LOVE is an open door!

Wow. One word to describe this whole week, and basically my whole life, would have to be LOVE. Heavenly Father truly loves His children so so so much! He loves me, my family, the members here in my ward, the homeless man on the street who loves the gospel, my investigators, my companions, all of the missionaries around me, all of my friends, etc. He loves us ALL! And because He loves us all he has a perfect plan for each of us in order for each one of His children to hear the message of the restored truth. And the best part is that He loves US so much that He allows us to be part of that plan in teaching his other children! It doesn't matter if you're a full time missionary or not. If you have the Gospel in your life and you have a mouth that can speak and a body that can act as an example then YOU have been called to declare the message to all of the people around you! How neat is that. Our Heavenly Father must truly love us and trust us so much! Don't let Him down! Show Him the love you have for Him too by participating in this great work in every possible way you can!
Ok let's begin! There have literally been miracles all week long. However, Sunday there were especially some incredible ones! First miracle was that it was SundaySunday's are ALWAYS my favorite!! I love seeing all of the members and helping investigators! The best miracle at church would have to be that when we walked into sacrament meeting all 4 of our investigators we had there were already talking to members and families were asking them to sit with them! How miraculous?! The members here are so great and we are trying to help them as much as we can to recognize that missionary work is the members work as much as it is the missionaries. Each of us in our everyday lives need to remember that this work is ours too... We are called to this work whether we are full time missionaries or not. 

"I am called of God. My authority is above that of the kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my master and he has chosen me to represent him. To stand in his place, to say and do what he himself would say and do if he personally were ministering to the very people whom he has sent me. My voice is his voice, and my acts are his acts; my words are his words and my doctrine is his doctrine, my commission is to do what he wants done. To say what he wants said. To be a modern witness in word and deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous latter-day work". 

This is our commission... Not only as a full time missionary but for the rest of our lives. I love the scripture in Helaman 16:7 about Samuel the Lamanite. Once he left the wall he didn't run and go hide. He went back to his own people and began preaching the gospel STILL! We need to show our love for our Heavenly Father and savior not only by giving two years or 18 months of our full undivided time and attention to preaching the Gospel and bringing people until Christ but we must devote our lives to that calling! "Because I have been given much I too must give". 

What is our main motivation behind everything we do though... Especially in sharing the gospel? It honestly should be love. If we love our Savior and Heavenly Father and the people around us then we will want to share the gospel with them and serve them and we will want to read our scriptures everyday and we will want to pray and attend church and go to the temple and do everything we are told to do... Because of LOVE! It's like what I shared in my talk before I left on my mission. 

Elder holland said, "Why was the Savior willing to keep His covenant with the Father and fulfill His divine mission to atone for the sins of the world? It was His love for His Father and His love for us. Why was the Father willing to allow His Only Begotten and perfect Son to suffer pain beyond description to bear the sins, heartaches, sicknesses, and infirmities of the world and all that is unfair in this life? We find the answer in these words: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.” Elder Holland movingly suggested, “I am not certain just what our experience will be on Judgment Day, but I will be very surprised if at some point in that conversation, God does not ask us exactly what Christ asked Peter: ‘Did you love me?’.... The Savior said, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” How we all need a regular manifestation of the Savior in our daily lives!" 

This past week I have learned so much about love in my everyday life. I feel so blessed to have a family who loves me, friends who love me, a mission Presidente and wife who love me, companions who love me... We are all so blessed to at least have one person who loves us. It has honestly given me a glimpse of the love our Father in Heaven has for each of his children. I feel so blessed to have all of these people in my life that I love and they love me right back. But some people here in Spain don't have that. The other night Hermana Lee and I were walking home and we had about five minutes until we had to be home. It was almost 10pm and not a lot of people were on the street so we didn't really want to contact anyone but we saw a lady sitting on a bench and both felt inspired to go talk to her. We did and as we walked up to her we introduced ourselves (in our cute bubbly missionary voices) and then noticed she was crying really hard. She looked at us and asked us to sit down with her. We listened to her whole story about how the lady she works for abuses her, she works 24/7, she doesn't have a husband but has two daughters at home that she is trying to raise, the rest of her family is in Honduras, and she is going to lose her job on August 15th. It was such a sad story but Hermana Lee and I knew Heavenly Father placed her in our path right at that time to be instruments in his hands. I shared D y C 121:7-9 with her and then we prayed with her and she felt a little better after that. We are going to visit her again to help her with everything and teach her the gospel. It opened my eyes though to realize that these people here don't know what it is like to truly be loved. And THAT is one of the biggest reasons I am here. I have been loved everyday of my life and now I get to share that love with others and teach them that they are never alone when they have the savior in their everyday life. It was such a wonderful experience for me to have to remember my purpose here... To bring others into Christ so they can truly feel of his love and power In Their lives as i have felt constantly in my own life. 

