July 15, 2019 hola!! It has been a crazy busy week! I wasnt feeling very good the majority of the week which made it a little hard but we kept on working, and by saturday I was feeling great again!  The highlight of our week was finding out the arbys (one of the very few restaurants here) had $1 coke floats! So we treated ourselves for working hard and got a few too many throughout the week :) Also we spoke in church yesterday which I kind of enjoyed! We have a super exciting week coming up! We have a big service project, zone confrence, baptisms with brother quinn!!, a wedding to help with, and a ton of lessons! We are legitimately booked! Like, we can not fit one more single lesson in!! So that's a pretty good feeling! Its gonna be fun!  We are also pretty stoked becuase we have a wedding this weekend for someone getting married so she can get baptized (in about a month or so), and another wedding next weekend for karen so she can get baptized on august 3rd! S

July 8, 2019 Sooooo I talked to a guy yesterday that was convinced that jesus was a wizard... We had a nice 40 minute conversation about it, which is all I could put up with until his body odor was too much to handle... We were also at a lesson yesterday when a cop showed up to search their house.... And we had a lady with Brian damage ask us to fix her computer!.... And that's just one average day in silver city!  Can you see why I love it here so much??? Haha, but in all honesty, I have been happier this week than I can ever remeber being! We got to hear brother quinn bless the sacrament for the first time yesterday, and let's just say there were a lot of smiles and a lot of tears :')  We also had a crazy fun fourth of July! I got to go to the parade, and 3 BBQs! I ate a lotttt of yummy food and treats that day  🇺🇸 I had a crazy fun day with hermana hafen! I laughed so hard with her, I legit think I strained my throat bc the next day it hurt so b

July 1, 2019 Hellllloooo!  Wow! It's been a crazy week! Taking over an area is definitely exhausting, but it's much easier the second time haha.... It was sooooo hard saying goodbye to sister curtis! I just love her so much and I know we are going to be good friends for a long time. But, me and sister bohrer have been getting along super great and weve been working super hard, so I am feeling good about this transfer! Well we actually had a pretty cool miracle yesterday! We spent all last week just working soooooo hard to try and find new people to teach... and we didnt find anyone! And not gonna lie, I was pretty bummed about it... but sister bohrer reminded me that our faith and hard work would pay off! And it did! So! In order for someone to be considered a reactivation, they have to come 2 times in one month... and yesterday.... the LAST possible day of the month, we had 4 people that were reactivations! Which is wayyyy exciting! And! We had 2 people that haven&

June 24, 2019 Holy frijoles! This week was jam packed with goodness!!! We had exchanges, lots of service projects, BROTHER QUINNS BAPTISM, cheese night, lots of face masks, we made a nerf gun course in our apartment, and we went to the Gila Cliff Dwellings today!!! and I'm sure theres a lot more I forgot about... Anywaysssssssss...the baptism went soooooo well! He was so excited and happy! It was also kind of funny cuz the guy that baptized him called him by his nickname, so after the whole program, we had to baptize him again! And we just had a private little baptism with a couple people haha _______________________ I want to share a little bit about brother quinns conversion story! Brother Quinn was at a train station last summer  in Lordburg New Mexico, about an hour away from here, and remembered that he had a relative from silver city NM... he then told his wife that he wanted to move to Silver City! She thought he was crazy but... long story short, they moved he

June 17, 2019 Soooo! To once again prove that this place is full of weirdos, its story time! So, we went to visit an old lady named maryanne that some missionaries had visited in the past, and when we went to her house, there was a super weird chick named emily in her house. So we asked if maryanne was there, and she said that maryanne would be back in about an hour but after visiting her neighbor, we saw that she had gotten home and had a ton of groceries. So we offered to help her with her groceries since shes super old, and she was super nice and grateful but every time we tried to take something inside, emily would say "leave it on the porch! I got it!" And was just super weird. Then maryanne told us to come back the next day.... So we are at her house the next day, and maryanne was telling us how her friend emily is a kleptomaniac and how she always just shows up at her house and leaves with a bag of stuff (she even pointed to an empty hook on the wall where she ha

June 10, 2019 First of all! Thank you for all the letters/packages/emails/ messages... you all are the best!!!! Yesterday was amazing! I ate chocolate cake for breakfast and with lunch and dinner! I had a birthday dinner with the quinns and the demills and I learned how to play parcheezy (idk how to spell it) but it was just a super nice day! Until.. Literally the most DISTURBING thing ever happened last night! So I was walking out of the bathroom last night, and it was like 10 minutes before bedtime... and there was a freaking worm in our apartment.... which! Is really weird and gross... but like we were like "let's just get a paper and scoop it up and put it outside" ya know.... BUT! When we touched it with the paper, it started CHARGING at us! And SLITHERING! And it was SO FAST!!! And long! And terrifying! And disgusting! But! We caught it under a cereal bowl! And put a 3 pound weight on it just in case. And we called elder demill and he came and killed it...

 May 27, 2019 Hello my dear friends and family!! Life is so good! We worked hardddddd this week! I definitely needed a pday bc I am just exhausted in every way possible! But it was definitely a very fulfilling week!  Story time! So we were in Mimbres (where our branch is) and we were about to head out to go home, but I saw a house all the way down on the far corner and it was calling to me! So we went and knocked on it! And no one answered! BUT! Becuase we went all the way down to the corner, we spotted a guy and knew we really needed to talk to him! So we did! And he said we were the first people in the two years he had been living there to stand on his porch! And that he thinks he moved there so we could find him! By the time we were done talking, he was asking what time church was and he was excited to start reading the book of mormon! AND! The lady we are teaching out there is reading her book of mormon and the saints book every single day, shes coming to church fa

May 20, 2019 Soooo today has been insane. Due to some weird circumstances, we had to be anywhere in Arizona today... and the closest place to us in Arizona is a super weird little town called Duncan Arizona... so last night we texted the Elders here and they said that they would leave the church unlocked for us becuase they're spending the day in Safford, but then we got here and the whole church was locked. So they call us and say that they forgot about unlocking it, but that someone could be there by 11:30, which was and hour and a half away.  So we decided that we would just go eat lunch. And there is literally ONE restaurant that was open (which was actually right bu the church luckily)... so we went there, and there is literally ONE family inside and they are kind of looking at us while they were taking their orders, and I got all worried that they hated our church or something, but then they say "we dont usually have sisters around here!" And we go talk to them
