PUPUSAS & CONSECRATION | 6.17.19

another killer week over here in Oak Cliff!!!                                                                                                                              
HAPPENINGS:

- we learned how to make pupusas with our friend Conchita!!! ah this was a very good time!!! this has been a goal for a long time coming haha finally
- got chased by a HUGE dog in the middle of the city!!! Luckily the gente aqui is so cool and we met a cool friend who talked to us after she watched us get pursued by said dog and offered to run it over for us hahaha. I love this city. 
- meeting Noel!! this was seriously so sweet. we were sitting in a rec center to study for a lil and this guy comes up to us, pulls up a chair, and says: "talk to me"
we were able to testify and teach simply and powerfully. It made me super happy to see how eager people are to learn about Jesus. I luv Texas :)

a focus I had this week learning CONSECRATION. I had a special focus on being as dedicated as possible. it was a really subtle shift but it was really special seeing the little miracles that I was able to see in my life as I dedicated myself and my will to Heavenly Father. 

we also had interviews with the Mission President. Super special time, and I was grateful for the counsel I recieved from him. During my interview I was hit really hard by the reality and infinite power the Savior's atonement can have in each of our lives. No matter what situation weare in, he WILL help us. 

as there is one spark of the will to repent and to reach, he is there. He did not just descend to your condition; he descended below it, ‘that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth.

Sorry for the short email. Love you all!!! 

les mando un abrazo!!!

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...
