I can't believe I am home now. 18 months seriously flew by so fast! I got to learn so much and grow and now it just feels like it was all a dream. <br />
<br />
So these are just some of the things that I have learned from my service:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>To talk poorly and/or question your leaders is doubting God</li>
<li>Fasting and prayer really do work!</li>
<li>The Spirit can be felt in any language</li>
<li>Change must start with desire</li>
<li>Good visiting or home teachers can change a person's life for the better</li>
<li>Listen louder than you speak (im still working on that...)</li>
<li>Scripture Study (Particularly the Book of Mormon) changes lives for the better</li>
<li>Take it one day at a time</li>
<li>Enduring to the end takes diligence - Rome wasn't built in a day</li>
<li>Love your companion, its the only way</li>
<li>Make memories</li>
<li>Rely on the Spirit</li>
<li>I can do hard things</li>
<li>Its ok to not be perfect</li>
<li>If everything goes perfect we are not mortals doing the work of the Lord</li>
<li>Transfers, and missions do eventually come to an end</li>
<li>To keep a cake moist, add a scoop of mayo</li>
<li>Always use butter and real whipping cream</li>
<li>Before you barrow bikes to ride at night, make sure they have lights</li>
<li>If you are going to be biking on a busy street with no bike lane, its good to know how to ride a bike first</li>
<li>Asking for a "beso de agua" is a bad idea</li>
<li>Saying that an Elder is "muy suave con sus palabras" is inappropriate and will result in funny looks and jokes</li>
<li>Announcing to a Spanish branch in Tucson that you work for the boarder patrol makes the room go dead silent</li>
<li>Decide NOW to keep the commandments</li>
<li>Prayers are answered - no matter what they are for (even if its just for ice cream)</li>
<li>The only easy day really was yesterday</li>
<li>Never leave a dirty dish out - ants will attack</li>
<li>Jumping the mission soccer mom jeep will throw out the alinement, but its so worth it especially when your companion gets it on tape</li>
<li>Bike tire pressure should be at 40 PSI, not 10</li>
<li>Write things down that you have learned</li>
<li>Its much easier to just keep the commandments in the first place, than repent later</li>
<li>Never have a cat!</li>
<li>Don't trust the men selling perfume from their car trunk</li>
<li>Everyone has their own struggles</li>
<li>Trust God, he knows best, and believe in good things to come</li>
<li>To change a car tire alternate what side of the rim you remove to bolts</li>
<li>Hot oil + water = fire</li>
<li>Don't hug a dog</li>
<li>We are all children of God and all have our own journeys here on earth</li>
</ul>
<br /><br />
Even though being home is new and strange I am real excited to see what the rest of my life can bring :)<br />

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this may be my last blog post as a missionary, that’s just CRAZY!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">But this week has been just insane. On Tuesday after emailing about that car accident, I got bit by a dog! I’m just fine now, just a bit scared of random dogs now. So what had happened was we were at dinner at this member's house and they had the sweetest cocker spaniel, or so I thought,,,,, So I went to give it a hug (big mistake) and so it proceeded to bite my head..... I have about 4 nice bite marks in my head and one on my nose. They are mainly just scrapes and none required stitches but I get to deal with picking scabs out of my hair now..... haha Oh mission life!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Wednesday was crazy! I got to be on splits which means I was just with a member as a companion instead of my normal companion and so I felt so weird. Then on Saturday we had a go go go kind of day. We had things to do from 8 AM till 8 PM with just a little time for a lunch. But the bad part was we got to take our investigator to a baptism but it ended up being awful! The baptism lasted an hour and a half and it really scared our poor investigator.... but it’s OK. We will talk with her soon and we know that Heavenly Father has a plan!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Also Sunday I got to give a talk - it will be my last talk as a missionary which is kind of sad. I spoke on why member missionary work is so important by sharing my story of being invited to church for the first time. Then I spoke on the importance of choices. I have learned while out that the decisions we make now really can affect us for the rest of our lives and the importance of choosing now what we will do when faced with hard trials. My favorite quote I have found on my mission is from Elder Neal A Maxwell about Joshua 29:15 "Joshua didn't say choose you next year whom you will serve; he spoke of 'this day' while there is still daylight and before the darkness becomes more and more normal" It’s so true we get to choose TODAY how we will react later, if we will be active in the church, if things go bad will we stay faithful? I have made that decision that yes no matter what adversity may come I will stay faithful to my Heavenly Father and will remain active in the church. </span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Ok so since we didn't get a ton of time yesterday this is the rest of my week:</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">We have been getting to have a lot of time with the members in the ward so my companion can get to know them and be comfortable with them. We got to talk with one missionary mom who said the biggest thing she wished her son would tell her is about that he is getting fed. So yes for the record I am getting fed, we tend to get dinner just about every night!