Speaking of feeling alone... Let me tell you all about Alex! He is our investigator that is getting baptized on August 8th! He is so so so prepared I can't even believe how prepared he is! Everyday he teaches me something new. It's honestly like he is the missionary and I'm the investigator! I literally take notes on the things he says during our lessons- it's wonderful! He gave me permission to talk a little bit about his story of how he got to this point in his life. He is from Bolivia but his parents moved here to Spain about 11 years ago and he and his sister Jessica (she's 19 and we're best friends!!) stayed in Bolivia and moved here about 4 years ago I think. They didn't really like it at first but now they do... Alex says he feels like the reason he was supposed to come here was so God could lead him to me and Hermana Lee and he could learn about the church. How incredible is that?! Hermana Lee met him right before I got here but they hadn't taught him anything really so we started from the beginning. He loves reading the Book of Mormon and bible and says he can't ever go to sleep anymore without saying His prayers. He just has the strongest desire to do whatever Heavenly Father asks of him. After we teach him a lesson he always says, "ok! No problem! I can (or will stop) doing that. If that's what God wants then that's what I'll do". Like after we taught the commandments he said, "no problem! I will live all of those because that will be following God". We had an AMAZING lesson with him the other night after the JAS (YSA) stake fireside with the Dayton's. He told us that sometimes it is really lonely because he is going to be the first Mormon in His family. But then he said over and over, "but I promise I am getting baptized on 8 of August because I know it is right even if it means I have to be alone". He told us how hard it was to be alone in Bolivia with just his sister and pretty much help raise her for 6 years!!!!! (6 years without seeing his parents! If Alex could do that and take care of his sister at the same time then I can be away from my family for 18 months to teach the gospel... No problem!). Anyways he told us that sometimes it's really hard for him because he knows that he has to be an example for his sister so he needs to go to a good college and get a good job and the best thing he can do for her is join the church!! He is amazing and so strong and ready to be baptized! The truth is though that it all ties back to the theme of LOVE. Why is Alex doing any of this? Why is he wanting to be an example to his sister? Why is he wanting to be baptized? Why does he go serve people in homeless shelters? Why does he tell us everyday how excited he is to serve his mission in one year from now? Why does he give up his training time to come to baptisms with us? Why can't he go to sleep every night without praying? Why does he continue to learn more about the church and read in the scriptures even though nobody tells him to? It is ALL because he has a desire and because HE LOVES his savior and Heavenly Father and he wants to serve them everyday and be close to them. He tells us everyday how much of a change this is for him but it is a happy and good change and he always feels the spirit now. When we truly love our Heavenly Father and savior we will be willing to do anything for them even if we have to stand alone sometimes. We showed Alex the "dare to stand alone" Mormon message by Presidente Monson and he thought it was the neatest thing ever that it related exactly to how he felt! My favorite part is at the end when He tells us that we never truly stand alone when we stand with our father In heaven. And it's so incredibly true! How lucky and blessed we are to have a loving Heavenly Father who is always with us through the Holy Ghost. 

Some of my favorite Alex quotes: 
1. "Don't ever be sad! Smile always!!"
2. After every lesson, sacrament meeting, fireside, etc... "You know what?! I feel so great and really very happy. I am going to be baptized"
3. Every time I need to cry I go cry and then tell myself, "ok, now. Smile again" 
4. I can do this. I can do hard things and if I have to do it alone- no problem! 
5. I always need to be strong! It's hard to be an example but people are looking at me 
6. I will always do ANYTHING to help my sister 
7. I need to do all of these good things because my sister is looking at me always! 
8. (We were having a very spiritual moment and then we all just paused and Alex looked up and said....) "what means gospel??" Haha 
9. It's like I was sick all my life and now you have healed me with the gospel!! 
10. It's like I was in a rose garden and I had to find exactly the right rose... And now I've found it! 
11. There was a hole in my heart... Something was missing. But now it is being filled! 

