Cuba!!

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!

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.