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">I did get to go on an exchange this week as well to a YSA area - it was super weird being around kids my own age who weren’t missionaries.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">And then for today it’s sure a good thing we planned on extra email time because our car got backed into while it was parked! I go my whole mission without an accident and what happens? My last 2 weeks we get hit and aren't even in the car..... hey it’s good though, it means we didn’t get hurt and it’s just a little paint.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Only 2 more weeks! I'm only writing a little and will write more tomorrow. We had to come to the Apple store to email cuz no where else had open computers.... But it’s been a crazy week and some hard times especially knowing that a lot of my friends are home today. But that’s just what a mission is about.</span></span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this week has just been rough honestly. We were still off with sleep because of the ER trip so we had to take a lot of sleeping time. And then Tuesday night I got food poisoning - I learned that no matter how lazy and hungry you are week old pizza from the fridge is not a good idea..... It was even weirder to because the Elders got sick as well so our whole ward missionaries were just out of commission. Also my companion is not getting any better at all....</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">But the other thing that happened was yesterday. We got to share the message of the Restoration with some active members and during the first vision I realized just how much I’m going to miss all this (yes there were tears - I’m becoming a cry baby again). I have loved my mission even when there are hard times and sickness and hard companions. But the reason I came out was because of how much I had been given as a result of this gospel and I still love getting to share that with others. </span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Well biking does rock, until it lands your companion in the emergency room..... Ok well it wasn’t really the biking but it did make her worse. So yep that’s what happened this week haha. </span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">We biked a lot on Saturday and it seemed to make my companion feel worse (she has been sick for like the past month) and so we called the Mission President's wife Saturday night and her and President came right on over to give my companion a blessing and then we all decided that it was best we take her to the ER right then and so we did that at 10 at night. Then after much testing to find out that there was nothing they could find wrong.... got out at 3 AM! So we got to go and spend the night in the mission home. But the next morning was church and so I got about 6 hours of sleep (which really isn’t that bad unless you’re a missionary who just biked the day before) and since my companion had been drugged at the hospital she got to sleep all day. So to go to church and for the rest of the day my companion was one of the Senior Sisters that works in the office here. It was definitely a crazy weekend! But we still got a lot done and had a great time!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Other thing that happened on Sunday was so crazy. We got asked to come into Young Women’s and talk about baptism (or so I thought) but what it ended up being was talking about our most recent convert's baptism since she is in Young Women's. So first they started with a great mormon message to which I got a little choked up, but I don’t cry so I was fine. Then they asked our recent convert to talk about her baptism to which I got a little teary eyed, but again I don’t cry. But the kicker came when the teacher asked me to tell about our recent convert's baptism and thus started the water works. It was such a great day to remember a lot because it reminded me of my own baptism and how the spirit felt there. Also I realized that she was it. She was my last baptism of my mission and I just love her so much! She was so amazing this week she even came out with us for like 4 hours and helped in our lessons just like a real missionary. I’m gonna miss this so much. I have learned so much from all the people we work with and I don’t want it to end but it’s going to so very soon :(</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Ok so first week of the last transfer went great! I can’t believe I’m only gonna have 5 more blog posts! So get ready to hear miracles! I have decided that I am gonna just work this transfer into the ground and we are off to a good start. We taught 29 lessons which I haven’t taught that much since I was serving in New Mexico. And we did a whole bunch of finding activities, yep that was knocking on some doors as well as going walking down a busy street to talk to people. It was such a good week. Every once in a while I get little freakout moments where I realize I won’t be able to do this forever. I feel like I finally got the hang of being a missionary and now it’s almost over. So not fair haha but o well!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">This week’s lesson was the importance of following the Spirit, because we felt we needed to box knock a rather rude less active member. He came out as we were going back to our car and apologized and invited us back anytime. Then we also followed the spirit to know to change out plans and because of that met this cute little family that we got to share the Book of Mormon with.