✧Awesome updates✧
𑽇 We got to attend a baptism this week !! it was for one of the friends of the elders that live in st joseph, his name is Raymundo and he is the most precious man he was so incredibly excited to make his first covenant with God and the Spirit was so strong at his baptism !!
𑽇 I got the opportunity to sing with a group of other missionaries and we sang Raymundo’s favorite hymn, Getsemani, and he totally cried haha ahh he’s the best !!
𑽇 Okayyy i know ive talked about this a lot haha but the members in this ward are such incredible chefs
𑽇 Best mexican food ive had in my entire lifeee lol i literally get so excited when we have an opportunity to share a meal with our member friends and i am so so grateful for their willingness to invite us into their homes !!
𑽇 The best times are when we get to introduce our friends from the community to our friends at church and then all get together for a meal and watch them become friends :))

𑽇 The first sunday of every month at our church we get the
opportunity to have a special testimony meeting where instead of hearing
assigned speaker give specific talks/sermons, our sacrament meeting time is
open to all the ward members to come forward and share their testimony of Jesus
Christ !! we have two awesome friends Fransico and Gabriel, they’re brothers
and were recently baptized and they were able to share their testimonies for
the first time and it was so powerful !!!
𑽇 I love the Alta Vista Ward so much !!!! they’re literally all divas haha
𑽇 Tomorrow we get to go to the temple with a group of missionaires, im lucky because i get to spend lots of time working in the temple but this is an opportunity to go as a patron which is even better, plus anytime with my hermanas is a blessing so i’m hyped !! :))

☆Silly moments☆
𑽇 Last preparation day we ended up sitting on the couch of
a small hair salon for almost 4 hours which was really random but we had lots
of fun chatting with little old men that were waiting for their wives lol
𑽇 Guyssss our friend guadelupe is just going through it right now he’s got the craziest family situation, we’re doing our best to teach and support him but prayers for Guadelupe would be so appreciated !!!
𑽇 This whole week felt kind of random but there were so many miracles when i took a second to look closer..
𑽇 For example one day we drove almost 5 hours throughout the course of the day which can get old after a bit haha BUT every single time we stopped, we made a new friend and got to start teaching them about the gospel and Jesus Christ and the joy our Savior can bring into their life so it ended up being a great day !!!
𑽇 One day i was in english land (that’s what the spanish speaking missionaries in my area call it when they spend time with english speaking missionaries haha) and we met a man who only spoke spanish so i got to speak with him for a while and translate for the other sisters !! it was so good for me to see that the Lord truly is aware and helping me because i was able to communicate better than i have before, i didn’t have the hermana there to back me up but i totally understood him and he was so cool and interested in learning more about church but then at the end of our super great conversation about God, he started asking if i was married and if i wanted to be his girlfriend he was also an adult man soooo we passed him off the elders to see if he wants to keep learning more about Jesus with them instead !! lol crazy times but it was cool to see my hard work with language study paying off :))

Those are just

Spiritual thought ⚘
“Fear thou not;
for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee;
yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my
righteousness" - Isaiah 41:10
There are many
challenges in this life and reasons that we may be fearful but there is good
news = We are not in this alone !!
God hears and answers our prayers !! It may not always be as soon as we want or in the way we expect but I promise, He is aware of you and He knows your deepest desires, your joys and your fears !! He is a loving Father and wants to bless each one of us !! The greatest gift He has given us because of His love is His son Jesus Christ :) Who is Jesus Christ to you??
I invite you to
read this chapter to look for what it teaches you about Jesus Christ !! -->
3 Nephi 11 I know that the more you learn about our Savior the more you will be
able to feel His power in your life:)
Well that’s all from me :)) Have the best week !! Sending love and prayers to you all,
Hermana Adams ♡
