days later. So they lived about a week to a week and a half in a jar. Since then I have killed two more cockroaches (squished one and bleached the other) and caught a cicada bug. I am not particularly enjoying perfecting my bug killing skills. </span></div></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Yesterday was pretty crazy. We took a quick nap during lunch and then went over to eat with the STLs. They made quesadillas, and taquitos. As we were about to leave we got a call from President Monson. We went oh crap because he only calls to tell you are going to be in leadership. He told us that we are going to be trio training!!! That is crazy. Totally do not feel qualified to do that. I am curious to see if this trio will be anything like my other one, minus the broken bone. We are also going to be in another district. Then we raced to get our oil changed, and after to Estebans for a lesson. He is just so awesome. He changed so much over the past two days since the interview lesson. He is sure about baptism and doesn't have any problems with that last question. He wants to get baptized as soon as possible! He has one more surgery which will hopefully happen next Monday. We taught him about temples and he told us remembers going to a temple back in Mexico. He said he felt so clean and happy. He is going to prepare to go to the temple and is super excited!! Something crazy happened after, we got a tornado warning.The sirens were blaring through the city we were driving through. The tornado didn't actually happen, but it rained a ton. Even more than the other day. We had a little river going down our apartment parking lot. While we were driving we all had to turn on our hazards so we could see the car in front of us. It was wack!</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Also, here are some funny things that have happened, but I forgot to write about them.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">-I have finally heard Spanish and Southern combined into: ¿Qué tal y'all?

Como han estado? Mi fin de semana fue muy loca y muchas cosas pasaron! Hermana Hanson and I know have a trainee. She is absolutely adorable. Her name is Hermana Maxfield. She is from Holiday, Utah which is pretty close to Salt Lake. She is super funny and has that greenie fire🔥. It is the best because she has so much energy!</span></span></p><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Something I have been forgetting to add into my emails is one of my nicknames for Hermana Hanson. She loves to keep the apartment freezing. A couple weeks ago I found this word and it fit. It is “oso polar.” She is a polar bear but in spanish! It is August and I am wearing a fuzzy hoodie and my blanket around the apartment. Hermana Maxfield has a blanket that looks like a sleeping bag so she fits right in.</span></span></p><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">So on Wednesday it was P-day, transfers make it weird. We went to Top Golf! It has been ages since I have been there (back to the good old days of training in Georgetown). It was super hot. Even being in the shade with fans we felt like we were melting. Golf is not my forte, but I got better at it with some tips. Maybe if I get enough practice I can be the next Tiger Woods of Top Golf. I also totally left my water bottle there and it has shown me how much I need water. After we finished, Hermana Hanson and I went to visit Rosita. She is so cute! She has soooo many cats. Apparently her cats got pregnant so now she has 15 kittens. She is trying to get rid of them. I found an orange one among them and claimed him. It is funny because she calls him my cat and says she is going to save him for me. We taught her the first part of the restoration and introduced the BOM. Hna. Rosas was there and helped explain it. We were about to leave when she said that it was time to eat. We ate beans, chicken, and jalapeños. I was starved so I ate it all. Then we proceeded to drive 40 minutes home and deep clean the apartment.</span></span></p><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Thursday was transfers!! We drove down to Columbia and went to a training meeting. I got to see all my friends that I haven’t seen for a long time. I saw Hna. Stewart, my good old MTC comp! I love that girl. I saw Hna. Kurns and Elder DeMille from my days in Charleston. Then we got our trainee! It was funny because she was the last sister sitting down, so we knew we were going to train her. She was originally assigned to go to Uruguay, but she got reassigned here. We went to 5 Guys for lunch and it was delicious. Two hours later we went to the Mejias for dinner. The fed us potato salad, chicken, and rice. They said that they were going to feed us Mexican food next time. Hno. Mejia likes to mess with me, so he call me gordita. That means little fatty😂… ouch. He told me that he was kidding and that I am skinny. I’m glad I do not have to eat all that southern food or that would not be true. We taught english class right after and it went great. Sadly, not a lot of people came. We were able to taught to a guy named Alex after because he was curious about what we do as missionaries. He said he is going to read the pamphlet.</span></span></p><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Well Friday morning I woke up to a big bite on my left arm. Why can’t the bugs leave me alone, they never go after Hna. Hanson.😂 It wasn’t a mosquito or bed bugs… it was a spider! I had two scabs close to each other. The bite started small and then it swelled up a lot. The bite area got super hot and had a dull itch. We did not ever find the spider, but I just know it.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Later, we went to go see Rosita again to finish teaching her the restoration. She told us that after we left (on Wednesday) she couldn't stop thinking about what we said. She couldn't fall asleep until 1am. She said she searched the internet for answers. We kind of started to have a little freak out moment. Because you know there is a lot of anti online. She said she found this video and watched the whole thing. As she explained it we realized she found the restoration video in Spanish. She said that she believed Joseph Smith is a prophet and that our church is the true church! She wants to come to church every week! 😁😆</span></span></p><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">We played futbol again on Saturday. This time I joined in and played. It was four against four. I was really careful because I do not want a repeat of what happened before. I told one of the guys that I got bit by a spider and he started calling me Spiderman. I am going to turn into Spiderman and I can’t wait.</span></span></p><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">On Sunday we were hoping that a lot of people would come but didn't think it would actually happen. Esteban and Rosita said they couldn't come, but they did! Bella also came too and she asked us when we are going to come over next. I translated Sacrament meeting and it wasn't great… One of the talks was so hard to follow. I also then translated Elders Quorum for Esteban. After church was over we went to Esteban’s for a lesson. We taught him, one of his roommates Jose, and Rosita. We taught them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Sacrament. Rosita then tells us at the end that she wants to be baptized! Mini miracle! We are going to set a date for her next time we meet!!</span></span></p><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">My spiritual thought for this week is about the Book of Mormon. I just finished it again the other day and it was amazing. I absolutely love Moroni's promise. Part of it says, "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things" (Moroni 10: 4-5, I just didn't include 3) As I read this I just felt the truthfulness of this. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I know that when we read it we can feel closer to God and Jesus Christ. It testifies of Christ and the things that we need to do to return to our Heavenly Father. I just want to invite you all to read the Book of Mormon and do what Moroni asks. You will receive your answer and it will change your life.</span></span></p><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Les quiero!

