I am serving a mission as a sister missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for a period of 18 months. I am serving in the Spain Barcelona Mission and I am speaking Spanish. I reported to the Madrid Missionary Training Center on May 13th, 2014, and I will return home November of 2015. I love each of you with all my heart and I hope to hear from you throughout this life-changing experience and journey.

Our Father, Mighty King!



HELLO! I hope you all had a great week! Hermana Gillette and I are starting off great and things are going fantastic here! It’s the beginning of autumn, but it’s still pretty toasty here. I feel like I am really starting to get a hang of the language, yet when people go off telling long stories, I still usually get SUPER lost, but I just keep on smiling and nodding my head, haha. I love the people here so much, they really have become another family away from home! I love my companion Hna. Gillette … we have a lot of fun together, and we have already seen so many miracles! 

Matilde is getting baptized this Saturday! I can’t believe it and I can’t wait! This will be my first and the feeling is so incredible! Please keep her in your prayers.  Everyone else is doing great. Monday and Loveth were able to find a really cheap apartment, but they will have to wait two weeks to see if they can officially rent it, so please keep them in your prayers as well.

Right now we are teaching about 10 African men. They are just the greatest! Whether they are from Nigeria, Cameroon, Gambia, Mali, Senegal, or Liberia; they are just incredible. Something about the way all Africans talk about God is just mesmerizing to me! Every time they wake up in the morning and take  in their first breath of air, they praise God, their Father, Lord Jehovah, Almighty King … for giving them the chance to live another day. It´s the little things that they are SO grateful for, and it is so humbling for me! I had really wanted to serve in Africa, but I have been so blessed to be able to get a taste of that here in Spain. They are the happiest people I have ever met!

It makes me reflect on how mighty and gracious God really is. Notice His hand in your life every day, and it will bring you EVERLASTING happiness!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! PRAISE HIM!
