Week 3 9/27/23

Hey everyone!

I feel like I just barely wrote my last email, but don't even worry I've still got plenty to write about! 


Literally the most insane thing happened, after a crazy turn of events, my awesome companion got asked to share her and her family's conversion story in the CCM presidency's meeting. So on Monday we went and she shared her story with all of the presidency and their wives, while I just sat there looking pretty haha. But she absolutely killed it, she even got the President of the CCM to cry cause the spirit was SO strong! I'm seriously so grateful for her and her example to me! But I am a little nervous, cause now we're a little too close to the "big dogs" as they called themself hahah. So hopefully we can just lay low for the rest of our time here. 


Some highlights+photos:

  • Tienda runs are absolute lifesavers






  • Élder Archunde letting his dawg's cook on the pickleball court. We were undefeated though, so I guess it worked

We got to go do baptisms at the Mexico City Temple! It really is such a pretty temple, and the spirit was so strong! Plus I memorized the First vision in Spanish on the bus ride which was sick


  • Hermana Karren and I's really cute gym fits


  • The one day I actually did my hair this week, so of course we had to document it


  • "niños"



Spiritual thought:

This week our district really focused on being united in Christ, so in my personal study one day I read the talk, One in Christ, by Elder D. Todd Christopherson in last April's general conference. The whole talk is so good so go read it! But I especially liked the line,

  •  "And I suppose an even more perfect unity would obtain among us if we followed the Savior’s higher and holier expression of this second commandment—to love one another not only as we love ourselves but as He loved us."

He loved us perfectly, so much so that He was willing to suffer and die for us. If we could love each other even half as much I know the world would be a whole lot more united. So I challenge you guys to try to follow this "higher and holier expession" and pray to love someone as much as He loves you!


Also, make sure to watch general conference this weekend!! We really are so blessed to have modern day prophets! I promise all of you that if you go into it with questions and a prayer in your heart, you'll be able to hear Him speak to you!


I love and miss you all so much!

Holaa todos! So sorry I had no time to write an email last week so here's just a quick update on the last little bit! Played soccer for p-day for the first time in my mission.

Plus I got to see my bestie Hermana Jensen! We're still praying for the day we get to be comps! LIDIA GOT BAPTIZED!!

Hola everyone!! This weekend was seriously full of miracles!! Friday night we went to visit Nadia and Miguel (our recent converts) and Miguel's son was there! They had been telling him about the plan of salvation, and he wanted to know more! So we taught him all about God's plan for us, and it went so good!! Then the next night we went to visit them again and another one of Nadia's sons was there!! I literally had Deja Vu. We taught him all about the plan of salvation and how we're here to be happy! He said he's gonna come to church next week with Nadia!! Literally loco!!  And the biggest miracle of all!!! ANA AND GABI'S PAPERS CAME!!! Ana and Gabi are our friends who have been waiting for months for Ana's birth certificate to come so that they can get married and get baptized! Gabi is the older brother of Luis, who starts his mission next monday, so we've been praying that the papers would come before Luis leaves. But not gonna lie, we were starting to ...
