It's the Final Countdown *off key kazoo*

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 drive by and I would throw the potatoes in the car. What made it so funny was that there were so many cars and I couldnt keep up so it was me running around with like 6 bags of potatoes literally shot putting them into people's trunks and running away in the pouring rain.
We went out to eat at BurgerPublic and jammed out to Taylor Swift. Literally it is the best burger joint.
Our apartment complex did this cool bagel bar and gave us tons of bagels
We helped out with the new mission training on Thursday Morning. Some of the missionaries asked how long I had been out and I didn't have the heart to tell them I go home in a week so I said a little over a year.... they had just gotten to the mission.
Princess (17) and Princeton (10) are going to be baptized on May 15th! Sadly I'll be home by then but I am so grateful for marden technology and that I'll be able to call in! We have been teaching them the past couple transfers. After a very powerful lesson about the priesthood they want to be baptized!
Our friend Gift was taught the word of wisdom this week and she loved it! She said it makes sense on why we would have it and she said she would live it. 😊
This has been an amazing week! I cant wait to see all of you! My Homecoming will be on May 9th!
Love y'all!

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...
