¡Hola a todos!  How is everyone doing? I hope y'alls week were great and you saw the small miracles every day! Our birthday shout-out for this week goes to Sister Brown from my home ward!! I love you so much and hope your birthday was amazing!! Alright y'all, I'm excited to fill you in on this week. We worked super hard and saw quite a few miracles through our efforts this week! For starters, I hit 6 months as a missionary this week! It doesn't feel like it's been 6 months and time is flying by! I'm so excited to see what work the Lord has for me throughout the rest of my mission. I'm super lucky, because I got to hit 6 months surrounded by 6 of my really good friends here on the mission! The Sister in the Zone got together and we all went to Bruster's to get ice cream! It was awesome! We also had Zone Conference this past week! It was so awesome!! The main topic at Zone Conference was weekly planning and how can we prepare ourselves to give our investig...

¡Hola a todos! How was everyone's week? I hope it was amazing, and that you all witnessed miracles in your lives! Our birthday shout-out this week goes to my cousin Melanie! Happy Birthday girl! I hope it was a great one!! Alright y'all nothing too much happend this week, but I'll go through some of the highlights.  We didn't teach any lessons this week because the same guy cancelled on us twice...we did everything we could to get him to church yesterday but he still didn't come. It was super disappointing, but we'll keep trying.  On that note, I also gave my second ever talk in Spanish yesterday. I had about a 24 hour notice, but it went well. I spoke on the 5 principles of the gospel (basically lesson 3 out of PMG lol). It went well and I feel good about it. I definitely felt a lot more comfortable than the first time I spoke in Spanish lol. This week we tried to give out a Book of Mormon to a guy at one of our larger Tiendas. He was a worker and we talked to ...

¡Hola a todos! I hope y'all had an amazing week last week! We don't have any birthday shout-outs this week, but I do have a few friends who entered the MTC last week and some who will be starting this week! Good Luck to all of our new missionaries! I'll be praying for y'all! Well everyone, this week was kind of crazy! I packed everything up and left Coal Mountain. I absolutely loved my time in the Azalea Branch, and as my first area, it will always hold a special place in my heart. I was transfered to the Marietta Zone, serving in the Cherokee Branch. My new companion is Hermana Crow! I love her so much and she and I are having a blast working together! I'm now living in Woodstock GA and let me tell ya, this place is so crazy haha. The little town of Woodstock just baffles my mind lol. We spend a lot of time downtown finding and we've met some really fun people. One guy in particular is named Nathan. Nathan works in a store downtown called Blue Frog. The best wa...

Alright, so let's start off with the news...I'm getting transferred! I'll be headed to Cherokee in the Marietta Zone! My new companion's name is Hermana Crow and she's so amazing! I've talked to her quite a few times and I'm so excited to serve with her! This was a great last week in the Coal Mountain Zone! The week started off with exchanges. I was with Hermana Flanary and we got some great work done together! We actually found a new person who we are hoping to start teaching! Her name is Yulisa and she seems super awesome! We found her while walking through our Glenwood trailer park, and she invited us in to talk to her about ...
