Miracles

 Hey everyone!!!! 

This week was a really solid week. 

We started it off with MLC. Which is a meeting with all of the zone leaders with the assistants and President and Sister Probst. We got some super good council on the doctrine of Christ and how we can use that better as missionaries. We got to do it at the mission president’s house too so that was cool. 

I also haven't even talked about English class here but it's on another level. We have a beginners class and an advanced class. The sisters in the ward teach the beginner class and have like 30 people every class. We teach the advanced class and have about 15 every class (Tuesday and Thursday). And because so many come, we are official English connect teachers and can give the students diplomas! So on Thursday we had a graduation for all of the students who passed. Around 80 people showed up. All of them were not members and we had a good time! So crazy. 





Then on Sunday we had a really awesome visit with Alex and his family. His wife's family are all members, and they just don't come to church because they work. But him and his wife come lots. We went and everyone was there but Alex. They told us he was sick and was in bed all day. Which was a bummer because we wanted to meet with him. But then we went upstairs to watch a video on the TV and the wife (Marisol) brought Alex out of their room!!! He was feeling sooooo much better and was able to watch the video and be a part of the spiritual thought. What a miracle that he felt better. It was super super spiritual and powerful and we are so excited to be helping this family. We go back next Saturday to have a visit!!!

So today we read Mormón 9 as a mission on zoom. And there was this verse that stuck out. 
15 And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.

I testify that Christ lives. I testify that God is a God of miracles. That he loves every single one of you. I love the savior and I love this work. I love you guys and invite you to look for miracles this week in your life. 

Have a great week and please read the Book of Mormón!!!

Big Changes

  Hey everyone!!   So this week we had transfers and I got moved to a super cool area called San Lucas Toliman. It's on the famous Lake Atitlan and surrounded by volcanoes. It is soooo pretty here!! I don't have a ton of pictures but I will take more this week don't worry. My companion is Elder Perez from Mexico and I am starting his training!!! I'm so excited and there's tons of work to do here.  The missionaries before us really didn't leave us anything to work with so we are starting from 0... but with a little bit of hard work and some time we will see miracles!!  This week in my studies I came across a verse from Doctrine and Covenants section 50:44 "44 Wherefore, I am in your midst, and I am the good shepherd, and the stone of Israel. He that buildeth upon this rock shall never fall." I love that it has two different names of Christ and that it gives us a promise. If we build upon his rock, we will never fall!!  Such a big blessing.  Happy new ye...

  Hey everyone!!! So, I probably won’t send very long emails until the last week... but these last two weeks have been awesome!   Last Sunday we had 11 people come to church, which is the biggest number I have ever had or seen!! SUCH A BIG MIRACLE for me.  On Saturday we were able to baptize Abigail, which was also another miracle story. After, she texted us and told us how grateful she was and that she will never forget us and hopes we never forget her. I love being a missionary.  This coming week we already have super big days planned with a lot of new potential people and I am so excited and am trying to finish strong! Last Tuesday we went to the temple. That was one of the best, most spiritual experiences on my mission.    I don't have much time left but just trying to finish strong!!   I have been putting "be happy" at the end of my emails for a little while now because I truly believe that being happy is a choice. Obviously we will have sad days ...

Time is Running Out

Heyyyy everyone I hope you are all doing good!!  I didn't send an email last week sorry about that. But these last two weeks have been super good!! We have seen the Lord's hand and his timing in everything.  We were walking up a street trying to talk to everyone and then this mom and son stopped us and offered us some empanadas. My companion bought one and then we talked to them about the church! We had a visit with them a little bit after and they told us they NEVER walk down that one street but for whatever reason decided to walk down it. So that's cool. We are really hoping we can help them come to church.  We got a referral from the bishop’s wife. Her name is Abigail. Somehow Abigail was talking to the missionaries 2 years ago but never had time to go to church. And then somehow found the bishop’s wife's number. She has come the last 2 Sundays and is super ready. She told us she had already received her answer about the Book of Mormón and the church. So cool.  He...