I'm so excited for him and that I have been able to watch Heavenly Father's plan for him unfold and we could be instruments in helping that plan come together! The gospel is true and I LOVE it so much! I am so grateful that I get to be here in Spain to help these people find that love in their lives too! 
John 15:9-11
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

As we love our Savior and Heavenly Father and then turn outward to love others as we keep the commandments we will be filled with this joy that the Savior is talking about! We must love and teach everyone around us out of love... Whether it's siblings, spouses, friends, extended family, neighbors, the lady at the grocery store, the man or lady who got mad at us... EVERYONE! Every action must be done out of love. Why? Because that is how our Savior, Jesus Christ, taught us and how He lived His life and how He would continue to live his life if He were here today. We represent Him! I am so grateful for the Gospel in my life and the calling I have for eternity to share this incredible message! I know it's true! 

I hope you all have a wonderful week and remember that someone in Spain loves each and every one of you! but most importantly... Our Heavenly Father and Savior love us and they always will! 

Love, 
Hermana Eyring :)

I love this picture of the Savior
Random/funny things: 
1. They have Special K here!!!!! It's the best! 
2. Hermana Lee told our investigators that church is every Thursday! It was so funny. They were so confused! 
3. Our shower broke this week so the four of us sisters had 15 minutes to share one shower! It was an adventure! 
4 Hermana Lee thinks she knows everyone!!!! She'll run up to people on the streets and call them a random name and then turn around and walk away because it's not them. Then she says, "you know... All the South Americans here look the same!" Haha 
5. Every time I see little kids or sometimes just randomly throughout the day I yell, "I WANT TO BE A MOM!!!!!!!" Hermana Lee thinks I'm crazy but oh well :) 
6. Every morning we listen to Laken's EFY song and just die at how gorgeous her voice is :) thanks Lakes! 
7. We met a family from New York on the metro yesterday! They came running up to us and said, "MISSIONARIES!!!!!" It was the cutest!!! Their last name is Dubei and apparently the dad (Dan) went on a mission because of a devotional Grandpa Eyring gave in the Bay Area of California in November of 1994!!! And now all of their daughters want to serve missions one day! It was the sweetest thing! 

Challenge: 
Have a moment to check and make sure everyday that the motivation behind everything you're doing is LOVE for your Heavenly Father and savior! :) 

Love you all!!! MUAH! Hugs from Spain!! 
Alex got into the University of Barcelona so we celebrated having

The sisters in my "piso" - sure love them!

Note from Mom: Here are a few thoughts from Allie's companion, Hermana Lee, about their wonderful week...Remember she is the only member in her family so we have adopted her into ours and we are writing letters back and forth! Allie feels so blessed to have such an amazing companion.

"A week of miracles!!! Actually, a minute of miracles!!!!!!!!!!!

We literally have seen miracles in every single second of the day! I really did LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this week! Oh wow! I´m just sooo amazed at every single event that happened this week.

One of our investigators, Alex, we had one lesson with him and it went wonderful. Both of us were able to teach by the spirit according to his needs. It is very wonderful to teach him with my companion, Sister Eyring. I feel like Heavenly Father put both of us to teach Alex, because he really needed and needs both of us. 

The other miracle was with Alberto. He is a less active member and did not come to church for a while. I called him on Saturday, and we meet with him the other day. When we met with him, he told us that he actually was thinking about coming back to church. The day when he prayed to God, he told Him that he wants to come back to church. About 3 hours later, he received a call from us and took that as an answer from God. It is very interesting to see how the missionaries can receive the revelations for their areas and help the people in their area.

I am just very grateful for every single miracles in every single second on my mission. I´m very happy that I get to serve a mission and I know why I am here. I love the Lord and all of His children. Through being diligent and obedience and working with unity with my companion, we were able to see miracles."

Baptism Blue!

Dearest family and friends,

How is everyone doing?? I can´t believe it has already been a week. It
is true what all missionaries say... the days feel like an eternity
sometimes but the weeks FLY by! I have heard that transfers go even
faster! It is crazy to think that in 4 weeks I will only have 11
transfers left! Where does the time go!

