I wasn't scared of the dark but I am now!

November 9, 2020
Here's a funny story for everyone. So on Tuesday we had exchanges! Sister Nilson came to my area and we had a blast! So end of the day comes we are ready for bed and I'm turning off all the lights and making sure the doors are locked, the normal stuff. So the light switches in our house are weird and to turn off the main living room light, once you turn it off you have to walk all the way across the room in the dark to get to the bedroom so I turn off the light and I turn the corner walking through the living room to get to our bedroom and sister nilson appears out of the shadows and shouts DONT!... she was going to say Dont scream but she got to the dont part and I started screaming. Like bloody murder screaming because she scared me sooo bad. So I ran back across the living room and turned on the lights and we were both dying laughing from how bad we scared eachother. I wasn't scared of the dark before but I sure am now! Hahah it's been a couple days since that happened and I'm still jumpy walking around corners or in the dark.
Highlights!
1. Exchanges
2. Helping paola move!
3. I almost fought a squirrel
Exchanges with sister Nilson! She doesnt know spanish at all so I taught her hola como esta! And she started every conversation over the phone and in person with a latino and I continued the conversation after that but she was awesome. We made mole which is like a spicy chocolate on top of chicken, enchiladas or empanadas.
We helped Paola move into her new apartment this week. We helped clean on friday and helped move her stuff in on Saturday. It was really fun! We then went to McDonald's after.
Oh I forgot!!! I hit one year on Thrusday! Wow one year in my mission!
So on Thursday at the Japanese gardens we were raking bushes like one does. Yes I said that right. We were raking bushes. So we started raking this bush and I walk around the back and this squirrel runs at me screeching so of course I screamed which scared it off but then for like 30 minutes the squirrel kept running up to me screeching and then try coming closer but I kept grabbing my rake and as soon as I did it would run away. I was close to fighting that squirrel though. It would not leave me alone!
Wow I cant believe the adventures I've had! Every week is a new week and now I've completed 1 year! I am so grateful for all the experience that I've had! Whether they be good or bad, happy or sad, they have all taught me something. When the going gets tough!, the tough get going! I am so glad to be a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and that I have the opportunity to share the truthfulness of the gospel! I know the Book of Mormon is true and if we read it with a desire to know of its truthfulness then we will receive the answer we need.
Hope you all are doing great!

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...
