Crazy Week

Hey yall! Another week down. It was a super super crazy week. We did lots of things we dont usually do which was kind of exciting!


This week we knocked doors... unfortunately we didnt have any success but it was fun to be out knocking! We also found the best way to find for us was to hold a sign on the side of the road for english class. We were able to find 50 people this week from doing that! 


This weekend Elder Christofferson came to our mission and I got the chance to listen to 4 devotionals by him! It was super cool to just be able to listen to him speak. 2 of the messages he gave were in spanish and those were my favorite! 


Tomorrow my companion is getting a surgery so we might be moving a little slower than usual! Lots of phone work but we are excited to get to know all the people we found this week! 


A quick thought this week comes from something Elder Christofferson said. He talked about president Nelson ans described him as someone who has the Pure Love Of Christ. That stood out to me alot! 


I studied the Pure Love Of Christ in gospel library and if says someone who is "filled with the Pure Love Of Christ is Anxious to Bless Others " I hope to one day be described as someone who has the pure love of christ and I hope you all do too! 


Have the best week! 


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...

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...
