Goodbye Beach, Hello Jungle

Well happy Tuesday everybody!!                                                                                       Oct. 22, 2018

  Guess what? I got transferred! I couldn't write yesterday because I was traveling all day long. I went from one extreme of the mission to another! I am now in Acayucan, Veracruz. About 5 hours from Villa, 8 hours from Carmen. I am back in the jungle!!!!!!!!!

Hermana Acela and her family have been so good to me. I love them!!!
Goodbye to Wiberth, Isabela, and Ricardo!!! :( So so Hard!


I am with Hermana Garcia, she is from Hidalgo. (México) I am so excited to get to know this area and get lost and meet new people and just be a missionary. I know that the Lord blesses us when we work our hardest. I loved Carmen, and by the time I left it almost felt like I was leaving home again. I will miss the ocean and miss the wonderful people there, but the best thing is I will always carry them with me in my heart. Hermana Hebertson is a great companion and is going to do great things, I am so happy I got to train her! Even though I think I learned more from her than she did from me.
How I loved and adored Hermana Hebertson! So grateful for all she taught me.
Loved being her trainer. Here's a silly picture of us together!

Pretty flowers along the way
 

So now it's time to give it all to the Lord. He is perfect and working alongside us in the field. I know that this is true! And I love you all! Have a great week!
I will miss Hermana Luz and her sweet daughter so much! Love them!

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...
