Week 37

Hey everyone how's it going!!! I hope you are all having the best summer EVER! hags!


Anyway this whole mission thing is greatttt 
If you are thinking about a mission, do it!


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. He was probably 10 years old and he had a hose. He was spraying water in the potholes in the road and then he would jump in the puddles he made. He was just enjoying his life and nothing could take away from his joy. I thought, how can this little boy find so much joy in a mud puddle? 
Then I thought, Christ is like the puddle in the middle of the broken road. He is always there and when we go to Him we can find true joy.


We helped our friend open guandules, they are kind of like peas and it reminded me of my garden at home with my mom and made me so happy.


I hit 8 months!!! HOWW??? Loving life here, its just flying by!


Spiritual!!
I was thinking about opposition. There is opposition in all things. Jesus and Satan. Good and Bad. Happy and Sad. Hungry and Full. Relaxed and Stressed. True and a Lie.
I was thinking about life. We have hard days, weeks, months, and sometimes even years when we are struggling. But in 2 Nephi 2: 11 - 13 it talks about opposition. And without the bad we wouldn't know the good. Even though the hard times are sometimes more than we think we can bear, we can always turn to our Savior Jesus Christ and find strength in Him and when the bad times eventually pass, the good times are 100x better!!!

Week 10

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 ...