We went to a lot of work to get the elder’s fishing poles and we went fishing for about 30 minutes. I caught a very large stick and pretended it was a fish. Then we raced to a member meal and ate some yummy taco soup. We don’t get American food all that often, so it is fun when we do.</span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tuesday we had Zone Conference. It was awesome! It was fun to see all my friends! We learned more about Joseph Smith and the things he did. Most of the time we think of him having a 3rd grade education which he did, but you can learn things out of school. He was very knowledgeable about law and politics. God really does prepare prophets. We learned about “How to begin teaching” points in Preach My Gospel. They are really important because they state what we do as missionaries and the things that people will receive from what we teach. Probably my favorite part was when President Monson taught us all about the Doctrine of Christ. It isn’t just a one and done type of thing. It is repetitive and iterative. We repeat and cycle through it, but we are learning/growing and changing as a person. It is like a mountain that has a descending road that goes all the way around it and up. The top is when we meet God again. It is a gradual descent and there never is a flat part. We become converted as we make our way up and follow the doctrine of Christ. As easily as we become converted we can become unconverted. Like a car going up a hill needs acceleration but when you put it in neutral it rolls back down. We NEED to be doing the little things. We NEED to read the scriptures, pray, and take the sacrament etc. Those are the things that keep us converted and strong. </span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We ate Chick-fil-a for lunch. I have honestly eaten the most chick-fil-a on my mission than I have in my entire life. Everyone loves it out here so I sometimes get out voted. After Zone Conference we went to the Tropical Smoothie Cafe with our new district. It was delicious. I have missed their giant smoothies. Then we had EC like always. The people are so sweet. </span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We were so busy on Wednesday. We went and had a lesson with a guy named Brian. He is so nice. He referred himself to us. He told us that he met with the missionaries back in El Salvador and went to church a couple times. He wants to take the lessons again and have his brother do it too. We are now teaching them both. After we went to Bro. Brights house. He is going to be helping us out with a part member family. He made us a little snack bar and gave us ice cream again. I will never tire of this happening. He was wearing a shirt that cracked me up. It says, “If you don’t love Tacos, I’m Nacho type.” I want to get a shirt like that. Then we went and had a lesson with Bella. It went really good. We were able to meet her daughter for the first time in almost two months. She told us we could come over on Thursday because Hna. Ramirez was going to come visit her. She set up our next appointment for us!</span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On Thursday, we went and had a lesson with David. He told us that he wants to be baptized. He said that the other day he went looking for a sports coat to wear to church and there weren’t any in his size. So he decided he is going to get a suit that he can wear. We taught him the first half of the plan of salvation. Before the lesson he always shows us how he is relating the BOM to his life. Later, we went to the Mejias for dinner. They fed us sopes again! This time it was potatoes and then bean ones. I felt like I needed to be rolled out of their house after. We went over to Bella’s house again. Hna. Ramirez wasn’t able to make it, but we still taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She now has a baptismal date for Sept. 25th. She is super excited!! Then we went EC, and after we had a lesson with Alex. He wants us to teach him some slang. So we taught him "oh snap" and "yeet." It was funny because he sounded like a 14 yr old girl.😂 We taught him about the resto and invited him to church. </span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hermana Maxfield is a doll. She made us breakfast on Friday. I had never had avocado and egg toast before. It is pretty good and healthier than instant oatmeal. We finally were able to have a lesson with Esteban again. We saw a fawn walking around but it ran away. While we were setting up tables he (or she?) came back. It was trying to get into the wrapper that had a cookie we bought Esteban. He said it was his Bambi. I got to pet it with one finger. It was kind of loosing it’s hair. Esteban said it does not have a mom because he ate it. It went over where he was sitting and he totally hugged the deer. We are about done with the lesson when a goat comes by and starts walking through the lesson. It was an interesting lesson and one for the books.</span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our climax of Friday was that we finally got to go to Shabbat. We are “teaching” some Messianic Jews and they invited us to come. We ended up getting there pretty late and I was starving. They fed us this yummy rice/potatoes with a chicken leg, arroz con leche, and carne asado tacos with napoles (cactus). It was so delicious and I want the recipes. Then the nephew proceeded to go off about lots of things. Theology relates to Zeus, how pastors recieve religious trainging in it, the sabbath day, interpreting the scriptures wrong and more. He didn’t pause for like 45 minutes. We were trying to leave so we could get how, and he started looking for a scripture. I asked if there were any scriptures that we could read because we had to get going. They told us some and we got out. A lot of the things they said are true and important, but I just didn’t see joy. The gospel brings me joy even though I may not understand ever scripture or what the Hebrew meaning is. The gospel is simple and perfect.</span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Phelippe (back from Charleston) has been texting Hermana Hanson and me. He wants to come up and visit us. Crazy thing is that he is now the branch pres!! We planned for lunch, then it got pushed back for dinner, and he told us that Roger couldn’t make it. We rescheduled for next week, but we all still wanted Texas Roadhouse for dinner. So we went and did contacting and messaging while we waited. My steak and potatoes were fantastic. I’m just glad I had enough money to pay for it (it was a kids meal...😂). We then went to futbol night. I sometimes question my sanity because I played it, and played it after eating a lot. It was so humid and I sweating like a cow because apparently pigs do not sweat. I have a love hate relationship with humidity.</span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I woke up yesterday and the back of my throat was super swollen. I had a hard time breathing through my mouth and swallowing. We called the mission nurse and she said I might have strep! She told me to go to the doctor. First doctor wouldn’t let me in, and the second doctor’s office didn’t have strep tests… so we went to church. Hermana Maxfield spoke and Hermana Hanson translated one of the talks into english. I kind of just tried to hide in a corner and not talk to people. That frustrated me because there were so many people I needed to talk to. Esteban paid his tithing. It was super cute. He hasn’t been baptized yet and doesn’t have a job, but he wanted to pay it. Alex, Bella, Jose and a guy named Daniel came to church too! We left after sacrament meeting to go to a doctor’s office that actually had what I was told to do. We get there and I wait for an hour and then get the test done. 20 minutes later they told me I don’t have strep!🤦♀️I have something viral so I need to use anesthetic spray and cough drops, and just wait it out. I mean I am happy I don’t have strep, but a lot of time was wasted trying to figure that out. We had canceled everything for the day because we were told to so we went home and ate a late lunch/early dinner. We decided instead of wasting the whole day that we would visit some people. We went and had a lesson with David. The spirit was super strong. We finished teaching him about the Plan of Salvation. I don't usually tell people about what happened to my older brother Ryan, but I felt I needed to. I told him about how he passed away and how hard it was. I bore my testimony on eternal families and I got super emotional. Sometimes we take for granted the knowledge we have and we don't realize how blessed we are to know about it. </span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In one of my personal studies this week I found a great talk.

