Singing to the Ducks

December 28, 2020
This is it! I'm leaving! After 5 transfer here in Houston I'm leaving. I'll be whitewashing into Richmond! I'll be serving with Hermana Lister! None of yall know her but I do! We served together in the MTC! We both went to chile but different missions and we both got reassigned to the same mission! This is going to be so much fun! So dont send anything else to my Houston address. Haha I'll miss Houston so much! I have loved serving here but the lord needs me in Richmond now!
Merry Christmas from Houston!
This week we had a very warm and very green Christmas. We did a lot to spread the good message of Jesus Christ. We learned Noche de Luz (silent night) for fun but then we ended up singing it to basically all of our members and our investigators and it brought such a sweet spirit to our lessons!
We went caroling at Hermann Park but no one was there so it soooo awkward but we had a fun time singing to the ducks 😊
Speaking of caroling, we went caroling to same of our friends in our apartment complex and some people in the parking lot heard us and wanted to hear us singing so we had a huge circle around us while we sang christmas carols! They ended up doing Facebook lives and filming us and hna Christensen came in clutch and was holding the Book of mormon front and center for all to see! It was so much fun. In the ende there ended up being like 8 of us sitting in a parking lot singing christmas carols at 8:30 at night in the dark.
We helped Paola and Her mom make tamales! It was so much fun! It was a real bonding experience with Maria. She loves food and we were able to share the gospel while we made food and she understood what we were saying! The spirit speaks in many forms and that includes while making and eating food!
That's about it! I'll have more to write next week since we will be having an adventure getting started in richmond but I just wanted to send a little email saying I'm doing well. Dont forget that even though the Light the World calendar is over, the lord has asked us to serve every day! We can show little acts of love in all that we do. Be like the Savior and serve!

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...
