<b>TUESDAY</b> we visited Manti, where i went with Tyler's family for a wedding about 2 weeks after we started dating. Manti holds such a special place in our hearts! it was so fun to go back again. we took dozens of pictures at the Temple and visited places we went 2 years ago. such a fun day together. clue #3 came later as well :)<br />

<b>WEDNESDAY</b> was amazing. we relived PROM! man it was so special. Tyler took me to eat at the Communal - where we had dinner on prom night... then we went where we had prom and danced under the gazebo and lights to our favorite Disney music. wow i loved it. then we headed up to a little cabin in Sundance and cuddled in a heated blanket. magical.<br />

<br />
<b>THURSDAY</b> was seriously amazing! how Tyler managed to plan this one all out, is beyond me. he's incredible. we drove up Spanish Fork canyon into Schofield where his family owns a cabin. we did have to walk quite a ways up in there since our cute new little Mazda can't make it on the snow. but we took pictures before hand and made the trek up in the snow! i walked in to a homemade candlelit dinner... roses, candles, sparkling cider, music... (!!!!!!!!!!!!) <i>holy romantic!</i> and i had no idea. we had dinner together listening to our favorite Disney music just like 2 years ago. Tyler even printed out letters we wrote each other on our missions and we reminisced by the fire. man i loved it so much.<br />

<b>FRIDAY</b> was spent at Mountain View! since we share sooooooo many memories there. when we were just friends, but it also holds a special place in our hearts since it's where we told each other we loved one another. we took pictures in the photo studio where we had class together, and snuck into the bruin bowl. felt so crazy to be back after so long. Tyler is so sentimental!<br />

<b>SATURDAY</b> was pretty awesome because this moment that we relived really wasn't long ago. we went to the airport and remembered when we stepped off the airplane after serving our missions. Tyler wasn't there when i walked off, but i was there when he did. and man, that hug was so worth the wait! (also how cute that he had us where our AZ + Toronto hats????)<br />

<br />
<b>SUNDAY</b> was the greatest of them all. all week long i had wondered if any one of those magical dates would include a proposal but after a week of them i was sure it was all just for fun. especially because the 'clue' on Saturday night for Sunday's date was just the hint that we were watching Inside Out. so Sunday evening that's what we did! but after that, Tyler blindfolded me and we ended up in the canyon. Tyler led me to 6 different trees, all which had lit up balls in them.... with pictures of the past week. <i>CORE MEMORIES!!!! </i>how cute eh??? after gathering all 6, Tyler led me over to a lit up tree and pointed to another ball, with a ring box inside... and said "<u>this</u> will be our greatest memory yet." then he told me how much he loved me and wanted to spend eternity with me. he promised to always serve me, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. without hesitation but tears streaming down my face <i>i said YES!!!!!</i><br />

after kissing and hugging and laughing and smiling for a good 10 minutes, both mine and his siblings + parents ran out from the bushes to congratulate us! +++ pull out treats and hot cocoa and take 1000 more pictures. it was so perfect. there was so much happiness there!<br />
<br />
<b>Tyler and I will be sealed for time and all eternity in the Payson Utah Temple on March 12, 2016.</b><br />
<br />
we can hardly wait! <i>we are pretty giddy and in love. </i>i just can't believe how creative and amazing Tyler is, i don't know how i will ever repay him for it. also, can't wait to share this story with our kids one day.<br />

I'M JUST SO GIDDY AND IN LOVE. <i>life is perfect, because i'm with him.</i>KEENA PEERYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04928747190010234817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689130036605196407.post-4723382635457780012015-11-23T13:05:00.000-07:002015-11-23T13:06:28.685-07:00REUNITED.the long awaited reuniting blog post :) excited? holy cow i am! do you know how long Tyler and i have waited for this day????? well, 730 days... 104 weeks.... 2 YEARS. i really feel like "i cannot say the smallest part which i feel" when it comes to that long awaited hug. yes it was perfect because we have dreamed of experiencing that together for much too long! i am eternally grateful Tyler chose to serve a mission. and i am eternally grateful that because he served, i had the desire to as well. it changed the both of us, and we learned to love and appreciate each other every single day we were apart. i love him with all my heart, and though this was one of the hardest things i have ever done, and some days i thought it would never end, <i>it did. </i>and boy oh boy, was it worth it. that distance only made our hearts grow stronger! and we are <i>happier than ever!</i><br />

