Best Week Ever :')

Honestly, hands down, best week of my mission and possibly life. 


First off, I got my new companion and she is the GREATEST! We seriously get along so well and we have literally had a crazy miracle happen every single day that we have been together!!!! I will list a few: 
- spent 45 minutes trying to find someone we felt like we should visit only to end up knocking right as she was walking up to her door! (so, she couldn't avoid us!!) Within a 5 minute conversation, she went from giving "please go away" vibes to asking if she could give us a hug! It was such a cool change to see so fast! 
- we were able to set another baptism date with a member of a part-member family that have been working with the missionaries for YEARS! sooo exciting!!
- I wanted to tract "El Burrito Avenue" all last transfer but was never able to. We decided to go on Thursday, we parked, prayed, looked at the street and chose one house to start with, asked if we could share a quick scripture and SHE INVITED US IN! (miracle in and of itself)....
BUT! she talked about how she believed you don't have to be part of a specific religion and that just believing in God was enough,  but that she still prays and asks God that if she IS supposed to belong to a specific church, to let her know. We shared the first vision with her and it totally touched her. I wish I could give you all the details of this amazing lesson, but long story short: she was asking us if she could come to church and if we could keep teaching her more!!!! ( we said yes;) )
- We had 10 minutes before dinner so we each chose 1 door to knock. The first was a family who was busy but could have some potential, the second was an old Hungarian lady who kept saying "you came at just the right time!!!" She has been asking God to send someone to lift her spirits! We shared a scripture, said a prayer, and she wants us to come teach her!! 
¡¡ALLL the milagros!! 


But, on top of all this great stuff... ELDER UCHTDORF happened to be in town for his great-grandchilds baby blessing! So he came and did a whole mission confrence on Saturday!! Him and his wife spoke to us and they are literally the best. He was just so real and funny and genuine. He even gave us heart-hands at the end! hahahaha....
The thing that stood out the most is at the end when he bore his testimony and gave us an apostolic blessing, he said "He lives. I know Him." And I think everyone in the room could feel a spirit woosh. It was amazing. 


I want to add my testimony to his that CHRIST LIVES!!! He knows us perfectly, and He loves us perfectly. And no matter what, He is always always always there for you.
Love you alll!!!!

Tucson, Moms, And Cheese Week

Image
Hello friends! I've had an amazing week!! (besides the dead cockroach in my shoe this morning) The highlight was being able to go to Tucson for my graduation from training!  I got to see allllll my cute friends and have a really good meeting:) I also had a fun dinner with a member in sister curtis's first area. I'm officially not a greenie anymore! Hard to beleive I've been in the field for 12 weeks already!  We also got our transfer cheese! And I found out why it's called transfer cheese! The word for "gossip" in spanish is "chisme" which sounds a lot like cheese so I guess that's where they got it.... but anyways, me and sister curtis are staying!!! So happy to have another transfer with her... I also had a nice call with my cute fam bam yesterday!.. and I think the best part was knowing that I wouldn't have to wait till Christmas to talk to them again haha  Sister curtis and I are pretty lucky to have some good "moms" out her...

I Got To Pet Wolves Today!!

Image
It's been kind of a long week! I got sick on Tuesday and I'm just getting better... but I am glad I didn't get the flu because there is a crazy outbreak here (we had to wear masks when we visited some people at a care facility)  We are the only zone of the mission with day light savings because every one else is in Arizona! So that's kinda weird when we are trying to communicate with other missionaries  This week we did some service and walked dogs at the humane society... and today we got to pet wolves at a wolf sanctuary! It was so cool! There were tons and tons of them and they were super sweet. But! I've been doing well, definitely been a little up and down this week... but I just loveeee reading the book of mormon so much and my testimony grows stronger each day. Its a dang good book :) Getting super excited for Audries baptism on Saturday! She is so awesome!  I also asked someone to get baptized this week! I definitely wasnt planning on asking when we went ove...
