It's a Great Day to Be a Missionary!   Hello hello hello!!!  Just one thing... I love God and Jesus Christ!!! Being able to show other people how much God loves them each day is seriously the best thing ever!!! I'm so excited to use everything I have learned here after the mission (in like a month )  We are crazy busy busy busy, but like my companion and I tell eachother each morning, "it's a great day to be a missionary" Here's a little miracle we saw recently. We were going over to the grocery store to get a few things. Before leaving, we knelt down and said a prayer. In the prayer I asked that we could find someone who would recognize us in the streets. We went to and from the store and nothing happened and I forgot about that prayer . Later that day, we were walking to visit an AMAZING family, and I heard someone honking at us.

No Hay Coincidencias   Holaaaaaaa cómo estáis?? These last two weeks have been BUSYYYYYYYY!!! I'm loving it!!!! Between a First-Ever in person Mission Conference and welcoming a new Mission President, we haven't had time to even think about being bored!!! The mission conference was seriously so amazing!

Tears were definitely falling down my face and soaking my mask  It was so hard to day goodbye to President and Hermana Galli, they have both been such amazing influences to me and have taught me a lot about how to love others, how to be a Christlike leader, how to love the scriptures and so much more!

He said, Elder Boden, I know you already were in the office for five transfers,,,, buttttt we are going to be getting a ridiculous amount of new missionaries very soon (FINALLY!!!! We are so ridiculously small, many companionships are currently covering what used to be entire zones of missionaries) and it will be an absolute mess trying to get the residency done for all of them, so you will need to come back here and train the new Residency/housing/technology Secretary to help out with this! Well if that wasn't big
