 Xin chào fambam!! 


This week was bonkers!! 


Homemade salsa (shout out to chị Heiner)


Being in a quad for a day (go check out our fb live) 


Telling our mission president's wife that we were getting coffee at Starbucks ("did you just say you were getting coffee? And asked if I wanted some?!?!?" -Sister Holmes) 


And yes my companion prayed for a natural disaster. And yes we are safe from hurricane Henri! 


Just lots and lots and lots of rain! All the candles were sold out at Walmart! So exciting! 


We went on two exchanges this week and there was so many miracles!! Lots of cute Spanish fambams! The cutest lady calling us angels and crying when she read from the book of mormon!! 


Honestly this week my focus was to follow the spirit! I just want to be led by the spirit in everything. 


I'm tired of being worried of what to say and what I say is wrong. Because God just wants us to open our mouths at all times and in all places. 


The only real confidence anyone can have is in God. If you want confidence in yourself, go put your confidence in God! Everything will work out! 


Woo-hoo!! And aren't we just living a good life?


Miracles are awaiting! 


Love you all!!!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