The day did not go as planned. The water was very choppy with 6-10 foot swells. For this reason everyone got sea sick, except for Ethan. Mike and Adam were able to fish, but poor Alex was so sick he couldn't even fish. We joke that he paid $150 to throw up off a boat. Let's just say the fishing trip was memorable and they can now laugh about the experience. Us girls stayed back on land and enjoyed a day of relaxing while they were gone. After hearing about their adventures, we are glad we didn't go.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO5vjIJaEsF4sMNlO6Gd7ePWfNxkn_1TpjE0ZHQ8x7QBVn5MVi4wYaWNFuHftG7hm7CzJ3PHr5oAVm08NhbVJWNgbJVshFsDQkd7zIl6UQKzJC6aO7gKTktueeVfZDJuYU4cw3BMQNmx6k/s4032/IMG_1482.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO5vjIJaEsF4sMNlO6Gd7ePWfNxkn_1TpjE0ZHQ8x7QBVn5MVi4wYaWNFuHftG7hm7CzJ3PHr5oAVm08NhbVJWNgbJVshFsDQkd7zIl6UQKzJC6aO7gKTktueeVfZDJuYU4cw3BMQNmx6k/w480-h640/IMG_1482.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">Adam accidentally caught a sea turtle.

It was a super cold day! We had a cold front move in so the weather is rainy, windy, and cold 🥶. We did something I had never done before... we cleaned the girls bathroom by the gift shop. We weren't even on the boat😂. It was still fun though. Attitude is everything! If we don't have a good attitude we don't have anything. Later, we went over to Hermana Mendez's house. She taught us how to cook an easy Mexican meal. We made pollo, arroz, and green spaghetti (Hermana Bowen did most of the work. Hermana Kurns and I peeled peppers and took out the seeds.) I figured out I need to study cooking/baking vocabulary😅. But the food still tasted really good! I got to play with her son Diego's gerbil/hamster. It was super cute and tiny. It bit me through the glove😂. It is still adorable and I want to hold it again.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My 4th Zone Conference was on Thursday!

I challenge you all to study charity and act on what you find. I have seen in my life that as I study charity and try to change myself, my days are better and I am happier. President Monson talked about the tutoring of Joseph Smith. He saw around 60 angels from the first vision to his death in 1844. He may not have known a lot or had a lot of education of worldly things, but Heavenly Father made sure he was educated spiritually. </span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">When la noche de fútbol comes around all I can do is watch. So I essentially have a little break watching fútbol. So, I actually taught voice lessons. For the first 30 minutes I taught Saima how to sing hymns (She is this cute old lady who just went through the temple on Saturday). I was able to play the top hand and attempt to explain how to hear your note, note counts, and some other stuff. We sang Venid a Mi around 10 times! She wants to do it again next week.

We had a lesson with Mirko and Jean set up and they said that they were going to feed us. We got there and there was no food out so we thought it was going to be a super short lesson… nope. They had a ton of questions and we had to explain the Law of Moses and why we don’t do it anymore. Jean is on date and he said that if we still worshiped on Saturday that he would be baptized this week. So we are super confused, but he still wants to learn more and keep coming. He came to church on Sunday so all is not lost. We just need to explain some things a little more. He is super awesome and so is Mirko! Right as we were about to leave they were like oh we have food... SIT! So, we ate dinner before going to a party. We ended up be an hour late to the fiesta😅 But right when we got there they started to eat. We had these big taco things. We shared one of them with the three of us because it was sooo huge. Then we had dessert...needless to say I went to bed full.</span></span></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">We went over to Joanne y Eduardo’s house for a lesson with Vondel. We ate arepas with ham and eggs. We also had Platanos Fritos as a snack. I prefer Patacones because they aren't sweet. The food was delicious and the lesson was fun. Vondel is still deciding about baptism. He wants to visit another church to see the difference. He wants to be baptized before Hermana Bowen leaves so hopefully within the next two weeks!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Love you all!