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">We got monsoons this week!!!! I was on an exchange for the first one on Thursday so here’s the pic of us totally soaked! For anyone who doesn’t live in Tucson a monsoon is what happens over summer when it is so super hot. All of a sudden these really dark clouds come and it gets super windy and then it just pours! It’s so amazing cuz for a little bit it’s rather cool and nice out. I love it! And of course we go play in it. So there was lots of puddle splashing and dancing and just plain walking around in it.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Transfer news is that I have a little baby! She only has been out like 7 weeks and so I get to finish up her training as I die. I’m so excited! It was weird to watch my comp go home but I know that she was ready for that.</span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this week we had the amazing opportunity to have a baptism. It was super special to me because the girl was 17 and none of her family are members - just like me! It was just such a nice baptism because she had a ton of support and was just so excited to get baptized. </span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">The lesson I learned with the baptism was that nothing can go perfect - the day of the baptism everything was going nice and smooth, but then we had 2 issues #1 was that the font was not plugged up so I had to get a little wet to plug it up and then #2 was that the font almost overflowed - we got a little excited to take pictures and forgot to turn off the font. O well, it just shows that we are human doing the work of the Lord</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Also during the week we did bike. We were so excited and happy before but then after we were dead and so tired (I think part of the issue was that we had to go super fast for one part because there was no bike lane and people were getting mad at us - which stressed me out A LOT!) But we survived and now have a plan of how to take more back roads to avoid angry cars.</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">We also got the kinda sad news that one of the girls in our ward who has her mission call has decided to get married instead. It really broke our hearts. Mostly because I know how much my mission has meant to me and I would never trade it for anything. I am so incredibly grateful for all the things I have learned and all the ways I have grown. I just couldn’t imagine choosing a boy over this. It may be right for her but for me a mission is way better!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Other excitement came Saturday night around 10:00 when we had an earthquake! I know an earthquake in Arizona! Weird. It was about a 5.0 in Duncan which is the AZ NM border and so when we heard where it was from we got a bit scared since we both served out there but everyone was ok out there. Also we were just fine out here - just a little shaken up in more than one way.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">So this week was HOT! Which yep, is Tucson. But we had a ton of fun getting to see people.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">It was super sad though to have our zone conference with President Killpack since it was his goodbye time. Here are all the things he learned in his mission that he wanted us all to know:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So honestly I really don't remember much of our week.... We went on an awful hike this morning (and I like hiking). But it was 4 miles into a would be waterfall but cuz it’s Tucson there is no water! So then 4 miles out as it starts pushing 100 degrees. Ya, bad idea..... So my brain is really fried. Miracle of today was finding Tylenol in my bag that I didn’t know I had in there. I found it as my head was pounding and sang "Yes I know Heavenly Father Loves me!" It was real great.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">O ya we got bikes this week - I'll let you all know how that goes next week. We went to a park so I could practice getting on and off of it..... real fun! Ummm yep, that’s about it. Sorry no pictures today I forgot my cable....</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this week was just soooooo amazing! </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">On Tuesday we did this fun finding idea of leaving "love notes" on people’s cars in random parking lots. So what we would do is write a cute quote like don't worry be happy and then our number and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">momrmon.org</span> on the back. It was so fun and so cute. Unfortunately no one called us back..... but that's ok cuz we had fun doing it.</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Then later in the week we went around trying to meet more of our members and ran into this super duper less active family that at first told us to leave, but then because I was from L.A. we got to talking about California and how they had moved from there and they ended up letting us in to teach a lesson and want to take us out to lunch next week. Miracle!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Next up was on Saturday I got to go on an exchange with one of my favorite sisters and we had a ton of fun! We got to help with shoveling dirt for a member and it was so fun. Then we just worked and worked and worked and didn't stop. It was so great!