^^^ i can't even tell you how happy i was to see that thing so full. DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY STAMPS THAT IS???? Tyler is home now and it is AMAZING (ill post more about that soon!) but as the days were numbered before he arrived home, i couldn't help but just stand in <i>awe </i>that these 2 years have actually gone by. some days, i NEVER thought that day would come. those really really long days where i missed him dearly. i have stamped this thing since day 1! haha one by one... it seemed like it took forever. anyways... seeing it filled was a happy day!!!<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">^^^so im actually recovering from 3 surgeries, a bone infection in my tailbone/body, and a 4 day hospital..."trip". its been quite the process/adventure. a few set backs but also miracles have occurred and im just grateful everything is happening when it is. as hard as it is sometimes to deal with all this right now, it has been a miracle just to find answers since i have been dealing with this since i was 13. and this is going to be the end of it! im kinda done talking about it all the time though... haha sooooo we're done with that. </span></div>

be back soon kids! --- "<i>the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is all we need."</i>KEENA PEERYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04928747190010234817noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689130036605196407.post-82567627841197804292015-11-12T22:02:00.003-07:002015-11-12T22:17:58.596-07:00upon returning, part 1HOLA! soooooo to be honest, i am not sure how i feel about coming back to the blogging world. serving my mission changed my life and it means everything to me... and it has been hard for me to step back into the real world and especially to do <i>everything </i>that i once did before my mission. even if it is keeping my online journal :) i have dreaded hopping back on my blog and am still not sure i will continue it but at least 100 people have asked me if i am going to continue blogging and update you all on LIFE.<br />
<br />
with that said, the reason i love blogging is because i just love to have a space where i can post all the pictures i take and actually remember the little details about my everyday life! which is why i had my mom keep my blog updated while i was on my mission.... so i can look back at those weekly emails and miracles with all the pictures! and to one day show my future children + posterity.<br />
<br />
even though i am not quite sure how often ill be blogging... i thought i would at least share a few pictures of the things that have happened in the last 2 months upon returning <i>home. </i>and actually, since there aren't just "a few" this will have to happen in 2 posts, hence, the part 1!<br />
<br />
so, onward! lots of pictures updating on whats been happenin ova here as of late.<br />

^^^ General Conference!!! MAN i love it so much. every time. i grew <i>such a deep love </i>for General Conference as a missionary. it really is like CHRISTMAS! my family and i were able to go up and see it live at the Conference center and we absolutely loved it. how lucky we are to receive such divine revelation from living Prophets and Apostles of God. alsooooooo i was able to meet Dawn Armstrong from the movie <i>Meet the Mormons! </i>she is such a doll and a huge inspiration to so many.<br />

^^^ i got a job!!! an amazing job that i love so much. im a CNA at Provo Rehab and Nursing. it is so fulfilling, and i just feel like it's another transfer :) my next step in life. the next thing my Father in Heaven wants me to do. i help people all day long and i have developed such a love for these people. which is why <i>i love work! </i>unfortunately i am on a bit of a medical leave of absence because of all my tailbone issues (which is a whole other story...) but i can't wait to go back. this job was such an answer to so many of my prayers!<br />
<br />
<br />
so anyways, hey guys, im back! it's hard to even scratch the surface the way i feel about my mission and i hope to continue to express my love for it + the deep love i have for the Gospel of Jesus Christ... AND missionary work! but blogging and social media in general is such a resource to spread that love! so here i am, a changed Hermana Keena :) xx<br />

ps:<i> shoutout to my lovers! </i>thank you for all the love and support. also, part 2 comin soon.KEENA PEERYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04928747190010234817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689130036605196407.post-84186811946037435512015-09-17T14:58:00.002-06:002015-09-17T15:06:00.158-06:00HOME.<div style="text-align: center;">

...from my full time service to the Lord. it absolutely changed my life... and i already miss it so much! i learned how to rely on Christ. i learned how to love people and <i>give everything for them. </i>i learned how to use the Atonement of Jesus Christ. i learned the importance of <i>always </i>putting the Lord and His gospel first <i>no matter what! </i>i learned the importance of missionary work, and most importantly, i learned the importance of my lifelong commitment as a disciple of Jesus Christ. i know He lives! </div>

