October 14, 2024: Hecho Esta - Esteban

 Hola hola mis mejores amigos!! 


How is everyone!!! This week was crazy, so busy and so fun! It is officially the last week of the transfer and we got transfer news! I will be staying in Sabadell 1 for my last transfer on the mission! I am also staying with Hermana Weiler so we will have three transfers together and we couldn't be more excited!! I'm so excited for all the miracles coming this transfer! 

Esteban had his baptism on Saturday and it was such a special day! He was so prepared to take this step and had shared with us multiple times of his desire to be a member of Christ's restored church! He has a testimony of the family we have in this church and had a strong desire to be a part of it! Esteban is an amazing guy but definitely has a more serious personality! When arriving home from the baptism we received a text that said “Hecho está, gracias - Esteban” That gave us a good little laugh and we are so proud of him for choosing to follow Christ! 

To end the week we had a culture night with our barrio and it was so fun!! All the members prepared traditional food and a dance to perform and the members made sure that included the American Missionaries lol! So of course we had to make some good American cookies and the four of us sisters danced to Cotton Eye Joe and what can I saw it was a hit jaja! 

This week as I was rereading the talks from General Conference and I was so touched by the words of Elder Wilcox and his talk “O Youth of the Noble Birthright” Towards the end of his talk he stated
“In 2 Nephi 2:6 we read, “Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.” Because He is full of truth, He sees you as you really are—flaws, weaknesses, regrets, and all. Because He is full of grace, He sees you as you really can be. He meets you where you are and helps you repent and improve, overcome and become” 

I testify that he knows you, he knows you so well that he will do everything and I mean everything in his heavenly power to help you come safely home! Through him we can change, but I have learned through my mission and 20 years of life that we can only truly change when we give our all to him! All our joys, hopes and dreams but also all our flaws, shortcomings, and sins! He truly is the master healer!

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!...
