"You're Too Sick to Die"

That quote was from an old man at church when he asked "how are you?" And i said, as I coughed, "Im dying" and he said i was too sick to die.

Sooo I've been sick since last Monday night haha.. being sick on the mission is rough because you're used to being busy 24/7 so laying in bed for 75% of the day for 6 days is not fun. Luckily the members are amazing and have been taking good care of me. The bishop gave us a humidifier, and 4 members have given me tissues and medicine :) 
We have kept busy by listening to conference talks, sister Mathews started crocheting a blanket. I made a dream catcher out of a hanger, and some other little things haha.. we have watched practically every video ever made by the church. And i did a lot of sleeping.
We had 2 dinners on Thursday and the second one, we saw the elders at dinner too at the restaurant we were at! 

At district meeting i was supposed to lead a discussion, so i wrote a script and sister mathews read it as i wrote things on the board, because i lost my voice! There was a couple decorating the church for their ring ceremony and reception while we were there for district meeting hah so that explains the picture i sent this morning.

We also sang in relief society in one of our wards yesterday so I drank honey (which makes me gag) so that I could sing.

Oh yeah and Sister Mathews cut my hair! It was very similar to that scene in Napoleon Dynamite when Pedro comes home and is hot and shaves his head. Haha

Well I'm still sick and tired but getting better! Thanks for the prayers. Love y'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!

Image
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...