This week was fantastic!! We had SOOOO many eating appointments with
members to help them get more excited and involved in the work... and
so that I could meet everyone. Everyone is so nice here! 

I don´t know if this happens to all missionaries or not, but for some
reason ever since I have been in Spain, I have had the craziest dreams
every single night! They usually involve my investigators and all my
family and friends at home... I guess you could say it´s kind of like
Heaven! Last night I had a dream about Paige Gilbert... that was fun!
hahah I love you Paigey girl and hope all is well! 

Emma and Audrey - I heard you are being really good about helping 
mom on Sundays with dinner prep and dishes! YAY! That made 
my whole day!! Just remember never to complain about
doing dishes because here on the mission in our "piso" we don´t have a
dishwasher so I have to wash them all by hand... like most people in
Spain. So you should definitely just love doing the dishes and feel
very blessed :)

Heavenly Father honestly loves us so so much!!! He sends us blessings
everyday and usually they are in the form of other people. This past
week a few of our appointments fired on us and so we were visiting
less active members but literally nobody was home. We were contacting
in the street and we met some incredible people that we had lessons
with. We were still feeling a little down that we didn´t get a chance
to visit with people in their homes when all of a sudden Hermana
Esther called us. She is about 60 or 70 years old and is married to
Hermano Pedro. They are just the absolute sweetest and you look at
them and think "grandma and grandpa". They just have that look about
them. I love it so much! They needed help with family history so we
went over and they fed us dinner and we talked about all of our
investigators and how we could better help meet their needs! It was
amazing!! I love them both so much! We call them Madre Esther and
Padre Pedro! They are so great. We have incredible members here and
they all love helping with missionary work. It is the best! Remember
everyone back home.... the missionaries are only there for a short time
After that it is all up to the members! So definitely start helping the
missionaries in your ward!

I WENT TO MY FIRST BAPTISM THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!! It wasn´t even for our
zone or area but I went anyways because our investigator Alex is
getting baptized on August 8th and he really wanted to see a baptism!
It was amazing!!! The spirit was so strong even though it was all in
Spanish ;) I loved every second of it! Right when I got there all of
the missionaries from the zone crowded around me to meet the new
missionary ;) Then they asked if I played piano... yes. So I then
played all of the hymns for the baptism, did a musical number AND
played hymns after the baptism and before the confirmation. I was and
forever will be SO SO grateful for my parents who had me take piano
until I could play all the hymns in the hymn book! KIDS... Don´t stop
practicing. JB!!!! Get back on that piano... you will regret it SO
much if you don´t! Anyways, the baptism was phenomenal and gave me so
much motivation! I can´t wait for Alex´s baptism. He tells us everyday
how excited he is! His family finally agreed to let him get baptized
and he said that even if they didn't support him he would still do it
because he knows it is right! Wow. He is just so golden and prepared!

We watched the Restoration movie with Alex and his sister Jessica (who
we are also teaching) because they were just so ready to see it and
they loved it! We watched it in Spanish but I still cried through the
whole thing. It made me realize that yes, there are some really hard
days on the mission but I will never have to go through anything as
hard as Joseph and the early saints! They truly are such amazing
examples to all of us and should give us all motivation to share the
gospel with everyone we see! I am so grateful for each of the people
who sacrificed so much to restore the truth to the earth!!

I heard about Grace Pugsley and her accident. I cried while reading
the whole thing. I am so glad to know that she will be ok... what a
scary experience. But also what an amazing way to strengthen all of
our testimonies. I know that the power of the priesthood is real! I
know that fasting and prayer truly brings miracles. I know that Grace
is ok because she has an incredible work to do on this earth and the
Lord is watching out for and blessing each of His children. (2 Nephi
9:3... I thought of the Pugsley´s as I read this scripture). I know He
loves each one of us and he knows us all individually and will give us
the strength we need in physical, emotional, and spiritual trials that
we face in this life! I am so grateful for the gospel and the
opportunity I have to share it with the people of Spain. Thank you all
so much for your prayers... they are felt here in Spain everyday! I
know that through our Savior Jesus Christ we can become better each
and every day! En El Nombre de Jesucristo, Amén.

