A true miracle

Today President Welker was at our ward because Hallie Craner spoke in our sacrament meeting.  After the meeting he said I haven't told you the whole story about Sarah's reassignment.  He said when the travel itinerary came for Sarah and it was for the Kennewick, Washington mission, President Welker said he called the missionary department to figure out if she was supposed to go to Kennewick or Washington, DC. They looked further and said she was supposed to go to Kennewick.  President Welker asked if they could check with Elder Bednar because Sarah was excited and felt strongly that she was supposed to go to Washington DC south mission.  

As part of the Kennewick mission they flew out Tuesday so she could attend the temple on Monday. The Washington DC south missionaries flew out on Monday.  She would have had to try and reschedule her temple date or fly out a week later.  She flew out by herself Thursday. That leads me to the next little miracle.

Monday before the temple we went to Walmart. While we were there we met an amazing cashier Glenn. He was super excited to meet Sarah. He made her feel like she was special and that Heavenly Father thought she was amazing. He told her he would make a painting for her and told her she was priority. He was excited to paint Elder Uchdorf and said he hadn't ever painted Elder Uchdorf before.  

The night we went and picked up the painting (which we wouldn't have been able to do if she had gone to Kennewick). Glenn was super excited.  He told Sarah that how she worked and acted on her mission was like a foreshadow of her life. He challenged her to wake up everyday and just give it her all. (when he told he this he pumped his arm in the air) he told of when he was a missionary running from house to house and when his companions wanted him to slow down he said no way, we need to share the good news.  

I feel like he was a big blessing in Sarah's life. I feel like Heavenly Father knew she needed to hear that she was special and loved and needed and whatever she had to give he would magnify her efforts.

it smells like September

 9/6/21 Hi everyone! So I'm still here in El Abrazo, it'll be my fifth transfer here and I'm doing great! I was kind of ready for a change but I'll enjoy it! My companion is Hermana Hawes, who I already know, we lived together for two transfers! And now we're back again, her after 3 areas, 5 companions and emergency transfers and craziness and me after 1 companion in the same area as always! We're excited to be together, and so far today's been great. We're in the beginning of September, the most patriotic month! It's like the fourth of July but every day but in Chile with Chilean flags and food and music and so far I like it, the big days are the 18th and the days around it. Our friends are doing great, Diego is awesome! He received an awesome confirmation that the church and the book of mormon is true in a dream (I've heard so many cool dream stories and all my dreams are stupid or utter nonsense), and now he is thinking about baptism and progr...

Hola! We have a friend we found on Facebook named Erick and he's like the frickin classiest guy. He went to Harvard and a few other big name universities. He's super smart and is pretty golden. (he's the person I was talking about a few weeks ago that I want to improve my Spanish so I can talk to him better) He's originally from Mexico. We were talking one day about learning Spanish and he showed us his visual dictionary he used when he was learning French (he speaks English fluently as well..) We thought it was super cool and he said he'd give it to us when he comes to church. We asked him where he lives and he said Alexandria...... bruh. I love Alexandria but I don't live there anymore. We were devastated because that means we can't teach him, we have to pass him off to other missionaries. This is literally the best frickin guy. He drove 25 minutes to Woodbridge to pick up his Libro de Mormón and also to come to church this Sunday (he brought his mom too!)...

 6/21/21 Holis! this week was a little bit crazy, but overall great! My companion Hermana Rondón went home and I got a new companion, Hermana Espinoza. She's from Chile, from Talca, and we're pretty similar. She loves music and plays the violin. It's been a little lonely in the house because we're the only ones here, both Hermana Gaete and Hermana Hawes got transferred and their area switched to elders :( But we're off to a great start! We work well together. We invited our friend Joseline to be baptized and she accepted! She's going to pray about it and will be baptized July 9th if it's the right day for her. Something I loved in my study this week: Doctrine and Covenants section 59! I loved reading about the commandments, especially about keeping the sabbath day holy. I don't have anything too terribly exciting for you all, but I have a few pictures. I guess I just want you to know that I'm doing really great ^-^ I have also attached an alarm from ...
