Christmas is always cherished. As we went as a district to sing some hymns at a park, heads were turning, kids were gathering, & some were videoing. Our voices were starting to go away because we had been singing for a long time but decided we should go to the plaza. One of the members cleared a stage and we got up there to sing. When we started a guy took out his headphones, a couple started to sing on their bench, and others would stop and listen. There is a special spirit brought with song. After we finished, we talked to the guy with the headphones. He ended up listening to every song and was just watching peacefully. As we handed him The Book of Mormon, he promised that he would read but normally people tell us they will and don't. He is different. He will. He felt the spirit last night and we just know it. Keep Alejandro in your prayers.     It was a great week. Spent time as a mission, as a zone, as a district, and as a companionship. Celebrating Jesus. We went to B...

Sometimes people fall, they lose sight, they turn their backs on what they know to be true & what they felt one day. As we went to pass by Herminda's house, she wasn't home. So we told her brother we would pass by again just a little later. But when we went back, she wasn't there. We'll just go by the next day. While we were walking from appointment to appointment the day after, we got a text and it was her saying, "I am not going to go anymore." I couldn't even believe it. Our eyes filled with tears. We just knew and she had told us that she felt the spirit. We passed by again to try to ask her what happened but she was sleeping. We tried to call her, no answer. So on Saturday night, I wrote up a text for her telling her our thoughts and sending her a quote. All she said was "thank you, but I am not going anymore." We had to drop her yesterday and boy, it's sad. She came so close. All we can do is pray for her heart & hope that one d...

It's so special when there's someone in life who brings others to tears at the time of goodbye. Hermana Trimble is that something special. Someone who changes lives. Someone who makes bad days good and good days better. Someone who when surrounded by her, you feel light. She carries light with her wherever she goes. I read something recently about magnets. Hermana Trimble is a magnet. People are drawn to her. I can only imagine the kind of person she will continue to be for the rest of her life. She is home & heaven is cheering. She did good. She pushed and worked until the very last day. I am so proud of her.     As weeks go by, I stand in awe of the things I am experiencing each day. I saw one of the prettiest sunsets I have seen in my whole life. We had a long walk home, so I was able to just think about the beauty of this earth. It had just rained so hard and we were just running without shoes and I was so happy. How could God not exist?? There is beauty surrounding us...

Full of tears. Everything made me cry this week. Watching talks, reading the scriptures, mission council with the ward, and all of Hermana Trimble's lasts. I wish, so much, that I could share all the things I have learned and studied!!! There is just so much good in the world. It's sometimes hard to find the good but I promise it's there!! There's plenty of people that pass us by without saying hi back or even just a smile. Plenty of people who just yell no at us or wave their hand to go away. People who make fun of us, from across the street as we walk to the church, because "we are mormons." Let me tell you, it's easy to get frustrated with the small things. Then you remember the inactive member, the one whose name you sing as you pass him by everyday, who called you over one day to give you fruit. The man watering his yard who stopped what he was doing to have a conversation with us. The young family that honked at us and waved while we walked on the si...
