An Unholy amount of food!!

December 21, 2020
Wow.... this week was hard but it be like that sometimes 😅
So we had some awesome lessons with our friends!
Maria Fernandez: so we have been teaching her for a while now and she wants to be baptized! January 23rd! We are helping her gain a testimony of the gospel and we are so excited to be here along the journey.
Maria Escobedo: yes so we have like 4 friends all named maria so it gets veeerrryyy confusing sometimes. We gave her a Book of mormon and read it a ton with her this week! It was fun to read it and explain everything.
Hna Christensen and I gave talks in church! So I talk about Jesus Christ and she talked about the Sacrament! So after church we get called to go to the relief society room but for some reason they wont let us in. Well eventually they let us in and we walk in and there were HUGE christmas gift baskets for us! *us as in all the missionaries in the ward* Like the relief society members all donated a bunch of food and stuff for us! Like it was just wow! It really was like christmas. They kept giving us food! We ended up getting a huge thing of Juice, brownies, cake, cupcakes, a HUGE apple pie, some fancy cheese, bratwursts, yogurt and a huge basket of food! Like what! *see attached photos* I'm literally going to roll off of the plane in 5 months from how much food we were given 🤣🤣
We had a huge service project at interfaith ministries where we put together christmas bags for the elderly! It was so much fun!
So if you noticed I only talked about the good things during my week. Why? Because if we focus on the bad we will only see the bad and all the blessing and miracles will pass us by! Everyday was hard in it's own way but at the end of the day I could see so many miracles! There were too many blessing everyday to be sad. As we focus on christ, the bad things in our life are still there but they get easier to endure. I know that with christ as the focus of our lives, we can find true happiness.
I hope you are all well! Be safe!

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...
