Social Media Blessings

Hey Everyone,

 

 

It's been a little bit I'll fill ya in on my last few weeks here in California. So i've been checking out this little mexican tienda (store) all week and finally on pday my companion and I Went to check it out. The cute lady who worked at the store was super helpful and sweet, she mentioned she has talked with the missionaries before and had the gospel library on her old phone and wanted us to help her get it all back on her new phone. She also asked us to help her change all her settings to spanish. Little small miracles like this happen daily for us, we were able to help her using our knowledge of simple technology. She told us she loves to read the bible and was sad she was missing the scriptures on her phone, and was so grateful we came in and helped her. Even while we were shopping we got to share the gospel! We can all be missionaries! Everyday we have the opportunity to help others and if we pray for these experiences the Lord can lead you to those who need you.

 

 

I'm still doing the spanish instagram through social media, I'm constantly coming up with new content for it, we are prayerful that someone might reach out to the missionaries or ask us questions. We hear from people all over the world.I've been able to chat with a lady from Bogota Colombia who is very interested in learning more about the gospel. An Elder from my last area returned to Colombia recently and turns out he lives right down the street from her ! That is not a coincidence !!That is definitely the Lord's hand in his work !

 

 

Some little crazy things have happened this week like our car broke down, our bathroom  flooded, then our kitchen dishwasher broke and flooded the kitchen so we've had this really powerful fan dry out our apartment. haha could be worse right !?  Zone conference this week was awesome and always uplifting, plus helps us get going again ! 

 

 

My district is awesome. We take turns making dinner so for my turn I made  chicken tacos for everyone and my grandma's famous mexican rice!  It didn't taste quite like grandma's  rice but nobody knew that except  me ! haha 

 

 

A scripture I like to share this week is 1 Corinthians 16:14 "Let all your things be done with charity" I've learned to love and serve everyone even those who doubt or don't believe in my faith and that's what Christ would have us do ! Love ALL & Serve ALL.

 WE ARE ALL HIS CHILDREN . 

 

 

Have a wonderful week:)

Love ,

Hermana Green

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 ...

2 Baptisms & Christmas!

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...
