CHRISTMAS THREE DAYS IN A ROW!!!!!!!

This week was a lot of things. a lot of good things and a lot of hard ones. to be perfectly honest, i don't get what's going on in my mind. i'm being obedient and working as hard as i can but i still find myself pushing shadows away a lot of the time. that being said, i finally had a moment last night when i was like "oh, this is so worth it." we went to drop by a potential investigator's home, she bailed on us, and we said hi to her mother on our way out. moments later i'm sitting on these wooden steps, in the pitch black, in the cold, holding this nicaraguan woman's hand as she's sobbing to me about where her heart is right now and i was just so grateful. so grateful that i could be there, for God, in that moment. to hold her hand and listen to her rapid fire spanish and bring some sort of peace to her mind. dad, if i could spell her name i would include it :))

In other news, rosa duran from el salvador is being baptized next week <3 ah this woman is seriously a miracle hahah she has been meeting the missionaries for over a year now, she's literally one of us. she can teach all the lessons back to us and is in on all the mission lingo and news. she texted us this morning to ask what the news was with transfers, cause she likes to keep up on where even the english missionaries go:)

SPEAKING OF WHICH i finished transfer two of the mission!!!! hermana kartchner and i are both staying in surrey, zero surprises there, but cute sister grant (our roomie) is off to the isla of victoria and SISTER RILEY SEITER aka my dear friend from my month in belize last year is comingggggg!!!!!! the world is such a tiny place, oh my word. 

 

 

All the non-pine trees look like they're on fire, i get happier every time it rains on me, and the elders just announced to me that they've started preserving the spiders they kill with packing tape. because OH YEAH I DIDN'T TELL YOU the spiders here are simply out of control. also i asked them if they had learned any intro lines in punjabi or hindi yet to use with all our turban friends and they said "just say it in english really fast" so this is what i am dealing with. hhaha jk i love them.

Go listen to conference on lds.org (hey. all of you. it will make you happy. this is real) because God is good and we have a prophet on the earth today and men are that they might have joy </3 there are good things coming, and i'm one of the lucky ones, not matter how many doors i have to knock everyday.

loves to all of you!
