I'm Violet from Willy Wonka

April 12, 2021
Well.... I'm going to have to be rolled off the plane in three weeks from all the food that we were given. Here is a list of everything that we were given this week
1. Chick-fil-a meals
2. Cinnamon Rolls
3. Baked spaghetti (enough to feed 15 people)
4. 15 Rolls
5. Caramel Cookies 10x
6. Hamburgers
7. Brownies (I say brownies but it was a brownie cake thing) it was cookie dough with oreos on top, with brownie batter on top of that, topped with chocolate chips, topped with icecream.
8. A Watermelon
9. An unholy amount of grapes
10. A huge amount of grilled chicken
11. 10 huge oranges
12. A huge pan of Grilled Broccoli
13. Mashed potatoes
14. A ton of pork
15. even more gravy
16. French fries
17. A giant Easter Egg filled with candy
18. And a cookie whipped cream salad. (I dont know why it's called a salad because one bite from that thing will kill you.)
Needless to say, I'm not going shopping this week for food because we have tooons of leftovers and we are getting fed even more this upcoming week. It's like that one scene in Willy Wonka where they literally roll Violet away. That's me.
This week was Zone Conference! It was my last one. I gave my final testimony! Crazy! I never thought I would get to this point. We also won the cleanest car award and I got a signed baseball card! It's the one thing I've been trying to get my entire mission here in Texas. If you don't already know, my mission president is a former MLB Pitcher. He's got some really cool connections.
We had a ton of lessons this week with the members of our wards. We talked a lot about General Conference. In specific, we talked about The Prophets talk about faith! Faith really can move mountains but when our mountains dont move, God gives us the faith to endure. Something that came to mind was the Iron Rod in Lehi's Dream. The people who were going to the tree were surrounded by darkness but they kept pressing forward! They didn't know how long they were going to be walking or how long they would be in the darkness, but they had faith that things would get better and change. I know that as we press forward we can find that joy and light in Jesus Christ and his Gospel. I've been so grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve a mission the past 17 months. I'm still going strong! I've still got three more weeks to serve!
We didnt have very many lessons this week with the people we are teaching. I kid you not when I say everyone was off the grid and no one would answer our texts or calls.

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...
