Semana 33: Boring Email Don't Read

Helloooo everyone!! I hope you are all having a phenomenal week and enjoyed watching general conference! I watched all of it in Spanish and I could actually understand 100% of everything that was said!


The most famous goose

"todos somos güeros porque a dentro tenemos almas blancas" 

-Hermana Martina 

Speaking of Hermana Martina, she openly said that I was her favorite between myself and my companion. Hahah



I translated my patriarchal blessing into Spanish so that was cool.



We were supposed to have 5 baptisms this week but due to the classic "can't keep commitments" problem here in Mexico, we had to push them all back... far

New Covid Guidelines for tracting

We were teaching a lesson to a family outside of their house on the street when these two gangs of men showed up and just started going at it. Fists were being thrown, one guy got curb stomped (I hope he didn't die), and finally one of the gang members pulled out a pistol and everyone separated. Since that happened like 50 feet away from us, my comp and I both agreed to cut the lesson short and dip out of there. 

I always want to remember this sticker

For the longest time, the Mexican missionaries could "harass" me a little bit because I couldn't understand them and they would get a kick out of it. Oh how the tables have turned because now I know just about all of their sneaky tricks and sly comments so they can't say anything anymore. So now I just respond to whatever they say in English. Don't worry it is all out of love :)

This picture was taken seconds before her sucker fell to the ground

I just wanted to remind you to continue following the example of Jesus Christ and love/be kind to everyone. If someone has hurt or offended you, keep high confidences in them, you have no idea what they are going through and the source of their trials. We never want to be the one mocking, laughing, gossiping and teasing when Christ is on the other side weeping for this person and anxiously awaiting to help them. Be Christlike at all times and in all places :)

Semana One: Welcome Everybody! (August 26, 2020)

Image
Hola amigos y familia!!! WOW!!  This week has been so incredible and incredibly long haha! But I have loved every second of it. Last Wednesday I started the at home MTC experience and I mean it when I say it, it has completely changed my life. It's so crazy how in such a short amount of time my attitude towards EVERYTHING has changed tremendously. Not gonna lie, I was a little bitter and upset about doing the at home MTC initially, but it is seriously so much fun!  My district is so money and we have the best teachers! Hermana Mejia and Hermano Gallegos. My district is straight "GOAT"ed and I love every single one of them! We have learned so much together as a district and our español is definitely improving. After just one week at the MTC I've been able to say my prayers in Spanish, bear my testimony, and memorize some scriptures! I guess you can say it's coming along well! It has definitely been hard adjusting to the new missionary life and saying goodbye to the

Semana 81: Make Love, Not War

Image
The title comes from a Mexican missionary shouting, "Make Love!! Not War!!" in a district council. Just about all of our district speaks English so when he made that error, we all dropped to the floor laughing. I guess that's one way to solve the crisis happening in Ukraine right now.  Hermana Sedgwick I went on exchanges with the stud Elder Robertson!! He was the Canadian missionary in my MTC district and one of our best zone leaders. It was so fun! Familia Mota We were at our recent converts house. He was feeling pretty sick so we walked him over to his bed. We were talking to his daughters and his wife when all of a sudden we heard this loud bang on the floor. We looked over and it was our convert that had fallen off the bed. He had a seizure which caused him to fall off the bed and smacked his face so hard on the cement floor that he was unconscious. We all freaked out and lifted him up onto the bed. He was snoring and breathing really heavily but he would not wake up

Semana 18: ITS CHRISTMAS TIME BABYYYYY

Image
Hellooooo everybody! I hope y'all are staying safe out there and partying hard. Christmas season is the BEST out here on the mish because so many more hearts are open and receptive to the message of the restored gospel. We have seen so many miracles here in Norwich and in the Syracuse Mission. Boy this week was a longgggg one and a great one. I am so beyond blessed to be here during these exciting times!  Before the Nor'easter And After.....this AZ boy is like, whoa!!! So it turns out one of our friends, Barbara, lives outside of our area. We had to refer her off which was such a sad day because she was so sweet and loving. We gave her a call and broke the sad news to her and she was very understanding. But before we hung up, she started serenading us to some Christian hymn and it was really sweet. A little off tune, but hey I don't blame her because I can't carry a tune myself. We had to mute the phone for some of it because we were laughing so hard that this 80 year o