We found some named Robert at Popeyes 3-3 1/2 weeks ago. We started teaching him and then passed him off to the English elders. We had a church tour all together and he promised to come to church if we went to his. He was 30 minutes late but still went, so we had to keep our promise. We drove over to his church and got lost for 10 minutes😂. Google Maps isn't always the smartest. It kept trying to take us through a padlocked school parking lot. Luckily we got there on time. They started 20 minutes late starting so we only got to see 10 minutes of the action. They started to sing and it was pretty (5 singers and a full band). Then one of the ladies started yelling, in the microphone, "Jesus we love you." My ears felt like they were going to fall off. The song had a great message but it was too loud.</span></span></p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">During DCM we talked about personal revelation and all the things that we have to do to receive it. A cool thing to see as a missionary is the growth of the people we are teaching. We are able to see as they come to understand and receive personal revelation. On the off note, we have these baptismal cards as a mission and Elder Skousen said, "Hand them out like candy."😂 We are going to start handing more of them out. After we had DCM lunch and we made pancakes🥞! It was super fun! I cut the bananas and Elder Frewing peeled them for me. We invited the other district which only has 4 elders to join us so we became a Mega district. The pancakes were delicious and it was fun to converse with everyone!</span></span></p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">I had another doctors appointment.

I am not in pain really anymore, maybe I just got used to it 🤷♀️. The doctors pressed on the break and it didn't hurt much, but it started to feel sore AFTER I left. I am going back in two weeks.

Sister Bertolio came again! But this time I didn't have to teach the lessons alone😂, Hermana Kurns and I taught them. Get some practice for when we might be companions alone. President told us we will probably be staying together in our interviews. Hermana Kurns and I had a really good lesson with a guy named Jorge. He is super nice and had been taught a little before.

It isn't brown, needing to be watered or planted. It is ready, and there are people ready." Sometimes we find people that aren't ready and we plant a seed, then we move on. Which isn't easy because we like them and want them to have the happiness we have. But they might be ready when someone else comes along. It can become easy to be down on yourself when that happens all the time.

It is a flea market 5 minutes away from our apartment. We went and handed out English class fliers. I had never been there before but it is awesome! We ran into two people who were taught by the missionaries before and got their numbers. It was soooo hot outside. I don’t know how I am going to survive the summer with the humidity. We bought some ice cream and it was delicious because it was hot and I was starving.</span></span></p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Sunday was awesome.

Last time it was hard squishing them with two hands😂, but I did it. Apparently my right arm is super buff right now, jk. We talked about Roger opening up a Venezuelan restaurant or truck and we will name it “Patacones de las Princesas.” We will run it and keep the money but Roger will teach us how to make the food.</span></span></p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">General Conference is April 3-4th!

Another week up and gone! ¿Cómo está? ¡Tenemos traslados mañana! Hermana Bowen va a regresar a su casa!😳 Pues eso es loco! She is sad to leave, but excited to see her family. She keeps rubbing in our face that she can hold a baby after Friday. We just have to look😔.

We went to the museum of Charleston. We walked around and looked at things and took pictures. While doing this we ran into two women who has missionaries out. They are from Dallas, Texas and they know people Elder Tatro knows. What a small world! Then we got five guys and ate it at a park. We lured in a squirrel with fries. Hermana Kurns said that she felt like a Disney princess and it reminded of the movie Enchanted.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;">We had a lesson with Marisela and her daughter Aldry. They fed us homemade taquitos, and of course they were delicious. Then we finished teaching them the restoration. They gave us all their attention and were wowed when we talked about the first vision. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;">So we thought that Vondel fell off the face of the earth but he finally texted us back. He had been sick😔. We were super excited to call him even though we were tired. We read Alma 36:12-21. We had him read it and explain what was happening. At the end we asked him if he wanted forgiveness and that joy, and he said yes. It was a really touching lesson. He has gone through a lot of hard things this year but he doesn't want to give up. He told us that he is about to finish 1 Nephi!!😄 We have been praying that he will read more of the Book of Mormon.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Surprise! We went to Yorktown again. It was cool because the drive was really foggy and you couldn't see the boat from the parking lot. Hermana Kurns, Bowen, and I swept tour #1 which I have never done before. It was super cool because we got to see the part where the engine room was. If the boat was actually moving (needing the engines), the room would be 3rd degree burns just waiting to happen.😂 I could get a matching burn on my right arm!</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;">So we planned on playing a little gospel game we made up after English class. I even made a banana cake for dessert. No one stayed after😭. We weren't just not going to eat the cake, so the Elders, Phelippe, Roger, and us at the cake. It was really good! </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;">General Conference was amazing. Six months ago I watched it in the MTC with my family and now it's over again! For the first session we went to the Hroneks. We had this yummy Peruvian dish for lunch. I liked a lot of the talks! (I am going to talk more about it in my next email). After we went over to the Hernandez family and did service for them. We were filling a trailer with scrap metal. I couldn't do much so I picked up trash and played with their puppy. We watched the 2nd session with them. (What I liked). Later that night we finally had a lesson with Vondel. He fell off the face of the earth for a week and we were worried. He watched the men's session with the Elders and Phelippe. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Sunday morning we watched it at church... en Español! Fue un poco difícil para entender todo pero entendí muy bien. For the second session we went over to Hermana Tapia's house. She invited us over for a late lunch. We had this seafood pasta. It was really good. We watched it in Spanish again. Let me tell you, Spanish is really hard to understand when you are tired. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Because it is transfer week Monday was just a normal day dreaded by the missionaries. It turned out to be a great day for us. We did a dinner with all the sisters in our zone...which isn't a lot. We had Crumble Cookies for dessert and I shouldn't have eaten as much as I did. I may have eaten just the cookies. After we raced over to a lesson. A member referred his sister who is less active. We got there and apparently he didn't tell them we were coming. We talked about the gospel blessing families and raising children in the gospel. Her little girl Lixi is 9 years old and loves coming to church! </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #351c75;">We got transfer news!

