October 2, 2023 Bienvenido a la Conferencia General!

 Hola Amigos,


Being a missionary during General Conference Weekend felt the same as Christmas morning! Being in Salt Lake our main mission this week was inviting every person literally EVERYONE to watch General Conference! We handed out flyers left and right and got as many tickets for our amigos as we could find! Truly there is no better environment to learn and feel the spirit than listening to words of living Apostles and Profetas! 

This week we had plenty of service opportunities with helping two families move. And I had an amazing Intercambio with Hermana Jensen and Reyna! Hermana Reyna just recently got her mission driving card. So we had a new driver on the road and the three of us are all trainees! Super fun experience figuring out missionary work together! 

The highlight of the week was General Conference!! Being in the Salt Lake City West mission we had the blessings of receiving tickets! I went to the Sunday Morning Session with my Companions and an amazing group of Missionaries! 

I'm going to put some notes from General Conference weekend. You don't have to read them, they are more for me! I know that God truly does speak through Prophets and Apostles in our day.

November 25, 2024: My Heart if Full

Image
  Well this is it, my last mission email!! Time has flown by. I can't believe my mission is coming to an end this week!  I don't want to make this too long but I just want to write a few words of gratitude! Over these 18 months I have truly been changed! I have seen miracles happen every single day and through the Lord and his work I have been so blessed! I have loved every minute of meeting people from all over the world in Salt Lake City and Barcelona Spain! My mission means everything to me and the people that I have met have changed me!  Most importantly I have come to know my Savior Jesus Christ! I know he lives, he loves us! Everything that he did was for us and the immense love he has! He is my greatest example and my best friend! I know he has walked with me through every phase of my mission! I want to be better because of him but more often than not he has been there to pick me up when I fall!  I love my Heavenly Father and truly have felt his love for me on...

November 4, 2024: Prayers for Valencia

Image
  Hola!!! These past two weeks have been crazy! There has been major flooding in Valencia and in Catarroja which was my first area here in Spain! My heart goes out to all of the people that I know and love!! Please pray for the sweet people of Valencia they need your prayers! The work here in Sabadell has been pretty normal besides all the rain which leads to plenty of canceled lessons but we are still going strong!  We have found a few new families in our area and they are progressing so well! First is Precious and here two boys! They are from Nigeria and we get to teach this sweet family in English which is quite a change for me! The first time we met with this sweet family we taught 3 Nefi 11 and they loved it! Precious started tearing up as she shared who Jesucristo was to her! One of her little boys was listening to the lesson with wide eyes fully engaged! I showed him a small painted card of Christ coming to the Americas to show him that Christ is our resurrected Savior!...
