Last Letter!!

"We are all baby gods"

^^direct quote from President Pack @ zone conference.

Holaaaa Familiaaa,

This week was gr8. We have seen great miracles with Erika and Orianna! This week when we visited them Erika was like "Hermanas, you need to teach Orianna about the Mormon commandments" (she was referring to palabra de Sabiduría because last week when she came to church we talked about it and Orianna is addicted to coffee) anyways we were a little bit hesitant but Erika was literally forcing it on us so we were like fineeee and we taught it and Orianna seemed to be fine with it! She keeps saying things like "so when I'm a Mormon, can I ? I can't?" And things like that! So hopefully they will get baptized here soon!

Zone Conference was so great. This time Pres and hermana pack just kept things really simple. Like we talked about the Jose Smith story, and I went back and reread Jose Smith historia and how the angel Moroni warned him that people would tempt him to use the gold plates for money, even his (poor) family, and dang, he just had things so hard but I like that one scripture that's like other than Jesus Christ, he's the one thats done the most for our Salvacion. Pres Pack also told us he wants us to go to every house and teach the restoration in lesson than 5 minutes, and my oh my how I love doing this, the spirit is so strong every time and in 5 minutes the only thing you have time for is the most important things, it's cool. We also talked about faith. At this zone conference there is ten of us going home so they applied it basically to our lives and how sometimes we just have to take a step in the dark, we might be scared, but we gotta do something! We also talked about who we are--children of God (see subject line).

I probably won't email next week so this is my last, so I will leave you all with my testimony. This week Jen emailed me and said she loves to read my emails because I always talk about miracles.  Well, that's probably the number reason I love the mission, because miracles exist, and we can see them in our own lives! Why? Because we have a Father in Heaven who loves us and as long as we are doing what we need to do and exercise faith we will be blessed. I know that Jose Smith is a profeta De Dios, that God and Jesus Christ appeared to him and through him, restored the true church. We can know this through the Book of Mormon, the word of God, another testament of Jesus Christ. As we study it, and apply what we learn we have the power of God in our lives. I know this church is true, and Christ lives. I'm very grateful for this year and a half to serve my Heavenly Father. I love you all, see you all very soon ((make sure it's not till Tuesday please aka stay far away from me Sunday night and Monday)).

Con mucho amor,

Hermana Robertson❤

Holaaa Familiaaaa

This week was pretty great. Wednesday was a super good day. We ate  

with Catholic man, he made us some bomb fried chicken. It was super good, he made a ton though and he made us each so much, we're convinced we each at a whole chicken. After we shared a video about the important things in life, it was good. After we had a lesson with a JAS kid, he is friends with one of the JAS here, it was a good lesson. He is atheist but he says he's willing to read the Book of Mormon. After that we went to the church to have another lesson, the man ended up not showing up so our back up plan was to visit this less active family. Nobody has had success visiting them and the ward hasn't had contact with them all this year, but we felt like we needed to go. We did and we got there and there building was charred and there was a car just burnt out of its mind. Luckily, the door to the building was open((aka we could go straight up instead of having to doorbell them at the bottom)) and so we went up and lo and behold, they let us in. They explained what happened, how the night before in the middle of the night the car started on fire and how they all had to go to the roof and breathe through like wet rags and they said they were scared and that they need to start fulfilling with their convents and said would come to church!!!((sad news: they didn't come to church 😭)) Anyways it was huge miracle that we visited them when we did and huge miracle that we saw them. Just builds my testimony of planning and then following through with your plans, miracles happen. That was like the highlight of my week. Saturday night we had a little game night in the church with the jas and it was bomb, it was tons of fun. We have a new addiction! Around the world!! 🌎 where everybody has a ping pong paddle 🏓 and takes turn running and hitting it back and forth, it's super fun. Anyways it was a good night, but it makes me sad because i just love all these people and i don't want to leave them 😢 I'm thinking about moving back to Santa Cruz 🌊 🌴☀️❤ I'm literally so feliz right now!!!!!!!

 

Ok love you all have a good week!!!! HAPPY 4 TH OF JULYYY enjoy the fireworks 💥 🔥 today we had a little Fourth of July picnic with the campbells in the forest!!!! Also went shopping cause some bomb sales are happening, sorry.

Con cariño,Hermana Robertson🖤🖤🖤🖤

holaaa familaaa
 

MIRACLE OF THE WEEK: so this week we set up an appointment with erika and orianna at 430 and we went to their house and they werent home and we called and nodbody answered so we were a little dissapointed and moved on with our day and at 5:30 erika called us and was like where are you? arent you coming at 530 and *facepalm* because we literally at the doorway of our next lesson and the rest of our night was full. so thursday her other daughter that is 21 moved here from venezuela so she wanted us to come over friday morning to meet her and eat some hamburgers. right before we were about to leave erika texted us and was like its gonna be like 2 hours we have to go work on some paperwork, we´ll let you know when we are home. ok, no problem, she never texted us. how weird we thought. we tried calling her saturday to see what happened and see if she could come to church but no answer. dang. so that brings us to sunday, hj and i are standing at the door greeting people when erika and orianna and their other sister turn the corner!!!!!!!!!! we literally lost it. they were also ten minutes early which is a miracle in and of itself because not even the members can be on time, dang. week made.

also, week made when the Campbells took us and the elders and our ward mission leader all out to lunch after our little reunion saturday.

also week made when one of our lessons failed we decided to pass by some members and told us we came right when they need it and made us some of the best arepas of my life.

also week made at ndh. hj and i killed the lesson ((like always)) and then after the elders came in clutch with the game. so their was probably like 15 of us and we were all kneeling down around a ping pong table and you had to like blow the ball and if it rolled of the table in front of you were out, everybody loved it, it was hilarioussss. i will try to get some vids.

all in all, this week was one for the books. santa cruz is probably my #1 fav place in the world, yes the fact that its an island with beautiful beaches and forests and active volcanos is cool, also the perfect weather but most of all, what makes it #1 is the people. they are so willing to do anything for us, and me for them. i'm beyond grateful for my time year and i really am just going to try to make the most of these last two weeks. we have zone conference friday in another island friday which im excited for but i don't have time to be traveling right now. ok love you all!!!!!!!

 Beautiful Hermanas!
