Milagroz πŸ‡­πŸ‡³

Soooo our investigator Enzo who's getting baptized on January 28th
didn't have any friends when I got here so we decided to change that.
Literally this week he has gone to institute, he went and played
fΓΊtbol with the YSA ward, we have had people in every lesson and they
are calling him and texting him like crazy. He is friends with
literally everyone now. They are hanging out with him on their own. He
even came to the YSA Ward yesterday instead of the family Ward. He is
SO EXCITED for his baptism. It reminds me of how my friends helped me
get baptized. Thanks, peeps. President Mortensen wrote me yesterday
about this YSA Branch and said "The Lord would have you serve here.
This is where your faith grew." I definitely feel the truth of what he
said. It's been so cool serving with the same age of people that I was
when I was baptized. So many tender mercies. Tonight we are having a
noche de hogar with Enzo at our friend Suamy's house and making
Baleadas with a bunch of people cause they're both from Honduras. It's
gonna be so cool. This week was just a bunch of miracles because
another couple we found came to church on Sunday and they're sooo
sweet. It was the best feeling ever having them there. Anyways, the
Lord is definitely doing his work. Something else I discovered this
week: Hermana Black is my favorite. She is seriously sooo cool and we
had one of my favorite exchanges ever that involved Taco Bell and
hiding from the elders.

I love you all so much.
Have the best week ever!
Love always, Hermana Sheirbon

NEW ADDRESS!

15125 West Rd
Apt. #733
Houston, TX 77095


Guess what! I am now serving in the only Spanish YSA in the United
States. ✔️ How does it feel? The best. A lot of my old friends from
H10, etc, are there. It makes me so happy. Also, I'm serving in a home
Ward called Canyon Lakes. It's cool cause there are people there from
seriously every country. Anyways, this is probably my last area! 11
weeks left, friends!! My companion is Hermana Wallace and she's from
San Diego, California. She is really sweet!

Love you always, Hermana Sheirbon

PS- you're probably getting sick of seeing me in this dress, but I
love it too much.

Toni Jo/ Hermana Lowry/ 
My favorite person on earth came back

So, I'm pretty sure Heavenly Father plans out people's companions
because I literally needed to meet Hermana Lowry (who's now Toni).
Haha 😻 People in the mission basically believe she's my trainer
because we are the SAME. She taught me everything. She helped me SO
MUCH with my Spanish, my testimony, just everything. When I became her
companion, I began to love the mission more than anything. She taught
me that it really is about loving people. It's not about anything but
love, and helping others be happy. Her mom also passed away, and I
know our moms and friends now. πŸ’— I just picture them together,
laughing at us down here. But anyways, she came back to the mission to
visit last P-day and it's actually the anniversary of us becoming 
companions last year.. so weird! Best day ever. πŸ‘―

Best Christmas Ever πŸŽ„ PART 2

We also celebrated Elder Tidwell's birthday.... 21! Welcome to the
club! We also just had the best week ever with a Christmas Eve
breakfast with my old college station zone before it split. There was
a lot of other fun stuff we did. I just loved it. We had the best
Christmas ever, going to church twice! I was able to speak in
Sacrament about the birth of Jesus Christ from the Book of Mormon--all
in Spanish! Woohoo. Not even hard anymore. I'm so grateful for the
help of the Holy Ghost... We also opened our presents together as a
district. I love them. Look who came to church! The Fairs. ❤️
Love always, Hermana Sheirbon


















Best Christmas Ever πŸŽ„ (Christmas conference)

Dear everyone,

Christmas conference was the best this year. I'm gonna go ahead and
quote my daughter:

"We had a goal as a mission to have 600 convert baptisms this year,
which is really high for our mission. We are going to end the year
around 550 baptisms (which is still the second highest in the history
of the mission.) We came to Christmas Conference a little sad that we
hadn't met our goal. President talked to us about the story of Nephi
in the Book of Mormon. Nephi thinks he has failed when he goes back to
Jerusalem to get the plates. He tries offering his family's wealth to
Laban, but Laban takes it and does not give him the plates. He does
not obtain the plates in the way he thought he would, he gets the
plates because he comes back to find Laban drunk and is able to kill
him and put on his clothing. President pointed out to us that Laban
was probably drunk because he was celebrating his new wealth. So far
this year, 260 of those new converts have taken family names to the
temple to perform proxy baptisms. On average each has taken 2.33
names. The new converts did 606 baptisms. 606 people on the other side
of the veil have had the opportunity to accept those baptisms.
President talked to us about how the work we do here leads to work we
cannot see. Those new converts will share the restored gospel with
their friends, they will raise their kids in the gospel, they will go
on missions, and they will continue to go to the temple. The work will
keep moving forward!"

---Look at all my beautiful best friends ⭐️⭐️⭐️
