Hermana Bailey's Orlando Florida Mission - Spanish Speaking

 Hola hola a todos!! Again shouldn't let the intro fool you, another rough week! But we persevered and got to the end of the week!  Let's dive on in! Sweets: actually have some this week - actually met some super cool people - we had a multi-stake conference and they formed a new stake here in Orlando called the Orlando Citrus Ridge Stake and that's the stake I'll be a part of! - well maybe not for long cuz this week is....TRANSFERRSSSS!!!! I'm so excited to see what's gonna happen! I've been in this area (Buena Ventura West) for the past months I have been here, so that's what we call a "baby area" or in mission terms I was born here. So I've been here for 3 transfers which is 4 and a half months  - I'm pretty sure this transfer I'm leaving and going to a new area but we find out on Tuesday! So wish me luck! Sours: - still got rejected A TON!! people were pretty rude this week, and usually the rejection doesn't get to me but wh...

 Hola hola a todos! Don't let the intro fool you, this week was a rough one! So we aren't gonna do that format like I usually do it cuz basically this entire week was sour!  So it will probably be short and sweet because there's not much to update yall on. No new friends this week, we had an Easter concert and me and my comp did a special musical number! Which that was good as well and I sang in sacrament meeting and said the closing prayer! Those are my sweets for the week. And after I sang the members kept coming up to me saying how beautiful my voice was and how good my Spanish has gotten, so that was a confidence boost for sure!! Pensamiento espiritual  - This past week was Holy Week! So each day, I studied in the Bible of the last week of Jesus Christs life. I learned so many new things about our Savior. But one thing that I will always be forever grateful for is His sacrifice for me and because of Him and His resurrection I can live with my family forever, and I am ...

 hola hola a todos! Hope everyone's doing well! This week was super good so let's dive right in! Sweets: - we had a mini zone conference this week about The Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ! It was a super good zone conference filled with beautiful testimonies and music! Oh jaja I did a musical number with my companion and another Hermana! My comp. played the piano, Hermana Preece played the violin and I sang, the song was Gethsemane! - met super cool people in the Walmart parking lot, one of them pulled up to night church! We recently started night church for those who can't make it to a service earlier in the day! But it's in English so we had to translate for our friend! Sours: - got rejected A LOT but that's okay! We accepted it and kept going  - one of our friends who was on date to get baptized this past Sunday, decided not to get baptized so prayers up for our friend!! Pensamiento espiritual: This month as a mission we have focused a lot on the reason ...

 ¡¡¡hola hola a todos!!! How is everyone doing!!!! I'm doing great, so let's dive right in!! Probably a short email this week but nothing to complain about!! Sweets:  - zone conference on Thursday was super lit! I love seeing everyone and I got to see my trainer Hermana Idiart!!! I was so happy to see her again!!  - I hit 5 months on Friday and I went on an exchange with one of the STL's and she made the day so special!! She bought me lunch and we had a fabulous day together! - also pday we had a sister's pday so all the sisters in the entire mission all went to one chapel and we had a clothing swap and ate brunch it was so fun!!! Then we went to a different chapel and hung out with the zone!! Pensamiento espiritual: This past week at Zone conference we talked a lot about planning for our friends and how important detailed planning is. Now I am not a person who likes to plan, I like to just go with the flow but I've come to learn that while yes going with the flow h...