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So Sunday in the 2nd hour of church one of the Elders' recent converts informed my companion that he has a crush on me....awkward! I don't exactly know how to handle that.</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Then also on Sunday I got to have a great talk with another recent convert. Just convert to convert and it not only helped him out but me a ton. He was feeling that he wasn't good enough because he hadn't been raised Mormon, much like I had felt before and it hit me in the middle of testifying to him that I am good enough and that it doesn't matter when someone found the church, it matters that they are there at that time and that they are utilizing Christ's atonement and how that is there for everyone!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this week has been fun, in a funny twisted Tucson sort of way. So it hit 110 this week, ya I’m not going to miss the summers here they kinda suck a lot! And then our investigator, the one that picked his own date last week went to jail.... So I got to have a ton of fun calling the jail and calling around to anyone that might know about the jail. It’s just been so exciting..... and I never ever ever want to do it again! But we also got to go to girls camp for a day and teach them about the Plan of Salvation it was super duper fun! So yep that’s the week.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">For my learning this week I have the goal from our mission president to read all of Preach my Gospel by the end of the month. And so yesterday was Christlike attributes and I noticed it all starts with faith and prayer! It’s really like what President Uchdorf said in one talk, that we just need to start where we are.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Haha JK, we didn't get transferred but our elders did, so that was a sad day :(</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Transfers are now becoming a super bitter sweet thing. More bitter than sweet I think, just because you have to say goodbye to so many people and friends that you have made on the mission. But its ok because it also means you get to make some new friends and you are just that much closer to that plane that keep flying over head....</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">We did have an awesome thing happen though this week. One of our investigators picked his own baptismal date. He had told us that he wanted to get baptized next month and so we left him to pray about it and so he picked the one he wanted. We were so excited and we really think he will make it!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">An awesome quote I heard this week was that "death is not a period but only a comma." from Elder Niel A Maxwell. I really thought of it more in a mission sense of how a mission "death" or going home is just like that only a comma. Especially seeing so many friends end their missions today and many ending soon I just love to think that going home isn't really the end we will be missionaries for life just without the badge and how we will always be friends, even if its just on facebook.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this week was so weird. On Wednesday my last companion returned to Salt Lake which meant that I got a new companion. So we ran around saying goodbye to people Tuesday and then Wednesday cleaned out my new companion's old apartment because they are closing that area which is always sad. So we got to have a fun week of still figuring things out - if I thought taking over an area was hard after 6 weeks I never could have imagined after 4..... We love the GPS. But we still are getting a ton done. It’s better having more experience with this sort of thing that I can figure out an area much faster. So Saturday was super awesome we got to help out with a Boy Scout rummage sale/car wash and then that afternoon there was a Cinco de Mayo barbeque which was extra fun because I got to see a ton of people from my first area and even some from my last.</span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Yeah! We had a baptism on Saturday and it was just AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it so much. It was extra special because it was in Portuguese for a lot of it. We as missionaries even did a special musical number in Portuguese, which just made the Spirit so strong there. It was awesome! And then today we got to watch and wave goodbye as she left to go back to Brazil :( But it’s OK because the church is strong there and we know she will be taken care of.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So during the week I managed to get the stomach flu. It was so funny. I knew I had it so I just didn’t really eat anything and after zone meeting I just slept until dinner. But after dinner we were driving home and talking with the elders in our ward on the phone (bluetooth) and I had to pull over so fast to throw up. I felt bad that the Elders had to hear that...... awkward moment! I guess that’s just how a mission goes.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So something I learned this week is that the spirit speaks every language. It doesn't matter what language you speak the Spirit testifies of truth in all languages!