Hello everyone I hope you are all doing wonderfully well. I am still in the Tualatin Branch (woohoo) with a new companion sister blake. She's from Spanish Fork so that's pretty cool. For those of you who don't know obscure Utah geography that's 15 minutes away from my house. We both went to BYU before the mission as well but we didn't ever actually know each other until now. She's super awesome and has so much energy and fire for the work it's amazing!


We moved apartments and now it feels like we are in a cozy little cabin! Wow we have been busy this week and the members have been really involved which is such a miracle.


Cool things:

☆ fausto explaining to everyone he meets that he has felt so joyful since learning about the gospel and trying to describe the feeling of the spirit and asking if others have felt the same. 

☆ dinner with the Alvarez family (our friends we are teaching) and a member family and learning about all of the cool Chilean food

☆ learning about the difference between knowledge, understanding and intelligence 

☆ talking to the local luchador at the library 

☆ helping a girl Tracy find the light of Christ!


I love you all! Just be good and go! You got this 


Te amo

  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...
