Week 76

I feel like my time is running out. My mission is wrapping up. 
We have seen miracle after miracle this week. I've never seen the Lords hand so much. 


A few miracles from this week.


We have the cutest couple, Renel and Wesland. They were sooooo awesome and wanted to be baptized but it was imposible for them to be married and therefore be baptized so we had to stop teaching them. 
Renel, the husband ended up just barely moving to the states and his wife and son are here while he is providing for them. 
We sent Renels records to the missionaries in Florida and he is getting baptized!!
Super happy for him!
But even better is that we went to go teach his wife Wesland and she told us they both want to be baptized, and they are planning on doing it the same day, so they can make this step of progression together, as they said. I'm so so excited for them to be an eternal family.
Wesland gave us her testimony this week. 
She told us before we started visiting them they couldn't even afford chairs, but ever since they have seen miracles and they first bought 2 chairs for the missionaries and now they have 4 chairs and a table. All because of the gospel. She told us she loves the gospel and is so grateful for it with tears in her eyes. 
I learned from her that God has a greater plan. They aren't living together right now, but only so God can make it possible for them to become an eternal family. Trials and learning bring eternal blessings. 


Fredly is my favorite person in the Domincan Republic. We had to switch his baptism for next Saturday, but I have never seen the gospel bring so much light into someone's life. 
His best friend is Jesus and every time we stop by to share, he starts to glow.
Goodness gracias I love this gospel, I love Jesus.


We had a lesson with a group of friends. There were 12 of them gathered around under the flower tree learning about God. Such special moments. The spirit was so strong. 


We had zone conference! It was SUPER uplifting!! 
We learned a little more about how to teach simple and clear.
But my favorite part when Presidente Bretón did an activity at the end, he said "think of something you want" 
Then he said "council with the lord about it" and then after your prayer, get to work. 
We can't just sit around waiting for miracles to happen, we can't just sit around waiting, there isn't enough time. After we say amen, we get up and go to work, so God can work miracles through our diligence. 


ok can we talk about general conference?
SO AMAZING. SO UPLIFTING. SO FULL OF REVELATION. Send me what was your favorite talk and why!
My favorite talk was by Elder Uchtdorf when he spoke about Joy and the true source, the true fountain of our joy. 
Our purpose on earth it to have Joy. It is everything our Heavenly Father desires of us! He is cheering us on the way and provided a loving Savior as well to help us make it back to live in his loving presence. 
I know our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have an infinite eternal love for us because they are infinite and loving. As we follow Christ we will be in the path that leads to eternal joy. 


Pray for Hervé, William, Wenguel, and Fredly! 


I hope you all have a fabulous week 
I'll see you in a quick 11 days ah! 
Remember God loves you and to keep Him 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 ...
