Hey guys, what's up? Happy Thanksgiving!! Last weekend we had edelvis's baptism! Seriously I have never had a more special baptism. I feel like I've said it 100 times but the best part of the mission for me is making connections with people. Seeing how the gospel changes lives is so inspiring and just makes my testimony so much stronger! I love helping others come to know Jesus Christ and forming lifelong connections with them. Edelvis's best friend baptized him and it was so sweet! Ahh I just love this church! I'll put lots of pics below:):) God sure does work miracles because 4 more people from Cuba arrived in Florida, Uruguay today! And we're gonna start teaching them tonight! Stay tuned for the next Cuban baptisms... It's starting to get hot again in Uruguay! Summer is coming! Love you all!! Have a great week! Write me!

Happy Monday everyone!!  This week was so so good! And so crazy! We moved into a new apartment complex this week and so far our only neighbors are Jevoha's Witnesses haha we're actually good friends now!  We also went on exchanges this week and traveled to a tiny little far away town in the middle of nowhere. It's super cute! We got off the bus and were pretty hungry so we pull out google maps and see that there's only one restaurant in the whole town. So we walk in with all of our bags and suitcases and it turns out that it's the town's bar! You know in those old western movies when the cowboy walks into the bar and the music stops and forks drop and all heads turn to look? Hahaha literally that was our experience! it was so funny, everyone must have been so confused to see two young American missionaries walking into a bar at 11:30am, a moment I'll never forget. Sometimes I really do feel like my life in the mission is a movie hahah I am absolutely loving ...

I Love Florida

Happy November!! How is everyone?? We had transfers this week and I stayed here in Florida and got a new companion! Her name is Hermana Alder and she's from a small town in Arizona! She's absolutely the sweetest ever and I already love her so much!! Last week we had Raquel's baptism. Oh my. It was the sweetest baptism I've had! She is such an example to me. Her faith is so big and wowowow impresses me so much!!  It's spring here in Uruguay so we've had lots of rain recently but it looks like it's starting to get warm now... yay!!  This quote is pretty well known but I studied it this week and it was such a good reminder: "However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made or talents you think you don’t have, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sin...
