Hola!! These last few weeks have flown by!

I HIT 9 MONTHS!! I still can't believe that I'm halfway done, somehow it feels like I've been here for ages and like I just got here yesterday. But I am seriously so grateful for the mission, I have learned more, and met more amazing people than I ever imagined I would! And I can't wait for the next 9 months!


Anyways, it's been a minute and all the weeks blur together so here's some quick recaps from the last little bit!


Zone conference!!

Federico and Deniss invited us over for lunch last minute!! They've become our parents here in Sion🫶 Pray for their papers to come in so they can get married and Federico can get baptized!🙏

We're blessed to have a bunch of hermanas ready to help us! 

ANGELO GOT BAPTISED!! 

Angelo is good friends with a couple of members in the ward!! One of them gave him a Book of Mormon a few years ago (Diego), and the other is serving a mission in Chile right now (Elder Carvalho)! Right before transfers the elders started talking to him at his work, and he told them about his friend on the mission! They had one lesson with him and then got shipped off to other areas✌️

We got here and coordinated a lesson with Angelo and the family of Elder Carvahlo, who then asked permission to participate in the lesson through video call! Elder Carvalho invited him with a fuego testimony to get baptized and he said yes!! 

Fast forward 2 weeks, a whole lot of lessons with the Carvalho family, and a whole lot of prayers, Diego, the friend who first gave him the Book of Mormon, was able to baptize him!! 

Today we met up to eat with the district! 


If these last few weeks have taught me anything, it's that God really does have a plan for us. I have seen so many miracles, big and small, and have learned that faith really can move mountains!

One quick example:

Today we went to the terminal to buy tickets to have intercambios this week. Long story short, just about everything went wrong. When we finally figured it all out, we went to the bus stop to go back to our area and waited for the bus to come. And waited, and waited, and waited. I was getting frustrated because I just wanted to go work, and there are only so many people to message😅 After a good 45 minutes, the bus finally shows up, we get on and start our 30 minute bus ride home. After a few minutes another lady got on, but had forgotten her bus pass. We offered to pay for her, and she was able to get on and ride home! As small and simple as that was, the thought came to me, “if we weren't on this bus right now, we wouldn't have been able to serve her”. I really do know that God knows and loves us, and that if we look for Him, we can find him in every part of our lives!


Love and miss you all!! Have a great week!

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. I may have gotten a little bit competitive!  Had Zone conference!! It was so good! We talked all about becoming/helping others become lifelong disciples of Christ! Plus I got to see my bestie Hermana Jensen! We're still praying for the day we get to be comps! LIDIA GOT BAPTIZED!! I mean it when I say that Lidia is the most kind, loving, selfless person I've ever met! She's become our mom here in San Fran and I just love her so much!  Had zone p-day in Arroyito!

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 ...