soooo as many of you are aware, i have been struggling a LOT with my tailbone problems as of the last 2 months. i haven't mentioned a lot in previous emails but it has been pretty bad since about June (and for those who don't know i have had problems with it since i was 13...) it has gotten a lot worse and i have been battling the pain since then. it's a different pain... a lot worse than before my mission :( and it was scary, because we aren't exactly sure what is wrong. i am so grateful for the Lord though, because since then, He has REALLY helped me to do His will... and to really work hard. there are things He needed me to do in His service! there is a lot of other things that happened in between August and now (contact with my Mission President + parents, Canadian walk in clinics (that were pointless) and lots of prayer) but basically after deciding i was going to pray to receive the strength and health to keep going, the Lord had another plan. this past Monday night i received the strongest impression and answer to prayers that i really needed. it is truly amazing how perfectly our Father in Heaven knows us. i<i> knew </i>in that moment, that i had finished the work the Savior wanted me to do, and that it was time to go home and take care of my tailbone. Tuesday was just a real confirmation of that answer to prayers, since i was in horrible pain <i>allllll day!!! </i>my Mission President and i had a conference call with my parents, and it only took us all a matter of 30 seconds before we realized we were all on the same page and i needed to go home. i felt really at peace about it at this point.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
i had my interview with President on Thursday morning (which was absolutely <i>amazing)</i>... jumped on an airplane to Minneapolis, had a 3 hour lay over (i was alone and it was so weird! haha) then flew to SLC and landed at 7:30. it was an amazing reunion with my family.... words don't even describe! it was emotional and spiritual and i am so glad it was captured on video. </div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
i wish i could describe in this email what my mission meant to me. it absolutely changed my life! and basically... as said in Alma 26:16... <b>"i cannot say the smallest part which i feel" </b>i know this Gospel is true, and i know it was restored by the Prophet Joseph Smith. i know Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. <i>i KNOW that He LIVES! </i>i know it. and i love Him. i thought it would feel so different and sad to "take the badge off" but it hasn't, because it's truly engraved upon my heart. the mission really changed my life. i know my purpose in life, and it will always be the same! to <b>invite others to come unto Christ. </b><i>the church is TRUE!</i> and i will always be, <i>a disciple of Christ.</i></div>

YES! the Gospel is <i>all about </i>progression! on to receiving the Priesthood and going to the Temple :) i am so proud of him. every single day he tells us he is so happy to be making this change in his life.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">we had a great week! we have still been super busy which i love. i love when the Lord puts us to work :) our mission is changing! we are applying and learning new things, to become a full force member-missionary proselyting program. which is going to be awesome, because that work is what helps people stay active in the Gospel. a friend for those investigating the church makes all the difference... and its <i>so much better </i>if the friend is the one who introduces them to the church! i'm loving applying everything. it's really making us do things differently but it's what the Lord wants and what our mission needs.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

SO COOL! Leonardo told us he had been to church a few times with his mom and when we asked him if he believed its true he said <i>YES! </i>Sister Meleisea invited him to be baptized, and he committed to prepare. gotta get him to the Temple!<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">we've been doing all we can to work with more and more less actives to get them to the Temple. i was so happy in church yesterday because the chapel looked so much more FULL than previous weeks. commitment to living the Gospel and making it a part of <i>who we are </i>is so important. the Gospel has changed my life. i know what it means and how important it is to <i>ALWAYS </i>put Jesus Christ first. this work is incredible!<u></u><u></u></span></div>

this week was absolutely incredible. all because of yesterday. seriously it was just absolutely amazing. seeing that beautiful family be baptized was one of the greatest things i have ever seen. aren't they amazing?</div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
the baptismal service was so great. Yuri and Teri were both so happy,as were the little girls. when Teri was baptized, the spirit just FILLED the room. and when he came out of the water little Tyra said "wow that was beautiful!" awwwwwwww. Yuri (the wife/mom) bore her testimony after about how her prayers have been answered... how she has hoped and dreamed for this since she got married and how happy she was. we were all crying so much! this family is going to be eternal! next step.... <i>the temple.</i> i love the Sabado family so so so much!! <i>that, is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. that, is missionary work.</i></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
here is another huge miracle of the week! so we were really struggling to find this week... we have been meeting with a TON of less actives in the ward to help strengthen the ward and bring back some members... which has been really great!! we have a returning member named Shalom who is preparing to go to the temple on September 5! woo! i know the Lord is just as happy when we have people get to the temple, as He is when we help people enter into the waters of baptism. anyways, so we were struggling to find new, and Saturday night comes... we had so many appointments! so we decided to go on splits. which i love doing. anyways, Hermana Sandorf and Diana (a ward missionary) found a new investigator named Justin... then Sunday after church we didn't have much proselyting time (about an hour before our lesson with the Castro's) but the first bus we hop on there was a young guy on the phone... didn't look too Spanish but we talked to him once we got off. he knows a TON about the church and has been going in Spain since he was 16. he is SO PREPARED! he told us he has no idea why he never got baptized... he went to the bishop and asked to serve a mission but remembered he never got baptized haha. funny huh? he's way cool. can't wait to teach him.</div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
anyways, we're finding tons of miracles, teaching lots of amazing people, and helping people to progress. i am LOVING every minute of every day right now... i seriously am in love with the mission! even with all my random and annoying health problems, i am loving every single day. this work is real and true and i love it. i love Jesus Christ. i know He lives. </div>

