Hermana Aubrey Frank / Nicaragua Managua South Mission

It has been a truly great week! I have a million pictures I meant to send last week!! (Some really old birthday pics) This week we helped a super cool family move into their house and we ate a lot a lot of tacos.  Our favorite members the Munoz fam moved to Colorado and we are so so sad. We went on another hike for p-day & we had zone conference (so good). Miracle: we had a lesson with a very promising family who we have been teaching for a couple weeks now.  They have baptismal dates and have been reading in the Book of Mormon, we just love them to death.  When we got to the appointment they told us they were no longer interested in taking lessons... wow, very unexpected.  When we walked away we decided we wouldn't be discouraged because we knew if we had faith, the Lord would place the prepared in our path.  As we walked down the street away from their house a car pulled up next to us and rolled down their window.  They wanted to know if we spoke Sp...

I cannot believe it has gone so fast. Also I'm 20 years old & I still look like I'm 14!  We ate so much cake & cupcakes and I even got a cake smashed in my face. the members are so kind they just give us random stuff for my birthday.  For p-day we hiked to a waterfall and it was beautiful!! I'M TRAINING AGAIN!! I'm staying in Palmdale another transfer at least and I'm training another greenie! Her name is Hermana Cummings from Washington DC and she is SO fun! IT SNOWED YES IT SNOWED IN PALMDALE CALIFORNIA... FOUR TIMES!! It hasn't snowed here for 15 years! We were in part member families house for a pass off lesson when the investigator, Juan Carlos, randomly decided he needed to get up and look outside. He announced it was snowing and we all ran outside and played in the snow with their family. Then they gave us chamomile tea and cheese rolls. Literally best day ever!! Yesterday at church a less active member came to church for the first time in y...

Oh hello!! Not too much has happened.. just Thanksgiving, Christmas, new years, my 10 month mark AND our temple trip! Hermana Meldrum & I are having a literal blast.  We are SToKED to finally be wearing pants & the mish gave us 100 bucks to purchase them. M Russell Ballard is visiting us on January 13th wowowo so exciting!   The light the world initiative was amazinggg this Christmas season.  For one day of service we raked leaves because a lot of people have leaves & they just don't rake em.  We met some of the coolest people who were just so excited that we would rake random peoples lawns for free. For a cute family who is less active, we wrapped all the pieces of a nativity & left each one on thier doorstep everyday leading up to Christmas.  We left a part of the story of Jesus' birth from the bible with every piece. & then finished with Jesus on Christmas day. As we were walking down the street we ran into...

I am so thankful for each & every one of you && this amazing Gospel!  We had thanksgiving with the Pleitez family and we ate a traditional Salvadorean meal called Panes Rellenos! Nope no pie & no turkey! But it was sooo yummy & they shared lots of cool mission stories with us! &&& Hermana Pleitez gave us those cool color changing sequin pillows. Exciting news: I'm a mom!! Im training! My trainee is Hermana Meldrum from Meridian Idaho! She is literally the cutest person you could ever meet and she is 5'9 so I feel a little short sometimes... We have seen so many miracles!  Wednesday was the coldest day of pouring rain & lots of wind!! & we did not want to go proselyting in this weather but we DID and we met SO MANY cool people!! We approached one door & just as we were knocking the door burst open! A big friendly guy named Al opened the door ...
