March 21, 2016 "I love this gospel and the love and hope it has to offer people"

First I have to say happy birthday to Cooper! I cannot believe you’re going to be 12! And not to mention you’ll get the priesthood! You’re going to be a totally different person when I get home, not to mention I think you’re already taller than me... Anyway happy birthday bud you should write me soon (;

This week has been another good one! No surprise there! For Pday today we went with the Padillas (members in our ward) and they gave us breakfast, let us wash our clothes and all of that!

Then we meet up with the other Hermanas in El Centro to do some shopping and walking around, I found some cute dresses, so score!

As for this week, this last Friday we had a stake Relief Society activity. Each ward in the stake put together a little skit, played songs or whatever together. Our ward, Estadios, did a reenactment of how the relief society came to be through Emma and Joseph Smith. Hna Muro was Emma and sang a little solo at the end of our skit and the other missionaries joined her on the chorus, we sang Fe en cada Paso.. (Faith in Every Footstep) it was a super fun activity. Every ward brought food to share and so there was tostadas, tortillas, basically all really good Mexican food! ha Oh I forgot to mention we all had to dress up as pioneers! I have some good pics :)

Our awesome investigator Ernesto continues to progress but he will be leaving soon to work somewhere else so we won’t be able to teach him. But he talks about getting married in the temple and all of that! He will be here a few more days. We will try to teach him a little here and there. We gave him our contact info so he can tell us when he gets baptized (:

We started teaching a family this last week we met a couple of weeks ago outside their house. Oh my goodness I have so much hope for them. This family, the Castillo’s, are so awesome! They are really open to everything we have to say and the dad knows a lot about the church. He always is talking about temples and Joseph Smith. And they all agreed to be baptized! There are the parents and they have two kids, a daughter that’s 10 and a son that’s 7. So we got three people who hopefully will keep progressing! Our lesson went awesome with them and they said they would read the BOM together. We will see them again Wednesday! Again. lots of hope. I would love nothing more than to help a family go through the temple, what a dream that would be!

 Sunday night we had FHE at the Padilla’s house, they don’t live in our area but they are super close and their son who is less active does live in our area so we all went to their house and watched 17 Miracles and had “Avena”, a super good rice drink. Being able to watch movies is such a luxury thing in the mission.

This Saturday is the Women’s Conference and Hermana Valdivia invited us to eat with her before and go with her to the conference! She’s also going to bring me a tablet so I can watch it in English... ha I hope that works. If not I’ll just have you send me the talks or something (:

I just have to tell you about how grateful I am to the families in this ward here in Tepic! Mainly the Luquin’s ( the bishops fam), the Valdivia’s ( the Relief Society Prez and our ward mission leader) and the Padilla’s ( just really good friends, her daughter is Paola) All three of these families are always feeding us, always making sure we have somewhere to eat, letting us wash our clothes at their houses, inviting us over for breakfast,giving us advice, coming and doing visits with us and so much more! I am so grateful I’ve gotten to get to know these people they have been such a blessing in my life.

Sadly we don’t have tons of progressing investigators; we had a lot that were not progressing so we had to stop visiting them. We have been busy trying to find some. We do have one named Andrea. I’m pretty sure I’ve told you about her.  she’s 19 and has been seeing the missionaries for 4 months. She went to church this Sunday and is preparing for the 9th of April for her baptismal date! It is later because of Conference. We have been working hard with her and I hope she keeps progressing so we can watch her be baptized while we are here!

That’s all I can really think of this week! My Spanish really is better and better every day and I’m so grateful for the gifts of tongues, I love being able to talk to people and help them the best I can. I love this gospel and the love and hope it has to offer people. I’m grateful to be on a mission and having these amazing experiences, I feel blessed every day. I LOVE YOU ALL! Have an amazing week! 

Con amor,

March 14, 2016 "It's Not Supposed to be COLD in Mexico!"

Oh my has this week been a cold one! Wednesday was the coldest day, like tights,jackets, gloves all of that and it was raining to top it all off. We had investigators tell us from their windows to come back another day cause they were too cold to let us in... not like we were standing outside in the cold or anything (;

Coats in Mexico?

