The Lord will Qualify You

Hello family and friends,                                                                                                           June 19,2018

Just wanted to let everybody know that when you feel inadequate, kneel down a pray and the Lord will guide you step for step. 

I am a mom! Haha, a mission mom. I couldn't write yesterday because I was traveling all day with my hija. My wonderful hija is Hermana Tovalino, from Lima, Peru. She is already a wonderful missionary with grand potential. Grateful to be with her and for this opportunity to learn and grow with her.
My new daughter! I'm a MOM! (I'm training) Hermana Tovalino from Peru!

When we got to the house after the elders called us with the news that I and Hermana Luna! are training, I knelt down and said a prayer. I knew that I was inadequate to train, and I also was a little nervous because all of the missionaries in this generation are from countries in south america. Haha I wanted to train in english. But as I prayed and poured my heart out to my Heavenly Father, I prayed for help. I said that I am not qualified, please qualify me. This scripture was brought to my remembrance.
D&C 4 "Y fe, esperanza, caridad y amor, con la mira puesta únicamente en la gloria de dios, lo califican para la obra." (sorry, you will have to translate it)

I know that God qualifies His children with his grace. I know that he is working right alongside us. I will never forget when I saw these new missionaries walk into the room in Villahermosa and I saw Hermana Tovalino and knew instantly that this is my hija. I just knew, I felt it.

God is real, and we are excited for all this miracles with we will recognize this cambio. I love you all, have a great week!
This is Vero and she owns a resturant here and I love her!

Happy Belated Birthday Porter! I love you. Miss you.

May 13, 2019 Happy Monday Everyone! And happy final week of the mission to me!!! So here's the thing: this is my last letter from the mission field. Next Monday, I'll be traveling to the mission offices in Villa, and Tuesday morning I'm off. Gone. Ouch, it hurts just thinking about it. Let me explain why: A perfect example: Sunday. Yesterday, I really felt the meaning of the hymn, "I Stand All Amazed". First, because Hilaria was baptized! She met the hermanas about 10 months ago, and we had actually left her, because I thought that she would never get around to it. But we felt like we needed to darle una vuelta, so we did. And she told us that it was time, she was ready to get baptized. I thought, "HA! Será. We´ll find out." Very quickly we were able to notice that the Spirit had been working on her. So on Sunday, she got baptized.  Just imagine it. Sitting in sacrament meeting, among members and families that I know and love. On one b...

Patience is a heavenly virtue

May 6, 2019 Happy Monday everybody! Can I just say, the Lord is so good to us? He really is. And I love Him. This past week, I was studying and thinking about what I should develop of the Christlike attributes. You already know, when we ask God what we need to improve or change, He lets us know pretty quickly.  So I am trying to develop more patience. I like it, it is very closely related with faith and hope. At the end of my study, I prayed for the opportunity to develop patience.  HE ANSWERED. Splits with Herbertson! So great! This week, it was hot.  This week, it was very, very, hot. It was also the "Día del Niño" so everybody was out and about partying, just like the past 2 weeks. So there weren't very many people available.  We planned well, but the backups to the backups fell. People that were going to get baptized suddenly had to suspend our visits, and people that were going to come to church never showed up. I may or may not h...

Just Keep Swimming

Hola Family, Swimming in rain. Just for a couple of days. But SO much. I think that for a moment God was tempted to send another flood. Can´t say I blame him. Happy Monday! Today (as is everyday) was an expierience. We went to Palenque today (it is only about an hour away) to play sports with a couple of other zones. Super fun! It is hilarious. Because there are all these latinos who are born with a soccer ball in their hand... and then there is the crazy American running around like a pollo sin su cabeza. All of the Elders now know to fear me and my mad soccer and bball skills. haha Gotta love me a coke down here in Mexico!!! Life is good! Working hard down here. I was so happy this past week because we had an awesome lesson with our fecha, Elizabeth. I felt the strongest impression during the lesson to tell her that she is loved. So I told her that God loved her. After, we had her pray and we asked her how she felt. She said she couldn´t explain, she felt like cryin...
