Quarantined

Hello everyone!


First of all, I am ok and doing well. I am in Albacete! Its a very typical Spanish pueblo. The people here sound great. We have a branch of about 45 families. I haven't met many people because after my first couple days here we were told we would start being quarantined in our piso. The government is cracking down on people leaving so we have had to be really creative so we dont go crazy inside.


I was pretty worried that we would be stir crazy by now but we have found a lot to do! We've studied the scriptures and ensigns and general confrence talks and written in out journals and checked up on the branch and much more. Today being preparation day we've painted, made a music video, and caught up on some sleep.


Our mission president has told us this will be a cool experience to tell our grandkids and I agree jaja. I know that missionary work will go on! Just yesterday we called an amigo and set a day for him to be baptized!! Miracles exist!!


Thank you for your concern and prayers. I ask you to add the missionaries who had to go home for health reasons in your prayers. It would be heartbreaking to go home right now but I know God has a plan for everyone. We will continue to work hard and see miracles. Love you all! Viva España! 💃🏻❤

Albacete or Bust!

Hola a todos!! 

Guau, its been a while, sorry. Hospitalet has been amazing. We seen a lot of new people progressing. I will be so sad to leave. I really feel like my second family is here in Hospitalet. My past companion hermana Lugo is done with her mission so she is saying bye to everyone. We went together to eat with this family and they brought out a cake with our faces on it! I was dying. It was the sweetest and funniest thing ever!! I'm gonna miss it here! Ok so I'm going to Albacete. It's a little pueblo in the south. I'm excited to see how things go! 

This week has been good. We had some really good lessons with amigos. We have one amigo who is looking for more direction and balance in his life so we talked about how the church tries to help us make religion part of our life instead of a separate part. It makes me grateful that I've learned how to make my religion a normal thing that really makes my life so much happier. 

We had zone confrence this past week and Hermana Gali talked about sacrifice. I love how she shared that sacrifice means we give up something for an even better purpose. Some may say that being on a mission is a sacrifice but I have seen that the friends I have met, the things I'm learning, and the stronger testimony I have is SO much worth it than being at home and doing other things. I'm so happy and grateful for this opportunity I have.

Love you all and feel free to write me cause I'll be on a train for 5 hours, yay! Have a great week,