But we went to the local OXXO and bought hot chocolate which wasn't something I thought i would do soon! Its slowly getting warm again but the nights are pretty cold. I'm sure later this week will be so hot. We will wonder if it was ever really cold. This p day has been nice and relaxing. We spent it at Paola Padillas house with her mom. Her mom has a salon in the front of her house and so she told us she would make us lunch and give us a much needed pedicure! My feet are now baby smooth (; I'm sure today is the only time I'll get a pedicure in the mission ha. 

Hard life as a missionary :)

This week are investigators have been all over the place. Our golden investigator Ernesto Barrios has the strongest testimony but his job wont let him go to church on Sunday. He will be done with this job he has now in about 2 weeks and he has a lot of debts he needs to pay off. But he says after these 2 weeks he will be 100% into the church. The sad thing is is he will most likely be living outside of our area so we are really sad about that. He fasted this last Sunday to help him find a job that will allow him to go to church but he says it is hard at his age, he's 64 and doesn't have tons of options. He always feels really bad when he can't come to church and when we tell him how important he is he always says its out of his hands and he gets really sad. It's a sad situation all around. Andrea our investigator who should get baptized this month didn't come to church on Sunday and we can't get ahold of her.... we don't know why she didn't show up but now her baptism day is different. We can't see her till Wednesday so like always we will see what happens. She has a strong testimony she just has to come to church! Another one of our investigators named Isais that was preparing for baptism told us in around about way that he doesn't want visits anymore, but he doesn't remember the restoration lesson so we will be teaching him that tonight hopefully we can say something that will help him see that this is the one and only true church. On the brightside we had 3 less actives in church yesterday! One family who haven't been in about 4 months and our dear friend Rafael. Rafael is the one who went to church 2 weeks ago after almost 7 years, he really likes church just not the last hour because we can't sit with him, he feels really intimidated by the priesthood. Hopefully we can change that. The other two are a mom and a son that we found in Col. Centro that have not been visited in a while so we found them and started teaching them and they came!!! WAhoo but right after sacrament they basically ran out. Not very many people like the last 2 hours of church ha. 

We've been exploring our new area a lot this last week and i love this area more and more everyday! We have more less actives to see and there is one family we found that are less active. They LOVE to have us over and offer us tons of food ha. They haven't been taught the actual lessons in a long time so we will start there with them. The wife Ana says she wishes she was Mormon from the time she was born and how she knows her life would have been more blessed. To me she sounds pretty open to learning more and trying to come back to church. Well that's it for this week nothing to crazy! My testimony has grown everyday and the language is coming more and more cada dia!(; I love you all and cant wait to hear more from you next week! (:

March 7, 2016 "Holding Our Breaths and Hoping People Come"

Well this week has again been a busy one. Hermana Muro and I know our way around the area a lot better now so we know all the shortcuts to each investigator's house!

We have been teaching an investigator named, Ernesto Barrios, he was so prepared by the Lord wow!  He listens and acts and does almost everything we tell him. Sometimes we get so excited to teach him we schedule to see him every day... ha-ha. He is the first investigator I’ve taught this many lessons to! He read 116 pages of the BOM in 2 DAYS! And when we give him a pamphlet to read for the next lesson he actually reads it and asks questions and knows what we are talking about before we say it, it is so nice. He is 56, he is a builder and lives in the houses he is currently working on. The house he is working on now is huge and so pretty. He went to church last Sunday but wasn’t able to go this Sunday because he had to work. It’s hard because he wants to be baptized on the fecha meta we set for him. But how he went last week was he told his boss he had to go shopping for food for the week and he actually went to church. We told him he needs to pray and fast then talk to his boss about allowing him to attend church. His boss is actually really nice we’ve met him a few times and he told us that the church is all he ever talks about at work now. Oh funny story he discovered early this week that there is a Dictionary at the back of the BOM and he has been ready that too and he asks us random facts about the church to see if we know them.. Like the other day he asked us if we knew the day that Joseph Smith’s mom died... it’s the 5th of May if any of you are wondering ha-ha. He has tons of these random dates memorized! Facts about Temples and everything. He is supposed to be done with this job he is now working on in about a month. He told us he can be 100% into the church after that. Right now he is lying to go to church. We’ll see what happens, we hope his boss will let him come to church. But I know if he doesn’t get baptized with us he will with someone else.

