The Black Eyed Peas

August 17, 2020
First off, I don't have covid! I was just fat sick :) I've gotten over the fevers, sore throat and ear aches but I've still got migraines that make it kinda hard to work. I'm still trying my best to be positive and look for the good times ahead.
Even though I was sick, I went to the Zoo. Sister Allen's birthday is coming up so we all went to the Zoo to celebrate! There was no one there. It was a ghost town so it made the zoo very fun because we practically had the whole zoo to ourselves. My favorite part was the snakes. They had these huge 11 foot long snakes in this huge building. I enjoyed it alot.
We met a girl named Paola. She is amazing! We started teaching her this week and we've basically called her everyday this week and taught her. She loves the church and the gospel and we are hoping that she will accept our invitation to be baptized!
So it wasn't the actuall Black Eyed Peas like the band. We didn't listen to boom boom pow or I got a Feeling. (Those are songs by the band Black Eyed Peas). We were given a bunch of black eyed Peas by the master gardeners at the garden center we volunteer at and told to cook 'em up so we did. We put them in some chicken broth with bacon, onions and some seasonings. We simmered them for 3 hours and they turned out sooooo good.
We had exchanges this week, exchanges are weird now. We do it over zoom so I went in one room and she went to the other room and we had exchanges. Pretty whack.
Training is going great! We still have lots of meetings every week.
We met some neighbors in our complex and they saw us playing board games once at a park bench and now we do game nights with them! It's a good way to get out of the house and meet people.
We made a spanish version of the Book of Mormon throwing video and a tagalog version and the bloopers are hilarious haha. We can't speak tagalog for the life of us.
A scripture that we've been sharing a lot this week is Moroni 10:4-5 by the power of the Holy ghost, ye may know the truth of all things. As we have faith and a sincere heart and true intentions when we pray, we can receive help and answers to our questions and problems. He is always there and listening. He knows what we are going through and he knows exactly what we need and when.
Just trust in him and his tithing. Everything is happening in our lives for a reason.

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...
