Dogs!! May 4, 2026

I hit 2 months as a missionary and got attacked by a dog for the first time this week!!! Scariest moment of my life #survivor🙂🫰Me and hermana foutz were just walking in the street clapping outside houses when this dog came out of an alley growling and snarling its teeth. Just as we walked past, i looked back and it LUNGED at me with its mouth open and everything!! I screamed so loud he backed off just enough for us to make an escape😭 I legit thought i was cooked💔 Shoutout to my mom jilly that is literally her biggest fear ⚠️WARNING gross stuff⚠️ it rained so hard this week. While me and hermana foutz were trudging through the flooded streets we saw a headless rat the size of a small dog in the gutters- i just about died right there. There was also a decaying dog in the front of our friend's house. YIKES Bishop had us over for uruguayan barbeque!! He handed me a piece of meat and told me to eat it... gulp okay. After, he told me i had just eaten CAT🐱. My heart literally stopped. He started laughing and was like "relax its only chicken heart" bishop what😭 it was so funny. chicken heart- i wont even lie it was fire. Id eat it again. People love to guess where im from which is so funnyyy!! Ive gotten russia, sweden, denmark, norway. Its cuz im white isnt it😐 We had so many miracles this week. This is God's work, He is in control and He truly is in the details of our lives- His arms constantly reaching out to each individual, inviting us to come and find rest in our Redeemer (Enos 1:27) One of my favorite miracles from the week- we were knocking a street on the outskirts of our area and no one was answering :( It was dark, cold and we were tired from walking. We finally get to the last house and- no answer. Just as we were about to leave a woman walks up and says her name is Genifer and she lives there! (Insane timing #miracle) Genifer was SO sweet to us. She told us her husband has a tumor and she wants to believe in God, but she just doesn't know. Her 9 year old daughter however is super interested. The spirit was so tender as we testified of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. She and her daughter want to come to church and get baptized together!! Before we left she gave us alfajores and we gave her a Book of Mormon🥹 "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever..." (2 nephi 27:23) I am so grateful for our Creator who is all-knowing, merciful, loving, and a God of MIRACLES🤍 Please pray for Genifer and her family that they will come to church and begin to progress along the covenant path!! Love you all! 🩷 Hermana Coon