I think I said last week, our area we have is now twice as big. We have a colonia called El Centro (downtown) and it has 100s of shops and places to eat. It is so fun. So now when I come back to visit I’ll know my way around one of the only things to do in Tepic!! (; The poor elders that had the area before had 2 really good progressing investigators and now they are ours. I feel bad but I’m happy too. One is named Andrea she is 19 and has been seeing the missionaries for about 4 months. She has had almost all the lessons and is just a little scared of baptism. There’s a member named Isais that came with us to see her and he use to go with the elders, he really likes this investigator, like a lot and let me just say there were times we felt like we were 3rd wheeling in the lesson... he won’t be coming with us again anytime soon mostly because she is shy around him and won’t share her true feelings, but hey she has a friend and he even picks her up for church so whatever works right?(; We have another investigator of the elders  who’s name is also Isais, he is about 62 and is so smart and soft spoken, he loves the Book of Mormon and is a really successful business man. So he almost can never go to church because he travels for work, he also wasn’t able to go this Sunday but he accepted a baptismal date. That’s now different because he didn’t go to church.

Sunday mornings are always days where we just hold our breath and hope people come. We try to pick people up that live close to us but that only ever works every now and again. We had our less active, Cleotilde, come to church with her 3 kids! She showed up for the last hour and we were so happy to see her and to have her kids start going to primary again! Hna Valdivia taught the Relief society lesson and she did such a great job everyone was in tears. I’m grateful Hna Cleotilde was there for that lesson.

We are very busy here in Tepic! I love this area more and more every day! That’s all I have for this week I love guys and I hope you have another amazing fun filled week and remember you’re always in my thoughts and in my prayers! (:

February 29, 2016 "Meeting My General Authority Cousin, Elder Pieper!"

Today for Pday we spent it with our favorite... less active! No joke she is the funniest human ever and she took us out to an Italian restaurant.

Probably one of the nicest places I’ll ever be in my whole mission and then she took us to the big mall here in Tepic for Dairy Queen. One of the girls in the threesome was with us for the day so it was 3 missionaries with our less active whose name is Esther. The whole time we made jokes with her about how she never goes to church and that just gives you a taste of our relationship with her. We know she will go soon. She was sick this last week in the hospital actually, so maybe this next week! She lives in a really nice part of our area.

This last Sunday was transfers and it was so stressful for all of us because we all knew that 9 missionaries couldn’t stay in one ward. We all knew someone was leaving. We were all taking pictures with the members after church and our district leader got a call from the zone leader so all the members and missionaries stayed around after church to see who was leaving and who wasn’t. Hermana Muro and I get to stay!!

This last week was my last week of training so I guess you could say I’m a real missionary now! (; The three some of girls that were here only one is staying and she is training her last 2 transfers here so there will be a new missionary in the ward with us. Then 2 Elders left. So it is now 6 missionaries in one ward which is better but still a lot. We are meeting later tonight to talk about our areas because they are all gonna get a little bigger... we’ll see how it works out! I’m excited to finally get the chance to stay in an area longer than 6 weeks! And when the members heard we were staying they all hugged us and were excited, it’s nice to know we are wanted here haha.

We had the conference with Elder Pieper this Friday! Its funny because when I heard his name I told Hna Muro my great grandma’s maiden name was Pieper I wonder if they are related. So when he got here we all took a picture together and we all stood in a line and he shook our hands. When it got to my turn he looked at me and he says you know were related right? And then I remember grandma telling us we had a relative in the seventy and it all came together. It was pretty cool! He called me up in front of everyone and started talking about how important family history is and told everyone I was his cousin and everyone was like ohhhhhhh.

He told a really cool story about our grandpa and how he was only baptized in one day and I can’t remember all of it because it was in Spanish but it was really cool. He told me he is going to give the story to president to give to me! Then after the conference all the zones that came to the conference, four were picked to have and interview with Elder Pieper. I was I was picked from Tepic so we were able to talk more and I asked him questions to about how to help our less actives and investigators keep commitments. Oh and at this conference before I knew we were related they handed out the program and they had me giving the opening prayer... Remember how I ALWAYS pray at like everything? Ya I guess this was no exception, I was way nervous because of course it had to be in Spanish but once I knew we were related I wasn’t scared anymore ha.

