The Week We Escaped the MTC

Heyyy so today is my p-day because we leave at 3:50 AM tomorrow morning!! 

The other day, my hilarious companion, Sister Hall, fell down a full flight of cement stairs.. haha like 6 or 7 steps.. and she cracked/bruised her tailbone :(
Hahaha it was really funny though! We were laughing so hard haha. Anyway, we were driven to urgent care and we ended up being gone from 6:30 til almost 10:30. We were dropped off at one urgent care place but then it wouldn't accept her health insurance so they called to have an MTC driver some pick us up and bring us to a different place. We were there, alone, missionaries out in the real world, broken free from the MTC, for an hour. Then after we were done we went to Rite Aid and heard Avril Lavinie music playing haha
So that's my long story short of how we escaped from, the MTC. 

Also.. Hurricane Harvey(?) Is going crazy in Houston.. praying for everyone! My new Elder friends here are serving in the Houston South mission and have to stay here for another week because of the flooding/storming. Pray for them to stay patient and motivated! 

Strong belief + action = faith

We have vending machines in our building with BYU Creamery ice cream so that's nice.

Houston, we have a baptism!

Hello, One last time! :') Houston was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend! It was so powerful. The spirit was tangible.  It is such a bittersweet feeling to know this is my last pday and last email. I feel so much peace and fulfillment that the last 18 months of my life have been in the service of my God.  Around 4 years ago I prayed about how I wanted to serve a mission and asked Him if that was in line with His will for me. Heavenly Father led me to a verse in Doctrine and Covenants chapter 4 that says "..if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work". This was one of the rare times where my prayer was answered specifically and written out right in front of me.  Since then, I have received many more answers to my prayers. Some answers came miraculously soon, and some took days even weeks or months. Some prayers of mine are still being answered, but I know that as I ask in faith, and do what I ...

Its P-day Again!

Hi! Soo I mentioned it Saturday, but I have been transferred! I'm in Maryvale with my MTC companion, Sister Hall. We live with two Hermanas, Cienfuegos and Robison, who also came out the same time as us! Its so fun!  Maryvale is a tad different than Northern Glendale haha. The 2 sounds you always hear are cats meowing and sirens haha.. When I told Flo, a convert in my ward, that I was being transferred to Maryvale, she looked scared, started crying, hugged me super tight and started saying a Catholic type prayer haha.. Kinda made me worried about coming down here but its really not bad, and, the Lord protects His missionaries! I haven't met too many people yet, but the ones I have met are so generous and kind! We spent Thanksgiving with the Floyd's and their friends and family! They were also super kind to us and made us feel like family.  The sealing I went to was a sealing for Jenna and William Schwartz. This is a ordinance, performed in the temple, of celest...

Roadtrip!

Heyy!! I'm emailing today because its transfer week so P-day is on Tuesdays every 6 weeks. So this was the longest week but so jam packed busy. Let's start with sad news so that we have a happy ending haha.. soo we lost our favorite ward, Sonoran Mountain, with all our progressing investigators, who we love so much, and our family away from home, the Zamarrons :( There were ward boundary and building changes. So, since transfers are this week, they fixed it all up and we got transferred out of that ward. But, we still have our 2 other great wards, and new ward, Arrowhead ranch (which actually has a lot of members we already know because the ward boundaries changed between them and Sierra Verde).  ANYWAY, I feel comfort and peace about this whole situation and... drum roll please, SISTER KNOX IS AN STL (sister training leader)!! I'm so pumped for her. She is so humble and loving and is such a wonderful example and trainer and leader. Knox rocks.  Ok so ROADTRIP TO...
