Hola mis amigos!! Wow this was such an amazing week I don't even know where to start! Being in the MTC has definitely been a tough transition, but I can witness that Jesus Christ does not leave us alone in our trials when we turn to Him!! As I have continued to pray for comfort and peace, I have been able to feel so peaceful and close to my savior. And I have felt so much JOY! I'm not saying that everything about leaving my family, being in a new place with new people, learning a new language, and learning how to teach the gospel is easy.

Hola everyone!! Wow this week has definitely been the most stretching, spirit filled, eye-opening, back breaking (literally after sitting in a chair looking at a computer everyday), uplifting week of my life!!

Speaking of which, I am learning Spanish! It's definitely a process, but I know as I keep putting in my effort the Lord will help me with the rest! I also entered the MTC yes...
