My Time Has Come

Hola Everyone,


 Well my time has come as I'm heading home Wednesday. I have learned so much from my mission and I can't believe I'm done. It has been fun, hard, wonderful and so rewarding. I have learned how to love & how to feel peace ,how to take rejection, how to feel joy. 


Time goes by so fast ! I have enjoyed every single day as a missionary there was always something to smile about or laugh about. I had hard days but never bad days! 


My days were sometimes with mistakes and I didn't feel sufficient to be a disciple of Christ. I can imagine when Jesus Christ called the fisherman to follow him and to be his disciples, they may have felt the similar feelings of inadequacy. However, I know that we can be instrumental in the lords hands. All he asks of us is to have a desire to follow him and to love his children. I know that God is so aware of his children. I have seen so many miracles these past 18 months and know that he is a God of miracles!


I love the gospel it makes me so happy ! One of our friends told us that people always seem to  look for happiness outside , or in the world. He said happiness is within your soul. We find peace, joy, love within. He said it's  gratis ( free). I love this! he is so right ! 


  My mission has been a beautiful experience. Gods' love is ever perfect he loves us perfectly and will always forgive us with open arms. He never forgets his children. I'm forever  grateful that I was able to serve my brothers and sisters!!!


Love you all so much !
Hermana Green


*My homecoming will be Sunday, May 15 @ 9:00 at the Afton tabernacle. 
Hope to see ya'll soon :)

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...
