I'm Going to Be Famous in Bolivia

 Hahaha! This week was tons of fun and miracles! Miami Christmas hits different. Let me just tell ya! The people go crazy with their lights and I LOVE IT!!! ❤️  I am missing the snow though! ❄️ We got to sing in the stake choir and they went all out for it! They had stage lights and decorations and even little costumes and Santa came! It was so much fun and brought a lot of miracles, which I will write in the miracle section of my email. 

As for the title though... I'm going to be famous in Bolivia!! We were sitting in sacrament meeting when these 2 ladies walked in in super fancy hot pink matching dresses! We went and talked to them after, and they told us they were from Bolivia! It was a mom and her daughter. They asked where we were from and when it got to me, I expected the usual reaction of "la fábrica" saying I'm from the factory of Utah. 😂 But instead they FREAKED OUT!! I was so confused until they told me that one of "their Elders" that taught them was from Utah!! After that they took TONS of pictures with me and said they were going to show them to that Elder hahaha. They wanted to see if we knew each other. I think Utah is a little bigger than they think... 😂 We taught relief society and they filmed the ENTIRE lesson!!! It was an hour long!!!! When the daughter's arm got tired, she handed the phone to her mom. And let me just tell you, she got ALL the angles. After relief society they took a whole photo shoot. It was pretty funny. They asked us to share a message with them at their hotel this Wednesday and we said we would. They kept bringing up Utah and how they wanted to visit and told me I was always welcome in Bolivia because they were going to show the pictures of me to everyone there. 😂 Later, we called their Elders in Bolivia to see what they wanted us to teach because it was so close to her baptism. They didn't know who they were at first... then one of them said, "oh!! We have her contact! My old companion taught her, but he got emergency transferred out because she declared her love for him..." 😳 SO AWKWARD!!!! Little does she know, he won't be there when she gets back... Anyways, that was the most interesting part of my week. Hope you all enjoyed haha!

Miracles: One of the people that we taught this week spoke some English and it was the most freeing experience of my life to be able to teach again!!! I can say my testimony and half a prayer in Spanish and that's about it, lol!

SO COOL!! We were practicing for the choir and this lady walked in and started crying as she listened! We talked to her and it turns out she was driving past and something told her to walk in. She talked about how she's been missing God so much in her life and the singing was exactly what she needed and that it was a gift from God.

I can testify that God knows exactly what we need, even when we don't. It's NEVER too late to go to Him. He is there waiting with open arms. He understands and He loves us. You've never gone too far. The spirit will help you know what you need to do. Just like the spirit told her that she should come in, the spirit will guide you to know what you need to do! God is waiting, but we have to reach out to Him sometimes too! 

I love you all!! ❤️❤️❤️