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this week was super cool and we should be having a baptism on Saturday. It was the most dramatic week with all that. So our investigator is from Brazil (hence the Portuguese) and she didn't think Joseph Smith was a prophet so she couldn’t get her interview but she goes back to Brazil on the 12th so she wanted to get baptized before then. So yesterday after church she told us in a lesson how she was feeling and then it hit her that she knew the Book of Mormon was true and so that solved that. So during the lesson I texted our mission president to get her interview all set up and she will have it today at 2 and then be baptized Saturday and confirmed Sunday and fly to Brazil Monday. Then to add to all that my companion goes back to temple square that Wednesday. Ya my head is ready to explode... We also found these 2 awesome new investigators thru a referral! And they are like pure gold just soaking up everything. I remember how I used to take notes with my lessons and all that, ya they do that too. They actually read and pray and do everything - its so amazing!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this week we had an amazing Zone Training and I did a lot of thinking about how in this life we have to act! So like how faith without works is dead we have to act and do something! Something I loved got said. "In order to grow you must get out of your comfort zone". It’s super true. If we are to do anything we have to be out of our comfort zone. It just hit the nail on the head exactly. That’s why we have trials (maybe in the form of areas that have no work in them or companions that are difficult). But we have them to kick us out of our comfort zone and get our butts in gear.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130;">So this week was awesome!</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">We got to go to the temple on Tuesday. It was so nice to just go and enjoy the Spirit! I loved it!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">Then since we didn't really have anyone to see we went through our ward directory a ton and met just about every member who lives in our area. But that came with a few good stories. First we went to this guys house and he opens the door with his Iphone recording us. That video was so funny cuz I just looked at him and was like umm why are you recording us? Turned out, that neighborhood had been having issues with robberies and some really mean solicitors before. Then just around the corner we tried another person but parked down the street a ways cuz we found some shade and a nice spot off the road so we are walking down the street to this house and hear someone pull up next to us. It was the lady whose house we parked kind of in front of telling us to move our car and how we would get a lot of shut doors in that area and that they don’t like solicitors. She was just super rude! And we weren’t even parked in front of her house, we were parked in the dirt off the road kinda near her house.... o well its just the times we live in I guess.</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">But awesome miracle here! We were like starving for referrals so I fasted for them yesterday and guess what, this morning we got a call for a referral! So exciting to see just how much fasting and prayer work!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">Also I found a quote I loved from Preach My Gospel about The Book of Mormon, it says: "One of the most effective ways to teach and testify of the Savior is to read together from the Book of Mormon". It’s so true since the Book of Mormon helps us to know that Christ is our savior why would it not help us teach and testify of him.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Yeah! Easter week was so awesome! It made everything so nice for contacting because so many people were already thinking about Christ and so we shared that Easter message all day long. We even found 2 new people to teach from it! So for Easter we got to sing in the choir for church. It was such a crazy awesome program. They had picked some hard music but it turned out super good. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this week my favorite quote from studies was from Chapter 2 in Preach my Gospel that said a study of doctrine will change behavior faster than a study of behavior will change behavior.</span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">So today was transfers and I got to move..... drumroll please........... Across the Street! Yep I really am across the street from my old area but just in English now! It’s so weird but fun at the same time. It was a bit sad to leave the people I love but now I get to love more people and probably see the others every so often. Also my new companion is from Brazil and she is currently an outbound temple square sister (Temple Square sisters get to come out to a different mission for 12 weeks and then return to Utah for the rest of their mission).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">So as promised here is what I learned this week:</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">It comes from our mission President and is an awesome video about the importance of Christ and his resurrection - Easter video.</span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">I LOVED this video because it really is true that it is just because of Christ that we can have the second chance we all need in life.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">Also on Saturday I got to go to a wedding for one of the Elders who taught me back in California which was so cool and yet weird at the same time because I hadn't seen him for over a year and I just got to see him for the ceremony part of the wedding. It was super nice though and really made me think of the importance of the moment right now. How everything can change in one moment. Which made me think of this mormon message: </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this weekend was General Conference which was awesome! For anyone who doesn't know General Conference is a world wide broadcast (you can see it in person in Salt Lake City UT) where the living prophet and his apostles and other leaders of our church speak.