Hola familia!
What a week! My first week with a new kid and someone steals our phone... how greeaaaat right?? Haha I wish it was a more exciting story but basically we were on a super packed bus (where you are pretty much giving hugs to random strangers) and I had a feeling to move our phone from a little side pocket to a different little bit bigger/deeper one so we wouldn't get robbed. Well I listened to that feeling and moved the phone. Promting 
action everything good right? wrong!! 
haha about 5 min later I had a feeling to check the pocket with the phone again because i just knew we had been robbed. the thought/feeling came in my head super clear like "you were robbed, don't freak out" and after that clear voice I calmly looked in the pocket that I had just moved the phone into and no phone. I literally looked at my comp and was like lol great we just got robbed... and her face froze and she was kinda freaked out but I said no worries everythings gonna be good and literally laughed thinking "of course my first week training we get robbed" 
I literally didn't even feel stressed or anything even though we were 2 gringas in the middle of Mexico with literally no way to contact anyone, because i knew that that was going to happen and I knew that God was going to help us figure out what to do!

From this experience I learned that we don't always understand why things happen (especially when we feel prompting to do something haha) but also learned that God has a sense of humor, and is very merciful. Maybe I don't get why we were robbed but I'm so grateful for all of the events that happened after it happened. God really helped us out and helped me keep my cool and deal with the situation calmly!
I hope you guys all know that everything happening in your lives right now is for a reason, even if you don't understand that reason. Keep your heads up and know that someone, not just anyone- a loving Heavenly Father, is looking out for you, and can give you peace and comfort even when we go through stressful or hard things in our lives! Those stressful/hard things are probably the things that you specifically need to become more of the person that HE wants you to be!
The first week with my new comp went different than expected for sure, but it ended up being good! Hermana butlers honestly so great!
Im so grateful to be a missionary and I'm so grateful for our loving Heavenly Father! Take a second from your day today and thank him for all of your blessings... especially having a phone
Love you all
