"Trunky" or Treat!

Its been a lonnnnng week..but a good one! We met Jeremy and Eyvonne from Korea! They have been searching for a church and they are going to start meeting with us! Jeremy speaks veryyyy little English so it will be interesting to see how it goes, but we ordered him a Korean Book of Mormon!

Someone else who just committed to meeting with us is Heather. She is an amazing 16 year old girl who is so in tune with the Spirit. She asked a member at school if she would take her to church! She has been coming the past few weeks and asked for a Book of Mormon and to have us teach her more. She has felt the spirit at church and God has touched her heart in ways that she cannot comprehend :) 
We are planning a Mesa Visitors center trip with Alex soon so we are excited to go there again!
We had our first (of three) trunk or treats! It was a blast! 

A huge topic this week was that there are no coincidences. God really does have a plan for each of us. There is divine design behind everything that happens in our lives. I invite you all to read or listen to this talk, about this topic, from an apostle of Jesus Christ. 
I testify that the same priesthood authority that Moses used to part the sea is restored to the earth! God is the same yesterday today and forever, so of course He continues to talk to us through prophets. I love this gospel and i know it is true. Ponder and pray about it if you gave not yet received a witness.
Love you all!

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...
