loving Garland. It's so so trippy that my first transfer is almost over!! Been a resident of Texas for more than a month ?!?!

if you are a human/ are interesting in making your life better please check out the recordings and/or transcripts of the recent General Conference from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!! It instilled in me a large dose of: perspective, hype, desire to improve, clarity, and answers. Here are my favorite talks, if you want to check out some particularly stellar speeches: 
Saturday morning- Ronald A. Rasband, David A. Bednar. 
Saturday Afternoon- D. Todd Christoffersen, Gerrit W. Gong (wow, this one was really special)
Women's Session- President Russell M. Nelson
Sunday Morning- Jeffrey R. Holland
Sunday Afternoon- basically every single talk was influential to me. Robert G. Gay and Dale G. Renlund though, too. 

Jesus Christ is my focus, guide, example, Savior, healer, enabler, and more. I am grateful for this sacred mission season to focus on Jesus Christ and help others come unto Him and receive power, perspective, and guidance. This is a time to minister, to heal, and to help. I have started to understand just a tiny portion of the love God, our Heavenly Father, feels for us-- because He has entrusted me with a portion of that Love for the special people I get to teach and talk to every day here. 

I still am trying to figure out this missionary gig and have many many imperfections and things I can work on, but I know that this is a work of rejoicing, progression, diversity, unity, sanctification, support... a few of the words that cropped into my mind while listening to the words of our prophet. 

Sorry for the brief email this week, long story short my zone is playing basketball right now and I would rather be playing than typing!!! 
Peace out my homies!!! climb some rocks for ya girl!
send me photos of your life!! please I'm begging u!!! 

this is the location of my residence :~)

NEVER CEASE STRIVING UNTIL YOU SEE THE FACE OF GOD | 9.30.19

Hello, such a rejuvenating and powerful week!! I am grateful for  -Hermana Huerta -the city of Garland - People from Monterrey -the fantastic members of this ward I get to be surrounded by -biiiiig skies and yummy clouds -tamales -thrift stores and learning to budget -my basket on my bike -friends - making everyday comparisons to the Gospel - the ability to run  - and much more!! I am glad to be in a time of my life when gratitude lists are extremely easy to formulate! ASTONISHING BBQ WITH GREAT FOLKS I ate Texas Barbeque for the first time of my mission this week, and it was an excellent experience! We were invited by our excellent English Class teacher, Brother Blaney (the same Brother Blaney who printed us John Wayne posters to put in our apartments) and were able to go with a lovely older couple from San Luis. We shared our reasons for being on our missions and a warm happy feeling was felt! It was very sweet and the brisket was deliciou...

WILL WE SURVIVE THE ABUELITAS?!!? | 9.17.18

Buenos dias mis amigos!! Another killer week here in Garland. Hermana Casper's mom asked if the honeymoon phase of our companionship has ended yet, NOPE still best of friends. I love my companion so much sometimes when we are separated for like a few seconds (like when she plays the hymns in sacrament meeting) I get sad because I miss her haha. i am content so many funny things happened this week. STUFF THAT I LEARNED At least as a missionary, the spirit is most of the time the same thing as your thoughts. A lot of people and missionaries talk about guidance from the spirit as being some slightly mystical, magnetic force that guides them. It's not like that, at least for me. I have seen multiple miracles this week (knocking on a door of a stranger and all 3 of us ending up in happy tears, finding a random 20 y/o who is way stoked on the gospel when we decided to knock on a completely random door, running into people at the grocery store who my companion has been ...

WEEK 2! | 8.24.18

Talofa mis amigos!!! Still doin just gr8 over here at the MTC. It is actually a very special place!!! It's like an uplifting cosmopolitan melting pot with mediocre food!!! I am in a branch with almost all international kids because we all already know English and the language we will be speaking on our missions. It has been one of my favorite parts about the MTC so far actually which I am super grateful for because I was initially kind of bummed about not being in a Spanish learning district like I was expecting to be in (basically all my classes are in English but I'll still be speaking Spanish once I get to Dallas). I'm meeting the coolest and most interesting people ever i love them a lot. There are people in my branch from Albania, Brazil, Samoa, Mexico, Colombia, Ukraine/Canada, and more. They have such cool stories and are really inspiring and amazing people. I think missionary work is so cool because these super young people are so inspiring to me!!! I've bee...
