Gracee's Mission Adventures: So many kisses

Yuh that's right lots of kisses. Kidding! Ok all jokes aside, I'll explain. So, I got to go to a ward fiesta this week and it was the funniest thing ever the party was for a farewell but the whole ward took part, so it was so fun! The sweet brand-new missionary is going to Italy so the whole church gym was decorated to look like Italy but of course there was a Mexican flag but the missionary is from Guatemala so there was Guatemalan music, and it was quite literally just a party. So, I'm on exchanges with my roommate sis Morley and we are like too similar in the sense of we both saw the elders bikes in the hallway and decided to hide them and then use Noodles to make mustaches. Yes, we are dorks, but it was so funny. I ended up kissing a little Italian chef on the cheek (look at the pics below) good times! And to top it all off the next day as I was driving this guy next to me with no front teeth waves at me and says "hola bebe" and I was like oh my and as he drove away, he blew me a kiss, so you know all the kisses.

This week was a bit long. Our area has been struggling a little bit and Satan is really working hard on our friends. Our friend Kristina has been going through a lot but she has so much faith! We offered her a priesthood blessing and she said "Yes I need one. When are where?" We were like wow okay yes and our elders were able to give her the most perfect blessing for her, i got a little emotional during it because i could see on her face that she knew it was straight from our Heavenly Father. It was very cool and she felt a lot of peace. Pray for Kristina! Ok now Carlos. Carlos is just my favorite ever but this week was really tough. We had this amazing lesson and then he told us a concern he has and tried to pause us. I couldn't give up on him and I cried on the floor like a baby because I've seen the change in him and I just wasn't ready to give up. We fasted for our friends this week and are hoping we will be able to help them come closer to Jesus Christ. It's definitely been a grind week but that just means the miracles are yet to come.

After a long week, sunday came around! We went to church and only had one friend there but that's okay. After, we went out to do some stop bys. We got a self referred social media referral who wanted to meet with the missionaries about a week ago. So we met with her (Lily) last week and she was awesome but is going through a lot of tough stuff. She said to come back another time and so yesterday, we did. We both felt the prompting to go straight to her house. We knocked on the door and she said "Sisters! I've been waiting for you! I'm ready to hear the message." Um okay ya mic drop that's never happened to me before. We said okay we're ready to share it with you! So we were able to share our missionary purpose and how we help people to take steps to come closer to Jesus Christ. She was super excited and said that she needed to take these steps because she wanted to be baptized! Say what! Lily is amazing! After that lesson my testimony really grew that God knows our desires and knows that we have been working hard in our area and as long as we are diligent he will provide! Miracles are out there!

Love you all so much! If you can't see his hand, look for the fingerprints!

God is so good!

Jesus Christ is love!
