CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT VSCO GIRL MEANS | 10.7.19

VSCOGIRL
I told a young girl I liked her scrunchie and she simply replied by saying a jumble of words, none of which I understood. finally, she simply said "I'm a VSCOgirl" and I asked her what that meant and she just looked at me like I was crazy I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE YOUTHS ARE INTO THESE DAYS SO NATURALLY i asked a cool joven in our ward and she explained to me that it is a type of aesthetic?like wearing scrunchies and looking trendy? anyway, any further insight on this subject would be appreciated bc I am so confused. 


PRIESTHOOD
i learned a lot about the Priesthood this week, and it really blew my mind. God loves us and has literally provided us divinely ordained channels of letting His ability flow to us. HOW ASTONISHING. 
i could go on and on but well I frankly do not have time :( read alma 13 and doctrine and covenants section 121 if you want to learn a lil more. also it was really sweet when President Nelson gave a sweet talk on women and the priesthood in the Women's session which made for a nice wrap up of my study sesh of the topic. God loves us or something I guess!!!!


EXCHANGES...
with Hermana Lata. She is a cool gal. We exchange stickers and she graffitied on my desk when I wasn't looking (not cool) But I learned from her specifically how to share the psych of missionarywork with membersss!! Also she has officially bequeathed to me her koala blanket before she leaves so I am so happy and grateful. 


SPIRITUAL GROWTH (re: tamales,
Salvador, Hondurañean food, etc.)
an amazing General conference. I could tell so much more but just go on comeuntochrist.org and take a peek. I specifically loved Elder Gerrit W. Gong's talk and all the Women's session. 
Iam excited to understand it better and study and everything :D yay

Ilove you all!! sorry for a lame shortie email. keep in touch please! the mission is going too fast but it is altogether loads of growth and fun over here in Garland with Hermana Huerta!! 


con muuuucho cariño.

¡hermanita ras!

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...
