SPONSORED RUNNERS | 8.19.19

Today is
TREAT YO SELF 2019
Aka gr8 n spacious bldg jk 
My compa and I (aka the Gal Gals) (bc we are gals going shopping at the Galleria XD) (sidenote: our real companionship nickname is *~The twin towers~☆) are hitting up the Galleria. A very large, nice mall in our zone 

I love Hermana Lindsey Moorehead bc she somehow procured a Galleria map and we proceeded to INTRICATELY plan out this outing. missions teach us to plan effectively to maximize EFFICIENcy&fun, boys!! 

THIS WEEK...
- we were gifted 2 men's Vans shirts today while we were running #sponsored #milagros #winning 
This is why you compliment old Vietnamese men on their shirts while you run
- I hit one year as a missionary! Feels really special being here in Garland during this milestone. Kind of feels like my mission journey has allowed me to travel in a huge circle. After one year of this refining, purifying experience, I seem to have found myself exactly back where I have started, but with just a bit more intelligence, understanding, Spanish abilities, love for these humans, etc. Etc. Plus it kind of feels like coming back to a second home. Just cancer crab things. Dope. 
- talked to EVERYONE with sincere love and esmero. I am learning to treasure the spontaneity of missionary work. 
- celebrated my year mark by inhaling mass quantities of delicious Korean food. If you ever find urself in Garland, TX you MUST hit up Joy's Kitchen on Buckingham... the best $9.75 you will ever spend, with unlimited purple rice, water, sweet rice tea, and kimchi to boot! 
- almost memorized "Satisfied" from Hamilton. We will get there so soon.
- swung by some of my faaaavvvv people we used to teach and will start teaching some again!! I feel milagros in the air. 
- purchased some DOPE SHADES FOR RIDING AND DRIVing that have greatly upped our selfie game (see attatched pics) 
- cooked up a literal storm. Details would take too long, email me for a voice fecording of specifics if you would like. Hermana Sagers inspired  flaxseed corn tortillas and homemade salsa are involved. 
- recieved the best groovy tunes of my life from a best friend. Fyi, pretty sure my love language is: music. Makes me v happy. 
Oh another sidenote: my compa SINGS LIKE A LITERAL (not metaphorical) ANGEL SO we have started singing in almost every lesson, and I have started to tote my uke around

Hmmm que más....
Well, the atonement of Jesus Christ is reall and has enabled me día tras día en la misión. 
A talk that changed my view on Life and the Atonement: 
Hope through the Atonement of Jesus Christ

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...
