I didn't burn the house down!!

Hi guys!!!

Another week in Veegs and God continues to bless me every day!

Here are some updates!

- We had zone conference and it was super good! (como siempre) I learn so much every time!!

- We've been going on morning runs to the beach!! It is so beautiful here I'll never get over it

- Yesterday I was doing my hair (as one does), using the same flat iron that I've used for the past 9 months, when all of the sudden... we hear a big boom, a flash of light, and then everything went pitch black. My flat iron literally EXPLODED, in my hands. It was so scary. Then we lost electricity for the day. But its okay cause we're chilling now!!! All is well that ends well 🔥 (pro tip: don't use American heat tools in Europe)

- This weekend we got invited to a quinceañera for one of my FAVORITE member families here and guys I think it was one of the funnest nights ever. Everyone was nonstop dancing and laughing and eating and it was the craziest celebration for the sweetest 15 year old girl wearing the prettiest blue dress. I'm so jealous because I don't understand how every Latino I meet can dance so well. Like everyone here is SO GOOD at dancing. The way they just move their feet and bodies so effortlessly, I've now made it my life mission to learn how to dance like they all can 💃🕺

- We had 14 friends at church yesterday and we are teaching 3 beautiful families. God is preparing so many people here!!! 

But... we also had to take some people off of date this week. People that I KNOW are going to get baptized so super duper soon, but have some things to figure out first, or want to make sure they are keeping their commitments before making this covenant with God. This week was really hard for me because these are people that I have grown to love and care about so much and I just want everything for them. I want them to feel the happiness of this gospel not just now but forever and I didn't understand this week why it's in Gods plan for them to not get baptized right now when they are sooo ready. And I still don't understand. But I continue to learn every day that God's timing is perfect and that everything will work out in the way that he has planned. He knows better than I do. I'm so excited for these people to be in white. Maybe not now but so soon!!

Spiritual Thought! 💒

I finished Alma this week!! Heres some scriptures towards the end that I liked...

33 But behold, we trust in our God who has given us victory over those lands, insomuch that we have obtained those cities and those lands, which were our own. 

34 Now we do not know the cause that the government does not grant us more strength; neither do those men who came up unto us know why we have not received greater strength.

37 But, behold, it mattereth not—we trust God will deliver us, notwithstanding the weakness of our armies, yea, and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies.

This sums up Alma honestly. The Nephites put their trust in God, fought for their freedom and they were delivered. Time and time and time again. I cant imagine all of the times where they felt so defeated, scared, sad or angry. But they never lost sight of God even during the hardest times and that's what kept them on top!

Les quiero muchísimo! Have a good week!! Email me and tell me what's up!! ❤️‍🔥