Love,
Hermana Eyring :)

Challenges for the week:
1. read "safeguards for technology" found in gospel library and apply
it to your life!!!
2. Look for the Hand of God EVERYDAY!!!!
3. Don´t ever stop sharing the gospel with people through words and
actions. Be like Norma (a member who LOVES going contacting with us)
and the first thing you say should be about the gospel and then don´t
let them leave until they have a baptism date!!! It reminds me so much
of my Grandma and Grandpa Zwick and Uncle Scotty! NO matter where they
are or what they are doing, they are ALWAYS sharing the gospel with
people and making sure that everyone has a chance to hear about the
restored Gospel of Jesus Christ! Try to teach everyone around you this
week about the gospel!

Love you all! Let me know if I can do anything for anyone!! I pray for
you all everyday!

Hermana Lee


 Notes from  Mom:

I received the following message from the MTC President in Spain, President Lovell, after he found out that Hermana Eyring is being trained by Hermana Lee...

"Your daughter is so lucky to be with Hermana Lee.  She is a young convert from Korea and is the most amazing young woman. They will be an incredible companionship."

I also received an email from the mission secretary who said the following...

"Hermana Eyring is currently serving here in Barcelona - she is in the best zone in the mission! She also has a really great trainer. Her trainer, Hermana Lee, is from South Korea. She is currently serving as a sister training leader and has had a lot of success in her mission. Hermana Eyring will have a great time with her."


"My incredible companion Hermana Lee"

Miracles come when we have faith!

Remember how I live in Spain?? Yeah, it´s kind of crazy and I
sometimes don´t even believe it myself! It is so incredible and the
work here is absolutely amazing!!! It has definitely been a crazy week
trying to adjust to everything. The members absolutely love my
companion and me so we are always working with them and we have SOOO many
investigators that we never really get time to even do personal study.
Which has been so great, but also hard because we have really missed
that study time! So this week our goal is to try to have the 2 hours
of companionship study and a full hour of personal study AND language
study! I´ll let you know how it goes next week :)

Miracles honestly start to happen when we believe they will happen.
The Lord is in the very details of our lives and especially in the
very details of missionary work. I am so grateful that He knows me and
loves me enough to send me here to the Spain Barcelona mission to help
these amazing people come unto Christ. Even though we have hard days,
I think that those are the days that we see the most miracles.
Remember to always look for the little "Miracles" in your everyday
lives. I promise Heavenly Father knows each one of you and is helping
you everyday. This past Sunday we had 3 investigators at church and
they are all amazing. Samary and Maria are brand new... we haven´t
even taught them a lesson yet but they were so so so excited to come
to church! They loved the meeting and basically cried through the
whole thing. After the meeting, one of the members in the ward gave
Samary a blessing because she has cancer. It was the most incredible
thing I have ever seen! The spirit was SO strong!! I cried through it
all and then gave her a huge hug and neither of us let go for the
longest time. It is amazing how you can have so much love for a person
when you have only met them once. I know with Heavenly Father´s help
Samary will get better! Also... one of our other investigators was
really sick when we went to give he and his mom a lesson this past
week. We had a feeling we should bring a recent RM with us to the
lesson so we did. When our investigator told us he wasn´t feeling well 
and needed to go to the hospital we were able to teach a brief lesson about 
the priesthood and then Ventimilla (the RM) gave him a blessing. It was
amazing! The Priesthood is so powerful! To all the priesthood holders in
my life... always remain worthy of your priesthood. It honestly
changes SO many lives!!!! I know it has changed mine!

We have had SO much weird food... this week I think the weirdest was
the seafood picture that I sent with Shim... our Korean convert. And
then also Pig Intestines. YUUUMMM. haha. They actually weren´t that
bad! Surprising, I know. Also, another random thing... we teach clases
de ingles every Wednesday and Saturday and I actually taught it on
Saturday!!!!! Did I have any idea what I was doing? NOPE! haha but it
was fun! The investigators probably think I am crazy since my
spanish is pretty terrible. But oh well! They all told me that I am a
really good teacher after the class so that boosted my confidence a
little bit... good practice for the future, right? :) ALSO, Shim
taught us taekwondo last Saturday! We do it every Saturday. It is
absolutely hilarious! He is so so so serious about it and doesn´t stop
working but then the rest of us just laugh the whole time because some
of the things he asks us to do are only things that Joey Eyring could
do ;) I thought of you a lot Joe as I learned some pretty crazy moves.
I will show them to you when I get home :)

