Snow Day!

February 15, 2021
Well today there is a snow storm here in Texas and we are currently without power or water. Its been a good morning. We have been banish to our apartments and we arent supposed to drive which means we cant go get our shopping done.
This week was a very busy week!
I kid you not we probably had about 15+ meetings this week. SInce we are STL's we are always on accountability calls and in meetings, plus we are apart of the Content Team! That means that we are in charge of everything that has to do with social media. we make videos, edit, quick posts, the ads and sooo much more. We are always in the office working on the computers and editing things. I've become an office missionary. Never thought I would become one but here we are. on the plus side we have our own personal laptops so it makes p-day so much easier.
We had this dope service opportunity! Us and 4 other churches all got together for a food drive! It was really fun. We were basically putting together bags of food for families that were struggling. The bags ended up having about 20+ lbs of food in it. The joke of the day was "good thing I lift" literally everything was sooo heavy. There were these huge bags of onions and basically the entire time I was quoting Shrek. It was a very fun time.
Everyone kept giving us hot chocolate this week. On four separate occasions people gave us hot cocoa. side note: starbucks makes really good hot cocoa.
Overall it was a good week! I am doing well. One thing I noticed this week was how busy I was! It was hard to see the miracles and the blessings since I was always running around and trying to complete things. I noticed that one of my favorite parts of the day was doing personal study and taking that time to study the scriptures and the gospel of Jesus Christ. They give me the most peace. Its hard in a busy world to stop and smell the roses but when we make time and put off the business of the the world, we can really see Gods hand in everything. Im so grateful for the peaceful moments that I find through Christ.
I hope you are all doing well!

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...
