Hi Hi! 

 Officially made it to week 4 of being a missionary! I'm not gonna lie the deeper I'm getting into my weeks at the CCM there's less to fill y'all in about because everyday here is very similar. The days are long and it seriously feels like I'm in a movie or a simulation sometimes! But the weeks are short and I'm really gonna miss it here! Seriously, I'm loving the CCM! I'm so blessed to be here soaking up the sun! Also, I just love missionaries! Genuinely, being here with 400 other 18-22 year olds is so fun! Everyone, has the exact same life here, so we all connect pretty well! 

 The Spanish is getting a whole lot better! I feel like I'm finally starting to catch on a bit to the grammar! But I still have a long way to go! This week we started full immersion so it's been a fun but hard adjustment, let's just say I'm a whole lot more quiet in class. 

 Honestly, not much happened this week, we went to class, played some volleyball and ultimate frisbee, and hit the help desk. Just the usual here at the CCM! This week I had to say goodbye to Elder Thurman which was so sad, because he was the last bit of my BYU home and he's pretty fun to have at the CCM! He's gonna do big things in Guatemala though, so I'm really excited for him! Luckily, I ran into Hermana Weaver, who is a mutual friend of all my friends from college so we have told everyone that we were best friends before the mish at BYU! 
Adios Elder Thurman :(

 Also, everyone pray for our dear soldier Hermana Gines, poor girl got "dear john'd" this week. For all of y'all who don't know what that means it's when you had a boyfriend or girlfriend before you came and they dumped you while you are out in your service. Military or missionary. We have all been pretty invested in her life, and who knows maybe she can marry an Uruguayan!!

 I'm sad to say that, I have tripped and ate dirt a total of 4 times since I have been here. I swear the CCM has boobie trapped sidewalks! So apparently pray that I learn how to walk so that I can stop embarrassing myself!

This weeks spiritual thought actually comes from the blessing I received last Sunday! One of the elders gave me a blessing and it was super spiritual! The whole sistrict got blessings and they were awesome! I was reminded of a quote that my mom so beautifully drew on the back of my Book of Mormon that I have been studying all week, and it says "Faith can move Mountains". Which takes me to the scripture Matthew 17:20 
"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."!  
I know that through God all things are possible! 
I love the Mexico City temple!

So to RAP this week up (me and my comps made this up) enjoy: 

Once I was in the CCM 
Livin' on a prayer I said AMEN 
One day, I lost my pen in scripture study 
I also have to go to the bathroom with a buddy 

Here on the mish we wear these tags 
We tell all these people "HEY HAGS" 
Have A Great Sallllllvaaaaationnn 
Stayin away from temptationsss. 

WORD- The sight and sound sisters.

 I love and miss y'all so much! Have the best week and feel free to write me an email! ❤️ love you all! GOD IS SO GOOD!

Dad: Thanks for taking me to Guatemala a whole lot. I'm giving a lot of great advice to the missionaries heading there! 
Mom: I've been really promoting One Common Thread here! 
Colton: Loving the new heart theme my oldest brother put on our messenger chat!
Caryn: When I show people pics of our fam they think you're my sister! So I took the compliment!
Taylor: Glad you could hop on the call a bit last week! 
Bailey: Let me know how OC is. I'm meeting so many Californians. So I ask if they know you since you live there lol! 
Clay: I really like your zambas and hat ngl!
Lexi: Weird that your missionary Samsung somehow "glitched" onto my Facebook account... weird coincidence 
Bella: I knew about the coworker. It's a sad reality.
Collins: I have read your testimony probably a bazillion times this week!
Capri: I'm pretty lucky Collins sends me your testimony because I have showed the video to literally everyone I know! I can definitely feel Jesus and Nephi in my heart sometimes too!
Kash: I keep calling you my nieto.. it's pretty awkward

Cape Giardeau Missouri June 2025 Hi y’all!! Crazy that this will be your last email from me! Where did all the time go? Ending my mission is so bittersweet—it truly has been the greatest time of my life. And y’all, let me tell you, this last week was no exception. We ended my time in the MSLM with a bomb week! So let’s get into it! This week, Sister Richins and I were reaping the blessings from our diligence the week prior. We had set up sooo many appointments for ourselves last week, so this week was just lesson after lesson! It was genuinely a blast!! We have made the COOLEST friends—Lyla, Adam, JJ, and J-Money (his name is Jaylen, but he told us to call him J-Money...

Y’all, we actually had a pretty solid and super odd week—lol! Also, the title comes from the fact that my companion quotes this from   Saturday's Warrior   every morning... and it’s pretty much us! 💁‍♀️😜 First off, y’all,   Regi LOVED church!   He asked us if he could come back and we invited him to be baptized! He said YES! So we are working for May 24th with him! I am a little nervous, though, because he lives with a bunch of people from the street. It’s ...