Members feed us LIKE CRAZY!!!!!! This ward is incredible and loves
missionary work... they especially love the sister missionaries. It is
so fun!! We basically have appointments everyday this coming week! I
love the members here! Even though I can´t understand everything they
say yet I just feel like they are my family. One family that fed us
yesterday was so so so cute!!! Their house reminded me of a Jake and
Mary apartment! It was THE CUTEST and looked right out onto the ocean!
AHH breathtakingly gorgeous. The dad isn´t a member and the daughter
is having a hard time right now. Here name is Jala. She is so cute! I
think she is 15 years old and she looks like a mix of Emma and Abbie
Rowen. My goal by the time I leave this area is to be best friends
with Jala and really help her love the gospel and also to convert the
Dad. Ready, set, go!!

It´s so weird to see families here and talk to them about the gospel
because it just makes me miss mine so much!!! Literally everytime I
see little kids I cry and the people probably think I´m so weird! But
then they come and play with me and it just makes me so so happy!! I
miss my kiddos so much!!

Church yesterday was my absolute favorite!!! Sundays are definitely
the best days EVER!!!! It is pretty much just like at home... it isn´t
a "day of rest"... it´s more like the busiest day of the week as we
are fellowshipping and loving and serving and teaching etc. I feel
right at home! Plus I am the pianist for the choir so that´s fun too!
Thanks mom and dad for teaching me that Sunday is a day of service¨:)
The Bishop here is wonderful! We are having FHE with his family and a
few other families and some investigators tonight! And the ward
mission leader is hilarious and loves working with the missionaries!
Everything was a little hard to understand yesterday but with time the
language will come. I am so grateful that the Spirit and the church
are the same everywhere in the world!

Hermana Lee. Wow! Where do I even begin??? She is AMAZING!!!! I am so
lucky to have her! She pretty much never stops working and it is so so
great! We talk to every person on the street that we see... which is
why we have such a huge teaching pool! I just have to remember to keep
that same speed when I am done training! I am so grateful to have
her!! We do "Sacred Grove Moments" every morning... idea from my
"mini mission" in Flordia. I love it!!! Thank you Hermana Young and
Millard!! I am so grateful for you two! We go into rooms right next to
each other for about 15 minutes and just pray out loud to our Heavenly
Father. I didn´t realize how much I missed praying out loud until I
did it for the first time since I have been on my mission last week. I
literally said "Querido Padre Celestial" and then just broke down
crying because the Spirit was so strong. Talking out loud to your
Heavenly Father is SO SO important!! My first challenge to all of you
this week is to try to say at least one personal prayer out loud
everyday! It will be hard at first but SO worth it and you will see
miracles come from it... I promise!!

I LOVE getting emails!! I can only receive them when I have wifi which
is at the church... but we go there everyday! So I would love hearing
from all of you! I am sorry if I can´t always write back each week but
just know that they are SO appreciated and they give me that extra
boost I need to keep going in the day!! Pictures and videos are always
fun too :) Everyone keep me updated on what and how you are doing!!
Thanks!

My schedule in a day is pretty much... work out (running around the
Sagrada Familia, Jillian, or P90X... hard. I know. I die everytime
haha), breakfast, get ready, personal study, companionship study,
proselyting, medio dia (lunch for an hour, language study for an hour,
or medio dia appointments with members), 5-10 proselyting/lessons. It
is so great! I love it! It is a lot of walking and metro riding but so
fun! We find so many people that way!!

My three challenges to you all are:
1. Pray out loud for your personal prayers at least once a day
2. ALWAYS be yourself! Heavenly Father has a specific plan for you
that only you can accomplish. So BE YOU!!! Strive to become who He
needs you to be.
3. Invite the missionaries over for dinner and give them referrals of
people they can teach in your home!

I love you all and I hope everyone is doing well! Keep me updated on
what is going on back home! You are all incredible! Please let me know
if there is anything I can do for anyone!!

Love,
Hermana Allison Eyring
