A blast from the past

February 1, 2021
Hello everyone! How is everyone doing? This week was normal.
We had mission president interviews and mine was like 5 minutes. Basically he was like "how are you doing?" "Can I help with anything?" and I was like "I'm good" and that was it.... that's all that was said.
Oh I did meet some more Chilean Members and it was awesome! we talked about the things we loved about chile and things we missed. It was so fun talking to them. She told us how she makes desserts with manjar in it and so we are making manjar this week. (Manjar is like a chilean caramel)
We went all the way out to Foster (about 40 minutes away) and did our weekly planning at a huge fishing pond. Our area is huge and Foster isn't even in the middle of our area. So to go from one end of our area to the other is about 2.5 hours.
Our friend Leonardo has such a desire to learn more about the gospel and we started doing Book of Mormon studies with him. It's been really fun!
Luis and Silvana are two friends that have recently discovered the church and they have so many questions! They accept all the answers with give them but its question after question so slowly but surely they will come to know the gospel of jesus christ!
We went to a couple spanish bakeries to try them out. (Chilean ones are better) We also went to a garage sale. There wasn't much there but the member we were with wanted to go so we went with her.
We met with Ross! ( a lady a while back who taught us how to salsa dance) and she is amazing! We started reading the bible with her. She has a lot of faith in Jesus Christ and she loves sharing her testimony with others.
Overall this week was very normal and not much happened.
I hope you are all doing well! Take care

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...
