Week 26

Hola a todos!!! Espero que estén bien!! Les extraño muchísimo!!! We had transfers and im in Puerto Plata in Playa Oeste, it's seriously so hot here, I'm basically always sweating and my skin is always sticky but that's the mission, right?? I'm with hermana Olmos! I think in my email last week I definitely had the wrong name and I'm not gonna lie, it took me about a week to remember her name hahaha! But she's from Mexico and is a chef and loves to cook so that's been so fun! She's really kind and I'm happy we are comps! I'm learning lots :) On Saturday literally all our lessons fell through, like we only had one, and everyone was rejecting us. I felt like I was just walking around this foreign country wasting my time, but then we walked past a colmado and they were playing the song "and every little thing, is gonna be alright" and right at that moment I knew God loved me and knew me and knew exactly what I needed at that moment.  I feel ...

Hola a todos!  This week was wilddd It was the last week of this transfer and it was the fastest 6 weeks of my whole life!! I've had so much fun serving in Bella Vista for the last 18 weeks, serving the most amazing people, with the greatest companions and the most amazing ward!  butttt TRANSFER NEWS!!  I'm going to Playa Oeste in Puerto Plata! My new comp is Hermana Cebrian and I'm so excited to meet her!! I dont know much about her but she just got out of training and has been serving her whole mission in this area! I'm excited for her to show me around and to meet all the people!  This week was insane!!!! We had 2 exchanges! On Tuesday I went to Los Reyes with Hermana Cazier and Hermana Streadbeck and we had so much fun! Then I went straight from there and headed to Bonao! I was with Hermana Brinkerhoff and she showed me around her beautiful area covered in mountains and trees, it was a dreammm and I absolutely loved it!!! Thursday rolls around and I'm finally he...

Holaaa!  I hope you are all doing soo well!!  I love and miss you all so much! First things first, I feel like time is just FLYING by, like what??! It's already the last week of this transfer! It's already almost the middle of April?? So crazy! This week was so so fun and so so crazy busy!  We had another exchange this week, I went to Licey with Hermana Biddold! Licey is gorgeous, its a campo! Wayy different vibes from where I'm at in Bella Vista! I'm more in the city and honestly when I was gone, I missed the loud colmado music and motorcycles everywhere! But it was gorgeous there! She extended her mission and has been out 19 months! She's such an amazing missionary and I'm so glad I was able to spend some time with her and learn so much from her!   Miracle of the week  Okay so fun story It was raining all day then the rain stopped, we were on top of a mountain and we were just starting to walk down, when all of the sudden we heard "baby" from Justin ...

Week 23

Holaaa!! como están ustedes?? How have I been a missionary for 5 months? This week was so much fun!  A super super busy week!! On Monday night we had a member meal at 6:30 then at 8:00 we had a lesson with a less active member and we had some strong ward members come with us! We had to be home at 9:00 for a meeting.  Well, we all know that member meals always go longer than expected. The member meal went until 8:15 then we hustled down to go teach. This lesson was so strange and the less active member wouldn't let us leave hahaha, we said múltiple times that we needed to go and he just kept talking haha. The clock hit 9 and we were like "we're so sorry but we gotta go" so we got up and started running. We were at least a 20 minute walk from our house but with our speedy running skills we got home by 9:07, tu sabes, but let's just say the next day we were both a little sore hahaha. We had another exchange this week and I got to be with Hermana Streadbeck again! Thi...
