Halfway point, hit 9 months today! so so crazy! Where has the time gone, I still feel like I just got here! The mission is so so good and if you read this and you are thinking about a mission, do it. You won't regret it. this week was so so crazy wow where do i even start  We had interviews this week and they were so good. I just felt so refreshed after talking to Pres and he answered so many questions it was just so good. But then after my interview with Pres we had interviews with Hermana Bretón and we talked with her for HOURS hahaha like im not even kidding but i just love my President and Hermana Bretón they are so amazing. On friday at about 11:45am, we got back from the house from teaching some friends, I pull out the phone and we have a text and 3 missed calls from president. My first thought is "yikes what did i do wrong!!" lol and Hermana Díaz and I were so scared to call him back hahaha but we got up the courage, and called pres. he said "Hermana Díaz, you...

HEY EVERYONE!!! How are you all doing??!?! Out of Puerto Plata, onto Villa Olga!! I'm so grateful for all the friends and memories I made in Puerto Plata, it was SO hard to leave but I'm so excited for this next areaaaaa!!! We had transfers this week, on Wednesday night we were sitting in our house at 9:45 waiting for the news and mine came in, I quickly, nervously, and excitedly scrolled to the bottom to see where I was going and with who. I read " Villa Olga with Hermana Díaz" I was lowkey so disappointed because Villa oOga is soooo rich so the work is slow, I heard the members aren't great, and I have only spoken spanish for the past 12 weeks, I was expecting a break haha, I was a little sad, confused and frustrated. I prayed for comfort and then went to bed. I woke up the next morning feeling alright. But the second I got to Villa Olga with Hermana Díaz, I immediately knew and felt comforted that this was God's plan for me. So far the members have been so ...

Heyy what is uppp Guys this week is transfers! On to transfer 7!! how?? The mish is really really flying by, I can't believe it!!! I look at where I was at the beginning of my mission and it's incredible to see how much I have learned about missionary work, the gospel, and myself! It's such an amazing experience and such a great time to grow! But anyway this week was a little bonkers with tons of traveling which leaves us with little to no money but hey that's alright because this week was legit! Highlights of my week We got to go to the temple!!!! I'm so grateful we got to go back so soon, I miss going to the temple every week, we are seriously so blessed with where we live.  On Wednesday we took a road trip to Santiago! We had a sleepover in the house of the hermanas in Gurabo and let's just say it was a full on experience... before bed I got in the shower, and locked the door. Then after I showered I tried opening the door, it was stuck, the lock wouldn't...

This week was so good, another fast, hardworking, hot week!! Let's get into it!!! Highlights On our long 40 minute walk home one night, there was this man on the main road, with his roller skates on, headphones in, just dancing and cruising down the main road. His vibes were immaculate and it made my whole day. I strive to be as happy as the roller skating man. We were walking in the street and all the sudden my comp is like "help help!" and about half the neighbourhood came running to help. A bug flew into her eye and then peed in it and her eye was like swollen for a few hours. But every lesson we went to, everyone was so concerned for her! The people here are so kind. We were walking in the streets one day and we felt like the whole world was rejecting us, then we came across this little boy. H...
