Pic 1- valencia and spain flags
Pic 2,3,4- biking on the beach. I <3 valencia
Pic 5- mtc comp after 1 year of not seeing eachother!
Pic 6- mi Mexicana!!
Pic 7- mtc groupies reunited!

I adore adore all of the other hermanas from my mtc group and it is always fun to see them.  It's like we have a special connection because we suffered in the mtc together and we end at the same time!  Wow, I stayed up way too late talking on Monday and Tuesday because I just love them so much and there is so much to catch up on!  Also, we got to stay in the mission home which is fun! I adore Hermana Galli [mission president's wife].  She is a fellow hippy and she shared all her expensive, healthy food, which you know is my love language. ;)   And the cook in the mission home was in my first area, so I got to see her, which was so sweet! Her sister and sister's husband got sealed in the temple this last week and it was so special to hear about it from her because when I was there last year, the sister's husband got baptized after 10 years of investigating the church!!  Wow, I just love love love being a missionary! 


I adore you all and hope you are all living the dream!!

3.19.18: GOLD

Another week full of beautiful places and people here in San Sebastian! Wow, we have seen so many miracles this week! I cannot believe how good God has been to us. Hermana Jenkins and I have been so blessed!  Our mission has had a slow start to the year with baptisms, so we are doing a month long fast where every district takes a turn fasting for 24 hours. This week it was our district's turn  on  Friday/Saturday. Literally 2 hours after we started fasting, we met with a woman who the elders contacted on the street over a month ago....  Finally meeting with her, in and of itself, was a miracle! However, while we were talking with her on a bench, one of her friends walked by and came up to us. She started talking to us like we had met before and Hermana Jenkins and I were both really confused. I kept looking at my comp hoping she knew who this woman was because I, for sure, didn't!  It turns out that we had contacted her in my first week here, but it was late...

6.4.18: I Hope You Dance

Wow, life is so good! Every Wednesday, we go and volunteer in the local residencia de viejitos (retirement home mas o menos  [more or less] ). There are so many old people here, it is insane. Also, I am convinced that I want to die young.  Being old looks miserable! But anyway, they always have us help them with different little activities, and this week they were listening to music and they wanted us to sing for them, jajaja. That was a hard pass. But if you can't sing, then obviously you can at least dance, right?...Um actually no...but they made us dance anyway, jajaja.  There were like 50 old mujeres  [women]  and only like 3 or 4 little old hombres  [men] . Of course, all the women were too broken to even walk, so my comp and I were naturally the next in line to dance with the old men to random Spanish songs of amor  [love] . Probs not allowed as a missionary, but they are ancient so no pasa nada  [nothing happened] ...

Today, I will get a new comp...I have not had a comp for more than 1 transfer my entire mission...kind of crazy!
