Week 13

2ND TRANSFER DONE
This transfer flew by! It's transfers on Tuesday and I get to stay in Bella Vista with all my friends and WITH HERMANA LOWRY WAHOOOO!!!!! so so so excited that she gets to finish my training!!!


This week, our water and power wasn't working very well hahaha. It was on and off. So I had to take a bucket shower a few days this week and that was new haha! 


Roodlee was baptized on Thursday!!!:)))
Something I love about Roodlee
He's a 14 year old boy, and his birthday was last Saturday, he messaged us and told us he wished his birthday was on Sunday, because Sunday is the best day, because it's the Lord's day. 
Another cute thing he told us...
He said, not even basketball makes me as happy as God does!!! SO CUTE!!!! and this kid LOVES basketball, but he loves God more and I love that about him. 
He has such a strong testimony and such a strong love for God, HE'S THE BEST!!!


We had interviews with Presidente Bretón on Friday! They went so good and I love presidente! Another reason interviews were a blast is because we got to hang out with all the missionaries in our district for like 3 hours, it was a blast!!!


spiritual thought
3rd nephi 12: 43-45


"And behold it is written also, that thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy; But behold I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good."


We should love everyone as God loves everyone, we are ALL children of God. Our purpose here on earth is to become like Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ loved everybody, he ministered and served everybody. To become like them, we should love everybody no matter what just as Jesus and God love them. 


Message me! I love to see what you are up to even though I can't respond!

Heyyy!!! Im loving life here in the DR! SO MUCH FUN!!!! this week was crazyyy!!!  This week we had exchanges! On Friday morning the Hermana leaders came to our apartment and picked me up and I said bye to my companion for 24 hours! The hermana leaders are a threesome so it was me, Hermana Dominguez, and Hermana Torrez. We headed to their apartment in a different area of Santiago but it was only about 20 minutes from my area. We had lunch (Hermana Torrez can COOK!!!) we did companion study, then headed out for the day! Their area was popey (rich) haha! It was beautiful, flowers everywhere!! But the people weren't as friendly. But we got ice cream from BON for dinner and it was good but not as good as my mom and grandpa's homemade ice cream!! The next day I headed back home and I missed my companion! I love my area so much and my comp so much!  We have been speaking only Spanish in the streets and I think it's been helping me a ton! Shoutout to Boomer for the great idea!! FEL...

Hola hola cómo están? Hey hey how's everyone doing? I hope you are all doing so so good and I just want you to all know I miss you so much! This week was so speedy!  And not anything really special happened. It definitely was a little bit of a harder week but with God anythings possible. But I saw a few wonderful miracles. Uur friend Jenny. She told us she wanted to go to church but she only had money to get to church, not to get back home. But she took a step of faith and God worked out the rest of the details like He always does.  We had zone conference and it was so so good. The thing that stuck most with me was becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ, not just a missionary. We also talked about keeping the end in mind as missionaries and our goal as missionaries is to baptize people who are converted to Jesus Christ. It was a really good conference. Then the senior missionaries made peanut butter bars and they reminded me of my dad, bittersweet. On Sunday we had stake conferen...

HEY EVERYONE!!!! Hows everyone doing?? On December 12th I got to the DR! It was a long day of travel but we made it! We flew from Mexico to Florida then from Florida to the DR! We got on our second flight to Santiago and the plane was full of natives. I tried to talk to this cute old man sitting next to me but I swear he wasn't speaking Spanish hahaha. That's when I knew I was in for a wild ride.  We got to Santiago and went to President Bretóns house! We spent the night there and in the morning they had a Dominican breakfast ready for us! It was really good! Then we headed to the mission office and had orientation. Then we got to meet our companions! My comp is so awesome! Her name is Hermana Lowry! She's been out in the field for almost 16 months! She's an incredible missionary and I love her!! We headed to our area and I'm in Bella Vista!  The people here are so awesome!  We mostly teach kids and women! The kids absolutely love to hear the gospel!  Since I'm ...
