Highlights

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and women out there!! Shoutout to my mom - she's the most amazing mom!! I love you!!

Our friend Edwin accepted a baptismal date!!! Then his mom kind of got in his head... please pray for him!!

Met with our friend who speaks Punjabi and had a member call in to translate. Cool because I could lowkey understand some of the general idea of what he was saying even though I absolutely do not speak Punjabi at all. Gift of tongues is 1000% real!

The Elders and Hermano Juan came to give a blessing to our friend Donmetila. Juan shared some cool things before the blessing too, that I think she needed to hear!

Lots of canceled lessons and missed contacts, but we met some cool people and tried our best to do our best.

Keep being awesome and remember Jesus loves YOU!

God Is Cooking!!

Week 59, Transfer 9 Area: Auburn (Auburn 2nd Ward & Spanish group!!!) Compañera: Hermana Griffin This week was INSANE! God is cooking. Talked to EVERYONE and their MOM (literally) this week because it's getting darker later (so we can be outside for longer!!!) and the weather is better so people are spending more time outside. This, some new finding methods, epic referrals from the English missionaries, and LOTS of Heavenly help led us to find 7 new friends to teach this week AND almost the same amount of people who are interested in meeting with us as we have number of people we're currently actively teaching!! Our members here are AMAZING. We had 6 lessons where members participated. They always bring such a good spirit, insights, and experiences that we as 20-year-old missionaries oftentimes just can't relate to that ultimately help our friends a ton. Found an epic guy named Jorge who told us he wants us to come back and teach his ENTIRE family (him, his wife, his 4 ...

Week 75, Transfer 12 Area: Chico Bidwell Spanish Branch Compañera: Hermana Hinton It's been a while and a lot has happened! Sorry for not sending an email in a while, thanks for your patience! I hope all is well! Let's run it. Highlights!! We have 4 friends on date, all planning to be baptized this transfer!!! They are so cool and so prepared. We've got Karina (the mom of 2 of our new members), doña Julia (Karina's soon-to-be husband's aunt), and Marlina and Mailani, 2 of the daughters of our new member Miguel! Julia gave us these EPIC T-shirts with our faces printed on them haha, and we gave her a baptismal progress chart; we met her in the Ross parking lot to exchange them. It was a few days before she came to church for the first time, and she told us she needed to go buy a dress for Sunday, so we met up before she went in. Naturally, Ross came in clutch and she's been slaying every Sunday since. And she's been participating in Relief Society at church!! ...

The End Of An Era (Homecoming Details At The End!) (pics)

Week 79, Transfer 12 Area: Chico Bidwell Spanish Branch Compañera: Hermana Hinton The time has come! 557 days 79 weeks 8 companions 4 áreas ...and too many amazing people and miracles to count later... Family and friends, What a joy this mission has been! To wear my Savior's name on my chest every day has been the biggest blessing I've ever received. I've had amazing companions, incredible mission leaders, and gotten to know the best people ever! I could write a novel containing each time the Lord's hand has been presented in the work and in my life, all the miracles, changed hearts I've seen, and pure joy that I've been blessed to experience, but I'll spare you from that 1000 page excerpt today and share a tidbit of what I've learned being out here. I've come to know throughout my mission that Jesus is the Christ. He died for us and rose again so that we can find light to break free from sin and hope to confront our trials. He loves us more than we ...
