The Holy Trio

 Pues hola! It's been an eventful 5 days to say the least. 

Adiós Hermanita 
So, my amazing companion finished her mission this week. She flew home Saturday, and it was sad news. Before she left, we wanted to just go out and find all day long. We knocked lots of doors and talked to lots of people, it was so good. We ended our night with a Bible study with some friends of ours who aren't really progressing, but we just read the Bible with them. Hermana Allen bore a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and we invited each of them to read it. They said they would! It was a very spiritual lesson. I love Hermana Allen and I already miss her! She taught me a lot about loving the mess and resilience. I want to be like her when I grow up. 
Trio miracles 
Saturday, my roommates and I were put into a trio. I haven't been in a trio since the MTC so kinda crazy. We have seen so many miracles though! The first would be Saturday morning. We went to teach a lesson and had a couple from our ward who came to fellowship. The lesson didn't go through, and our backup fell through too which is like literally the worst but the sweet couple we were with invited us to breakfast with them, we couldn't say no because you never say no to Latinos, so we went. As we were finishing up and cleaning up the couple next to us complimented us missionaries on how well behaved we were. They were talking us up and were very kind. We got talking with them and our members literally became fellowship. We talked to the couple for about 20 mins. They had gone through a lot and our fellowship was perfect for them. We all ended up a little teary-eyed at the situation. It was really special. We got into the car after and all just felt so grateful for that experience. God is in the details. 
Part 2 
We had another super cool miracle! We got a referral on Saturday, and he was interested in English class as well as learning more about the gospel. We set up a time to meet but also asked him if he had time Sunday at 10:30 and he said yes, so we said "well come to church!" Usually when that happens, we never seen them at church. Well, he came. And he loved it. It was so cool! 
Not even going to lie. This past month has sucked. I've really struggled to feel like my prayers are getting anywhere besides just hitting the ceiling. But I know Heavenly Father is in the details. Every day I get some tender little love notes left from my angels above and they keep me going. I also know Jesus Christ is on my right and on my left and sometimes carrying me through. I love him and I know him. Something that has stuck with me from my last mission President was a saying he always used and it was "We've got this, because He's got us" I stick to that. I've got this because He's got me. Have a great week. 
God is good. 
Jesus lives and loves you! 
Go tell someone you love them.

The hardest thing I've ever loved to do

  God is a loving Heavenly Father. The first principle we teach as missionaries.  A simple statement, but one that has changed my life.  God...
