Miracles

Image
Hey everyone! We had lots of little miracles this week! My favorite experience though was on Friday. It was the hottest day of the week for us and all of our lessons had been cancelled. We planned other visits after but then all those fell through also. We were walking around literally all of Santa Lucia in the hot sun just sweating and wishing someone would let us in. We knocked doors and talked to so many different people but it seemed like nobody wanted to talk to us. It was so sad. We were absolutely exhausted and had just sat down on a bench to contemplate our lives hahah when my companion turned to me and said "we need a miracle!" We just kinda laughed it off because we always need miracles in the mission but if anything we did need one that day because we were struggling hahaha. Then all of a sudden we looked up and saw the most beautiful sunset ever!!! You guys it was like 20 minutes of pure heaven. I've never seen a sunset like it. Everything was just glowing red...

Wowww It's Hot!!

Hi guys!! Holy crap it is soooo hot here! And the sun is so strong... the other day I swear I could feel myself getting burned even in the shade. This week we had some really spiritual lessons! We taught one of our friends how to pray and afterwards she said the most innocent and sincere prayer and I felt the spirit so strong! even though at the end she prayed that we would finish the prayer for her hahaha. I love this gospel and I'm so happy to be here! It's hard and I'm sweatin everyday but I love it and i love you guys and I hope you are doing well! Xoxox Hermana Heyborne PICS:  1. Big hugs 2.

SANTA LUCIA

Wow what a crazy week!  We had transfers and I got moved to Santa Lucia! We were totally not expecting it because usually trainers stay with their greenies for at least 3 months! It was seriously so sad though because we went to bed Monday night so happy and so pumped to work this week. I felt like we had just finally gotten into the groove of things in Rocha. We had just found some awesome investigators that I love with all my heart! Only to wake up Tuesday morning to transfer news,  we were absolutley so sad! We had to say goodbye to all of our friends and the members and pack up our apartment to leave the next day! I don't know why I didn´t realize that the mission would be full of goodbyes but I guess that's going to be my life for the next 18months...! Ahhh it's so heartbreaking hahha. I absolutely love my new area though. And my new companion especially! She is from Paraguay and is literally the cutest ever. It's been a little hard because sometimes I struggle to ...
