Adiós Santa Ana :'(

May 4, 2020

¡hola y'all!!

    How is everyone? So good I hope! :) Today is officially my last day here in wild Santa Ana and I'm sooo sad about it. I've absolutely loved my six months here and all the mems that have been made and all of my amazing, amazing companions. Tomorrow I'm moving to Orange which is pretty much right next door, and as sad as I am to leave this area, I'm even more excited about going to my new one!! I have no idea who my next companion is going to be, but I can't wait to meet her! She's is a reassigned missionary, which basically means that she was serving somewhere outside of the country, but bc of all the Corona craziness she had to come back and so now she's coming here to the best stateside mission ever! ;)

    This week though went by sooo fast whoa. We had THREE super, super awesome lessons with our amigo Tino, and he for surely is going to get baptized soon. And of course we had a lesson with precious Marleen and sweet Joshua. I'm going to miss them so so much, but I'm so excited to hear about how they just keep learning and thriving :)  

    So last week I asked for all of y'alls favorite quotes/scriptures/pictures of Jesus, and I wanted to say thank you to the people that sent them!! I would still love some more too so it's not too late to send them :) but this week I've been thinking about one of my favorite quotes, "bloom where you're planted." One of my favorite ppl on the planet gave me a bracelet that says this, and I've literally worn it just about everyday on mission. I feel like it's pretty relatable to everyone rn, no matter what situation you're in, it's probably way different than where you were a few months ago. I know it's like that for me and with even more changes happening, that's been my little motto to boost me up :) 

Oh also(!) today is my 11 month mark and it's actually wild how fast time is flying by. And hey I love y'all a whole whole bunch and I'm really so grateful for each of you!! Lmk if anyone wants to have a good ole gospel video chat and I'm here for ya ;)

Con amor,
Hermana Brayton :-)


RIP best trio in the world :( + hiking/sunset pics (I ♥ CALIFORNIA)
