Holaaaaaa!
Okay I am so very sorry for not writing an email last week but holy hannah my life has been super crazy these past two weeks. So if this email seems like
a bit of a jumbled mess of English that doesn't make any sense, just look at the pictures and all will be well.

First off, we had General Conference, how cool is that?! I honestly love being able to hear from the prophet and all the apostles, it makes me very happy to learn what the Lord would have us do. And how about that focus on missionary work, pretty sweet! I love that we don't need to be serving full time missions to be able to help bring Heavenly Father's children back to Him. We can love, share, and invite no matter where we are! Also, I ate so much good food during the conference weekend. We hung out with the YSA and they treated us real good with waffles and pizza.
Also, it was my 21st birthday last monday! So I guess I really am getting old, jaja. Just kidding! It's strange that this is my second birthday out here in the mission field and I'm starting to repeat days that just doesn't feel right at all but time continues to move forward.
Also in exciting news, our mission achieved our monthly goal for baptisms with the Lord's help this past march! We set a new personal best and 44 of Heavenly Father's children entered the waters of baptism during the month of march. It was so incredibly amazing to watch the Lord perform incredible miracles! VIZUN ACHIEVED!
This week my companion is starting her last transfer and so now I am the designated driver. We've driven back and forth to the Tri-Cities twice this past week and we're still alive so all is well.
Other than that, it is spring time here and I absolutely love all the flowers!!!!! We're also starting to see all sorts of fun animals out and about.
For the miracle of the week, we are teaching the wonderful Gachet family from Ecuador and they are sooooooo cool. I love them so much. But Ximena's brother Patricio just moved here from Spain and he was actively searching for the church when he was overseas but due to covid restrictions, he couldn't do a whole lot more than look. But now he's here and within days of being here, we walk in teaching about the restoration! He's sooooooo cool and is exactly the push that Ximena y Roberto need to understand the importance of the restored church of Jesus Christ.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of crazy stories that also happened this week but my memory has gotten worse in my old age, jaja. But enjoy the surplus of pictures!
Con todo mi amor,
Hermana Blackburn