As far as investigators goes we have had a lot of opportunities to teach lesson one because of all the new investigators I wrote about last week. Abel the one who was really into our lessons and paid super close attention went A-wall this week and we finally find him yesterday and have another appointment with him today. We will see if he will even be home. He was acting so strange yesterday and we told him if he didn’t want us to come back we wouldn’t but he said he did so we will see. We had a man named Ernesto call us on Tuesday telling us we wanted us to come teach him. He had stopped us on the street and we were running late to an appointment so we just gave him our number and left and he actually called! The first time we tried to teach him he just talked and talked so we actually didn’t teach at all. He has soooo many questions about religion and has a lot of friends of other faiths so he was always asking why one church did this and that and why we don’t. The second time we went to teach him was better. We actually got to teach. But main the lesson was exhausting. He again had 100 questions and for some reason doesn’t take me very seriously. He interrupted me so many times while I was bearing my testimony... he’s a little more interested in the fact that I’m learning Spanish than listening to what I have to say... But with that said he is way nice and always offers to buy us drinks and taxis because of how far his house is. He builds houses and while they are being built he lives in them. The house he is working on now is HUGE and so pretty. And you’ll never guess what happened.......... HE CAME TO CHURCH!! He may have a 101 questions but he is one that says he is going do something and he does it. The bishop was welcoming everyone to church and had mentioned to everyone about donating some extra money when they could on their tithing slips to help the members feed the missionaries.  After sacrament he had to go back to work and as we were leaving he said “oh wait I want to give money to the members to help feed you guys.” It made us so happy to hear him say that!

Our cool New Zealander investigators may have only been a dream... the man from New Zealand is the husband of a less active and she told us the other day that he wants her to tell us not to come back... they have a lot of marriage problems they need to work out, it is the saddest situation.

That’s all I have for this week, a little slower sorry! I love you all and have an amazing week!

February 22, 2016 "Families Can Be Together Forever"

I am not even sure where to start! This week has been a really good one for Hna Muro and I. So last Tuesday Hna Muro and I were walking around with Hna Valdivia she was coming with us to make visits. We visited our usual people, nothing too exciting until we decided to look for some less actives in our area that we hadn’t been able to find. We came to one house we had tried to visit but nobody was ever home except now! The less actives name is Cleotilde. She has an adorable family. She used to live in a place called San Blas and had moved to Tepic about 8 months ago and hasn’t gone to church since. It was a total miracle that her address showed up on our lists of less active. She never had her records moved and the address she lives in was actually under her mom’s name and her mom has never lived there.... so I have idea how she was on the list. She remarried someone named Andrew and get this…he’s from New Zealand and doesn’t speak any Spanish. He has two kids that are 16. One is Claudia and other is a 20 year old but we haven’t meet him yet. They don’t speak any Spanish. And then Cleotilde has 3 young boys who don’t speak English. We aren’t quit sure how they all communicate with each other but Claudia agreed to have us come over tonight and teach her... so we will be teaching her in English. Hna Muro and I made a practice of our lesson with her today and wow talking in English to teach a lesson feels SOOOO weird. We will see how it goes ha.

Zone Conference in Tepic

After we meet them we went to go visit a woman named Marie Eva. We contacted her on the street at her little Torta shop and it's funny because at first she was like “no I don’t want to learn more I’m catholic.” But we stayed and talked with her a while and then she agreed to have us come visit! Well she wasn’t home when we went Tuesday night to find her but her son was. All I can say is wow. Her son’s name is Abel and he is so interested in what we have to teach him! We were able to teach him lesson one on Thursday and I have never seen someone so engaged in a lesson before. He asked good questions and added comments here and there. It was awesome. He wanted us to come back the next day to teach lesson 2. We weren’t able to until Sunday because of our schedules and him not being home but again it was an amazing lesson. He is so accepting and willing to listen to everything we say and always wants us to come back the next day to teach him the other lessons. I really do feel he was being prepared by God because he is an amazing investigator. For some unknown reason though he didn’t come to church. When we found him on Sunday he told us he didn’t want talk about it, so who knows haha. And not to mention he understands my Spanish wahoooo!

