The Finish Line

 Ya se acabó 🥺🥹

I am in aw right now that I'm actually writing this email. It flew by so fast, and my joy is full! This last week was crazy! Felt all the feels. I couldn't be more grateful that I had these 18 months to serve my savior Jesus Christ in the Arcadia California Mission. I am going to miss these people so much. 😢  My companion is off to Peru tomorrow, so we have had so much fun this last week working hard out here in East LA. God has been so good to us. I will head to the temple tomorrow and spend the day with my mission president and the other missionaries, and Wednesday I will fly home! 

Highlights from the week!

💕 Said goodbye to so many members. The hardest was Hna Becerril. I have known her since my first transfer. Let's just say I'm glad my house is 6 hours away 

💕We put Albert on date!!!! August 10th here he comes!!! We also invited his niece Valarie but her mom said no :(  hopefully he heart will soften

💕 Met this cool guy named ederson! He went to our church for a year in Venezuela, but didn't know that there were churches here too soooo...

💕 Went on a 6 mile run for the first time in 18 months and it felt soo goooddd. Shoutout to my prima for biking by me 🚲🚴‍♀️

💕RAFAEL AND ARECELY ARE GONNA GET BAPTIZED ON AUGUST 3RD! They have their wedding this Friday!!! Hoping to be able to come back to see it because they said I have to be there!!

💕literally witnessed ICE taking this young guy away from his family 

I can't believe this is actually it. It has been an honor to serve my savior Jesus Christ for the last 18 months. His gospel is truly simply beautiful, and beautifully simple. Thank you everyone for all your support and prayers. I will see you soon!
JESUS LIVES AND THIS IS HIS CHURCH. HE IS YOUR SAVIOR AND REDEEMER!!  BEST 18 MONTHS EVER! I'm excited to see what the lord has in store next 

My homecoming is this Sunday, July 27th at 12 pm! I hope to see you there! 


Hasta luego

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 ...
