Hola mis queridos amigos!!  This week has been the longest and shortest weeks of my life!! I said goodbye to my beloved Móstoles on Monday and on Tuesday I took a 5 hour bus ride with my travel comp Hermana Maughn to PAMPLONA!!! I also met my new comp Hermana Barrott and she is absolutely amazing!! We are SUPER similar so we have a lot of fun and we are ready work super hard so I'm soo excited for this transfer! We also live in a quad so we are roommates with another set of Hermanas (hna Dickey and hna Amado) and they are amazing!! I think I have laughed more in the past week than I ever have and I love it! Pamplona is absolutely beautiful and we have some really wonderful friends we are teaching and I just feel SO BLESSED to be here 💛 Highlights/ Fun facts: - We taught our friend Nieves before English class on Thursday and our bestie Milagros from the ward helped us out and it was amazing!! Nieves is super prepared and she was giving so many amazing insights as we were teaching h...

Hola mis queridos amigos!! As you could probably guess from the title, we received transfer news this week and I am leaving Móstoles 😢 I am so sad to be leaving this place and these people that I have grown to love soo much, but I am excited for the change and the opportunity to grow that I will have in... PAMPLONA!! Thats right, I'm going up North and I'm super excited!! My new companion, Hermana Barrot, was actually companions with Hermana Haslam in the MTC so I'm super excited to get to know her and serve together 😍 Highlights/ Fun facts: - Last pday we had th chance to go up to Segovia which is a super pretty, old city here in Spain with our district!! It was so beautiful and I am just so grateful to be serving in this beautiful country! - A lot of our friends that we are teaching live out in pueblos that we take a bus to get out to, so this week we ended up going out to at least 3 different pueblos and it was so fun! They are all so beautiful and it always so nice ...

  Hola mis queridos amigos!!  This week was honestly one of my hardest and one of my best weeks yet which sounds crazy I know but welcome to the life of a missionary!! We had some friends that I love sooo much take some tough steps back this week,  and we had some of our friends make the best  decision ever to be baptized so it's safe to say this week was nothing short of a rollercoaster 😀  Through it all, I consistently felt the support of my Savior holding me up because I definitely needed Him 💛 Highlights/ Fun Facts: - We went to our friend Ana's house this week and we were able to serve her a bunch which made me super happy! She also taught us how to make her arroz con leche which is soo good!! - We went out to visit our friend Gael this week who has been taking the lessons for the last year, and we have been trying to help him feel prepared for baptism for a long time! This time I just looked him in the eyes and asked if he wanted to be baptized, and he s...

Hola mis queridos amigos!!  First of all, I want to let you all know that here in Madrid we have not been affected by the flooding that is going on in Valencia and Barcelona, but we would appreciate your prayers for all of our fellow missionaries and friends in Spain who are suffering right now because of it! They are truly going through so much and it breaks my heart to hear about it. Other than the sad news about what the people in Spain are going through, I had a pretty amazing week! There are a lot of ups and downs in missionary work, but something I am learning is there is always joy to be found in Jesus Christ and His gospel 😊 Highlights/Fun facts: - Adriana's Baptism!!!! About 2 months ago we started teaching our friend Adriana, and yesterday she made the decision to be baptized! I feel so blessed to have been able to be a part of her journey and watch how she has grown and changed through the Atonement of Christ and found her testimony of Him and His gospel! It was one of ...
