This is not Dulce de Leche

ebruary 8, 2021
Good morning everyone!
I got transferred! I'm in an English area now as an STL! What! Yeah. It's crazy. My new comp is Sister Willits. She is from st. George and we are already having a blast quoting vines.
Our apt does get mail so here is the address!
1901 waterside village dr.
Apt #254
Richmond Tx. 77407
Our good friend Irma has a desire to be baptized! She comes to church every Sunday and loves the feeling she feels in sacrament. She is getting baptized on February 27th! Pray for her! She knows almost everything about the church so at this point we are helping her gain a testimony of Jesus Christ!
We went to some spanish bakeries and I was disappointed. It's alright. I keep comparing everything to Chile and it's all better in Chile.
We had a great lesson with some less-actives in our ward. We discussed Doctrine and Covenants and they are excited to started come follow me! So in their house they have their grandma, the parents and their kids. well, the grandma doesn't speak any English and the kids don't speak any Spanish so it was a weird lesson of spanglish. It was very confusing.
15 months! I've been out 15 months now. Wow! That's crazy. We got some dulce de leche and croissants to celebrate. I first tried making dulce de leche because why not and it failed miserably. It looked like a crappy peanut butter pudding thing. Good thing H.E.B makes it better than I do.
Most of our lessons canceled this week so we had lots of time to find. We went to parks, stores and pretty much any place with lots of people and nothing. It's like that sometimes. Even when times get hard especially as a missionary, you've got to laugh it off! Look on the bright side of things. God has put so many things in our life for a reason. Whether it be people rejecting our message or simply stubbing your toe, God has a plan for everything. I'm so grateful to be participating in this great work! We really are called to serve and everyday I get to wear his name and be an example! I may mess up or say the wrong thing but that's where the atonement comes in. I'm so grateful for my loving savior who gave me the chance to repent and become like him.
I hope you are all doing well!
Love ya!

3. The district! Yep it's just us and the elders. Technically this photo was illegal but not illegal because we aren't supposed to meet up but this was at the church in front of the members.

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...
