Trust in the Lord

 Wow. What a week haha. 

This week FLEW by. It was so busy. 

Tuesday we had our multizone conference with 75 missionaries and my companion and I had to give a 25 minute training on unity! It actually went really good and everyone loved it!! We also all got our own box of Little Caesers!! Crazy. Tuesday night 4 elders from a different zone slept with us because there weren't any buses back to their zone. We slept two to a bed and it wasn't the best sleep.... 






Friday we had interviews with President Probst and that was just good. I love having interviews. 

On Friday night we had dinner with Darwin and shared a few commandments. That was a good night and we are growing closer with him and he is making steps closer to baptism!! 

Staurday we cleaned a school as a service project and it was raining the whole time. Kinda fun but kinda cold too. 

Then on Sunday we gave talks on missionary work!! My 1st talk in the mission... it went really good and the members said I did good haha. 

Now this week was super busy and I found myself really trusting in the Lord to help me. Made me think of a scripture in Alma 36:3

"whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day."

I saw the hand of the Lord everyday this week. And I know that as we trust in him and call on him through prayer, he will help us!!! I want to invite you guys to trust in God during any hard times you have. Trust that he will help you. You will be able to see many blessings in your life. 

I love you all!! 

Don't forget to pray

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...

Baptism!

  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...
