100 Days as a Missionary!

For some top tier luz de las naciones content go see my photos and videos. 

We got to serve at Welfare Square this week. I just loving service so much. Don't get me wrong I love Temple Square but I look forward to the days that we serve at the Humanitarian Center or Welfare Square. We also got to taste test the cake mix, canned peaches and canned pears which is super rare.

Both of our most promising friends ghosted us this week. The worst part is that they ghosted us when we made plans with their local Elders so we weren't only wasting our time but also the locals time. Super unfortunate but hopefully they come around some day. 

After our friends ghosted us I was praying for ways to be more effective. At the end of the day our friends have agency but it was still hard to not wonder what we could've done better. During personal study I came across Mosiah 3:4 and it says, 

"For the Lord hath heard thy prayers, and hath judged of thy righteousness, and hath sent me to declare unto thee that thou mayest rejoice; and that thou mayest declare unto thy people, that they may also be filled with joy."

It was a confirmation to me that the Lord hears our prayers. Just because it didn't work out with these friends doesn't mean that our other ones aren't progressing. I want everyone to experience this joy but they will in their own time when they are ready. 

I love you all and hope you have the best week!

First and Last Member Meal

Image
Happy Thanksgiving!! Thanksgiving, p day and our only member meal of the mission all in 1 day, sorry if I don't respond.  There's nothing Utahns dislike more than California. Everyday this week I've had someone go on a rant about how much they don't like CA. I might start telling people I'm from AZ or something just to avoid the shade being thrown. Jk I'll always claim Orange County. They all make a point to say how much they like Disney and Newport though.  The Christmas lights turn on tomorrow! I think we are more excited about that than we are actual Christmas. This also means that our schedule changes  from 6:30-10:30   to   7:30-11:30.   But church and relief society still   start at 7:45  on Sundays and Wednesdays so pray for us and our lack of sleep. I'm gonna be honest Thanksgiving is probably my least favorite holiday. I don't eat a ton of food, I'm not a fan of pie, stuffing or yams but I love the attitude of being grateful. Gratitu...
