It testifies of the divinity of Christ and teaches His gospel.

Hola Amigos!

This week was pretty interesting like always. Sister Garrity was sick,
so we went on random splits every once in while for the lessons they
had set up.

Before Sister Garrity got sick, we had exchanges! We were walking
around a neighborhood we call "Little Mexico" when I tried to talk to
a food truck man. He wasn't having it and started yelling at me a
little because he was busy. So we left! Then we were talking to
someone about Jesus Christ and just barely mentioned the Book of
Mormon. She looked at us very seriously and said, "I'm sorry ladies.
You lost me at Mormon." So silly. It's a book of scripture written by
ancient prophets in the Americas just the Bible was written by ancient
prophets on the other side of the world. It testifies of the divinity
of Christ and teaches His gospel.

Sister Pratt has a medical condition that requires her to wear a fancy
suit that vibrates her lungs.  It's fun.

Hopefully we will be planning a wedding soon for our investigators! I'm excited!

Hasta luego!

Feed My Cows

Hola Amigos!

Fun facts for today:

Sister Garrity uses me as her weights because our gym doesn't have
many options.

We colored eggs. Mine said chicken.

We had an Easter service at a nursing home. I have a talk on finding
lasting peace through Jesus Christ. I know it's possible!

I received my honor bee! Sister Fairbourne loves me and arranged the
whole thing. When we were companions, we kept track of service hours
and fulfilled the other requirements. President presented the award at
zone conference.

My dear friends Sister Garrity and Sister Patterson gave the sisters
in the zone little sheep with notes that said "feed my sheep." Mine
was a cow.

Hasta luego!

They loved the Easter pageant!

Hola Amigos!

This week was interesting.

I met my trainee! Her name is Sister Pratt. She's pretty cool. We get along well and teach well together.

We are teaching a cute family right now. I'm excited for them! They came to the Easter pageant in Mesa on Saturday. While at the Easter Pageant, I ran into several people from Mesa Grande and Via Verde wards. It was also super windy.

We are teaching someone named Michelle. She is great, and I can hardly wait for her to be baptized. We are shooting for June 10, but we might be able to move it closer. We'll see!

1. Sister Cossey se fue a Pheonix.
2. Hna Ramos and my mustache at the Easter pageant.
3. Rosita, Hno y Hna Medina, Bresly, Tes (she's a missionary now!! She came to the pageant!), her companion, Sister Patterson, me. Tes yelled my name, and we ran at each other! It was so neat to see
her again! If you don't remember, she's from Mesa Grande. We were really close and she was my companion when Sister Pierson finished the mission until Sister Patterson came to the area. Now she is serving a mission somewhere else in Arizona.
4. Mariza and Genesis! They loved the Easter pageant!
5. Mariza, Genesis, Maria, Ulysses, Ulysses Jr, Sister Pratt.
6. Sister Cossey, Sister Fairbourne, and Sister Pratt.
7/8. Mariza went to a Wednesday night activity where they pretended to be missionaries. She's basically a member, I know it. She is outgoing and friendly. We didn't even have to worry about her not feeling welcome at church!

Hasta Luego!

Learn the things!

Hola Amigos!

Transfer news came! I'm training again! That means Sister Cossey is
leaving. She'll do great in Phoenix.

So, I don't have a lot of time because of meetings today.

Love you all!

Conference was great! Watch it! Receive the blessings! Learn the things!

Hasta Luego!
