Hermana Maxfield in South Carolina & Uruguay

 

  Hiiiiiyaa   This week I got super sick and lost my voice! Yay! Haha! I was legit whispering in all our lesson Thursday and Friday haha. It was quite the adventure. It's gotten better, but now I just sound like a man lol In good news, Jazmin was baptized!! Oh, the best day ever. She bore her testimony the next day at church, and it was just the purest thing ever. Both her parents, who aren't members came and her mom told us they're going to get married!! So that they can get baptized too!! And she wants us to plan it!! Hahaha, good thing planning parties is kind of my specialty.   We also planned a super special Sunday school lesson for the youth talking all about missions and then the bishopric made them all their own little tags, haha it was so sweet!   Have a good week everyone!! Keep praying and reading your scrips!! 

I know everyone was wondering if I survived the cyclone, I did. Our window did not. We now have a large hole in our window thanks to a flying branch! Woohoo!  We called a repairman and all they did was taped plastic around it and said "we'll come back later" 6 days later, and we still gotta plastic window.  This week was supper awesome. We had a conference in Melo, which the most northern part of our mission, bordering Brazil. Cool news, I got to go to Brazil. Bad news, I spent 12 hours in a van. Our mission rents out big vans for the missionaries so we don't take public transportation, which is nice. But it's still 12 hours in a van. On the way back, the road was closed, so our driver had to take a detour. It was dark so I couldn't quite see what we were driving on, but I'm positive it was not pavement haha. The van was just bouncing up and down and rocks were just flying into the window haha it was a ride for sure. Good thing I got to sharpen my skum ski

Well just start off with the best news ever!! The Perez family was baptized this Saturday!!! Best. Day. Ever.  About a month and a half ago Hermana Fernández and I started teaching Liliana and her kids. It's been so incredible to watch them change and progress in the gospel. From the first time they came to church, they were super committed to the gospel. Her jóvenes have been attending all the activities and when we see them their countenances are just beaming.  The baptismal was a tad bit loco, but in a good way (mostly) hahah.  When we got to the church, the font was filled up like maybe a foot. We were like ahhh crap. We vigorously started filling pots of water and dumping them in the font it was a sight to behold that's for sure.  Sooo many people came to support them, which meant we were all super squished into the room with the baptismal font. Like super squished hahah.  Everything was going great until the Hermano who was directing the meeting decided to take some liber
