Surprise Pets

Hellooooo how is everyone??! Recently the missionary standards were updated and now we can use only emails to communicate with everyone outside of family, sooo that just means I would love it even extra to hear from you all in email!! ;););)


There are lotssss of animals here in Melo and in Uruguay in general. It is rare to enter into a house without cats and dogs. So it was pretty normal to me when one day we walked into someone's house and suddenly I felt a dog biting my bare ankles. I didn't want to make a big reaction especially because I was talking to the owner, but to my surprise, after a moment I looked down and it was her kid...!! a few days later I met some cute grandmas and felt one of their cats sniffing my legs. I didn't really pay much attention to it since I'm so used to animals being all over me hahah. Until I heard a strange noise that sounded like a little pig...picture below!! highlight of my week. Lesson learned, always look for the surprise pets


I love this scripture in D&C 122:8-9. Sometimes I feel like nobody understands what I'm going through, the pain i feel, or how hard my trials are. But Christ does! He felt all of our pains because he descended below it all. And because of that, He will always be with us.


"8 The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?
9 Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever."


Love you all!!

ROCHA

Hi guys!!! I finally made it to Uruguay!! I've been here for about a week and a half now!! My area is Rocha which I think is about 3 hrs from Montevideo. The people here are so nice and patient with my spanish, especially my companion. She's from Idaho and is the nicest ever!  We went on exchanges this week and I spent the day with another hermana in San Carlos. She has been here only 6 weeks longer than me so we are both still learning spanish! Im still shocked that our companions trusted us enough to be in charge of an area for a day but it all worked out. Not gonna lie it was way scary going around trying to teach people when we had no clue what anyone was saying!!! The people here looooove to talk and tell stories and so it's a stressful guessing game trying to choose which facial expression to make while they're telling me stories because I never can tell if they're sad stories or happy ones. Hahaha please pray for my spanish. Being in Uruguay is so cool though...

Praying For Rain

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well! This week was so awesome! We found 7 new people to teach and are so excited because we are finally seeing success in our area! It's definitely been a struggle though because the heat is so intense!! Apparently there is a big drought going on right now and so they're starting to shut the water off in different cities near my area.  Our mission leaders had us all buy emergency water today so that we can all be prepared because we don't know when they will turn off the water or for how long..... ahhh pray for us here in Uruguay!!  I miss you all!! Feel free to write me whenever;););) it makes my day hearing from you guys! Xoxo Hermana Heyborne PICS: 1. cookie dough!!! 2. my first torta frita 3.
