Hello

Hello everyone ! These past couple of weeks have been super busy. Transfers happened this week and I'm getting a new companion Hermana Luca , I'm super excited to start working with her. I will be staying in the office in the social media district. We will be covering 2 wards now so we'll be busy busy. Our area we cover is much bigger now which just means more people to find !


 Lots of miracles have happened this week. We met a cool guy named Alfonso while at the park. We sat at his table and started to talk with him about life and some of his challenges. We  had a great conversation with him and he just started to cry. It was such a neat experience for us to just share our faith in Christ and that's exactly what united us. The spirit was so strong as we spoke with him.  Turns out he told us he had met with the missionaries before in this exact table. We really just listened to his story and sometimes that's what people need , just to know that someone cares. I myself was so touched I was teary eyed ! Strangers crying together really should happen more often ! God has perfect timing and puts us exactly where we need to be to help others. I have had soooo many experiences where I have seen this. Everyday I get to be his hand and I'm so grateful to get to be a small part in the big picture. 


I have loved the opportunity I have to serve in the social media district . We have started a series called questions within. We travel around our mission  area and video members' testimonies and we get to listen to their stories and hardships that many of them have faced. We take these video interviews back to the office and compile them & edit them.  I love to share these beautiful stories with the world through social media. It's been such a growing experience for me to interview and document all these wonderful testimonies . The other day we traveled down south of our mission and we filmed some spanish members and they wanted to share their testimonies in their native dialect .It was SO beautiful to listen to them speak. I just loved it so much. It's amazing to me that even tho I couldn't quite understand some of their dialect I could still feel the spirit testifying, it was so powerful and sincere. 


I hope you all have a wonderful week and remember to be kind to those you meet , you never know what trails they are going through. Open your hearts & listen.


love you all,
 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 ...

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.

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...
