2 MONTHS DOWN!!

Hola!


It has been a crazy long but such a good week! We got to go to the temple today so that pushed our pday back! Which meant we had a long week to work! It started off slow and hard not gonna lie. It didn't matter if we called 100 people nobody wanted anything to do with us! So then we decided to knock doors… well we had no success with that either! So me and my companion were low key like yup RIP to West Palm Beach North. 


We didn't give up though! We kept calling. And in the little bit of spanish I can use I would call everyone I could find. Suddenly I started to find people that were interested. I was hyped and kept calling in one night we got Like 10 lessons scheduled. My comp was kinda downer about it still because she came from and area that was super successful she told me to not be surprised when these lessons cancel.


Well we were able to have all of these lessons and more! We have got in contact with so many people who want to learn more! God has prepared the people in West Palm Beach! We just had to work hard and search them out! My Spanish was decent enough that they could understand what I'm trying to say haha! 


We have two friends on date for baptism and lots of friends that are super close! Keep my friends here in West Palm Beach in your prayers as they prepare for baptism:) 


This week as I've watched my friends here learn about the gospel and the ups and downs that they are having along with my own person conversion to the gospel and the rollercoaster it can be for us all. I have thought alot about this quote: "A Saint is a Sinner who keeps on trying." What a blessing it is that God knew we would struggle and sin. So he gave us the blessing of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He gives us the opportunity to keep trying every single day. We are expected to sin but we are also expected to keep trying. 


I have found much comfort this week knowing that all I have to do is keep trying and repenting and God can do the rest. I am grateful for the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for each of us and know that because of it I am able to sin and still be a saint. KEEP TRYING! KEEP REPENTING! AND KEEP BELIEVING! Then as we allow God to do his part everything will work out. 


Have a good week! Love and Miss yall so much!!! Reach out I would love to hear how yall are doing! 


LOVE LIKE JESUS

HURRICANE DEBBY

Heyoo! Hope it was a baller week for all of you. My week consisted of pretty much no time in my area. Thats one of the hatdest things for me to be out of my area. I left my poor trainee that knows no spanish here in miami with another sister who knows zero spanish. Lets just say our area has suffered. Only 3 more exchanges so I am praying those go well!  This week we also survived the tropical storm hurricane thing. We were locked up all day Saturday but nothing to crazy happened just bad storms.  Our friends havent really been keeping committments and its been hard. We are praying for them! We know God will provide.  This week in sacrament during testimony meetings there were so many people going up and it got me thinking about all the different members there are in the church. And these are a few I thought of.  1. MEMBER MEMBER- Someone who loves to tell everyone they are a memeber becasue they were baptized but does nothing else besides pull the member card. ...

Olá, tudo bem?? There is my little Portuguese for the week if that doesn't show you how crazy my week was I don't know what will! Haha! This week there were some really big struggles with the sisters we live with so we have been working in the Spanish and Portuguese area! It's crazy because I can pretty much understand everything my speaking is not so good haha. This week was a grind we found so many people and got some really awesome friends on date! Mentally this week was a hard one. My companion doesn't speak any Spanish so it's only me that teaches. I felt like a chicken with my head cut off most of the week. So many friends missionaries and members that need our help but I was struggling to keep going myself. I felt like I was sprinting and not getting anywhere. It was frustrating. Many times during the week I wondered how in the world I can do this for 75 more days! Then to add to it I got asked to speak in sacrament haha. Don't worry I survived.  Fun fact...

LAST DAY @ THE MTC!!

Image
YOOOOOO! I finally made it to the last day of the MTC. I leave for Florida super early tomorrow morning and then don't get there until 6pm tmr night. So that's gonna be a LOOOOONG travel day! I get to spend it with my companion. So that will be fun.... NOT! I am definitely looking forward to a new comp. Hopefully my trainer will work out haha!! Anyway my time at the MTC has felt like a lifetime and I swear I know like No spanish so this is gonna be wild!  This week in our spanish only speaking it was hard. I feel like I completely lose my personality when I speak spanish. I cannot really say anything more than what needs to be said. So it was a pretty quiet week. We also took our final spanish test to see how much we have learned. The goal was to get a 4 on the test. After the test my companion got mad at me for getting a high score and said I didn't teach her enough. So that was a real fun time. But ya even though I had a high score I still feel like I kno...