​hola familia! y mis queridos amigos. this week was pretty chalk full of meetings. we had 2 8-10 hour meetings, and 1 that was about 5 hours. we had a very limited amount of proselyting time but we made the best of it and were still able to teach a LOT of lessons! which was awesome. our investigators are slowly progressing. we are now teaching a part member family again that i taught for the full 6 months i was in Toronto last year, the Castros. they are slow to progress and keep commitments, but they are a wonderful family and we are going to see what we can do to help them become an eternal family :)</div>

President Clayton is a very inspired man. i heard the same instruction for the work of salvation for our mission 3 times in a row this week, and i was super grateful for it, because this mission is <i>changing!!! </i>​we are now implementing more of a member missionary work proselyting program (something we have been trying to do all year... ) but the area 70 has given us an amazing promise if we do so. he said that if we go about teaching, teaching and teaching (members, investigators, returning members, and new converts) that "the Lord will place people in your path that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise." i <i>really do know </i>that this is from the Lord. that it is HIS vision! i really felt that. (by the 3rd meeting :) just kidding) it will be amazing though. lots of little changes are occuring, and i am so excited to see the fruits from it! i testify, that in this work <i>WE ARE ONE! </i>family and friends, this work is the Lord's work. and we are so blessed to be a part of it,<b><i>together.</i></b> watch this video this week! and apply what President Monson has taught us "now is the time!" <a href="https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2013-06-001-we-are-one?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.lds.org/<wbr></wbr>media-library/video/2013-06-<wbr></wbr>001-we-are-one?lang=eng</a></div>

man i learned so much this week. i love the Lord. i love that i get to labor alongside Him. i love that He loves us each personally and perfectly. i love that He has given <i>everything </i>for US. </div>

miracle of the week: we have a ton of food thanks to my mom AND we have dinner appointments. God is good :) no the real miracle of the week is the fact that the Sabado family passed their baptismal interview and are getting baptized next week!!!! WOOOOO!!</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">

hola hola! this week has been challenging and long, but we have seen a lot of miracles as well. my new companion is Hermana Sandorf, she is also from Utah. we came out together as well! we are "whitewashing" into Christie East which in mission vocab means we are both ​new to the area..... which means the area needs saving and strengthening! we walked in to just 1 investigator but he does have a baptismal date! we have been in solid finding mode this week. talking to lots of people and hunting down the Spanish :) i have been in Toronto for most of my mission now, (i love it!!!) and because i came into this ward a year ago at this time... i feel like a brand new baby missionary again! so weird cause i feel like a whole new person now. its crazy how fast time flies, and how much you can change while in the service of the Lord. i truly love Him. i have felt so comforted this week, i know He never leaves my side. i'm so grateful that He understands me perfectly. i love Jesus Christ. </div>

Martin is the biggest miracle of the week - our investigator who is preparing for baptism. we met him finally <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1206044568" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> and followed up with the Word of Wisdom... and he wants to quit so bad! he just kept saying "i don't want to do these things anymore. i want to find that piece that is missing in my life. i want to be closer to God." he is awesome. he received a priesthood blessing last night from our WML... and we are praying he quits everything <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1206044569" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Friday</span></span> and comes to church! another awesome part of the week was when Timothy got baptized! i am so happy for him :)</div>

