April 26, 2021 This is it! I'm on the last week of my mission! Honestly, I never thought I would make it. Its been 18 crazy months! This week was crazy. We basically had exchanges the entire week. I wasn't in my own area Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. On Tuesday we went to Reigning Strength and voulenteered there. We dis our leadership training and got to lead the horses around. My horse was named Winnie. We got to take pictures with the horses! *down below* Exchanges! We had a wonderful lesson with our friend Ani and the entire time she was falling asleep so it was really awkward. We went to a food bank and handed out food! It was pouring rain the entire time so I was soaking wet by the end of it. I was in charge of bagging the tomatoes at the beginning. I probably bagged over 1000 tomatoes. When it started I was in charge of the potatoes. Well everyone was driving by and not stopping *due to the rain and we wanted to get everyone out fast* so cars would just d...

April 29, 2021 Good Morning Everyone! This week was Crazy! My Comp was emergency transferred so I'm back with Hna Barton! We are finishing out the transfer strong! So many t hings happened this week. We were able to go to Reigning Strength Horse Therapy and help out there. We just volunteered by walking alongside riders as they rode the horse. We made sure no one fell off the horse while they rode. It was super fun! I was able to snap a couple photos of what the horse place looks likes and we just got permission to take pictures with the horses so next time I go, I'll get some! Deneatry! Deneatry was a self-referral online. She wanted to learn how to pray and find her purpose in life. She is awesome! She is the funniest woman and the kindest soul. She has so much faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement. We are currently teaching her the plan of salvation and she loves it! Exchanges! I went to Houston 4 (my old area) with Hna Beal and Hna Lister. We went to Kroger...

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...
