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 šŸ˜­ 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 the four of us the quad sang "What Child is This?" for the musical number which was soo fun!!
- We had our friend Brittany's baptism this Saturday and she was so cute!! She was just smiling so much as she got out of the font and she gave the cutest testimony!!

Miracle: 

We met with a guy named Leafar this week over videocall and he was someone who responded to my Facebook post about English class and he said he was interested in the church too!! We started teaching him and he is so amazing!! Then he left the screen for a minute and came back with a book of mormon!! He was so excited to show us that some missionaries had given it to him in his country before he came here!! We were so surprised and excited! This was such a reminder to me that as missionaries we are always planting seeds and even though we don't always see the fruits, they will come!

Spiritual thought: 

This has honestly been a hard week for me in feeling animated to do the work, but I have come to truly appreciate my Savior and His atonement! As we lean on Him, He can strengthen us and give us grace when we fall šŸ˜

I invite you all in this Christmas season to learn a little bit more about our Savior and His atonement! I promise as you turn to Him, his grace has the power to hold us up and give us the strength to move forward with hope and JOY!! 

I love you all so much!! Please reach out I love hearing from you!!

2 Months in the Mission!!

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...

Hola mis queridos amigos!! šŸ„³šŸŽ† Feliz aƱo 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 šŸ’› 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!
