I went bungee jumping... sorta

November 23, 2020
Well we were at the japanese gardens cleaning the koi fish ponds. We needed to get to a certain area of the pond but it was blocked off by huge hedges and the only way to get there was to climb over the bridge and jump down. I was volunteered! So I climb the side of the bridge and when I was about to hop down my foot got tangled on the vines that were growing on the bridge and those vines took me down haha. Luckily I'm pretty agile and caught myself and that the ground was very close but I was in a handstand position with my foot caught in a vine waving it around trying to get the vine off. Barbara was like "if that was me I would've fallen in the pond face first!" We were all dying laughing at me sorta hanging upside down by a vine. Fun time fun time.
This was the first week of a new transfer! Hna Christensen is just the sweetest! She is from North Carolina, she can play the harp, and is an amazing cook so I might come back looking a little "different" than before if you know what I mean hahaha.
We have been helping the Hermann park conservancy decorate and clean the train to get it ready for christmas and it has been so much fun! Everytime we go to the train barn they are blasting christmas music and it is a party.
We got a bunch of referrals for people wanting to know how to pray! So this week we have done a lot of praying.
I loved Russell M Neilson's message of hope and peace! I loved hearing his challenge about being grateful and showing others around you what you are grateful for! I have loved seeing everyone's posts and stories about what they are grateful for. I hope that this wave of gratitude can change the world and bring others a little closer to christ.
I love you all! Be safe! Times are hard but that's where faith comes in! We may not know what's going to happen or times may be uncertain but that's ok! Everything will be alright! God has a plan for all of us!
Take care!

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...
