Chickies!

Buenas Tardes Familia y amigos! 

Como están? I hope you're all well! I am…well getting better! Still have the chicken pox or what I like to call them “chickies” but it;s not too bad. Just is hard that I can't work and leave the house. I spent my birthday in the house but my district came over with much courage and brought over cake and sang to me and even brought over a poster that said “ Feliz Cumple Hermana Warrior!” hahah it was so cute and made me feel so special I have pictures but still can't send any :P sorry thank you all for your concerns and birthday wishes.

 I am happy to be here serving and going through ALL the experiences as a missionary. I have so many stories for my future kids.  I know the Lord has a plan and it's hard because I want to work and I want to just be a missionary but he wants me here and I will be patient with his will. I don’t have too many itches but man do I look hilarious be ready for the pictures….hahah I have had a TON of time to read and study and wow! I have learned a ton about the life of Christ and how beautiful was it all. I am thankful for him and for the blessing we have every Sunday to start over and remember HIM. Remember why we are here and our promises we have made to him. Yes, with chicken pox I wasn’t able to go to church but, our Elders brought the sacrament and blessed it and I felt the spirit so strongly. It was one of the strongest impressions in the mission to me that he lives and that because of him I can be forgiven of whatever thing I have done wrong, start over and receive the strength I need for the week. I was weak, I was exhausted actually but once I partook of the water, something changed. The atonement is real and He is their to help is whatever trial or problem we have. We just need to come unto Him. And that is my invitation to you. Come unto him and be perfected day by day. I know He lives and I humbly testify that He is our Savior and that He understands how we feel. Pray, read the scriptures, go to church, just work on being the better you and becoming more like him. It;s not all going to happen in a day but you will see a difference. I love Him, my dear brother, y best friend he loves us all. Remember him and his life more this week.

HOLA FAMILIA Y AMIGOS :) 

Sorry I haven’t written in a very long while. It’s not that I don’t want to but sometimes I just am not given enough time.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. There are so many (funny/ cool) traditions here in Mexico I love it! I love the people and loved that I was able to really feel and see the true meaning of Christmas. Lots of people have asked me what we did on Christmas day and well, I only really need one word to describe my day. Work!  We worked a ton and it truly was so beautiful. We contacted people in the streets and sang to them, and I loved it!  Also I got to talk to my family :) what a blessing! So thankful for families! I love you all so much!

Now for new years, I have a pretty interesting story. Well, first let me start by telling you that here as well they make goals and so, my companion and I were wondering what will be our goals and we decided that we were going to start off the New Year working so hard.  Lots of lessons and contacts in the roads just inviting people to be baptized and just really doing all we can. We were excited!  But New Years Eve I started to feel really sick. I got a huge headache and fever and just was not feeling well. It started when I was on divisions with a Sister in our Zone but the next day (New Years Eve) was terrible. But we worked and I just said tomorrow had got to be better. But on the first new day of the year I woke up with....CHICKEN POX! Yep!  All over my face my arms and back!  Thank goodness not a ton on my legs but, wow they were huge! I thought chicken pox were red dots but NO they are huge dots filled with water the first day all over your body. I first thought maybe a spider bit me but my companion was saying no, you have chicken pox but in Spanish so of course I had no idea what it was and then we looked in the dictionary and I thought..”oh no, here I am almost 20 and I finally have gotten chicken pox...awhhhh!!!” But, on the mission? That means I can’t work! I called our President’s wife who’s a nurse and explained the situation and she put me and my companion on house arrest! Ha ha ha!  The first day I just kept laughing so hard because we had such a desire to work hard and start the New Year right and here I was in the bed with chicken pox! The itches came strong but I have been trying to be a lot more like Jesus Christ and have self discipline...I can do hard things( como dice Hermana Rowley) but the good thing is the pox have been drying up quickly. I don’t know if Hermana Tuz and I will be Sister Training Leaders because we just can’t see the Sister’s this way, but I know all will be okay. Hermana Tuz has been putting on the cream for me and let’s just say that we have much confidence together. Haha! But the 48 pox I have are nothing I have 78373740385983058 BLESSINGS and I am glad for this experience. It’s super funny!

I am thankful to start a new year and for the past year that I was able to have. This time a year ago I was in my house preparing to serve and now I am here! I am so thankful for all who have helped me. I love you al!

So, count your blessings not your “Spiritual Chicken Pox” dots because there are so many more blessings than trials I promise you! I love you all!  Have a Happy New Year! :)

Con Mucho Amor