We had a water balloon fight as a district. It took forever to fill up the balloons, but it was so fun. I stood on the side line and videoed. Everytime I threw a balloon it just bounced off the person, so I had to go up to them and pop it over them with my hand. Being on the side line had a perk, I was able to get some pretty funny videos. After Phelippe took us out to dinner for Hermana Bowen's last dinner. We went to a Brazilian Steak house. The pineapple is my favorite part. Then after we went to Marisa Mendez's house so she could say goodbye. We took some photos.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">Transfers was fun and crazy. I had to explain my brokenness a couple of times. I saw Sister Donahoo again! She was going back to Nauvoo for her other part of her historical service mission. When we got to the apartment after it was weird. We did a little Spring Cleaning. It is nice to have our fridge cleaned out of all the weird sauces and things Hermana Bowen ate. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">At fútbol night, I talked to this lady for about a hour. She is super nice and wants to do a Bible study. We set one up and she told us that she has 25 inside cats! We are still going over anyway. Hermana Kurns and I went and knocked a door looking for Gerson's aunt. We talked to her and set up a lesson without Hermana Bowen!! We were sooo proud of ourselves. Usually Hermana Bowen would take over, but now we only have us. God is good!!</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">I bore my testimony in church. It was absolutely terrifying. I had a feeling the whole time that I needed to get up. I finally stood up at the end and walked up to wait. Then Hermana Kurns came and sat by me. I remember when it was fast Sunday af home and two sister sister missionaries both bore their testimonies first. We were like them but we did it at the end. Freddi and Linda came to church. He speaks Spanish and she speaks English and they are together. Linda is ready to be baptized, so we started to teach Freddi. He wants to be baptized! He said after we went to a little girl's baptism that that would be him in the future.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">We had a zone pday on Monday and needless to say it was awesome. We went to some property that Elder & Sister Peterson the military missionaries own. We had a little water balloon fight and then played volleyball. I stayed on the other side of the little pond a fished. I caught a fish!! I haven't since I was 5, so this was awesome! It's pretty funny because while I was fishing I said in my head, "You know what Heavenly Father it would just make my day if I catch a fish." Then I caught one a little later! And then I thanked Heavenly Father! :) It wasn't as big as the one that Elder Farr caught but it's still a fish. 🐟l</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">Hermana Bowen or now known as Melia and I were trying fo meet with this member for 2-3 months. Hermana Kurns and I finally got to visit with Veronica. We went to Yorktown in the morning and swept a tour (this time we brought a big broom so it didn't take forever). She fed us Chilaquiles for lunch. It was delicious!! We had this meat, beans, chopped up avocado/tomatoes, Horchata, and Chilaquiles (which is tortilla crisp things with this sauce and cheese over it.) We talked while we ate and she bore her testimony to us. She hasn't been very active but she wants her kids to grow up singing hymns. She misses church and she said she is going to come back!</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">Before we went into Veronica's house, I felt that we needed to call Julieth, someone we were going to visit that day. We called and she didn't answer so we called one more time. She answed and told us that she was going to be home later. We switched one of our lessons so we could go later and visit. We ended up getting to her house at 9:30pm. Julieth was still at work so we talked to her daughter Natalia. (We met Julieth at la noche de fútbol) We are going to start teaching her with her mom. She wants to come to church and see what we do. They didn't end up coming but she said after we visited her for the second time that we are welcome in her house whenever. This one cat came and sat on my lap and then he started taking a bath😂. According to Julieth, that cat hates everyone but he likes me. I then said that the cat is very intelligent! Fue un chiste. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">We went and visited a member named Yolanda again.

They are such a great family. They were the ones we did service for before Conference. I have never seen the whole family at church before. After Conference they said they wanted to start coming back and we still didn't see them. We called them yesterday and they said they were getting ready! And... they ALL came to church, even the mom. It was awesome and a big miracle. I have been waiting for this for sooo long. God truly does answer prayers!!</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">I absolutely loved Conference! It was amazing! It was cool that I was able to get a lot out of it listening to it in Spanish. I really loved the talk by Timothy J Dyches called "Light Cleaveth Unto Light." I love the quote, "You are never alone. He hears and answers every prayer. He has 'called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.' When you ask, 'Father, Father, are You there?' He will always reply, 'I’m here, child of mine; I’m right here.'" No matter how dark our lives may seem, Heavenly Father is always right there beside us. We just can't see him, but the way that we can reach Him is through pray. I also loved how it talked about following promptings from the Holy Ghost. We might be standing at the edge of a hypothetical cliff and be protected, but we NEED to follow the promptings we recieve. Hermana Kurns is helping me not second guess the promptings I recieve, and we have seen many blessings happen. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">Something hilarious that happened is Hermana Kurns said, "Que cute!"

