{Letter #30} "Crazy Sick Blessed"

Image
Hey everyone!! How's it going?! I promise I'm still alive and doing well, although I haven't written in a while haha.... in fact, we were in a lesson the other day and the lady kept saying how she feels "Crazy sick blessed" and I think that accurately describes how I feel too! There are so many blessings and miracles all around! Some of the ones recently for us: -we've been finding new people to teach!! We had a time in there when we found out that one of our friends lived outside of our area and two more were moving outside of our area. We've come back since then and are working really hard to find some people that DO live in our area. -zone conference AND mission conference both in one week! We had Elder Gonzalez from the 70 come to visit us and it was awesome! -we had exchanges with our sister training leaders! It was good! I always learn so much :) -it rained!!

{Letter #29} Only in Utah

JULY 23, 2021 Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well! We have an all-day p-day today for Pioneer day! Not going to lie, I think this is my first time doing anything for it but I'm definitely not complaining haha!! It's been a minute since I wrote an email but I am still here and so much has happened! Highlights: -I got permanently reassigned here to Utah! I am grateful to know for sure now and excited for these next six months here in SLC! -I don't know if I ever sent this update but I got whitewashed (my companion and I both came to the area together) into the Spanish ward that I started my mission in! We are also serving in the 6 English wards in the stake. It's been so fun!! -baptism!! Our friends Brynnley and Marcus got baptized a couple weeks ago and it was so amazing! The spirit was so strong! -New mission president! We were able to personally meet President and Sister Spencer this past week and they are so awesome!   -We've been working hard and seeing...

{Letter #28} 10 Minutes

JUNE 28, 2021 Hey everyone!! I hope you're all doing well! A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks but here are some of the big highlights: -I got transferred! Back to my greenie area (the area I started in)! Except, now instead of just covering half the Spanish ward, we also cover the other 6 English wards in the stake. My companion and I both transferred into the area together (aka a whitewash) so it's been super crazy but sooo fun! -I gave my first talk in Spanish!! Due to some miscommunication, we ended up having 15 minutes before the meeting to prepare for the 10 minute talk 🤣 It was wild -biking!! Yes, I'm still in a biking area and lemme tell ya-for being in a valley our area is not very flat. As in our stake is literally a hill and we live at the bottom of it haha... Even though we kinda die a little bit every day, it's honestly so fun Spiritual thought: I was thinking a lot this week about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We hear so often that we need to ...
