Hellooo friends & family! Another even CRAZIER week haha, i just cant catch a break right now.  here's some of this week's main events... ☆MOVED APARTMENTS...☆ -on Tuesday afternoon we were called and told that we would be moving apartments the next day and getting roommates! (partly because our apartment was unsafe and my companion felt unsafe because of some of the men nearby, and partly an effort to help me not be alone with my companion, i had been emailed by my mission president the day before that they were trying to find missionaries nearby that we could move in with) Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were all CRAZY BUSY because we had to pack and move and unpack all in between lessons and planned apoointments. It was physically and emotionally exhausting.  my companion did not take the changes and stress well so we didn't get much work done this week which made it even harder because i kinda had to just sit there while she freaked out, napped, cleaned, and did ot...

Hellooo friends & family! Another late weekly email lol, yesterday was CRAZY BUSY! This week was another crazy week, but slightly better.  Here's some of this week's main events... ☆EXCHANGES☆ -we had exchanges this week and i got to go to a spanish area and be HERMANA  TRAYLOR ! literally one of the coolest exchanges ive ever had it was so fun! I already was able to do basic introductions from the small spanish i know but they helped me read the scriptures in spanish during lessons and translated my testimony. It was SO fun! West Valley is honestly largely hispanic so the way they find new people is much different than in our english areas. It was just so cool and a great day! ☆FINDING GRIND☆ -We are trying so hard to find new people to teach!! We are out in our area all different times of the day and trying tons of different things. I have faith that if we keep putting in so much effort and time we will be able to find those who are waiting and ready for us, God has peop...

Hellooo friends & family! CRAZY WEEK. SO MUCH. here's some of this week's main events... ☆TRANSFERS!! NEW AREA & NEW COMP☆ -i have been truly humbled lol. its barely been 2 and a half days in this area and I AM STRUGGLIN.  I am in a new area with a new companion. My entire mission, ive served in 2 stakes with around 14-16 wards. I am now in 1 stake with 6 wards. It is honestly a hard change of pace for me. Ive always had 10+ friends to teach. We have a whopping 0 friends right now... and they've already knocked pretty much every door in our very small area multiple times. I dont know what im going to do.  And our area is also a largely hispanic populated area... but we cant teach spanish speakers. Im honestly nervous on how to even function but itll all work out soon, i really am excited though, i love a challenge! - My companion is an interesting case too... ive had to email my mission president's wife every day & ive cried every single day of this transfer...

Hellooo friends & family! here's some of this week's main events... ☆CAMBULE FAM !☆ -this week, the Cambule family who I got the privilege of teaching & helping get baptized in my past area in November, reached out and sent some pictures of their limited use temple recommends and her husband's priesthood ordination certificate that they got this past weekend!! It was SO exciting! They are SO SO SO excited to get sealed as a family this upcoming November and continue growing in the gospel I love them so much! ☆10 FRIENDS AT CHURCH!!☆ -This past Sunday we were blessed to see 10 of our friends at church!! It was SO exciting and for some of those 10 it was their first time making it to church! It was a great Sunday I LOVE when my friends make it to church and feel the spirit and take the sacrament  ☆TIME FLIES!!☆ -this is the last week of the transfer!! We find out Wednesday our new companions and areas! And next week I hit 1 year on my mission !! It's been crazy!!!...

Hellooo friends & family! I hope you all had a Happy 4th of July!!  i am SO grateful for the freedoms that we enjoy in this country:)) my email is late as usual lol... I'll get better soon! A little different format than normal this week....  Lots of fun awesome things happened this week, but more importantly, I'd like to share my testimony and beliefs with you that were strengthened this week through the people I met and situations I was in. I KNOW that the Plan of Salvation is true, and that it's the plan God has for each of us. He wants us to make it back to him SO SO bad. He loves us! The Plan of Salvation answers the important questions of, "Where did we come from? Why are we here? & Where are we going?" It brings so much hope to my life! We taught this lesson a lot this week and 2 people stuck out to me that I wanted to share with you all :) The first person we taught this plan to this week was Ayden. She is 11 years old and finds religion "very...
