I made it!!

Hey guys!!! 

 So I finally made it to Salta!! it is soooo great to finally be here as we have been traveling for the past 32 hours lol
We left the CCM yesterday at 9 am and then our flight was at 1 pm to Panama. Then we had a layover in Panama and got some American food YAY and then got to Buenos Aires at 7am this morning.  

Then we had to drive all the way across Buenos Aires in order to get to the domestic airport to fly to Salta. The problem was that this airport was on strike apparently so we literally stood in lines for hours and the two representative people with us were soooo confused. The airport was basically chaos and crowded and our flight got delayed until 4:30, but thankfully we finally made it safe and none of my bags were lost thankfully haha and i didnt have to pay for my bags being overweight. 

We're at the mission office now. I'll talk to you guys next week on Monday probably! Love and miss you guys!! Hope you guys are doing well!

Here are some pictures!

  Hola amigos!!  Como estan todos?? This week was really really good! We have been working super hard and time has been flying by (I know I know I say that every week, but I promise time keeps getting faster..) I am SO GRATEFUL to be a missionary at this time and honestly do not want it to end! I can honestly say this past year and a half has been the best time of my life filled with the most difficult trials, but also the most rewarding and conversion building experiences. We were able to really focus on Gloria, one of our most progressing friends! I love that lady so much. She is from El Salvador and we got to also begin teaching her grandkids who are sooo cute. We gave them all a church tour on Thursday and ended by showing them the baptismal font and we committed them all to baptism!! The spirit was so strong in the lesson as we testified of the importance of making promises with God and following Jesus Christ's example. Alessandra and Bryan (her grandkids) have very littl...

18 lessons learned! Sacamos la mugre hasta el fin ;)

Hola amigos!!  I cannot believe how fast time has flown, not just this past week as I finished up my mission, but over the past 18 months. In honor of finishing my mission, I'd like to share 18 lessons that I have learned in one way or another from my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ as I have come to know and love them. So.. here are some lessons in no particular order of importance :)  1. The worth of souls is great in the sight of God (D&C 18:10). Every soul is equal in His eyes and deserving of His love and mercy. When we can bring any one of His souls unto Him, we can experience joy beyond measure.  2. God is a God of miracles. Each day we can recognize miracles. Not a day passed by that I did not see God's hand bless us with a small miracle.  3. The work of God cannot be frustrated. Being a missionary during COVID was definitely difficult at times, but it allowed me to see how the Lord has a plan for His work to HASTEN, especially in these...

Week UNO in the MTC!!!

HOLA FAMILIA Y AMIGOS!! I survived my first week in the Mexico CCM!! (CCM stands for Centro de Capitaciones Misional which is Missionary Training Center in Español) Even though the week felt long at times, I have absolutely LOVED being a missionary!! The Spirit is so strong here and I am SOO pumped to learn all the Spanish I can during these 6 weeks!!  So Tuesday, I flew out of Houston straight to Mexico City. Thankfully I met Elder Butterfield on my flight and we went through customs in the Mexico City together. Then we met about 40 other missionaries at the airport, 10 Hermanas and 30 Elders, and took a 30 minute bus ride to the CCM. The ride through Mexico City was super cool but a little scary at times with all the crazy driving!! The city is SO BIG and crowded with so many people!  Once we got to the CCM I found out that my companion was Hermana Hughes! We actually met each other on Instagram before coming here when we found out that we were going to the same missio...