Hermana Kurns I had to take our car to get the oil changed. We became EMTs for about 20 minutes. One of the elders got really bad blisters from playing basketball. (See a pattern there?) There was no first aid in the church so we went back to the apartment and brought stuff. The blisters are about a little smaller than a 50 cent piece. Then we went out to dinner with the sisters in my zone at Texas Roadhouse. It was NOT cheap. I just won't be eating for the next week.😂 I may regret it this coming week.</span></p><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For DCM, Hermana Kurns and I gave the discussion on Christlike attributes. It went really well and lots of good ideas were shared. We discussed a talk called "What Manner of Men and Women Ought Ye To Be." It is such a good talk.

I loved the whole talk. Elder Lynn G. Robbins said, “To be and to do are inseparable. As interdependent doctrines they reinforce and promote each other. Faith inspires one to pray, for example, and prayer in turn strengthens one’s faith.” We must do and be. There cannot be one without the other. He explained, “Many of us create to do lists to remind us of things we want to accomplish. But people rarely have to be lists. Why? To do’s are activities or events that can be checked off the list when done. To be, however, is never done. You can’t earn checkmarks with to be’s.” This really stood out to me. It is very easy to mark Christlike attributes off of a list after we have worked on them for a little while. But, the thing is that should be a part of the rest of our life. Along with all the things that we say we will DO and BE as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Think of some things that you could do to make you more Christlike and be that way.</span></span><p></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">I had another doctors appointment Wednesday morning and the x-ray pretty much looks identical to the last one I had. I spent around 3 hours there for the appointment and filling out paperwork. So I could send the x-rays and information to some people so they could look at it. That kind of threw off our day, but we were able to get everything on track. We were asked if we could help someone move out in June. Turns out it was our neighbor and she moved out sooner than planned. There wasn’t much to do so we just mopped her floor, but she was grateful. She had written a book and gave it to Hermana Bowen and I, so I figured we could do the same. We gave her a Book of Mormon with Hermana Kurns and I’s testimonies and some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I hope she reads it and receives answers to the questions in her life.</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">On Thursday, we had an hour mission wide zoom call. President and Sister Monson clarified a lot of questions and certain rules. Then after that Sister Robinson, Egbert, and Mabb came over to do companionship study with us. It was awesome. We did an activity with Christlike attributes. So it worked out great because Hermana Kurns and I studied them earlier for our discussion. We went through Preach My Gospel and did the Christlike attribute activity. I chose many of them to work on but the one that stood out was prayer. I am trying to make my prayers more meaningful and not just like I am checking it off a list. It will take time but I am excited to see the change that it will bring into my day. We had a lesson with Freddi and he told us that he wants his daughter to be a missionary like us. Hermana Kurns and I were like well we know how to set that into motion. We talked about baptism, and we are having him pray about a date.</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">I got to see another baptism on Saturday. It was a guy named Juan. The Spanish Elders taught and baptized him with the English Elders. He speaks mostly Spanish but speaks English all right, but he lives closer to the English ward (he also doesn’t have a car). We went out to lunch with Phelippe, Juan and his kids, and the elders to a Chinese Buffet. My favorite things were these little scone doughnuts covered in sugar. Not healthy, but delicious. We had a lesson with Cesar and it went really well. He had surgery on his hand and is recovering. He is so adorable and just loves talking with us about Jesus.</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">On Friday or Saturday, I found out officially that I need surgery and that I have to go home. I won’t be able to have the medication or the physical therapy that I need out here as a missionary. The surgery will be to put a plate over my bone and screw it in. Then I have to have my arm immobile for a month as the incision heals and my bone starts to heal. After that I have 6-8 weeks of physical therapy. President and Sister Monson, our mission nurse, and my doctor out here thinks it is best if I go home. They said that it would be easier to heal at home and then I can come back out stronger. Also, that it will be better to have the care from my family instead of Hermana Kurns becoming my nurse. I have started packing and I will most likely fly home this Saturday. Sister Monson said that my mission will be put on a pause and then I will have my 11 months still left to serve when I get back. The end is near for this chapter in my mission, but I still have a whole book left to go!</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Sunday was hard because I had to say goodbye to all the members in my branch. Now all these members want to have me over for dinner before I leave. I made some bracelets and gave them to the members that I know the most and that helped me out a lot here. I am going to miss them so much. It is weird because next week I will be in my own ward that speaks English. It is going to be a transition. I haven’t been to a meeting in English for 5 months. This week will be full of member meals and goodbyes. It is hard because all the people I am teaching I just have to leave. I was told to just think of this as a transfer, but I am just transferring home and then back out here. I am totally going to come back and visit this branch. When I come back out I probably will get sent to a different place in South Carolina.</span></span></p><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">We went to downtown Charleston today and it was super fun! We went to the Pineapple fountain and Hermana Kurns thought that it was awesome. We walked through the market and I was reminded of how broke I am right now. MSF only gives you so much, but the prices in Charleston are expensive. Walking down the streets and window shopping is so much fun.

