Small Town Girl

Hola!

I am officially a small-town girl! I am getting transferred back to the West side of Kansas to Dodge City and I am going to be companions with Sister Valdivia again – whoot, whoot! This is an area where they mainly speak Spanish. The best part about it is that I will get to go back to Lamar and Liberal for exchanges and I will get to see Uncle Gary again! I am so sad to leave Wichita – it is crazy how you get so attached to a place in such a short amount of time. I love the Spanish Branch and they are all so loving! Fun fact about Dodge City – it is the windiest city in Kansas. Also, I am going to be a Sister Training Leader (STL) over the Western part of my mission!

We got through this barricaded door and now they are our investigators!

What people will do to keep the missionaries out of their lives!

Spanish Branches by far have the best parties! We had our Branch Father’s Day party on Saturday. There was a ton of Mexican food (including different Mexican desserts). They put sweetened condensed milk in a lot of their desserts so it tastes so good but it is so bad for you! They have music playing, dances, and skits going on. It was the most interactive, entertaining church party I have ever been to. I wish we had the same Sacrament attendance as we did at the party.

The best mango popsicle dipped in Chili sauce stuff!

Maria Guzman gets baptized this Saturday – whoot, whoot! She is the best missionary – we have been teaching two of her friends’ families because of her and her example. She is so excited to give a talk in church – I wish all the members were as excited as she is about giving talks.

Oh yeah...we got Apple iPads this week and they are pretty sweet! They help a lot with studies and being able to use different resources. We are still trying to find the balance in lessons and not trying to “flaunt” our devices. We have had some powerful lessons with sharing videos on it so I can definitely see how much they will truly help hasten the work.

I had Tinga for the first time at Hermana Hernandez’s house – holy delicious! It was her birthday and she made us a wonderful meal (it should have been the other way around). I am truly going to miss that family because they are the sweetest things ever!

Hulk Award – Best Miracle of the Week!

In our zone – the person with the best miracle gets the Hulk for the week. Our investigator Sonia, read The Book of Mormon for the first time and that night she didn’t smoke a cigarette because she had no desire to. The power of The Book of Mormon! Now she is back to smoking – but other than that – The Book of Mormon is still true!

I love Wichita – but Dodge City – here I come! Going back to the small towns and wide open spaces – I can’t wait! I love it here in Kansas – every place has been wonderful!

“Father, like mother, is ever willing to sacrifice his own comfort for that of his children. Daily he toils to provide the necessities of life, never complaining, ever concerned for the well-being of his family.” – President Thomas S. Monson
