Goodness! Another email! Don't worry only 5 more then you don't have to get another email from me. Honestly it was a really long week. The days and weeks are SO LONG these days! I know I will soon be looking back wishing I was still in Flordia even on the long days but goodness its rough.  This week we were able to find quite a few people! We even did some member work.... this was hard for me but I decided to give it a shot. We heart attacked some members... throw back to when we did that every week for YW (iykyk)  A couple of weeks ago we got a referral for a man who was super super cool! He really wanted to come to church but he didnt have a car. I honestly forgot about the car situation ans just sent him the invite and he said he would come. He came to church and we found out he walked 5.5 hours just to get to church! After talking to him he told us that he really just needed to save up enough money for a bike! Well the good news was that I had a perfectly brand new bike th...

Merry Christmas!! Hope you all have an amazing Christmas with good food, family, and of course Jesus!  I will keep this short because I know the last thing you want to do is read my email for christmas!  This week I got my comp and have not spoke very much english since haha. I miss english but its good for me! Ill be honest I had a really bad attitude about Christmas. I was like I might as well be home and I didnt really have any members from this ward that I wanted to be with so I was not having it!  I realized that I needed to change my attitude or it was gonna be AWFUL! So I stopped hating on Christmas and decided to serve! We went to nursing homes ( ya crazy don't worry they still TERRIFY me. Shout out to bub for making me go so many times even when I cried and she had to carry and pull me in... yes i was like 17) anyway we went and visitied and sang christmas songs. We also bought some flowers and gave them to random people!  The light that came into the people...

Wow another week! Sorry i didnt email last it was crazy! Time is offically flying. I feel like it was just my pday. This week is transfers and I offically start my last transfer. I dont really know how to feel. I'm super excited and miss everyone but also Florida has become home and I will miss it! That being said all I can do is work my guts out and then when its time to be home its time to be home:)  This week I convinced my companions to knock doors with me and I was in heaven. Something about the anticipation of somebody opening the door makes me so excited and so scared hahaa! Every door we knock they speak spanish so its really effective for our area.  When we were knocking we were able to find 14 new friends to teach and 9 of them came to church and 11 came to our activity we had for Christmas. They seem super excited to keep learning and we are excited to teach them!  We had interviews this week and my mission president asked if I would train AGAIN and train a nat...

Yooooo! What's good? Not Box Elder basketball that's for sure… sorry dad and krew love you I am officially in a trio and over the Spanish ward and Portuguese branch. Lets just say it's a struggle. My Portuguese is not close to good enough. I surprisingly understand pretty much everything but speaking is a struggle. We drive all over the place which makes the work hard but we are figuring it out. Our friend Isabella got baptized yesterday!! She was so excited when she got out of the water she was crying and ran and gave me the biggest hug. I was SOAKED! Grateful that God softened her moms heart so she could be baptized.  This week we had member meals 2 times a day. As most if you know members meals are not my favorite my favorite things so I am learning to not be picky but grateful. God has a sense of humor that's for sure.  Yesterday to kick off December I decided I wanted to start studying about the birth of the Savior. But in a way I never have before. I decided I wan...
