okay, I know its been a while but I just wanted to give a quick update and let you guys know that I'm alive and thriving, there is so much joy in missionary work. Everyday we are so blessed to see miracles surrounding us.
Right now I´m in Cuenca, we had transfers about 3 weeks ago and after 3 transfers in Loja I moved here and am comps with Hermana Vasquez. Shes from Bogota Colombia, and everyone wants her accent including me haha. Shes seriously an angel, we lived together in Loja for 2 transfers in the same house so its been super fun to finally be comps with her. I graduated and now Im in a ward! In loja it was just a branch but we were blessed to see so much growth during my time there. My last weekend there we were able to witness the baptism of a family we had found 2 transfers ago. I have such a special place in my heart for this family. The dad, Carlos, his wife Paulina, and their daughter Daniela all got baptized. There are people in your mission where you know youre there to meet them specifically. This family was one of them. It was absolutely amazing to be able to watch them progress and truly see the joy and blessings that the Gospel brings in their lives.
Here in Cuenca its been a rollercoaster. Added responsibilities as hermana lider has brought more stress but more opportunities to be influenced by the spirit and serve. Ive already learned so much in these short 3 weeks but its been incredible.
We got to paint the house of our friend Giovanni who has the purest heart of anyone youll ever meet. Teaching him has also brought so many amazing spiritual experiences. I told have time to write all the miracles that we see daily but I can testify that the Lords hand is in the work. He literally carries us through our days and it is such a privilege to be able to work for and with Him.
I hit 9 months tomorrow which is absolutely insane, time has absolutely flown. I cant imagine anywhere else I´d rather be.
