Halfway Done With The HMTC!

Hola,

 

 

I’m Halfway done with HMTC, I got my flight plans yayyy! I'm super excited to head to California! I’ll be heading out December 16 . I'm on the computer most of the day and study tons during my breaks so I'm ready to go out and teach.(hopefully) I love my MTC teachers they always make it light and fun so we don't go crazy ! Here’s a funny quote from my teacher Hermano Marcado “I had a dream that  I had the corona virus then it was Christmas and I was eating pizza.” (All this in his strong accent) 

 

 

My spanish has come a long way compared to the first day. I set small goals to improve something each day so that I don’t feel overwhelmed. Sometimes it's nothing big, but little by little I'm growing & learning.

 

 

I was so grateful to hear President Nelson's message this week! I SO needed that. I think we all did.  I'm so very grateful that today we have a modern day prophet who leads and guides us. I loved his message on how we can focus on the positive and give thanks to our Father in Heaven.President Nelson said “He has concluded that counting one's blessings is far better than recounting their problems. “No matter our situation, showing gratitude for our privileges is a unique, fast-acting, and long-lasting spiritual prescription”.

Focusing on joy and living Christ centered life brings us so much peace and comfort. Yet that is precisely the joy the Savior offers. His joy is constant, assuring us that our “afflictions shall be but a small moment” (Doctrine and Covenants 121:7) 

 

 

Love you all ,

Hermana Green

 

 

P.S. thank you to all of you that have written me I so appreciate it ! :)

Hola Amigos

Hello Everyone     This week has been awesome. We've been busy finding new friends and working in the office, I'm amazed at how we are able to accomplish our goals each week. On Saturday we received a referral and went to visit the family, however when we arrived at the apartment the man that answered the door said we had the wrong address. Of course we didn't turn away but we shared a message with him and invited him to church Sunday. We were surprised when we saw him walk in the doors Sunday. I was SO EXCITED ! I know the Lord has a plan for everyone and this young man took a leap of faith from what little he knew about the church, he felt something and wanted to learn more. It's hard sometimes to get our friends to come to church but then little miracles happen like this and I'm reminded that this is the Lord's work and our job as missionaries is to help people feel the spirit. I'm excited to teach him and help him recognize the spirit. I'll keep you ...

Hello Everyone   So many great things happened the last few weeks, First of all we had 2 baptisms last week !  Pablo got baptized and we are so happy for him! He is such a light ! He wants to serve a mission and has such a strong testimony. His baptism was scheduled for sunday but he was leaving town to go work and so we hurried and got his baptism together in 3 hours !  Then are friend Kevin was baptized by his father. His family is so humble and kind. I was so grateful to be a part of his special day.    We are teaching a really great family and they had a daughter that just turned 8 so they invited us to her party. I Love to teach these little girls. It's been so fun to watch them learn about the gospel. My companion and I made a ton of sugar cookie cut outs and used them in our lessons for the kids & they love it !  I can't get away from making cookies haha  We are also teaching a neat...

6 MONTHS!!!

Hola!     Well I'm at my 6 month mark and I can't even believe it ! Time flies when you're  having fun !!      San Jose is the place to be and I'm enjoying my new assignment. The office has been pretty great so far, very different from what I'm used to but I'm learning the ropes fast. It's amazing what the church is doing with social media these days, we are able to reach so many people this way. I've been put in charge of the instagram(Spanish page) for our mission. I also instruct other missionaries on the use of their instagram page, and help them learn how to share the gospel on social media. It's been a unique part of the mission so far! We are still teaching some great people here in San Jose and I'm excited when we get to leave the office to  go teach ! My new companion is Hermana Yoder from Boise Idaho. She's super cute ! She produces all  the spanish videos for the social media pages and I'm her sidekick :)      I LOVE bein...
