Maria's Baptism

March 22, 2021
Hello everyone!
It’s official! I’ve started the last 6 weeks of my misson! What! yep that’s crazy! So on Sunday we received transfer news and Sister Willits is going to the Silver Lake area and Hermana Ralphs is my new Companion! I know nothing about her so I'll have more info on that next week. *update since writing this email* SO turns out Hna Ralphs got exposed to covid so depending on how her covid test goes tomorrow, I'll be with Hermana Barton for either a couple days, or a couple of weeks. This is going to be fun!
This week was great!
I tried crab for the first time, not a fan but it was fun to try.
Our Zone leaders came to our district council and brought us brownies. The brownies were actually homemade brownies but they didn't have any cocoa powder so they used hot cocoa mix instead! yep, they were some interesting brownies.
A while ago in served in the Houston 2nd ward where I baptized a sweet young lady named Paola. Well, at the same time I was also teaching her mom and this weekend she got baptized! She said she felt so clean coming out of the water and that she was so happy to be baptized! I am so grateful that I was able to drive back up to Houston to see her baptism. I loved being able to watch her testimony grow of Jesus Christ and of his Atonement. She has changed so much since coming to know the gospel. Its just amazing!
Overall this was a pretty normal week. It's spring break here in Texas so no one is in town which means that no one wanted to talk to us. Thats alright. That happens sometimes.
I hope everyone is 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...
