Boden, Libby T

This week was pretty lit, not gonna lie! First off, we had our zone conference! It was filled with presents, sports, pictures, and lots of fun! I became a piñata, and President hit me with a piñata stick. Yeah, we’re tight like that! He said, "Voy a deshacer de los piojos." (Inside joke between Presidente and me). It's interesting—every conference, I see such a big difference with my español! And guys, guess what? Hermana Boden is dreaming in español! It actually varies on the night whether I dream in English or Spanish, but I feel like that's pretty cool to be dreaming in Spanish. My dreams are definitely keeping me on my toes! This week, Hermana Toledo and I witnessed lots of miracles! We are seeing so much improvement with our friends, and we actually put three people on dates for baptism this last week. We will see where the wind takes us with them! I love my friends! This week, I recognized how much I truly love helping people and helping them come closer to our ...

This is going to be real fast! We had the call for transfers just barely, and it turns out trio poderoso is BREAKING UP! I am STAYING in this area with Hermana Toledo, and Hermana Viloria is leaving us! We did service this week, and I did some shoveling. I am proud to say the people were impressed! Thank you, Father and my brothers, for teaching me how to work! This email is about my companions. You have no idea how sad it is to not have the trio poderoso anymore. All the memories we made. All the pictures we took. All the friends we taught together. NO MATTER WHAT—EVEN THE DAYS WHEN WE WERE TIRED—WE WERE SMILING AND LAUGHING! Seriously, these girls are amazing and always push me to be better! They showed me how to really enjoy the mission! I have definitely learned so much from them, and their testimonies have strengthened mine! Not just them, but all my companions! Every companion is different, but I've learned something from each one of them! Anyways, folks, I'm grateful for...

This one is specifically for my missionary friends, but everyone is welcome to read! Oh! I forgot to mention—I killed a mouse the other day that was in the house! We got a video, and I’ll try to put it in Google Photos next week. Welp, this week with the Trio Poderoso, we witnessed a ton of miracles, not gonna lie! We had friends come to church, friends progressing, support from the members, and really so much more. Gotta love the work! But really, my missionary friends, I think we can all agree that missionary work can be difficult at times. I’m gonna be real: some days it’s like you’re on top of the world, and other days you feel like jumping off a cliff. Thank you for not jumping off the cliff! I want to let you know that you’re doing great, and your acts and efforts are being acknowledged—whether you are in the mission field or not. People see your efforts, and most importantly, Heavenly Father sees your efforts. It’s hard, I get it—trust me! But you are here, at this time, and in ...
