don't worry i'm alive

Hey guysssss!!! How are yall?!?! 

Bruh these last 3 weeks with Hermana Lee and been SO FUN!!! 

We have been introducing her to the ward and sharing member messages with them and they love her! We have also found some pretty cool people to teach!! 

So this new family moved into our ward 2 weeks ago from Chile and they have a son who isn't baptized and has never been to church! Well the first Sunday they were here he went to church with them for his 1st time ever! We met him and our Elders quorum president told us that he said he's ready to listen to the missionaries! So we went to his house that night and had a lesson with him! We have had a couple lessons with him now and he wants to keep learning more and to know if the church is true!!! We are excited for him to find out! 

2 weeks ago we go to do a member message with the familia Pella and they were making ceviche and they let us have a bunch and it's SO GOOD. So just fyi this is the only seafood I will probably ever like lol. But then the Sunday after that they have a friend at church with them! And we go to their house the next day and meet him and we schedule a day to come back to have a lesson! So we go back this last Friday to have a lesson with him and our plan was to just teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and we ended up teaching that and the restoration!! He just kept asking questions and questions and it ended up being a 2 hour lesson. At the end he committed to being baptized on September 10th if he finds out that the church is true and the Book of Mormon is true!!! So pray for him to get his answer!! 

Our 9 year old friend Zirel is getting baptized on September 10th!!!! 

Also Ricardo is doing so much better! He came to our ward activity on Saturday!!!! YAY

We had a lesson with him tonight and invited him to pray about baptism. He said he wants the blessings but he needs to wait. So pray that he will get his answer and feel ready for baptism!! 

So ya it's been a good 3 weeks!! I love you all and remember God loves you!!! I'd love to hear from you guys!!! <3

HELLO FRIENDS QUE TAL 

So quickity quick email update!! 

This week not much happened, we were waiting for transfer calls to come all week and we for sure thought our area was going to get white wasted by elders. Ngl I was freaking out, I was scared. There's 5 hermanas leaving and only one coming in so they had to close an area. Butttt we get our call from Sister Evanson on Sunday and she tells Hermana Pringle her news first, she's going the YSA over in Orem!! Then I'm dreading the moment that Sister Evanson tells me I'm leaving right, and then she tells me I'm staying!!!!! YAYAYAY I'm soooo happy and I'm gonna be training!!! So I'm super excited about that! 

We had some super awesome lessons with our friends this week and we are just hoping that they will continue to progress! 

Long story short, I'm so grateful for this area and all the people that I've met here. I'm so glad I'm able to stay for another one and continue who find new friends to teach! God is good and he love you all and so do I! 

Hope you all have a great week!

SLEEPOVERS AND BAPTISMS

Hello everyone!!! How ya doinggg?? 

These last two weeks have been sooo fun! So here's what all happened: 

-we had Isaac's baptism!!! I love this kid so much, he is so adorable! It was such a special experience to be apart of! 

-on Monday last week we went to the driving range and there was no improvement from the last time I went... there was one good shot and that was purr luck hahahaha

-on Tuesday we had zone conference!!! It was super good as always and such a good learning experience :)) 

-Tuesday was also my birthday... it was fun! It was nice to see the other missionaries and we also went to a members house for dinner and it was so fun! 

-Wednesday we went over to visit our friend Ricardo, we talked with him and his family and man I just love that family. They had us over on Friday also and we had Don Joaquins with them for dinner and also we had a super awesome lesson with them. So his sister and her husband's family are all members so they helped us out with the lesson. We all just shared our testimonies and then helped him recognize the spirit and how he feels it. It was awesome because when we invited him to read from the book of Mormon and pray about it we got the firmest answer he's ever given us!!! Yayay I love him and can't wait to see what happens! 

-Thursday we had exchanges!! I went with Hermana Rudy and we had so much fun! When we got home that night, there was a huge party going on upstairs because the parents weren't home and ya it was bad so we called President and he told us to come sleep at his house!! YAY that was lit. 

-Saturday was Brooklyns baptism!! She the little 9 year old girl that we got to teach and she has been waiting to get baptized since May! She was so excited and it was an awesome baptism. 

-Sunday we had no one at church :((( sad days BUT to make up for it we did a noche de hogar with Ricardo and his sisters family! We talked about temples and showed the Rome Italy temple tour video! If you haven't watched it yet go do it because it's awesome! 

-last but not least today... we went to the trampoline park with the district and it was so fun! We weren't allowed to drive there since it's on the other side of the mission but president said we could ride with a member... so we went with our friend Patty! It was so fun but now I hurt so that's that's rip. 

But anyways! Such a good week and I'm looking forward to this next week in the area! We have transfer calls on Sunday so we are gonna see what happens. Hermana Pringle has been in the area for 5 transfers and we have been together for 3 so she's most likely leaving, if she didn't I would be shocked!! Haha but ya scary but exciting!!  

Have a great week! Love you guys!!
