October 26, 2020 - Me 'n my inmates

 Last week was AWESOME we did a ton of stuff. On Thursday we did our usual service at the Japanese gardens with Donna and Barbara who are both older women and they LOVE to talk- so fun. So when we were wrapping up, it was just me, Barbara, and Hna Crandall talking and I look over at Donna and watch her pounce onto something in the grass. I died laughing because it's not a normal thing to see an old lady do that. Then she walks over to me, opens my hand, and puts this frog in my hand. It had the longest legs it was awesome. Oh and at the other gardens, we helped rake up the grass that mole crickets had destroyed on the front lawn. While we were doing that, Barret- one of the workers- started singing into a rake, "Me and my inmates, raking up sod, me and my inmates, we got caught....". It was so funny. There were like 10 workers plus us listening to him and yeah, it was a nice concert. 

One day we went to Shipley Donuts to buy some donuts for the sisters. So we go through the drive through and me and Hna Crandall each order 2 donuts for them. Then we pull up to the window and the guys hands us the bags after we pay and then tells us that he gave us extra donuts. And sure enough, there were 4 donuts instead of 2 in each bag. We told him thank you and he just waved it off. Then, it turns our that the Sisters weren't having a very good day. Follow promptings- especially when it has to do with food.
We went to this family's house and talked with Maria. They're not in our ward because they go to the english ward but she doesnt speak english so we go over to read the Book of Mormon with her once a week and man she loves the Book of Mormon. She writes down scriptures and quotes and then tapes them all over her house. She has such a strong testimony- I love it. 
Lastly on Saturday we went and walked around Hermann Park. We ran into quite a few members which was funny. One lady and her kids were so excited to see us and they made us join their family picnic and eat some of their SubWay sandwiches. They were so nice. Once they realized we were hermanas they went OFF in spanish. Did I understand the majority of what they were saying? Nope. But it was fun. Oh and I got a caricature!!! Never done one before haha so me and Hna Crandall got one.
I hope yalls enjoy all these pics, sorry there were too many to choose from....

Love yalls!

  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...
