Jade's Farwell

 Jade was called to the Santiago West Chilie mission.  She was very excited to be able to speak Spanish and also be able to go on a adventure at the same time.  Jade had her farwell on June 26th. She did such a good job on her talk and had lots of family and friends here to support her. Jade started home MTC June 27th.  She was very busy with on line zoom classes and picked up the language very quickly.  I thought that home MTC was a wonderful idea, get the kids use to MTC life while living at home and meeting people on line first.  It was a great experience.  She then got all of her bags packed and flew out to the Mexico MTC on July 12th.  Our whole family was there to say good bye to her even though we had to be there at 3 in the middle of the night.  It was so hard to say good bye but we know this is where she is supposed to be right now.  She was not able to call us when she got to the MTC her flight was delyed in texas so I am assuming she was busy when she got there but she sent a email saying that she had made it to the MTC and would call later.  She sent me a message today July 18th saying that her debit card did not work so I knew she was alive and well.  Her P day in the MTC will be Wed.  We are all excited to hear about her adventures in the Mexico MTC so far.

Sep 11th Knows why she is there

 We had a good chat with jade she told us that she knows why she was sent to that area. She had a good chat with one of her comps and stayed up late at night. She had told her how her last comp was so mean to her. Only speaking english with others when she only knew spanish and not doing work with her. Jade was crying when she told me. She is so passionate about her mission. She has changed so much. She has so much love for the Savior and for this gospel.  She works hard and gives it all for Him.  I am sure this assignment of traveling missionary will not be easy but she knows she can bless others lives in a different way.  She is such a example to all of us and what we need to be doing in our lives to share the gospel and to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. We are so proud of her and all she does.  She had lots of rain this week and lots of mud. It was sunny on Monday so she was happy about that. They went and played games at the church with their district and ha...

Week 67 Nov 27th Last transfer

Image
 Jade had a good week.  She is still going to be a traveling missionary, she is with Hermana Brazil, they were so excited when they found out.  She said it is hard work but she is happy to do it. She is hoping to be able to go and visit most of her areas before she leaves so that she can see everyone.  So crazy this is last transfer.  The little girl has all of their name tags on. The white building is a govenrnment building.  They had lunch on a roof top. They had yummy ice cream and got samples of all the rest.  A member owns the shop so they get lots of ice cream from him.  The pic of the lady who just got baptized and a random guy who was holding the book of Mormon just wanted a pic with them.  They had district council all together and yummy doughnuts. She is in a suburb area again and is excited to be there and to find more to teach. She is doing awesome and we are so proud of her. She already has a amazing tan line on her feet!

Week 57 Sep 18 New experience.

Image
 Jade has moved to a new area again with her traveling comp calling.  When she got there the sisters were not doing a lot of work.  They were having lessons with members but did not have very many friends to teach.  Jade was feeling very down and actually did not feel the spirit for a few days.  This is the first time this has happened on her mission and she did not like the feeling at all.  On sunday they had gone to a park to see if they could find some people after church.  They were sitting on a bench and the one sister asked her what was wrong. She had told her how she had not felt the spirit since she had got there on Thursday and it was really bothering her.  They talked it out and now Jade has helped the sisters to make a daily schedule and to go out and find those to teach.  She said she was feeling much better today but still is hard.  I knew this would be a hard assignment for Jade to do.  But I also know that she can do ...
