The case of the missing package

June 22, 2020
The story starts three weeks ago when I first arrived to the mission. Sister Elgaans parents sent Sister Jorgensen a package as a surprise for her being on her last transfer but the package had the wrong address on it and it went missing. Sister elgann told us we were supposed to get a package on the 2nd of june and then it was the 18th and we still hadn't gotten it so we did some digging. We figured out which apartment it went to and we asked the dude at that apartment if he had seen it and he said he had but he left it in the mail office... but we had already checked the mail office and it wasn't there so we spent the next 40 minutes calling everyone and their dog trying to find this package. We didn't find it, but! The next day at lunch we get a call from the apartment office saying one of the workers there had pulled all the boxes out that had been there for a while and was going to send them back tosender and he happened to look through it and found the box! So we found the package and in it was an UNHOLY AMOUNT OF CANDY... so now I'm fat and happy in bed eating Hershey bars and starbursts.
Greby came to church again this week! One more week until he's baptized!
I bought a hammock and hung it on our porch and now we lay in the hammocks and contact people on facebook. I also bought a plant and named it corn dog Because its leaves are shaped like corn dogs.
It's been thunder storming all week so we've been stuck inside.
We went to this Japanese garden that they have here in Texas and it was amazing! They had these cool ponds and turtles everywhere!
I read Mormon 9 this week and I recommend you guys reading it too.
In Ether 12 it talks about how God can make our weaknesses become strengths so everyday as I try to be a missionary I know with God's help I can do anything.
I'm thankful to be out during this time. I know that I can make a difference in someone's life. I don't know who,but someone in Texas needs me.

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...
