End of an Era


Hola mis queridos amigos!! 

We had a super crazy week with a bunch of miracles and it was amazing!! We also got transfer news this week, and Hermana Hunsaker is leaving me for the Canary Islands 😢 It is definitely really sad to see her go, but I am excited to have a new transfer here in Móstoles with my new comp Hermana Haslam!!

Highlights/ fun facts:

- It is officially fall here in Spain and it's definitely sweater weather!! It was raining at the start of the week, but we had planned to heart attack some of our members and friends, so we got our umbrellas and went out anyways! We were actually super blessed because we were able to get into all the apartment building without any of them finding us out!
- We had a lesson with our amazing friend Luisa and she accepted a date to be baptized!! She is so amazing and I am so excited for her! 
- We met with our friend Adriana twice this week and on Friday we met in a beautiful park and she accepted the invitation to be baptized! I love her so much!!
- This Saturday we celebrated the Día de Hispanidad with a ward party and it was AMAZING!! Everyone brought traditional food and performed dances and it was super cool to see all of the different culture! We even had a table for the US with all four missionaries with brownies and biscuits and gravy, AND we did a dance to the cotton eyed joe!! It was awesome!! 

Miracle: 

This week we had a friend named Leudi come to church for the first time, and it was our first time meeting her as well. She loved relief society, and then we went to have a quick lesson after church! We had forgotten to bring another Book of Mormon to give to her, but when we walked into the room on the opposite side of the building that we normally go, there was a Book of Mormon sitting on the chairs in the room that we had left there a long time ago and we were able to give it to her and she said she was going to start reading it!! It was so awesome! 

Spiritual Thought: 

I was reading this week about the Lamanites in the Book of Mormon that were truly converted and became the Anti- Nephi- Lehites. It hit me today that there is a real difference between believing in Jesus and truly converting to Him! These people were truly converted to Jesus Christ, and I just realized that conversion is real! My goal here is to help people (including myself) become truly converted to Christ because He is the way we find the most joy and peace in our life 💛

I love you all soo much!! Feel free to reach out any time, I love hearing from you!

Hermana Hardy 💛

We Three Queens

Hola mis queridos amigos!!  I hope you're all doing well! This week was probably one of the craziest and hardest weeks of my mission so far, but I know God gives us trials and changes to help us grow so I'm really trusting in Him right now! We received news on Tuesday during interviews that my companion Hermana Barrott is getting transferred mid transfer and she's leaving me 😭  I've been on the verge of tears all week, and I am just going to miss her so much!! I'm going to be a trio with Hermana Dickey and Amado though so I'm super excited for that!! TRIO TIME!! Highlights/ Fun facts: - We had zone p-day in Bilbao this Monday and it was so fun!! We all got matching sweaters as a district and it was so fun! We also did a white elephant exchange and a gingerbread house making competition and the matrimonios made us a delicious Christmas dinner which was so fun!! - We also had zone conference on Tuesday which was amazing!! I always love the trainings we get and th...

2 Months in the Mission!!

Image
Hola mis amigos!! I have officially been on my mission for 2 months this week, and I can't believe I'm already here! Adjusting to being a missionary is not an easy thing all the time. There are moments when I feel inadequate or lost with the Spanish or super tired or hot (it's literally so hot here haha) BUT I can promise that the joy of sharing the light of Jesus Christ outweighs it all! Jesus Christ and His atonement are what keeps me going, and I know with them I can face any challenge that are sure to come my way on my mission and in my life!  This week was full of so many miracles, and I can just promise that God is in charge of this work! He uses imperfect servants like me to complete His magnificent work, and I am just filled with Joy to be a part of it! We started off the week going to Madrid for Zone conference where I got to see some of my besties from the MTC and meet a bunch of missionaries which was awesome! We also had some great trainings that were super appl...

Feliz Año Nuevoo

Hola mis queridos amigos!! 🥳🎆 Feliz año nuevo (happy new year)!! I can't believe it's already 2025!! As I was reflecting on this year I realized that I have been a missionary for half of 2024 and it is amazing!! The time has truly flown by which kind of scares me that the rest of my mission will do the same, but I am truly so grateful for every moment so far on my mission and the people I have been able to meet and serve and love! Being a missionary is not always easy, but it is truly the most fulfilling and joyfilled work anyone could ever do and I am so excited to spend 2025 continuing to serve the people of Spain 💛 Highlights/ Fun facts: - This week my companions and I have really been focusing on talking to as many people as we can during our travels because between balancing lessons with friends from both areas and also trying to work with the JAs (young adults) we don't have a ton of time in our schedule to focus on finding, and we have seen so many miracles!
