Everything's Bigger in Texas!

June 8, 2020
I'm here! I'm in Texas now! It's so humid here. I am in a Spanish ward in Houston so I get to speak Spanish which is amazing. My new comp is named Hermana Jorgensen and she is awesome. We like a lot of the same things. She has 17 months in her mission so I'll be her last companion. It’ll be sad to see her leave
We have someone on date! His name is Greby and he is ten years old. Hermana Jorgensen has been teaching him for a while and he is very excited to be baptized.
7 months! I officially have completed 7 months in my mission.
So far I've been in quarantine still. You can only call members so many times before they get annoyed with you so we are going a little stir crazy.
We can only leave the house for food and service. We volunteer at a garden center where we pick weeds and trains things and such. It's such an amazing garden center. It's called Herman Park. Look it up. It's cool.
It's just us two in our apartment so we have gotten to know each other very well. There are some other hermanas that live next to us so we get together and play card games a lot.
Well I love being in Texas and I know our Heavenly Gather works in mysterious ways. I know I'm supposed to be in Texas for reason whether that be for companions or for me. I love that I have the opportunity to go back out and serve. I don't know how long I'll be here but I'll make the most of it.
That's about all I got!

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...