something i have learned this week is how much we depend on God in this work. i really know that it is His. i have fallen to my knees a lot this week for guidance, and i know it has worked because i know we have been in places where He has needed us to be. following the Spirit is so key as a missionary! </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">to my surprise, i received a transfer call...im leaving Toronto East! but i'm not going far :) im heading back to Spanish work, to Christie East. my new companion is Hermana Sandorf and we are making the area a Sister Traning Leader area! this means i am heading back to the Christie ward! (the ward i was born into last year with my trainer) Toronto just can't get rid of me :) i literally did not see this coming one bit. i was <i>SO SURE</i> i was staying here! but back i go to my beloved hermanas y hermanos en el barrio Christie :) i love them. i am a little sad, because we have 5 solid people who are being baptized in August into the Toronto ward... but i will be in the same chapel so looks like i will just be sneaking over to see them :) i will also miss my companions so much, the people we are teaching, as well as the members who i have really gotten to know so well in just 6 weeks. this has definitely been one of my favorite transfers of my whole mission!!!<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">we had such a great week! :) we achieved a lot of our goals and are still teaching and finding like crazy. it has been so awesome! i am so excited and happy for Timothy, who is going to be baptized <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_895074804" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Sunday</span></span>. he passed his interview yesterday and was so happy to plan his baptism! when we taught him the 10 commandments this week we asked them how he felt about them. he just looked down at the Book of Mormon and said, "i love them." awwww it was so cute. man i can't even tell you how much love i have for the people here. and guess who else came to church yesterday? the Sabado family! i have talked about them a lot.... because seriously they are amazing. sadly they have a lot of legal things going on right now that didn't go well this week but when we asked Teri (the dad) if he still wants to be baptized on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_895074805" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">August 16</span></span>, he said "yes yes, that is what we are working towards as a family." my heart just melted!!! Teri told the family too that in the mornings they need to have scripture study together, then he showed up with the kids at church yesterday and absolutely loved it. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">we went on exchanges this week with other STL's that are from the far east. a sister came with us that had never been on a bus or subway before, and had never seen the CN tower, never really been in the actually city. haha it was so fun cause she was so wide-eyed all day! it is funny cause a lot of areas in this mission are like walking into a whole new country.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">also here is a cool moment of the week... totally the hand of the Lord: we were at a members home having dinner and they invited a friend (awesome member missionaries!) so we taught about Joseph Smith. the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was playing in the background all night, and right when Sister Bott started quoting the first vision, Joseph Smith's first prayer came on in the background. literally like, "i saw a piller of light..." and "oh how lovely was the morning!" at the same time. such a movie moment! God is so cool :)<u></u><u></u></span></div>

oh man. as i sit down to write this email today and think about this past week, i can't help but feel so grateful for the blessings God poured down upon us. He is way too good to us. so many prayers were answered, and we saw so many miracles... i don't even know where to start! definitely one of the GREATEST weeks of my whole whole mission!!!!</div>

well, first off... i am in a trio. again :) my 4th trio haha! which is awesome cause i LOVE them. i was on exchanges with a sister <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1595957970" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on Tuesday</span></span></span> night and we got a call from President saying there was going to be an emergency transfer since a sister had to go home. luckily Sister Mencarelli or i didn't leave! i was so nervous. Sister Bott joined us <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1595957971" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on Wednesday</span></span></span> :) she was already serving in our ward as well so we have just combined areas for the last 3 weeks of the transfer. i love her! she is so great! </div>

miracle #1 is TIMOTHY! so i mentioned him last week... we found his name on a potential list one night and gave him a call. we have been teaching him a LOT since he is super prepared and already feels in his heart that the church is true.... and he came to church yesterday! he will be getting baptized in 2 weeks :) i am so excited for him. last night we taught him family history and temples and he LOVED it! he is excited to go to the temple and be baptized for his dad :) he is from Sudan.</div>

