2 BAPTISMS

January 28, 2020
I DID IT!!!! My first two baptisms! oh my this is why i went on a mission.
Seeing Ariadna and Maia be baptized and the smiles on their faces was the coolest experience ever. It was a little stressful planning the baptism and getting in contact with them because they don’t have a phone but everything went well!
We found a house! So this week we spent the entire week finding a house and we finally found one! it’s really big but it’s the only house we could find so woot woot lots of space. The mission office said that we would move in at the end of this week and that we are staying in Linares but that was all a fat lie. Linares is being whitewashed AGAIN. We just got here and all our hard work is out the window. My companion is being a capa in parral and I’m headed to Anadlien. I think that’s how you spell it. I don’t actually know where I’m going.
So apparently there is a tradition of calling people during the night if they are becoming assistant to the president or a capa and last night we were all dead asleep and we get the call. I answered dead asleep and the capa capas are on the other end asking for Hermana Fazakerley but she’s dead asleep so everything just went down hill and we could hear them laughing on the other side of the phone.
A tambien our district leaders called us in the dead of night too for cambios and we were all dead asleep and the ring tone scared me so bad I fell off the top bunk.... I hurt... a lot... but that’s life here
That’s basically my week and I’ve got a long day of packing. Love y’all so much!

April 5, 2021 Hello! This week has felt like 3 weeks. It's been a long one. Not much happened so it's been pretty boring but here are a few of our adventures. We helped make an Easter Video for our facebook page. We helped out at our ward Primary Easter Egg hunt. One kid went hunting before it even started and took all of the eggs! So hna Ralphs and I successfully took his basket and hid all the eggs again 30 seconds before the hunt started. We were able to talk with a ton of ward members at the Easter egg hunt and meet so many members who had gone off the grid when covid started. It was a fun time! We watched conference! We were able to go to a members' home to watch it. While there, their huge cat came and sat on my notebook and on me and wouldnt move. Their cat was sooo sassy and kept walking all over our notes. Other than that, we had a really boring week. Nothing exciting happened. I hope everyone had a great time watching conference! If you havent seen it...

March 2, 2020 When you think you’ve hit rock bottom, you can only go up right... wrong. I can’t remember my favorite lines from the Grinch. I’m devastated. It was terrible. I was quoting the Grinch because the moment was right and I couldn’t remember the quote and now I eat brownies to drown my sorrows. IM NOT ACTUALLY SAD IM OK. This week was really good! Here is the update with our investigators. Augastina her baptism fell through because her mom has to keep working on her baptism it's very hard to get in contact with her mom. Augastina is a 9 year old girl who is very good! Alfred BAPTISM DATE! We taught Alfred about baptism after church this Sunday and he wants to get baptized! He is very excited. April 11th. We know it is very far out but there is a language barrier. He can only speak creole, French and a little Spanish so it takes a bit to explain everything and we want to make sure he understands everything. Alfred is like a 6’5” hatiano with literally the biggest he...
