August 19, 2024: Shoutout to the COVID Missionaries!!

 Hola a todos!!!


We had a crazy busy start of the week with intercambios and many lessons but then suddenly the week turned upside down when my compañera started to feel sick and tested positive for COVID :(( 

We have been quarantined in the piso for a few days now but don't worry we have definitely been making the best of it! We had a pasta night, have been baking a ton, and have been playing card games as a piso to pass the time! But now I have respect for all the COVID missionaries because I don't know how you could stay inside for more than three days lol! 

This week I have been studying in Alma and I came across these two verses which really explained the way I feel about missionary work! 

26 For because of the word which he has imparted unto me, behold, many have been born of God, and have tasted as I have tasted, and have seen eye to eye as I have seen; therefore they do know of these things of which I have spoken, as I do know; and the knowledge which I have is of God. 
27 And I have been supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all manner of afflictions; yea, God has delivered me from prison, and from bonds, and from death; yea, and I do put my trust in him, and he will still deliver me.

I am here to share the testimony that I have developed over my life! I am so grateful for these experiences that have shaped my life and now I desire to share that with others! To help others experience and see the same miracles I have seen! These past 13 months I have felt this urgency to share the beautiful message with the people I love here in Spain!! 

Love you all so much and thank you for your constant support!! Please send extra prayers for my compañera Hermana Weiler!!

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...

I don't think I have ever been more tired on my mission but this truly was one of the most spiritual filled weeks!!

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!...
