If one more thing breaks . . .

August 3, 2020
This week was zone conference! We missed half of it and here's why. We were in zone conference via zoom and someone bangs on our door so we go and it's a bunch of big dudes saying our pipes are broken and that they need to come in and have a look and around and I'm like hahahah nooooo. Let me call the office to make sure that this is true first. So I did and it was true. Our neighbors pipes had burst and the pipes are connected to ours so they had to cut holes in our ceilings to get to the pipes. so I let them in and they went to our closet and starting hacking at the ceiling.
We aren't allowed to be in the apartment with men so we left and went to the other Hermanas apartment in our complex. But that point we had kinda missed a lot and we were really confused.
Flash forward to the next day, we biked to service at the garden center and it was amazing! We rode through forests and I had a blast. After service we biked home and as we were bringing the bikes in the men appeared again with tools to fix our ceiling we let them in and left again. We went to the hermanas house and we went to get our car fixed because we have a car part that got recalled.
At the car shop they said we have two recalled car parts that need to get fixed and put car alignment is way out of whack. We called the mission office and they to get it all fixed so we spent the next 5 hours at the car shop! And they wouldn't let us inside because of covid so we walked a mile to McDonald's and spent the day at McDonalds. Meanwhile hna Eagar and I are still sweaty and gross from biking to service, gardening for 2 hours and biking home from service. I smelled soooo bad.
So this week our ceiling was hacked at, our pipes broke, and our car was broken. I'm doooooone with broken things right now. This was all in a two day span of time.
It's been pouring all week but we've been having a blast in the rain. One day we were studying. I was at my desk and hna eagar was in her hammock and we saw a huge flash of light and a huuuuge bang! Like shook the house bang and you know when the bass of a song is really low and it disturbs your heart beat and such? Yeah it was like that. So there was a huge bang and I just shot up and was like HERMANA!!! COME INSIDE!! I ran over and she was already flinging open the porch door. We were dying laughing because it scared us so bad.
Proud moment.... I got to throw a baseball around with THE JEREMY GUTHRIE. Look him up if you don't know who he is. Currently he is my mission president. He was a former MLB pitcher and now he is a mission president. He invited my district to go throw the ball around for a bit and it was a blast! I got bitten by tons of mosquitoes and now I have like 10 plus bites everywhere but it was worth it in my mind.
I want to share Helaman 5:12. With all the rain and flooding happening in texas right now it seems appropriate. I know that if we are built upon the rock of our redeemer and have a sure foundation in him, then we can endure the storms that we are in and that are coming. I'm glad to be a missionary right now and I know that I am able to share my light during these times.

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...
