Al servicio de Dios

February 24, 2020 Well, I’m not going to lie. Saturday was probably the hardest day of my mission. It started off really well. We went to the temple with the family from Venezuela. They loved the temple so much and I could tell that they could feel the spirit really strong. Then I saw an old friend from Linares. I was confused why he was there. Linares is about three hours away- After the temple I started talking with him and catching up with him. He told me that he has terminal cancer and that he is going to die in about two weeks. He went to the hospital and the doctors said they couldn’t do anything for him so he decided to find all the missionaries that meant the most to him in his life and say goodbye. It was very hard for me to say goodbye to him. He did so much for Hermana Fazakerley and I. I said goodbye to him and he was sobbing and I was sobbing and everyone was crying because we all knew that this was goodbye. He told me how important I was to him and how I shouldn’t ever ...

February 17,2020 OK. Long story short, we have an investigator with a baptism date from the other Hermanas that were in the area before me but when we changed areas and stuff we couldn’t get in contact with them so yeah. So we have an investigator that has a baptism date who we can’t get in contact with and who we have never met before. Buuuut we finally met her this week. Her name is Augustina and I’m so excited to teach her. she has a baptism date but still needs to be taught everything so we are working really hard with her now that we know her lol. Ok story time. We see this dude walking down the street and we stop him to talk to him and ask him about the gospel and his life and where he is going. Yeah bad idea. so I’m talking to this dude right and I ask him where he is going yeah and he responds with a huge smile on his face he says TO SMOKE DRUGS OF COURSE yeah..... you go do that but first do you want to hear a message about Jesus because I think you need Jesus. it was real...

February 10, 2020 Ok so there is a vine.... a vine is like a little video... and its of the little girl yelling out the window I smell like beef. so i was quoting that and Hermana Arnold and Hermana Jackson were dying laughing and Hermana Cuyubamba was wondering what it meant so we explained it to her. Then we taught her how to say it in English and she goes to the window on her own free will, opens the door, and yells in English. I SMELL LIKE BEEF. I died. I literally died. We were crying so much from how funny it was. If you haven't seen the vine, go look it up. It’s great. Also, we heard meowing outside our door and we were really confused because we live on the 5th floor in a locked apartment building and no one has a cat. So we open the door and a CAT RUNS INTO OUT HOUSE. So Jackson and I are screaming because there is a cat in our house and Hermana Arnold and Hermana Cuyubamba have no idea what's happening because they aren't in the room and all they hear is screa...

February 3, 2020 OK so cambios! I think our sector is the city of Colloa but my zone is Andalien... something like that. There are always clouds here and it always might rain but it never does. I’m in the city so no more hour bus rides to the campo. we do tons of walking and there are lots of hills here soo rip. This area is whitewashed so yeah! that was a joke. I hate whitewashes. We have no investigators and we know no one so we are starting from scratch. Pretty much this entire week was knocking doors and running from dogs. As usual. We meet with the members a lot to get to know them and ask for references. We’ve got some family home evenings coming up. Oh my new companion is Hermana Arnold! nope not the one that eats cheesecake even though she is lactose intolerant, a different one. fun fact.... there are three Hermana Arnolds in the mission and two of them are named Abigail. this makes everything really fun and interesting during transfers. She is really great and I enjoy h...
