Four apartments #115

December 14, 2020
Christmas conference! We had Christmas zone conference this week. It was a blast! We ate lots of Texan bbq and sang a lot of christmas songs! We talked a lot about putting Christ back into christmas and what we can do to be more like him and to serve.
So on Wednesday we went to an apartment complex to pick up food from a member and oh boy did we have an adventure. So we knock on her door apt 115! well a guy answers and we are like hi! We are looking for rosa. Well he is like I'm not rosa *no duh* so we told him that she lives in apt 115 and he goes there are four apartments labeled 115! There are what? So we make the trek to the next apartment 115 and no answer, so we go to the next apt 115 and the door creaks open and we cant see inside but we hear someone go "what do you want!" We say we are looking for rosa and he is like I'm not rosa *no duh again* and then we go to the last one and a sweet old lady answers! Well she isn't rosa but she yells at us that she doesnt live in apartment 115 but that she lives in apartment one one five (115). She was confusing. So we make the trek to go back to apartment number two labeled 115 and finally someone answers and its rosa! This was not a small apartment complex and we got sooooo lost. We wandered for like 40 minutes.
We biked the bayou for like 3 hours and talked to everyone and their dog. Literally. We met sooo many dogs.
I got attacked by a dog. We were dropping off cookies to a member and dog came running at me in the hallway and I ran sooooo fast. The owner saw and grabbed the dog but there was a minute where I became Benny Rodriguez from the sandlot.
Well how is everyone doing!? I love hearing about yalls week. Hope you are all doing well!
Don't forget that Christmas is all about Christ! Christ has given us so much. He really is the gift that keeps on giving! I hope you all can find something to give to christ this year. Some ideas: bearing one another's burdens, comforting those that need it, feeding the hungry, being patient, learning of him and so much more!
1. Remember a while ago when I went digging for graves? Well apparently a member took photos of me doing it so here ya go!
2. Us biking the bayou

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...