I know these encounters were not a coincidence. Also while home, she was able to continue to teach with the full time missionaries serving in our area. Both families they taught were later baptized. One family knew Spanish, which came in handy for her because the elders did not. Again, this was in the Lord's plan for her coming home. She was released while she was home and set apart again the night before leaving again. We are so proud of her and her faith in the Lord, as He lead her on this little detour from her original "normal" mission.</div><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

We are reaching some people and they invited us to the presentation/blessing of the baby. We said that we would love to go. They told us the service started at 7pm. We got there and expected to only be there for 30-45 minutes... we were there for 2 hours. We walked in during a prayer and the guy was talking so loud into a microphone for 10-15 minutes. I thought my ears were going to fall off. Then the first hour was singing and they had a full on band. The music was so loud. Then they had their service. Their pastor talked about Ana, the mother of Samuel. How if we want to have good God fearing children, we need to be doing that as parents. Then he blessed the baby and hoisted her into the air (imagine lion king🦁).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Now to this week's stuff:</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Last P-day was super fun and it showed me how out of shape I am. We played four-on-four basketball for what felt like 5 hours but was probably only thirty minutes. My team won! I made three baskets 😎. Then we played dodgeball. I can't throw a ball hard and far at the same time, so I started kicking the balls. I don't know what the rules of dodgeball are but no one stopped me... Needless to say I hit Elder DeMille in the side of the face/neck. I felt soooooo bad😂. He is never going to let me live that down.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">English class is going great! We are still teaching lessons after and it makes it really nice because we get to teach 3-4 people a lesson at the same time. It is really hard teaching Latinos with their work schedules. They all get off of work later in the day, but we can only call so many people or go to their house in the span of 3 ½ hours. BUT… with Heavenly Father’s help it happens.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Surprise suprise! Hermana Bowen and I went to Yorktown again! It is honestly super fun and educational. This time we got to wipe down all these plaques. It was super easy and while we did it we got to read about people and the events that happened. There are a lot of things that happened in history that I don’t know about. It is kind of a win win doing this service because I get to serve and learn about history. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">I have now seen a full alligator!🐊 I didn't really believe the stories about the alligator that lives in our apartment complexes pond. But then Elder Davis & Lake showed us a video they took of the alligator that apparently exists (while we were at Yorktown). When the STLs came over for exchanges after, we went straight to the pond. And lo and behold, there was the alligator just chilling on the side. I officially have a pet alligator, I just need to name him (unless I already named him Bert😂).</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Then we went on exchanges. Sister Bertolio doesn’t know how to speak any Spanish so I was all on my own. That was not a comforting thing, but all is well. Hermana Bowen was in an English area so she got to speak english. We had three lessons and a member meal that we went to. The member meal was awesome. We had pollo y arroz. Diana and Eduardo are sooo nice. Elder DeMille and Skousen are teaching him. We had a lesson about temples and eternal families and the Spirit was super strong. Sister Bertolio said she knew what we were saying was true even though she couldn’t understand us. I then taught the plan of salvation twice, because one of the lessons canceled which was a little miracle. I was able to explain and answer Vondel’s questions with the extra time. It was really cool to just teach by myself. The gift of tongues is real! I haven’t seen it super vividly for a little while but I say it that day. I had all these things brought to my remembrance and I said lots of words that I didn’t even know I knew.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Vondel came to church!! And so did Jean, Eddy, David, Maria, and Vladimir! It was sooo awesome. A huge miracle because a lot of the people we have been teaching will say they will come to church and then they won’t come. Vondel and Jean said that they really liked it. I am glad that we started singing hymns again because it brings the Spirit. They both said they loved the hymns.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Hermana Bowen and I went over to Maria and Vladimir's house yesterday. It was super fun! They fed us arepas with cheese and butter, and this really good hot chocolate. They have been taught everything, but they haven’t been baptized yet. They are waiting for some divorce papers from Venezuela, so they can’t get married yet. They told us that they were meeting with someone today and that they would hopefully finish it! We talked about temples and eternal families with them. They can’t wait until they can go to the temple. We expected to have to drag in the idea of baptism again and then they said that they wanted to be baptized on March 13th. We didn’t even have to ask them when! </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Love you all!!

