I became an Aunt... Bella Grace is born

-I became an aunt this week!! Bella Grace Rigby, I love you so much already 💗 -Invited these 3 brothers to be baptized after they came to church and had one lesson with them 👀 -Faith to drop and faith to find is so real. Made lots of new friends this week -A member says I look like a doll and after I helped wash her dishes, she made me sit on her lap so she could give me a shoulder massage. Weirdest moment ever -Member yesterday we got fed BURGERS!!! I have never been so happy not to eat rice and beans for once in my life. Happy late mother's day to my mom, grandmas, and aunts! Love you! Read Mosiah 26 and think about how you can be better at following Jesus christ and how you can better serve others 🫶

I don’t even know what to say anymore. Today was long. Had its highs and lows. We had our last zone and district council before transfers of Friday. And I can’t tell if it went by super-fast or slow. I definitely have grown to love this zone, and I am interested to see what happens next. My comp was grouchy today and dang she has gotten to be one of the grouchiest people I know. It’s like if she isn’t happy and things aren’t her way then no one can by happy. So kinda like me in the past but like 10x worse. I decided I would just stop talking and quit trying to make things seem better. But we had lunch with the hermanas in our zone, so that was good. Then we had a lesson with christian which was good, but he definetley was trying to hide a box of cigars from us. Then we just did lots of contacting and went to the park. I honestly wish we could just work all day. It is so slow sometimes here with hermana pacheco. And I guess it is just a culture type. I am tired of not sleeping well, and I am tired of my comp, I am tiered of so many things. I wish I could find more rest. Maybe i am so stubburn that I can’t see what heavenly father is trying to teach me. I am not really sure. Tonight we had a zone testimony meeting though which was amazing. So many good things were said. I love my zone so much, and I am grateful for all of them. I am definetley still here becuase of the them. All I want to do is work hard and love god.

Dang today was so long. I thought today was going to be a good day, and i told myself I wasn’t going to cry, but I cried. During vision series they brought up kid in our mission who’s mom passed away while he was here, and that just took me off the rails big time. I literally am just exausted in all aspects of life rn, I don’t know how much more I can take. Hermana Pacheco had some friends come take us to lunch, so that was so nice, but it made me so sad. I want to go home. We met quite a few new friends today and talked to a lot of people. And then we had dinner with Hermana Montes which was so fun! She makses the best food. And after we rode to the church on our bikes with the elders which was a cute moment hahah. And then we had a visist with the cutest family in the ward. They are the sweetest, I wish I could communicate better with them.

It is Friday morning, and I quite don’t want to get to exercising yet. It is hard to keep the motivation in the mornings to get going and excersisng. Usually, I’ll clean the house in the morning while they all slowly get up. I can’t believe I have been here for 6 weels. Yesterday I met with Jen the counselor. And it helped a little bit. She definitely says I have separation anxiety and anxiety. I bawled my eyes out the whole hour hahah. Afterwards I talked with president for a little bit and gave him a rice crispie from 2nd east! They all say they are proud that I am still here. I am going to meet with Jen once a week. She is going to get to know me better and then decide if I need to take a pill of some kind. Last night I slept ok, not the greatest though. I honestly don’t know how I am still functioning because I definitely don’t get a enough sleep at night. But yesterday we talked to some good people! It was fun. We taught a lot of lessons! I got a long better with my companion too, so that is good. Also, Hermana G is getting transfered and Hermana Dooney is moving in this pad to replace her! I am so excited becuase I love hermana dooney, she has more of a familiar face, if that makes sense. Just one day at a time.

Quite possibly the longest day of my life. I don’t know why. BUT IT WAS LONG. I haven’t slept really this whole week. My hair is also falling out and my period still hasn’t started (it is now like two weeks late…tmi sorry). I don’t know what is happening to me. All of our lessons literally fell through today, and we didn’t even talk to that many people today. I also could not speak Spanish today. But it is all fine. I don’t know what to do anymore. We talked to a crazy lady today though, she basically was saying she wants her husband to marry someone else to make him happy. And we weekly planned in like 15 minutes. We got Starbucks today so that was fun. And tomorrow we get to go to the temple with a friend. I don’t know what happened yesterday really either. But now that Hermana G is gone, the house is so much cleaner hahah so that is so nice! Oh last night though we ate dinner at 7 and then at 7:45 we got a call from a member asking us where we were. So we ate two dinners last night and it was so much food I thought I was going to explode. And now our zone has like 30 missionaries and it is gonna be a party!! It is a very big number of people for our tiny zone. Don’t have anything else to say today but yeahhhhh…

Took our friend delfino to the temple today. He is so funny. He drove us there with his sister who is a member and let's just say he is a very speedy driver. Had 2 meals today also. They say I'm too skinny and I need to eat more…I didn’t like them saying that cause I feel like I'm getting fat. I'm at a point where I am just pretty much sad all the time and I can't seem to get out of it. Hopefully I can sleep tonight

Well today was long but filled with lots of good things. I got my heart rate up to 180 this morning. It literally felt so good. We had goal setting as a zone this morning, cool to see the zone come together and make goals to help fulfill the fathers will. personal study today was good. I am so close to finishing the book of mormon. I really liked Ether 15:34. Just how it refers to doing the lords will, which is something that I am not the best at. Today the lord concecrated our efforts. We got a super prepared refferal who wants to learn more about the book of mormon. And the other one literally ran into us on the way back to our car. Finally seeing a little bit of the fruits of our efforst from finding!! Today we had interviews and I didnt cry!!! I talked to sister jones about family history and how the veil is thinner than we know. And president jones it was so good. He is very proud of me. He even told Hermana Smith that I am a very obedient dilligent missionary. He was also excited...

A note from Daddy Travis

 August 21, 2024 Good Morning Hermana! I am looking forward to hearing about your new area, your new apartment, and about your WANT LIST for the next package I am going to send you!  The cherry chip cookies you will absolutely love!!!   Remember the object of this week – REMEMBER LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE PAST!  A quick story for you – Mary and her mommy were going for a walk .  Some people they passed were frowning ( pause your reading this story and put on the biggest frown that you have) .  Mary asked Mommy, “Why are the people so sad?” Mommy said, “I don’t know, but maybe we can smile at them and help them be happy.” As they walked along, Mary saw a woman coming toward them. Mary smiled her biggest smile  (pause again and put on your biggest smile!)..  When the woman saw Mary’s happy face, she smiled back. Mary said, “It worked!” Mommy said, “When we choose to be happy, it helps others be happy too.”   These past weeks, I have needed your ...
