Hello Everyone :)

So sorry I haven't written in awhile ! I'm still serving here in Salinas and I LOVE IT SO much! best place to be in the mission for sure :) I have a new companion. Her name is Sister Johnson and she is awesome . She is from a small town in Colorado so we have so much in common and her family owns a ranch so we always talk about horses and cows ! haha


President Nelson recently gave a special devotional to all the members in California and it was so inspiring and powerful. His wife also gave an amazing talk about her and president Nelson's loving  relationship. I feel so blessed to receive guidance and counsel from a living modern day prophet. 


We are teaching some pretty great families here in Salinas. We have had some baptisms since I last wrote. I can't explain the true love I have for the people here.  watching them come out of the waters of baptism has touched my life. To be able to witness change in their lives is such a blessing. 
I know that God is real , and he hears us. As I teach the gospel, I'm amazed how he puts us in the places we need to be. I have witnessed this throughout my mission. So many times I know God puts us in the path of those who need him. 


  As a mission we finished the Book Of Mormon in 6 weeks and it was such a spiritual experience. I've learned to love this special book and I can testify of its truth.
 I encourage you all to read it daily !!
The work is going GREAT here in California. I'm truly blessed to be here. :)


Love you all so much,
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...
