A week of ups and downs

January 11, 2021
I first want to send my condolences to elder Jake smith and his family. I didn't know jake that well personally but I did talk to him a lot at school or church functions so it was hard for me to hear of his passing. He always said hi to me and was so nice to everyone. He was an example of Christlike love. We are praying for him and his family here in Sugarland!
We had exchanges this week! Most of our lessons fell through so the day was spent eating lasagna and brownies. :)
We went bowling this week with the other sisters in our zone! I bowled a solid 106. Not too shabby for not having been bowling in like 2 years.
Everyone in our ward is sick with covid so at church today we gave talks and led the music last minute! Good thing I'm good at coming up with stuff on the fly.
A member gave us a goodie bag filled with candy and treats and gift cards for subway and Wendy’s! I'm soooo happy!!!
We helped our friend Heidi organize her house we basically helped her organize her Tupperware while she ranted to us on how much she hated her daughter's boyfriend. It was a very wild service time but she made us tacos and French fries so I'm not complaining.
This week we didn't do much. Just lots of lessons falling through and trying to call people who don't answer their phones. We have a new friend named Gia who is very interested in learning more! We gave her a book of Mormon and we are going to teach her about it! I'm excited to talk with her again.
I just want to finish with my testimony that God has a plan for us. That every little thing or experience in our lives is in our lives for a reason. We can do all things through Christ and as we take each day step by step, slowly but surely things will change and become better through him. I love this gospel and I love that I have a testimony of life after death. We can live again with our families and we can always find happiness in Christ.
Love

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...