Then on Thursday we didn’t have a lot to do and nobody seemed to be home so we started to walk towards Clotilde’s house to see if we could visit with them and we ran into a woman named Lupita. She saw us walking up the street and called us to come to her and she took us in a huge hug and asked if we have ever meet cause she felt like she knew us. We have never seen her before but she invited us into her house and we sang “Families Can Be Together Forever” and she loved it so much that she called her son and had us sing to him over the phone. She just kept saying how she thought we were angels and she just kept talking about how cute we were. We went back to teach her on Saturday and it was another really good lesson. Sadly though she cannot understand a word I say... she’s 62. I have noticed that the older people and the younger people don’t understand me very well but the in-between don’t have a problem ha. I said the opening prayer for our lesson with Lupita and after she asked Hermana Muro to tell her what I had said then she made sure that she knew how cute she thought I was, but that she didn’t understand me ha oh well maybe it will be better next time.

Then yesterday was another good day for us! We had our cute investigator Karyme come to church. It was a little rough because she didn’t really want to. Its hard cause she really likes what we teach but gets bored at church... we are working on that but she loves personal progress and has her scriptures all marked up and she told us that the BOM makes her happy. It’s adorable. We had a less active who hasn’t been to church in 7 YEARS come to church yesterday! His name is Rafael. It’s funny cause we went to pick him up in the morning and he wasn’t home and we were bummed but we got to church and he was sitting in front of us! It was the happiest moment to see him there! He even stayed for all three hours and participated in the class. We went to just see how he was doing Sunday night and he told us that he was so happy he went to church. I hope he goes again next week!

Also Sunday night Hna Muro and I had 2 hours where we had no appointments and were trying to find people to teach but nobody was home. We were trying to walk around and contact as many people as possible. While we were walking down the street a man with his son on a motorcycle stopped us and asked us what church we were from and was wondering if we’d be willing to visit with him and his family.... OF COURSE! We are going to be seeing him tonight. After running into him we decided to walk a street we had never been and while we were again walking a man stopped us and saw our Book of Mormons in our hands and told us he had one and he wanted to show it to us. He had taken lessons with missionaries before and told us he wanted to again so we are seeing him tonight too! Then he introduced us to him mom who lived next door to him and she too wants to meet with missionaries again! And we had some other contacts yesterday of people who told us we could come back it was a good day for contacting!

 It has been a really good week for us and I really do believe it was because we never gave up we just kept working and walking.... and walking. And after we felt like there was nothing else we could do we would find someone who wanted to be taught! I love the quote mom sent me by Pres Uchtdorf... (idk how to spell that ha) But it says something like when we do our part the lord adds his POWER to our efforts.  And I know that to be true.

We had interviews with President on Friday also. I love being around President and Hna Clayton. Hna Clayton ended up not going on visits with us because she was tired and needed to leave for Vallarta. But my interview went well it’s nice to talk to President, he has such amazing advice. He told me there will only be 6 missionaries instead of 9 in this area after exchanges this Sunday.... he made it sound like Hna Muro and I are staying but we will see... This Friday Elder Piper of the seventy is coming to have a conference with all of us missionaries. So Tepic, Puerto Vallarta and Santiago will all be together for the conference!

Hmm today we spent the day with a member named Paola Padilla and I love her. She makes visits with us all the time. She is only 20 and has the cutest style. She’s actually going to school to be a nurse right now and only has a year and a half of school left. It’s fun to talk with her about nurse stuff, I still wanna be a nurse if you were wondering (: She came with us to buy groceries and then she let us wash our clothes at her house and her mom made us lunch it was a good day! These past few weeks I have befriend the man outside our house that sells banana bread every day, I like him because 1. he one sales good banana bread and 2. he always compliments my Spanish and how impressed he is. He has agreed to make me banana bread with chocolate chips I’m very excited.  I love you all. Have a great week.

February 15, 2016 "On the Search for Committed Investigators"

Wahoo it’s P-day! This week has been pretty normal but exciting! First Happy Birthday Dad! Well, on the 9th but it’s all the same right? I hope you had a good one and you ate cake and Mexican food (;

Roxanna was baptized 3 months ago and is 14.
She wants to serve a mission so badly.
Her tag reads "Future Missionary"
She is adorable.

More and more every week I feel better here in Tepic. We have been focusing on two investigator families. The Bustamentes and Karyme and Lizuet family.The Bustamentes are a really cute family with kids. They were actually one of the only investigators that were being taught in our area before we came here. We had a really good lesson with the mom, Paty on Saturday. She opened up to us and told us how she has really bad depression problems and how she wants to find something to make her life better. I know this gospel is exactly what she needs but she and her family won’t do what we ask of them, no reading no praying, not attending church. And even on Saturday she finally agreed to church, it was such an amazing lesson. We went to pick her up Sunday morning. She was making breakfast for her kids and would meet us at the church in 5 min and we thought she really meant it... But they didn’t show up. We were pretty bummed. We aren’t sure if we are going to be able to continue teaching her. It is hard when people don’t put effort into their conversion. It’s really hard to see that this church is what people are searching for and they just won’t put the effort into finding that out for themselves.

