Miracles :)

Hola!

 

 

This week has been great lots of little miracles. One thing I have learned on my mission is that if we look for the good every day we can  be happy, When we make the bad moments into happy times is when we grow and learn the most. For example we had some lessons lined up and they all fell through. Nobody was home and we felt SO bummed. However we ended up meeting some cool people on the street that evening and also found a cherry tree! :) I was trying to jump to grab some with no success. My comp helped pull me up to get some off a tree and we enjoyed the sweet cherries. We turned the evening into a positive experience. Missionary work is full of ups and downs yet if we just keep positive we can accomplish so much more. I'm grateful for these experiences. It has helped me to always remember to stay positive even when it's hard and trust me it gets hard ! haha

 

 

Another cool experience  this week was the Book Of Mormon experiment. We just walked up to random people on the street and asked if they would read a verse in the BOM. I had lots of people tell me I was crazy....lots of people. We did however meet 2 people Jose & Gracie who said this was so awesome and Gracie said she needed a reminder about Christ & wanted to work on her faith. Crazy conversation to have with someone on the street that you just met. I loved this experience. I love sharing my testimony of the Book Of Mormon, and I especially love when others feel the love God has for them ! never in my wildest dreams would I  ever think I'd be  walking up to strangers asking them to read some verses in the Book Of Mormon in Spanish haha I love it !!! 

 

 

  I'm still in the office in the social media  district. I'm currently working on creating ads now & learning how to use Adobe Illustrator. It's been so fun. I'm learning so much, The church is really using social media to share the gospel. We meet often with the mission president and discuss ways we can reach people, I feel blessed to have this very unique experience. Our mission is doing a pilot program with us and we are trying to help produce context for the church website so It's really exciting to be a part of it. 

 

 

 One thought I'd like to share with you is from our recent stake conference. We talked about how Christ's Atonement is infinite; we are never out of his reach; there is nothing that we can do that the Savior can't heal. During the Book of Mormon experiment we talked to one girl who told us she feels like she can't be forgiven. How sad it is for her to think she can't be forgiven, many people believe this and that's exactly what satan wants us to believe. We CAN be forgiven. We are not perfect but Christ and Heavenly Father have a perfect love for us. 

 

 

Love you all,

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...
