Week 52

hola! ¿cómo están? espero que estén bien <3
This week absolutely flew by but at the same time is was so slow, but every single day was full of a new adventure and I'm so grateful I am able to have the experiences I am having and  am learning the things I am learning. Thank you to everyone who is helping to make it happen :)


There is a new park in our area and since it's new it's always busy, but on Tuesday it was a down pour and nobody goes to the park when it's raining. So since it was empty when we passed it, we most definitely took a pitstop and laughed our hearts outs, swinging in the rain for a few minutes. 


We had zone conference this week and it was so so good to see all my friends and be able to learn how I can improve personally as a missionary. It was such a motivational conference. 


We had so many fire lessons this week. Keep our friends in your prayers. especially, 
Anaís
Sultana and Frante 
Wilda
Yeykena
Rafaeli
The Beltre couple
The Zapata couple


Something that stuck out to me at zone conference is that we can find new people to teach in many different ways. Contacting in the street, references from members, door knocking, social media references and many more.
This week we decided to try and visit all the social media references we have recieved. 
On Saturday we left our house and we walked from 3 until 8:45 and all of our lessons fell through. Until we showed up at our social media reference house. She recieved us with open arms and we had the most spiritual lesson. We read in Romans 8 and finished with verse 38 and 39.
 "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
After we read this verse, she sat there quietly and you could see her eyes reading that verse, again and again. After about a minute she looked up at us and said "where is the church?" 
My comp and I looked at each other in shock. Like did she really extend our invitation for us? She is sooo ready for the gosepl and even though we were rejected all day long, after walking for 6 hours straight, that led us to our friend Yeykena. 
It was such a spiritual filled lesson and I truly know that God is in every detail. 


I lowkey got so sick this week I thought I was going to die in the calle but God gave me strength and we got the work done.


There was a ward party and the members were going harddd, they pulled on the microphone and sang and had a dominican dance partyyyy. It was the time of my life. 


On Saturday night, in the middle of the night, all the sudden the co2 alarm went off and I don't remember anything but apparently all the hermanas in the house had to drag me out of the room from my bed to the outside because I wouldn't move hahaha. But they set up beds on the balcony and we had a fun sleepover, and when I woke up let's just say i was a little confused. haha


The work is popping off right now. Everyone keep our area and all our friends in your prayers :) 


spiritual thought 
This week I was studying about compassion and how Christ is compassionate. How having compassion is having a deep love for someone, having charity for someone. 
In the scriptures, Christ has compassion for everyone, He has a deep love for everyone. It got me thinking.


Christ is charity 
charity never faileth 
Christ will never fail us
Because he is full of charity


1 Corinthians 13: 8
Moroni 7: 47
John 15: 13
Alma 7: 11- 12 


I know Christ loves us and is full of charity, for everyone of us. He gave His life for us because He loves us. It was the greatest sacrifice.  A great sacrifice and an act of love. He sacrificed His life for us, what can we sacrifice for Him to show our love for Him? What would you sacrifice for Christ? 


I love you all and have the greatest week ever, set up decorations for Halloween and send me pictures!
Remember God loves you and to put Him first <3

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 ...
