July 27, 2020 - Gold Teeth

Last week went by SO fast. I think the most exciting thing that happened was when we went to a members house and helped her clean up a bit because she is going to move. Let's just say, she had an unholy amount of stuff. And she needs all the help she can get to help her clean. During this experience, I was going through a basket full of stuff and asking her what she wanted to keep and what she wanted thrown away. I handed her a bowl with some random things in it to look through and she said, "oh there should be two of my gold teeth in there, I was gonna sell them!". So I proceeded with caution and (thankfully) found neither of her gold teeth. 
We volunteered at the gardens again and weeded. It's super nice to get outside. I am still amazed by how many lizards and ants there are here, it's a little excessive. 
Hermana Crandall and I also made a picture of Christ out of ripped up pieces of paper and made a time lapse video of it for Facebook (we're always making things to post on our Facebook...) and it turned out pretty good. 
We taught a couple people about the plan of happiness last week. I love that our Heavenly Father has a plan for us. And the cool part is that he doesn't just have a general plan for everyone, but each of us has our own unique plan. That shows how loving, aware, and thoughtful God is of us and I love that. My favorite scripture that I read this week was 2 Nefi 31:3- give it a read 👍 oh and this lady Gwen bought and brought us some food! She is the nicest person in the world I love her so much. 
Hope yalls have an amazing week!!

  Anddd another long week haha but this one was fun! Our friend Jaqueline wants to be baptized so that is so so awesome! She really wants her family to be involved too so we are going to teach her family this Saturday.  We are helping 3 other people prepare for baptism. Jacob is going to get baptized on the 27th with his sister and I'm so excited for him!  I got to go on exchanges with Sister Stone and we got to paint someone's dresser and barstools. Good times. I love her. We had our ward Trunk-or-Treat and we were elders haha. I think we won the costume contest.  Heres a scripture I really loved this week: Mosiah 5:12 "I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of God, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you" Love yall!

  Last week was amazing!! I got to go to the temple twice- once with Lili and then the next day with the other missionaries that are going home with me. It was so fun. Lili loved it!! When I was at the temple with the other missionaries, I read in Luke and this verse stood out to me- Luke 1:79 "To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace" This is why we have a prophet today and why we need our Savior- to show us the way back home to our Heavenly Father. I also got to go on exchanges with Hna Davis! We went and ate at this members house. She was showing us that she painted her fingernails green. Then a few minutes later she opened the fridge and her green salsa fell an her feet... after helping her clean it up she looked at us and said "look now my toes are painted green too". It was funny. Then while she was in the bathroom washing off, I was able to pour my beans (they don't agree with my stomac...

  LILI GOT BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY AND IT WAS AMAZING. AND we're going to the temple on Thursday with her to do baptisms for the dead. WE'RE SO EXCITED.  Wow a lot happened last week. Lili got baptized, we had our Zone conference, we had exchanges, we had service at this place called Reigning Strength where kids with autism go and ride horses to learn how to balance, talk, etc. It's incredible.  At zone conference, one of our leaders, President Rascon, said that the best leaders are the best followers. I love that so much. Christ is the best leader. But He also followed God's commandments perfectly. Sometimes we think we can only be one or the other, but why not both? That's where we can learn the most and have a lot of experience but also still be humble enough to take people's counsel and advise.  God is so good. Texas is awesome. I love Hispanics and their hospitality and love. And I love being a missionary. I may have been called to Argentina, but Houston is de...
