Hasta Vernos Con El Rey

Holaaaaa!! The time has come to an end. I will be leaving Peru on Friday and will make it to Idaho on Saturday! Im so excited to see everyone but also a little heartbroken to leave all the wonderful people Ive met. Peru will always have a place in my heart.


These past 18 months have been the hardest 18 months but I am so grateful for the hard because in the end I became stronger. 


Thank you district 18B for your love and testimonies of the gospel, also for making us laugh all the time.


Thank you to all my companions....Hna Goates, Hna Webb, Hna Soto, Hna Gamarra, Hna Kuhn, Hna Poccohuanca, Hna brown, Hna sandoya, Hna pexton, Hna Strömsdörfer, and Hna Ramirez. Thanks for supporting me and helping me become the daughter of God that he wants of me.


Thank you to all the members and friends in each of my areas...la victoria, california, cajamarca, and chimú. Thanks for allowing my heart to grow and giving me opportunities to learn.


Thank you to all of my leaders for the love, support, councils, and jokes. You helped me get through alot.


Thank you Pres. and Hna Hiatt for the constant love. For the advice. For being my parents in the mission. For everything you do for each missionary.


Thank you all for all the prayers and messages. It really meant alot, i read each one. Eventhough i didnt respond to all, super sorry about that, i read them and felt your love.


Thanks to my amazing family. For always supporting me, for your constant prayers, for the advice, for cheering me up when I wanted to give up. Thanks for being an example to me. 


I am so grateful for all the wonderful experiences I have had. The good and the hard. I am grateful for the earthly angels that have helped picked me up. I am grateful for my Savior and his infinite atonement. The atonement is real. It heals lives. It has healed mine. I am grateful for my heavenly father. For his infinite love that he sent His only begotten son to the earth to suffer, die, and ressurect for us. We cant fully understand his love. I am grateful for the gospel. I know it changes lives. I know that Joseph Smith restored the gospel of Jesus Christ and that President Nelson is a prophet of God. I know that the book of mormon is true, its the most correct book. It gives us hope. I know...witbout doubt...that this is the true church of Jesus Christ. In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.


My testimony is simple but its what Ive shared and taught and tesified these past 18 months. 


My heart is so full of love. This is the best decision i have ever made. Ive had experiences that will help me my whole life. My mission hasnt ended, it has just begun.


I love each one of you! I will see you all soon!


Con amor

I Got My Visa!

Okayyyy so guess what?! I got my visa! There were only 2 missionaries out of all 30-40 Peru missionaries at the MTC that got their visa. I was one of them! It's a MIRACLE! I leave for Peru on Monday and I'm so excited. God definitely has a plan for me and there must be someone in Peru that needs me.  This week has been super good. My Spanish is coming along. It's going to be so sad leaving my companions and district. I love them so much and it will be hard saying goodbye. We are still just having classes everyday trying to learn spanish. One night the fire alarm went off, my other two companions had just gotten out of the shower and were running to put clothes on to leave. The cops came and were trying to figure out what happened but no one knows. The very next night we had to go get medicine and as we were walking back, the MTC president stopped and asked us why there were so many people outside after hours. He told us to do better. It was kinda funny haha. Anywaysss, this...

1 Yearrrrr

Holaaaaa!! I have officially been a missionary for 1 year! The hardest year of my life. The best year for my life. A year of learning. A year of patience. A year of growing. A year of meeting the most amazing people. A year of making friendships. A year of coming closer to my savior. A year of miracles. A year that I will never forget. A year of love for my heavenly father and Jesus christ. There have been times where I've just wanted to give up. But in these times, the Lord gave me strength to press forward. I am so grateful for all the many experiences I have had in Peru and I'm excited for these last 6 months. One of my favorite things about the mission is the opportunity we have to meet new people. I have made lasting friendships and I want to thank each one of my companions for everything they have taught me!   Hna Goates She taught me how to find JOY! She is the most positive and happy person I've ever met. There's is so much joy and happiness even in the lowest m...