miracle #2 would be the amazing part member family we are teaching, the Sabados. they are from the Philippians... (mom, Yuri, is a member, dad no) and the lesson we had <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1595957972" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on Friday</span></span></span> was definitely one of the coolest experiences i have ever been a part of. hands down <i>one of the best moments of my whole mission!</i> last week as we were teaching the 2 little girls, Trisha 9 and Tyra 8... and we asked the dad, Teri, if he wanted to learn more. it was our first time meeting him and he said he did! so <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1595957973" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on Friday</span></span></span> we taught their family the Restoration of the Gospel through Joseph Smith. oh man it was SO hot in there. and all the little kids (5 of them...) were being so so loud that we felt like Teri couldn't even hear anything we were teaching. but when we shared the First Vision, we invited Teri to read it. the spirit<i> filled</i> the room, and we could all feel it so strong even with the little kids screaming. when we asked him if he believes it is true he said, "yes i believe it! this really touched my heart today." we invited him to be baptized, and before i could even finish the invitation he said "yes yes YES!" him and his 2 little girls accepted a baptismal date for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1595957974" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">August 16</span></span></span>!!!! we were all in awe. MIRACLES are real. and the little girl Tyra said, hey i will be baptized for my birthday! Teri said the closing prayer, thanking Heavenly Father for his family and him and Yuri were both crying. im tearing up just thinking about it! because there is a lot of things going on in their family right now (a huge misunderstanding and legal complexity) we have been praying for them like crazy and weren't sure if they were going to make it to church. but there we are sitting in Sacrament meeting yesterday, and in walks <i>the entire Sabado family!!!! </i>Sister Mencarelli and i just looked at each other and cried!!! i can't even express my joy to you knowing this amazing little family is preparing to be baptized and go to the temple to have their prayers answered and be an <b>ETERNAL FAMILY<i> </i></b><3 are="" class="aBn" data-term="goog_1595957975" fhe="" having="" span="" tabindex="0" them="" we="" with=""><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">tonight</span></span><!--3--></3></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">we have been SO busy! this week just flew past my eyes. don't even know how it is July. with lots going on the days and weeks are flying. it hasn't been that warm here #canada. but we are finally getting above 30 C! woo hoo! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">we are teaching like crazy. it has been awesome! we are teaching Golam still who is progressing faithfully. it has been different to teach him and he has a lot of questions</span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">and not much of a Christian background.</span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">. </span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">but h</span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">e is also the most open person in the world! we are also teaching the cutest lady in the world named Joyce. she is from Uganda and is still learning English so she says the cutest things like "Jesus lovin me" "you come teach me and me happy. before me cry." awwww she is adorable. also, Timothy. an awesome new investigator who has decided he wants to be baptized. we are struggling big time on getting people to come to church. it really is the worst when they commit to come, and you stand there waiting and they don't show up... "noooooo not again!" hahaha. but the members here are great too, we are loving getting to know all of them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">i had another exchange this week with Sister Tang. she came to work in our area and we had an awesome day together! she is a great missionary. i also went to my first MLC meeting. Missionary Leadership Council. the Spirit was so strong. i really am learning so much as a missionary. about what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ for the rest of my life. who have i become? how can i continue inviting others to Come unto Christ even when i am not a full time missionary? Christ is everything. and i will always continue to serve Him. i am so grateful He knows and loves me personally. i love Him.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">the Gospel is true and real and is being spread all over the world. the Lord needs us! this is His work and His glory, and He invites us to invite others to come with us as we strive to be like Him and endure to the end. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">there is a quote by Elder Holland for missionaries that i really love, that talks about how we only get one chance to serve a mission. there is a part in it that really motivates me everyday, at the end he says <b>"come out of your mission <i>proud </i>of what you have done."</b> i want that so bad. i want to give every last ounce of energy to it. and all the hardships and all the tears really will be looked back upon as the greatest 18 months of my life, because it has <i>changed </i>my life. i want to give it everything i have and do <i>all i can </i>to bring souls unto Christ. i truly love this work so much!<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">this week was so so great! i have actually always had this dream that i could serve in YSA... i just never knew how that could happen as a Spanish missionary. but it did happen! and even if it was just for a week, i absolutely loved it. LOVED IT! Sister Herfort and i worked super hard this week, and it definitely paid off :) before i left Mississauga last week, i prayed really really <i>really </i>hard to Heavenly Father, that i could know every single day while in this new area, that this is where i am supposed to be. (since it was so hard for me to say bye to Mississauga, but i really wanted to accept God's will.) and it came to pass.... <b><i>every single day!</i></b><i> </i>it was mostly with people i would talk to on the street or the bus.... where i knew that the Lord placed me in their paths for a reason. some of which were very faithful Muslim and Jewish people who accepted a Book of Mormon and wanted to learn more. God answers prayers! i know He knows me personally. i am so grateful that He is right beside me in this work. Heavenly Father really does want to bless His children. and He really did send me here for a reason.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

Sister Training Leader means i'll have the opportunity to go on exchanges with the sisters here. it humbles me a lot to know the Lord and President Clayton are trusting me with so much. it surely helps you grow and learn so much! my new companion is Sister Mencarelli :) i have served along side her for a lot of my mission and i LOVE her! i can't wait to serve with her. also she is a convert from Italy... yes she is amazing.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

"i want to read this book!" i was super nervous to ask him for his age hahaha since we only teach people 18-30 here. he's 38 but he was such a miracle. i love sharing the Book of Mormon with all of God's children!<u></u><u></u></span></div>
