Allison finally got baptized!!! Yay!!! She’s been waiting about four months since we started teaching her to figure out all her crazy paper problems… Well, they weren’t that crazy it’s just kind of complicated because she was/is illegal and she needed to get her passport. (Now that she has her passport she just needs a stamp in it). She had to go to Belize city to order her passport from Honduras (she lost it a couple years ago when they moved or something like that) but she finally got her passport! (Really late, but that’s beside the point..)

I Feel So Happy
Sorry about not writing last week. I feel like a ton of stuff has happened in the last couple weeks with my new comp, Hna Villatoro. She is finishing her mission the 15th of January (the day Hannah starts!!! Yay!!) And so my last companion will be the only one who will still be here in the mission when I go home.

Facebook Stalking
How many transfers are left for both of you? I think Rachel said she was on her last transfer, but that would be almost 8 weeks. Is that right?
I’m going to start my last transfer on Wednesday. It will be 7 weeks long, and I’m getting a new companion. Hna Cottrell. She’s from Utah, and was also trained by Hna Fors. It’s interesting because she’s coming to my area but she’s already served here before.

Merry Christmas Everyone
13.5 hours
Well way to stink it up family, and not even email me. This email is probably going to be a little short because the Elders are huddled around trying to talk to us. I am not going to miss Elders let me tell you what. Anyways, I know I’m the worst email writer ever, but I for reals have no idea what happened this week. Continue reading “13.5 hours”
I decided to repent
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry…Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.” (1 Timothy 1:12, 16)
Zebra Companionships
Life has been pretty good most of our time is spent working at the visitor center for Christmas lights. There were a couple of nights where we didn’t have very many people come which was a little bit frustrating. During Christmas lights we’re always in Zebra companionship’s so, you’re never with your real companion, and there’s always at least one person that speaks Spanish in every companionship. One of the slow nights I was with Sis Mackenzie from Kenya. We got permission from the senior couple to go look around the grounds. It was really neat, because even though it’s my second Christmas here I’ve never really been able to walk around and see the lights and big out door nativities. Last year they did leave the lights on late the last night so we could go out and see them, but it wasn’t the same when I was dead tired and there were only other sister missionaries around.
creative contacting
The McLaughlins challenged us to look for a new way to contact someone–to come up with a fun story this week of a contact we’d done… so this is the story that we shared:

Two Thanksgiving Dinners
Well family I’m going to be honest. I am still kind of sleepy from my nap, and I can’t remember what happened this week.
I know there was a hello kitty sock miracle. Where I was able to relate to a 13 year-old potential investigator over hello kitty. Continue reading “Two Thanksgiving Dinners”
The Book of Mormon
Well, I guess I’ve thought more about my spiritual experiences on the mission since Dad asked me, and when I was thinking about it… there are lots of moments when we testify of things and we feel the spirit testifying that they are true–but the times that I have most felt that–more than anything else–is when I’ve testified of the Book of Mormon.
