Goodbye 'Land That I Love'

GOOD MORNING, MY FRIENDS!! I hope your day is going well… or will go well… or something good will happen to you.

"I'M ME. I'M WONDERFUL. BECAUSE GOD DON'T MAKE JUNK."

Welp, where to start...
I FINISHED HOME MTC… wahoo! Seven hours on a screen is not for me. Anyways, I got to go bowling with the family again the day before I left and did lots of other activities like walking the temple and visiting grandparents!

Shoutout to my mama… she is one crazy good packer!!

Leaving the family was so, so hard… like, they are my rock, and honestly, when I got here, I was like, what in the world did I sign up for? Lots of overwhelming feelings hit me, and I definitely did cry myself to sleep. But it's whatever, right? We are here, so might as well try to accomplish something.

Miracle:
☆ On the plane to Salt Lake, I sat down next to this stranger… that turned out to be someone I know's dad!! So the whole flight up, we were able to talk, and it was such a blessing to me… LIKE, WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!
☆ THENNNNNN I SAW HUNTER (a high school friend) HERE AT THE MTC!!

Y'ALL… IF YOU DON'T KNOW GOD'S LOOKING OUT FOR YOU, THEN OPEN YOUR EYES!!

Despite the hard, weird times being here without my family, I can still see God helping me. Even though it's definitely been one crazy ride and I'm still missing people, ahah. I keep looking around at people, and I SWEAR I see my family, and then I do a double take and it's not them, ahah.

Oh, you guys… I also forgot… I CUT CAMERON'S HAIR AND IT LOOKS SO, SO GOOD!!

My trio has been split up… sad, but it gives us more room, ahah.

SECOND MIRACLE: I haven't been feeling well at all, and the MTC hospital was closed for the day. But in a district meeting, the head hospital people were there, and they got me in… and I got an ear infection and a flu starting up, but I felt like God was looking out for me.

The rumors about hearing sirens and whatnot at night ARE TRUE!!

Quick scripture:
ETHER 2:25
"...therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you, that ye may have light when you are swallowed up in the depths of the sea."
☆ All we need to do is ask God for a miracle and act in faith. Then God will grant us peace, comfort, etc., in our hardest and most alone moments. ☆

Did light the world again and I've learned that I don't like contacting people... but there’s tonsss of people that come up to me and talk to me because I am white. :) . . . I am still laughing tonsss and living each day to the fullest. While walking the streets, we are singing songs we remember and then saying hi to those who pass us at the same time.

DIVERTIDO COSAS ◇ Basically, our whole zone helped the while mission's future missionaries finish the medical parts of their papers!! So, so fun and so, so tiring at the same time, jaja. ◇ Got to go on a nature walk… not really a hike, but it did remind me of all the scrambling we do on the red cliffs and in Pine Valley… to a waterfall. So, so pretty! ◇ Intercambiossss with my mission mama in Bosques!! ◇ Had some Bible bash wooooo! ◇ Got locked out of the chapel for a bit, jajaja. ◇ I LOVE THE POURING RAIN!!

TEMPLEEEEE

HELLO HELLO WONDERFUL PEOPLE!! ¿Qué tal? Anyways, we got to go to the temple with our recent convert! Ahhh, qué milagro! He didn't have a recommend, but the bishop came in clutch right before and interviewed him! So, so special! While there, I was able to see our whole purpose as missionaries and the joy that comes from the people we help come to know God and make everlasting covenants with Him and the joy that comes from that. Also, it was so, so cool because every missionary in our zone (except two—Elsa and Oz, jajaja) was there! Btw, those are the elders' names now... DIVERTIDO COSAS ☆ Got told by a member, "We don't like the Americans here because of Trump... but don't worry, Hermana, we still like you!" ☆ ZONE CONFERENCE—got to see a lot of my friends :) ☆ I told a member that I liked her bufanda to be nice, and then she ended up giving it to me, jaja. ☆ Played at a park with swings and a seesaw. ☆ So, the golden person who we thought was so close to bapt...