I would hope so because Hermana Bowen and I taught the discussion. We talked about setting goals and planning. It is super important in missionary work to have God involved in what we are doing. It is the same with just normal things in life too. It was cool to see how many people we were finding change drastically when we involved the Lord more. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Wednesday morning Hermana Bowen and I got a text from a guy named Miguel who we have been trying to set up at time to meet. He said that he had some time, so we called him. He ended up having lots of questions like: Why are there so many churches? Is there a living prophet today? And so many others! Hermana Bowen and I looked at each other and we were both thinking well we have the answers for you😎. It was super funny because we would ask him questions and then in his answer he pretty much explained what we were going to teach him. So pretty much he taught himself😂. The rest of the lesson went well and we are excited for our next one. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Later that night we had a member meal with the Castillo family. Hermana Castillo wasn't done when we got there, so Hermana Bowen and I got to watch. It was really cool to see all the ingredients come together. We ate rice, some potatoes, beef, and this lentil sauce. It was soooooo good!😋 I want the recipe. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Hermana Bowen and I started teaching a 10 year old, 13 year old, and their mom. Their mom speaks only Spanish and they speak English. They can understand Spanish pretty well and speak a little. We went over to their house for the first time on Thursday and again on Saturday. Isleda is 10 years old and she asked us if we could bring her a Bible. She said that she wanted to read it. So on Saturday we brought it over and finished teaching the plan of salvation. We ended up teaching the whole thing over again. We reviewed the first part and it was going really well... until Cookie (one of their dogs which I think is a chihuahua) comes over and steps on my little plan of salvation example. He would not go away😂. I do not like chihuahuas, especially when they interrupt a lesson. But I guess it ended up working out. Alex (13 yr. old) joined the lesson late but understood it. Him and Iselda started asking me lots of questions about tattoos, smoking, drinking, and how we recognize the Spirit. (Hermana Bowen was talking to their mom in Spanish) It was cool to see that hunger for answers and knowledge of the gospel in them. -> Fast forward to now. They have started reading the B.O.M, so we are happy. Their mom isn't really interested so we are waiting to see how that plays out.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Soo.... I am now broken😭. I broke my collarbone two p-days ago. I was playing 4 on 4 basketball with the elders. One of the elders was passing me the ball and another elder was trying to steal it before it got to me. (I made a couple of baskets!!😀😄) He accidentally slammed into me (his shoulder to mine) and this loud crack sounded. Everyone thought it was my tag... nope. I told everyone. My collarbone was broken and we needed to go to the doctors. They were all like how do you know it's broken, and I told them I know because it's happened twice before this. All the elders were standing around shocked and they didn't know what to do. I said, "Well all of you have the priesthood so can give me a blessing."(I was kind of sassy but I was in pain😅😂) I got a blessing from my zone leader and then we went to the doctors. I got an x-ray and it's broken. It's not a good break but it's not awful. I went and got another x-ray a couple days ago and it's worse. I don't know what happened! I haven't even fallen like with the ones before. So I will be in a sling for the next transfer plus. I have another doctors appointment in two weeks.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">We had Stake Conference last week and it was a very interesting experience. We had to translate it into SPANISH while it was happening! I didn't do it because I was a chicken. But it was good I didn't do it when I was going to because the Stake pres. said a lot of words I don't know. He was telling a story of how he watched a scary big foot movie and had to walk home in the dark. He heard a loud crack and a "MOOooo!" and he ran and fell into a ditch. It was a cow😂. The funny part is Hermana Bowen Mooed for the translation 🤣.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Vondel is going to be baptized soon! He is ready, but is just being indecisive about this Saturday. He is legit golden!🏅He was keeping the word of wisdom and the law of chastity before we even taught him it! He is so awesome! He asked how Hermana Bowen and I are and we told him... then he started calling us niñas!😂 I am not a little girl. He then started calling us chicas so that is a little better. Elder Skousen & DeMille had a baptism on Saturday! Edvino finally got baptized! It was really cool. It was my first full baptism that I have been to on my mission. Vondel came and he said that he really liked it. He said that when he gets baptized he only wants to once 😂(Edvino didn't go all the way under so they had to do it again). He also came to church and fasted. He fasted for his baptism and some other things. Please pray for him!🙏 </span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">I am now in a trio 👩👱♀️👩🦰!

I have studied the Holy Ghost and receiving personal revelation many times, but I always get something new out of it. Dallin H. Oaks said, "[A person may have] a strong desire to be led by the Spirit of the Lord but … unwisely extends that desire to the point of wanting to be led in all things. A desire to be led by the Lord is a strength, but it needs to be accompanied by an understanding that our Heavenly Father leaves many decisions for our personal choices." There are things that we aren't going to get answers for and that means it is in our hands to make the right decision. Heavenly Father trusts us and wants us to learn from it. I also like D&C 9:7-8 which says, "(7) Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me. (8) But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right." If we desire to receive personal revelation we need to study it out, go to the Lord, and act. </span></span></p><span style="color: #a64d79;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">After DCM, we went out for lunch as a district to Cicis Pizza.

I keep forgetting that they haven't seen me since I broke my collarbone. I was called half a sister 😂. Well I guess we aren't a trio anymore, we are a 2 1/2. We cleaned out trash cans. It was such a nice day and we set up a time to meet with a guy named Corey. We planned to do a Bible study with him and it went really well.

It depends on the day how many people stay for it. On Thursday we had 7 people, 2 members, and 5 missionaries. It is good because the people we are teaching get a lesson or a recap and we are able to find new people. A couple weeks ago Hermana Bowen said "Hello," and Francisco said, "it's me." It was hilarious!😂 It is fun teaching the people how to pronounce words. When we say the word how it is supposed to be said and they just give us the look "IT'S THE SAME!😐😑"</span></span></p><span style="color: #a64d79;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Friday was amazing and full of miracles!! The day was going great. We had a picnic with the STLs... Sister Robinson got transferred to Charleston and is now my STL!😆AGAIN! But this time she isn't my companion. It was super fun to talk and relax under the shade in a park. (Off topic, it is now in the 70s outside. It's the beginning of March and I'm already getting my tan on.) That night we had a lesson set up with someone named Marisela we met at Edvino's baptism last week. She is friends with him and Hermana Mendez. We drove to the address... it was the wrong address. We called her, got the right address, and ended up being a half hour late :(. We were originally just thinking we were going to talk to her and her daughter, but her husband and son joined! They are such an amazing family. They know a little about the church and love missionaries! The Spirit was strong as we shared scriptures and our testimonies. We are going over again on Wednesday! I can see this family being baptized.😄</span></span></p><span style="color: #a64d79;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: arial, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">We tracked down an ice cream truck and bought ice cream! Ice cream is delicious and it is even more fun when you get it from a truck.🍦🚛 Then, Hermana Kurns and I Binge-watched Safely Zone during dinner. Safety-Zone is safety videos that were made for missionaries and we had to watch them all before we came out into the field. They are super cheesy! 😂 It was really fun! Hermana Kurns was eating her pop tarts and I was eating tilapia and baked potatoes.

All of our lessons fell through one after the other. But it's okay because there were other things that were supposed to happen.
