November 30, 2020 - Preachin' to the cows

 Last week was awesome. We're still not allowed to eat in people's homes so we met as a district at the church and had Thanksgiving there. Members still made us food so we picked it up or they dropped it off. There was SO MUCH food it was amazing. 

One of the families in our ward has some cows and the girls had been begging us to go see them so we did. They were so cute they were all like 4 or 5 months old and I wanted to smuggle them back to our apartment. They also had like 50 chickens and a stubborn little goat. It was a great time. 
We met this lady named Stacy this week and oh my goodness I love her. She loves to talk and we gave her some movie suggestions and she watched all of them that night. Then yesterday we called her and shared the story about Peter walking on water and so we talked about faith and later she sent us a screenshot of a picture of Jesus walking on water that had popped up on her Facebook feed. She flipped out haha. She was like oh man this is a sign that something big is going to happen!
Also...... LUPE WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED we are SO EXCITED. So him and his 2 grandsons, Patrick and Robert, are going to be baptized on December 23rd! And he is going to try to stop smoking so we made a deal and said we wouldnt eat sugar if he didnt smoke. I'm a little nervous... But oh my gosh I love that family so much. We have lessons in their trailer or outside around the fire and I just feel so happy when we're with them :) 

(Also it rained a ton and our ceiling is leaking... only directly over my bed)

I hope yalls had a great Thanksgiving!

  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...
