Happy Monday!! Happy 14 months to me! Happy life!                                                   Jan. 21, 2019 How is everybody? Great? Hope so. We had a great week! It was a crazy busy week, but it was great! It started off with cambios, and that meant I was waiting in the bus station (ADO) for 5 hours waiting for my new comp hna miranda and teaching everybody how to play Speed. The card game. Mama and daughter reunited! Me and Hna.   Tovalina So it started off great! haha. We actually didn't get to have a normal work day here in Acayucan until Thursday, because I was in Villahermosa learning lots of cool stuff about how to be a better missionary and help others and about the area plan for Mexico. Fun fact, there are about 20 thousand (jokes, not that many) zone leaders and only 5 sister training leaders. You will be able to see in the p...

Happy new transfer!                                                                                                     Jan. 14, 2019  My dear Hermana GarcĂ­a left me for Villahermosa, and I am now with the lovely Hermana Miranda! I actually met her her first day in the mission, she is adorable! So stoked to be here with her in Acayucan!  Big Shrimp and me with B of Mormon We had a really cool experience this week. We received a referencia from another mission in Mexico that is just above our boundaries, and we went to go look for Varinia, the ref. We made it just in time! We found her house just as she was locking up and about to get in her car! We said, "Buenas tardes!" and she saw us, smiled, and came running! She said,...

Happy New Year! 2019!!!

Happy New Year and Happy Monday! We have had a wonderful week!  Reading my new B of Mormon and journaling! This is Paloma! She is so Wonderful!!! I just wanted to mention a couple of people that we have met and love working with.  First is Paloma! She is an amazing person who works with members. They have been inviting her to church, and she has now come 2 Sunday's in a row! She absolutely loves learning. This Sunday she told us she wasn't sure if she was going to come, but she decided to because she feels good there. She is very receptive to the Spirit! Sometimes it's as simple as that, saying, "I know that it´s the right thing, so I am going to do it!" Sun peeking through clouds On Jan 6th, there's a celebration here. They bake thick loaves of bread and bake little white dolls inside. Then each cuts a slice of bread, and if you get the white doll you have to bring tamales for everyone to the next party! I didn't get a white doll this...

Hello All,                                                                                           Dec. 31, 2018 I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year! 2019 here we come! Holy hotcakes.  These past couple of weeks I haven't been able to help but think of my Christmas wish list. It included some homemade food, hugs from everyone, some snow, and watching a ball game. (I know, very touching) This week my list changed a little bit. Love my new Hogwarts shirt from Mindy and Cory and family!!! Hna Melena and me got to go out on Splits! It was so great! Christmas morning, the entire world was sleeping. We had a day of work to do, and we felt that we should visit a less active Hermana that we hadn't seen in a ...