Divisions w/ other Sisters

With Karymes and Lizuet family we are really excited. When we first found this cute little family they were outside their house and when we introduced ourselves the oldest daughter Lizuet (18) had actually had lessons from missionaries when she was 12 and agreed to have us come back. If you remember Karyme her younger sister who is 12 actually came with us two Sundays ago to church without us even having to teach her. We now have been able to teach her and her sister. At first her mom didn’t really like us coming over and wasn’t super friendly but wow so has done a total 180! She loves having us there now. She will sit and listen to the lessons and ask really good questions! She even asked us last time we were there if she invited us to have tacos if we would come. Of course that answer is yes! It was adorable. And not to mention her dad has always been on his phone when we are there and shows no interest in us at all but yesterday he asked us to tell him about the restoration and SMILED at us when we left. Hna Muro and I both were totally shocked! Ah I can just see this cute family now all being baptized. Oh that would be perfect! We will keep working with them!

Not much else has been different! Our zone leaders finally got us a fridge wahoooo! Oh on Friday we have interviews with our Mission president. Hna Muro and I were told that Hna Clayton will be coming on divisions with us after our interviews... we are pretty nervous. We are supposed to have appointments set in stone but no one here really keeps their commitments so we will see how that goes... That’s all I have for now. I love you all so much! Have an amazing week!

February 8, 2016 "Ups and Downs"

Tepic Cathedral

Things feel more and more normal every day here in TEPIC! I’m slowly liking everything more and more. We have a good pool of investigators and have been able to find some more Menos Activos in our área so we have been kept busy! We had a Ward talent show on Friday and oh my goodness it was so much fun! It did start an hour late which was so bad because we had an investigator family agree to come with us named the Bustamentes. We have been working really hard to try and get them to go to church. When they agreed to come to the activity and their daughter agreed to sing with the Young Women, we were so excited! We went and picked them up and Patty the mom came with all three of her kids! We felt so bad they had to wait so long for it to start we were so worried they were going to leave but they didn’t. They stayed the whole time and it was so fun! The Young Women sang a song call “Corre” that is really popular here and Hna Muro played the piano for them. Then they danced to the whip song ha! People played the guitar. The primary kids dressed up and danced to “Thriller.” The second counselor and his little boy sang a song and dressed alike. They sang “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story. The Young Men did a break dance thing it was fun. The music was really loud and all of the missionaries were like “uh can we be here” haha. It was well attended and everyone had so much fun not to mention we had tostadas after hmmmmm.

I guess I’m going backwards but Thursday was such a great day for me. I can honestly say it was one of those days where I really truly felt like a missionary. Sometimes it’s hard because of the language barrier for me to really teach and help someone but on Thursday morning we went and visited a less active, Irving. He had a lot of questions about the Book of Mormon and it was the greatest thing. I was understanding all of this questions and without help or anything I answered all of this questions and it just felt so good! After the lesson Hna Muro told me that I sounded so good and I said everything correctly. And honestly the rest of the day felt like I was on a spiritual high or something haha I hope I can say that. But I can honestly say it is because I had an amazing personal study. I gained an even stronger testimony that our studies really do effect our day. But of course, this amazing feeling didn’t last forever... Our entire building didn’t have water starting Friday night till this morning... it was terrible and put us both in a pretty bad mood. And then Saturday, nobody was home. Like at all. Our investigators left for the weekend so we did a lot of walking around trying to find people to at least contact. The Bustamente family promised they were going to come to church but when we went to pick them up they weren’t home.... neither was the less active that promised he was going to come. We were way bummed. And it was slow with everyone still gone. But on the brightside we got our water back this morning and we went to the Centro here in Tepic where they have a ton of places to shop and eat. And we have appointments tonight so let’s hope everyone is back from vacation! Although this week been all over the place, it has had its good and bad, but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I hope you all have a good week!

Con amor,

Hermana Acor
