Soooo I'm getting kicked out of Marambure and they're sending me back to the city! I'm going to an area called Lambare and I will be training a new missionary! I will be doing a thing they call "pinkwashing", in mission lingo, which means to take the Elders out of the area and put Hermanas in... it's kinda stressful and scary, but I'm excited for what's in store!! 

• Intercambios in Moroni! It was fun to go back to my stomping grounds and to see how the ward has grown!
• One of the converts here in Marambure got married in the temple with his wife this week and invited us to come #cute
• I have made brownies EVERY Sunday for families here the past 4 months-  that's kinda crazy
• I told the lady who sells us chipa I'm leaving and she gave me free chipa #loveher
• An old man stopped us in the middle of the street and asked me if I was cold and then just continued walking #legend
• We made Milanesas (fried chicken basically) and mashed potatoes for p-day as a district - that was fun
• We taught a lot of new people this week and that was great 
• This week we taught the plan of salvation to a family who recently lost their parents, it was so special to see them light up when I promised them that they will see their parents again! 

President Nelson spoke to the youth this past Sunday and talked about our divine potential and true identities! I just wanted to share a quote I liked with you guys:

“You have the potential to reach the Celestial Kingdom [the faith’s highest heaven]. The ultimate FOMO would be missing out on the Celestial Kingdom, settling for a lesser kingdom because here on Earth you chose only to live the laws of a lesser kingdom.”

Those of you that know me, know I have severe FOMO (fear of missing out) so I'm gonna take the prophet's advice and keep working hard so that I can make it to the Celestial Kingdom! Keep doing the little things, and you can too!

Te amo,

Congratulations Jorge y Sandra!!

So We Talkin' Smack Now??

These past two weeks have been so jam packed and I am super tired but more than anything, I'm happy! Over a year ago I read my mission call and read "Greater blessings and more joy than you have yet experienced await you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the Lord in this labor of love among His children" and I can say with total confidence that that is true! I have never felt greater joy! 

• We are teaching so many amazing people right now! I love this ward!!
• Intercambios with Hermana Hernandez from Chile 
• Intercambios with Hermana Frota from Brazil
• Planned some activities for the ward which were super fun
• We had consejo de liderazgo in Asuncion and its always fun to see old friends
• We had conferencia de zona and Hermana Buono and I gave a presentation relating the gospel to chipa #classic
• Our friends Alexis and Ana came to church and brought there darling baby
• I made a new friend named bah... shortly after Hermana Buono ate him as I cried
• Benja Baez (one of the kids in our ward) left on his mission #exitos

I'm loving life here in Marambure and I just wanted to take a second to say to anyone who's not sure if they should serve a mission... do it! I was like you; I was unsure. Now I have never been so sure of something. Serving a mission was the best decision I've ever made. A prophet of God has promised "Greater blessings and more joy than you have yet experienced" and I echo that promise!

Te amo
