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 like my spanish is getting so much better, since my comp doesn't speak really any english we only speak spanish! It's been quite the adjustment but hey we can communicate so thats awesome! Sometimes we are having a conversation and I think to myself "hey wait I'm speaking in spanish" kinda fun! But the people here really know how to humble you fast, on Wednesday we were in a lesson with these two old men and one of them, when we were leaving, said to me "you should really learn spanish" sooo ya haha kinda humbled me very fast.


I'm serving in the area where there are voluntary teachers here who are about 19 and they are all from Utah who teach English to all the little kids. Everytime I turn around a kid is grabbing onto my dress calling me teacher, so call me teacher I guess.


On Sunday we sang in sacrement meeting. I had no idea until we were sitting in the chapel!! So that was great, you guys all know I love to sing and I'm a great singer! I hope the members still like me after that experience.


Spiritual 
I was studying patience and I read in Alma 26: 27
Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.
This was literally me this week! I was sad because we were having no sucess, and I didnt know what to do, I wanted to give up, but the Lord puts little miracles in our paths every day and in every moment to keep us going. We just need to open our eyes because there is a miracle in everything, in every moment!!


I hope you all have the best week of your entire life and keep grinding!!
I love and miss you all, keep me updated and remember to put God first

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 ...
