Hermana Katie Griffin

Tasty roadtrip cookies  Holis,  I honestly feel like I don't have anything to tell you all! Okay, maybe a couple little things...  New companion!! Hermana Newlon is great! She reminds me a LOT of my friend Isabella from college. Maybe because they have like the same hair haha.  In my assignment as hermana leader, I'm going to be working with an Hermana from New Zealand, and currently, we're on a bus to Antofagasta for a conference.  We had some drunk dudes ask us if it was possible that missionaries 4 years ago were smoking Marijuana... we said it wasn't very likely.  New compi pics We've had a ton of success with our members this week in that we invited a friend to an activity, he went along with his friends, one of the friends was a good kid and also started to go to all the other activities and now he's probably going to get baptized this weekend.   and we haven't taught him very much, but the members have already talked about the temple and ba...

Elder Horton's birthday   Hello everyone! Happy Thursday!  I know after not hearing from me on Monday everyone was worried I was dead or something, but nope, they just did a weird change with transfer weeks, so on transfer weeks we have p day on Thursday instead of Monday. So if it's felt like a really long week, for me it has been haha.  Elder Horton's birthday We also received transfers last night, and it's crazy, they told us at like 9pm last night, and there are people who are leaving at 8am today, so they had to pack everything and clean everything they could last night, and then get going and leave the house at 7am this morning to make it to the terminal.  My companion got transferred and she leaves today at 12:30, but my new comp won't show up until tomorrow at 9am. She's in Arica so it's like a 22 hour bus ride for her. Her name is Hermana Newlon, and she's from somewhere in the United states, and that's about all I know about her.  I'm a...

  Hiiii!  This week was really good!  We had zone conference, exchanges, and lots of work to do, which I LOVE when we're busy so I wasn't mad.  I also got my hair cut. But not very much. Just the dead ends. The next time I cut my hair I'll be in college   Zone conference: I loved the focus in working as a team altogether as a mission. When one sector has a miracle or has success, they all do! When one person chooses to be baptized, the whole area is rejoicing. It's exactly as it says many times in the scriptures: hay que ser uno.  Something I enjoyed learning about this week: El arrepentimiento!!  So the other night I was praying and had a little personal revelation that we should teach people to pray differently than how we had taught it before. Normally we teach:  Start with Heavenly Father, give thanks, ask blessings, and end in the name of Jesus Christ amen.  But I felt the need to change that so that we're teaching our friends, from the ...

  Ill talk about the karma in just a second but first a story from my childhood that's nada que ver  When I was 13, I remember one day I was playing a game on my dad's computer- it was a puzzle game kind of like sudoku, and I was getting good at it. I enjoyed it because it helped me relax. Not that there was that much to be stressed about back then, but anyways, my dad came up to me and handed me a pair of headphones (to this day I don't know what the original motivation was behind it, nor why he chose that day), and told me to plug in the headphones and listen to this album.  And that was when I feel in love.  With 2:00am Paradise Café by Barry Manilow.  This week we were in the house of a member, and the music she was listening to was that same piano bar/blues vibes, and I started talking about the experience above, and she searched it up on her Spotify, and I had the gran bendición of hearing several of the songs from that album. I just about died. I had forg...
