As this week went by in the blink of an eye, I am left thankful. Thankful for our Heavenly Father & His many miracles. Thankful for this mission. So many beautiful people that I have met and have made such a sweet impact. Thankful for prayer. The Lord hears and answers every single prayer, I just know it. Oh, I love this gospel with all my heart and I know it is true.     Last week, we didn't see much success in finding people. It was a bummer & we decided to get priesthood blessings. So on Monday last week, our ZL gave us blessings. I will always remember this moment. I know that there were some things God wanted to tell me and I certainly felt that. Something that I've been told since being out is that you should always ask for a priesthood blessing if there is someone available and willing. It really is power from on high and it brings answers. Sometimes answers you never knew you needed.     A perfect word to describe this week is water. It rained so much...

Being here is still mind blowing. I walk the streets for hours each day & sit in houses where people give us so much food. This week was beautiful. We met some new people and visited lots of members and those who are more inactive!!     As time has gone by, Hermana Trimble and I have gotten so close! We laugh & laugh while telling so many stories. We also have been doing lots of walking and have been drained but we keep pushing and are constantly trying to meet new people whether in the streets or at the park!     We met Fabio!!! We went to the laguna and the first person we went up to was sweet Fabio. He was sitting on a little bench staring out at the sunset. As we started to talk to him, it felt calm and the conversation went smoothly! We got his phone number & address. We kept walking around talking to people but paused and watched the sunset for a while. It was beautiful and I felt so much peace. It definitely is hard to feel the spirit as much being...

The last few days in the CCM will be cherished my whole life. So many testimonies shared, so much love, and sad goodbyes. On our last day of class, we started the day off by sharing the things we see and love about each person. It was special to really think about each person and what Christ would see in them. I love that district so much and am forever thankful for the examples they were to me. We closed the night off by baring testimonies. So many tears and some tears from people who had not cried. The spirit was with us.     The final Sunday we sang Nearer my God to Thee for the final hymn and it was pure. After church we just packed and played games and talked for a long time. I went and weighed my bags and yes they were over. One of the senior missionaries said, "You need to learn how to lighten your life." Which is hilarious and I died but it is fine. Hermana Dowdy and I wanted to get blessings before heading to Argentina and it was so perfect and exactly what I needed....

I want to live like this. Drenching myself in the scriptures, every. single. day. Praying all the time. Trusting in the Lord. Strengthen my testimony. Honoring my covenants. And so much more. This past weekend, words of God were spoken to us by the Prophet, the Apostles, & the General Authorities of the church. We were uplifted, encouraged, and showered with love. I have listened to general conference all my life, but never like this. We gathered in the auditorium and sat to listen to every word spoken, taking notes along the way. I have so many things I want to say. Let's just say, if you didn't listen to conference this time... go & listen right now.      I want to just write some lines that stood out to me so much!!! If Christ were here, he would say He loves us. He would ask us to repent. With His help, you can carry any burden. See yourself as he sees you!!! You have the power to choose... & Jesus Christ is the only way. He is the best choice. Everything ...
