Burgundy Ties and Weddings

March 29, 2021
Hola!
This week was a fast one! Time is really flying by! Hna Ralphs (my real companion) doesn't have covid but she is still really sick so I've been with Hna Barton (a temporary but still awesome companion) for the entire week.
Hna Barton and I actually have a lot in common. We both swim! She's from Herriman and competed many times against Skyridge in swim meets so we probably swam against each other! what! thats crazy.
This week we officially started volunteering at a horse ranch. We will go and take care of the horses and walk them around. No worries, we aren't riding the horses. They are very particular about cellphones and they don't like to have them out so I don't actually have any photos of the horse place so you will just have to trust me that it is awesome.
This Week the Pecan Grove ward elders had a wedding for some friends of theirs. They are a bike area so when they were asked to go get ties to go with the wedding colors, they asked us to go get ties for them. We went on a very long adventure looking for Burgundy Ties. Finally after an hour and a half of talking to people and looking for a single store that even sold ties, we found some ties! It was a fun adventure.
So on Friday, the wedding couple needed more help for their wedding and they asked us to help out! It was awesome! I had a blast helping out at the wedding. It was a small wedding and I was asked to hold the camera for everyone who was on the zoom call.
On Sunday we were leaving for church and it turns out a moving truck was parked right behind our car and had blocked us in! We couldn't find anyone to move the truck so we ended up biking to church. Normally that wouldn't have been a big problem but it was pouring rain outside. So we biked 10 minutes to church in the pouring rain. When we walked into church (barely on time) I was soaking wet and I was getting everything wet. It was definitely an adventure.
With Easter and General Conference right around the corner, I want to invite everyone to watch it! I know that if you have any doubts or questions in your life, they will be answered in General Conference. I am so grateful for a living prophet who guides us today.
Love you all!
See you soon.

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...
