I hope everyone is doing well. I thought I would send a quick update about the last couple of weeks. They've been pretty crazy. Being in the offices has been weird and way different in terms of missionary work, but it has also been pretty fun. We get to do 2 exchanges, which is fun, as we get to see lots of missionaries every week and get to know lots of missionaries as well. Being in a trio has been lots of fun recently. The three of us are only really together 3 days a week, which makes it super fun when we are all together. Something funny always seems to happen when the three of us are together. One day this week, a 6-year-old was handing us all Jello to eat. My companion was in the bathroom, so the 6-year-old decided to walk in on him in the bathroom to give him his Jello. The funny part was that everyone just acted like it was normal. The family that lives below us has a 5-year-old daughter. All three of her fish died in the same day. She was pretty devastated, so we held a f...

Thought I would send out an email real quick to give everyone a little update on the mission. I'm doing awesome still and still love it. I got emergency transferred again, haha. Not my fault again, but this time, the president's fault. I officially avoided the offices for 13 months, but I have officially been summoned to the offices. It hasn't been at all like I thought it would be, to be honest. I got here a couple of days ago after saying goodbye to all of my friends from my old area. They're all such good people, and I saw so much change in the members' willingness to help with missionary work. Although it definitely wasn't my favorite area, I grew so much and learned so much. The offices have been lots of hard work coming in the week before transfers and getting everything ready. I was sad to leave La Justo but haven't even had time to reflect on it because of how busy we have been. I definitely didn't want to come to the offices and didn't think...

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing amazing. Just thought I would give a little update on how everything's been since it's been a while. The mission has been great, and things have been going well. I can truly say that I've grown in this short amount of time more than any other span of time in my life. Last week, I had to say goodbye to a few elders before they went home, including my first trainer who has become one of my best friends on the mission. It was sad to see them go, but I know it won't be the last time I see them. We haven't been up to much different than the normal besides that general conference was this week. General conference was amazing and really the spiritual boost that I needed. Of course, I loved the prophet's talk, but I also loved the talk about the 10 virgins. We must work every day as hard as we can to squeeze out every drop of oil we can, to keep our testimony strong and keep us on the right path. We've gotten the chance to p...
