 Hello ladies and gentleman! 🎎 This week was so powerful 🦎🌊 The work down here in Arkansas is going crazy. I have felt so blessed this week- and I am so blessed to be learning so much 💓 Missions and sharing light and joy to peoples life genuinely brings a happiness I can't explain. 🫶

So yeah anyways! 🐒 JOSÉ IS BAPTIZED! 🌊 We had a beautiful baptism on Sunday after church, and it was a glorious day 💐 José has so much faith, and we are SO happy for him. 🦭🦭 ALSO! Josés wife, Connie, has sat with us throughout every. single. lesson. but has never been interested because she lovesss her own church 💨 But on Saturday night, I just felt like I really needed to personally invite her to church 🪇 So after our lesson, we were leaving and I told her I would LOVE to see her at church on Sunday (in my extreme broken Spanish 🤓🤓) and then we just had to pray 🙏 Fast forward to Sunday, we are sitting in Relief Society (church class) and we are 30 mins in 🛌 The door opens, and CONNIE IS THERE. 🎊👯‍♀️ I think I actually gasped out loud haha. I couldn't believe it- and we were rejoicing 🕊 

This week we got fed so much haha 🎅🎅 One of our members are the Alvarangas, and they are known for making fun of new missionaries, yay! 🦧 Basically the whole time, they would talk super fast (on purpose) and then look at me and asked if I understood and I would stare at them 🐸🐸 and they would laugh 🫥 But its okay because they fed us fish tacos 🐠🔥 But I got to have steak at Texas Road House on Friday and I love America!

Yesterday I got to do exchanges with Sister Webb!! 🕷😍 She is in her 2nd transfer, and I am obviously in my 1st, and so we were babies leading out the area! 👶🍼 It was amazing though! I am not going to lie- it was SO nice speaking English for a day 🇺🇲🏈 We taught so much, and I was able to share everything I wanted to share, which was so powerful. 🔋I love Spanish, but it's tricky because my vocab is so small, and I feel like I can't connect with people in the way I want too 🌧 BUT I have so much trust that I will be able to do it soon. I have been blessed to be able to learn a TON in such a small amount of time 🔆🤍 

I love you! 💐 I pray for you guys everyday. 🐬 Also, I want to stress the importance of going to church! ‼️‼️ If you are having a hard time feeling like church is important or worth your time- I would encourage you to switch your mindset, and stop going to church for yourself, and start going for OTHER PEOPLE. ✴️ Go to serve someone, or smile at someone, or open the door for a grandma 😺 I promise when we serve others, we ARE HAPPIER 💝 

P.S. Shoutout BYU COUGARS for demolishing the Utes 🚫🏀🥶
