Yay!!! BAPTISM!!🥳 June 15, 2020

This week went by super FAST. To be honest it's all kind of a blurr. We have been trying really hard this week to Find people over social media. Its definitely a little harder to get that connection with people and find their needs when talking to them over text. This scripture has never been so relevant in the work. 

"Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man."

Everytime I would read this scripture I would always think about how in the very moment the words in Spanish would be brought to my remembrance or the things that need to be taught not what to say to a person to get them to respond. But the Lord really does work Miracle line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little! Although most people are not so interested in learning right now, they WILL BE! Someone in my Zone used the analogy of casting your net to catch a fish. Then fish might be too small right now that they slip through the net but everytime we share a little piece of the gospel we are feeding them to one day grow big enough that we will catch them in our net! 

On Saturday we had Joshua's Baptism. It was AMAZING!!! Not gonna lie it was the most stressful day of my mission. We had just finished up our morning studies and were getting ready to leave for a picnic with a member and we got a text from him saying "I dont think I'm gonna be able to come." My heart literally dropped. I asked him what he meant and he said he didn't have a ride anymore because his car was in the shop and his Dad didn't want to bring him. Long story short as the day went on we were panicked trying to find him a ride but no one was responding to us. About 2 hours before he texted and said that his Dad decided to come. LITERALLY AN ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS!! After the first text my companion and I immediately knelt in prayer. Praying that his Dad would change his mind so that he would be able to come and have a little family support. Heavenly Father does work MILAGROS!! 

I am so grateful for this gospel! I am so lucky to be a missionary at this time and to see how much JOY the gospel brings into others lives. And how Heavenly Father is truly preparing his children to receive the gospel. I know that it is true and was restored by the prophet Joseph Smith. I know that he was called of God and that through his power he translated the Book of Mormon! I KNOW THE BOOK OF MORMON IS TRUE!! I know it with all my heart! I love the power it has to help me feel the spirit, learn of Jesus Christ and his infinite atonement, and just make me HAPPY!!😊🙏💕 

I LOVE YOU ALL!! I hope every single day you find the time to read it, study it, and ponder the words that were written for us!! Have an FANTASTIC week!

Love, Hermana Berry

Mis queridos!  Thank you to everyone who made my Birthday so special! It was definitely one to remember. I have officially begun my "back in my 20s" stage! And I get to start it off by doing something I enjoy so much! Serving the Lord. I won't want to be anywhere else. Although some days are challenging and it feels like it's never going to end but then I just look back and see how far I've come and I am just amazed! Halfway! I can't even believe it. Feels like yesterday when I was graduating high school, going to college, and getting my mission call. But here I am, just doing my best to work hard and learn. And man oh man I just love it. I love how I have learned to rely on my Savior because he doesn't want us to go through things alone. He wants to help us because he knows how hard life can be sometimes. I love the Book of Mormon and I'm grateful that I have finally realized how much I need it in my daily life. I can tell that I am happiest ...

Mi Familia, It's been a couple week s . How  are you  all doing   with that cold Utah weather?  It was still pretty nice here until  November 1 .   T he first (actually) cold day here. We got up to go running and walked outside and had to come back inside to put a long sleeve shirt on. It was crazy because on Halloween it was in the high 80s and overnight it dropped to the 30s.  Anyways, last week   the Senior Missionaries in my area took us on a P-day to Beaufort and we were gone all day. It was so much fun! They picked us up and took us to Beaufort where we at lunch and had ice cream. We walked on the boardwalk and watched as boats came through the bridge. Then they drove us to hunting island to see the lighthouse. We got  t o climb the 197 steps to the top of it and lookout. The view was AMAZING! Elder and Sister Brandt are such Awesome people. After the lighthouse, they took us to this nature walk. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see a...
