Hola mis queridos amigos! I hope you are all doing well and enjoying fall!! We had an awesome week here! The time is really flying which is a little scary, but I'm grateful for the opportunity to be here and witnessing the hand of God blessing our work every day! Highlights/ Fun facts: - We had a lesson with our friends Emilia and Agusto this week who are so fun, and they took us to a café to eat croissants and we taught them the restoration! It was so amazing to feel the spirit as we taught the lesson even in a café and they loved it! - We had 6 of our progressing friends come to church this week which was AMAZING because having people come to church has been a real struggle for us in the past! I was sitting on the stand to play the piano, and I started crying as I saw them all walk in! They are all such wonderful people, and it made me so happy to see them exercising their faith to come to church and feel the Spirit there 😊 Miracle: This week we had a good amount of time open on...

Hola hola mis amigos!!! We had another amazing week here in Spain!! We ended up going up to Madrid a lot this week which was fun, and the work keeps moving forward 😊 Highlights/Fun facts: - We had a mission conference with Elder and Sister McConkie from the seventy and they were awesome!! They gave us some amazing trainings on how to recognize spiritual promptings and have urgency in the work as missionaries! I love them!! - I got to see all of my besties from the MTC Hermana Wright, Hermana Holbrook, and Hermana Finch! I love them!! (Shoutout to the rest of our MTC district! I miss you all 💛) - On our way back from the conference it started POURING rain so we got absolutely drenched trying to get back to our apartment!! The streets were actually like rivers and some puddles were up to our shins and it was an adventure!! - We had stake conference this week, so everyone got to go up to the stake center for church on Sunday and it's right next to the temple!! It was so beautiful an...

Hola mis amigos!! I can't believe it's already been a week! We were super busy this week and it literally flew by! We were able to meet with a ton of our members and friends and let's just say I never had trouble falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow this week! I love it!! Highlights/ Fun facts: - Móstoles had fiestas this week so that means the streets were packed with people and street vendors and tons of cool decorations and even fireworks on wednesday night!! I'm honestly not entirely sure what they are celebrating, but it reminded me of the fair at home and it was so fun to see so many people out and about! - My district has a funny obsession with the card game Skull King so I'm getting pretty good at it 😅 - We had some funny experiences with the buses this week because they had some modified schedules due to the fiestas! We did get stuck in a pueblito (small town outside of the city), but thankfully a bus ended up coming and we made it home!  - We ...

Hola mis amigos!! Another great week here in Móstoles and the work keeps moving forward! We officially started the transfer this week, and I'm super excited to keep loving the people here in Móstoles because they truly are the BEST! I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here serving the Lord and growing my relationship with Him!  Highlights/ Fun facts: - Last pday we went to Madrid and ate some all you can eat sushi which was delicious!! 😋 We did forget that we had a member meal that night so let's just say it was a miracle I didn't explode after everything we ate that day 😅 - Everyone told me that August was a slow time to come to Madrid because everyone is on vacations, but when I got here I was surprised because there were still a decent amount of people. Well, we officially started September and now I know what they meant haha There are triple the amount of people in the streets and it seems like it happened over night, but it's super fun! - We had a birthday...

Hola mis amigos!!! Well I've officially finished my first transfer in the mission field, and it has been amazing!! There have definitely been some highs and lows, but I am so grateful every day for the opportunity to be here serving the Lord and to be able to love and serve the people here in Spain! Also, we found out plans for next transfer and I am staying here in Móstoles with my trainer Hermana Hunsaker! I am so excited to continue serving in this wondferful place and learning more every day! Highlights/Fun facts: - Whenever we greet anyone here we give two besitos (kisses) on both cheeks which is super sweet with all the Hermanas (sisters) we meet, but we aren't allowed to do besitos with any hermanos (brothers). Let's just say that has made for some funny interactions when we have to swerve them with a handshake 😂 - we have an opera singer who lives above us and sometimes we get little moments of being serenaded which is awesome!! - Everyone stays out suuuuper late h...