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So one thing I took from it was the importance of sharing what I learn in my studies and throughout the week in letters home so this is where I will be writing about that. So for this week something I learned was really looking for the everyday miracles and being grateful at all times - not just for the blessings we have but just to have an attitude of gratitude in all things.</span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So I just realized something super funny this week. It’s kinda delayed but I still remember how when I was about to get my mission call and I wanted to go to Rio, Brazil. Well I am serving in the El Rio branch right now. Isn’t Heavenly Father funny... I was just remembering how whenever we tell people the name of our branch they start singing the Rio song from the movie.</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Anyway this week has gone by so fast. We did a lot. We found a whole family to teach! That’s right a FAMILY! Those are the best! So how we found them was we went to yard sales - just to be able to talk to people that can’t slam doors in our faces - and they were just so excited to see 2 white girls that could speak spanish so we explained what we do and they invited us back so we taught them a simple little lesson on Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon. And they invited us back for this week! It was just one of those lessons that I left going this is what missionary work is all about! It was awesome!</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Then later in the week we met another family only they weren’t so awesome. He was a member (emphasis on the WAS part) and they were real nice to us at first and welcomed us in. But then when we started talking church it was like our words hit brick walls like 10 layers thick. These people Love missionaries but hate what we talk about and had just completely hardened their hearts to anything we had to say. It was so sad to see pictures of the Dad's family all happy at temple weddings and yet him just be so cold to it all. I’m sure his family prays for him everyday and I just hope one day he sees what he is missing.</span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">So this week was actually super great! We got a lot done!!! So we had changes in our area, so we went to part of our new area. It’s like 20 miles out of town and it’s just desert and trailers. But just in our one visit we saw 3 people! And the Elders who gave us that part said it was useless.... silly Elders missionary work is for Sisters.</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">We have also been just driving around a lot trying to find people who used to get taught by the missionaries. It’s called formers work and it’s just crazy because we drive and drive and find the house, then when we find out that they don’t live there we cross them off. Nothing to exciting but hey it’s something to do and sometimes we find people who speak spanish.</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">At church on Sunday was crazy awkward. We had a high council man speak (someone not from our congregation) and he told a story of his working for border patrol..... not the thing to bring up in a Spanish branch. So he talked about finding people about to die and how giving them water is like how we need the Living water of Jesus Christ. The message was great but the chapel was DEAD silent and I could just tell that everyone was like ummm bad choice of story topic! But hey it made for a good story.</span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130; font-size: small;">Then last night while trying to go to bed our upstairs neighbors were well being very noisy with something rather inappropriate - baby making.... and so my companion and I stayed up just singing hymns until they stopped.... o the fun of being a missionary!</span></div>

<div style="font: 14.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">So all this week the theme has been "Wow you only have a little bit left". I have heard that from like every new missionary in our zone as well as our members. It’s so weird to think that ya that is true and yet I feel like I really still do have a long time. </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">But this week was great! We got so much done it was crazy! We have had some boundary changes for our area so we now doubled our size but lost part - which happened to be the part that we had been working the entire time I’ve been here. So we are going to have some fun. So with that we still have this one little corner that has a little Mexico trailer park that we have spent just about everyday in this week. We will go for an appointment and just walk around the entire park and talk to anyone we see - we are really good at that. This week I even talked to this one guy while he was fixing his car. It was kind of awkward but hey that’s what happens when you talk to everyone!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: cyan; color: #4c1130;">Here is a quote that I loved from our mission president today: In other words, one day the Lord won't ask what did you DO in life, but he will ask what did you BECOME. When your mission is ended, no one will really care what you DID on your mission, but they will see what you were able to BECOME. Choose to Become.</span></div>
