May 10, 2021 - God Loves Galveston

 Wow what a week!! Last week was the longest week ever. We did so much! Sister Grimes is the best, we had a blast. We did some service at the gardens, we helped someone in our ward move, we helped this guy with his BBQ, taught an english class, taught our friend Terry how to make friendship bracelets, and we got to meet a ton of people. Galveston is awesome. It's a cool little island with a lot of squished together houses. The people here are either med students, tourists, or just plain weird. It's a good time. 


We were walking around this neighborhood trying to see if some people were home when we saw this woman on her porch and she asked us to tell her the word. So we sat down with her and told her about Gods love for her and how He has a plan for each if us. We gave her a Book of Mormon and started to talk more about when she asked us if we could quickly leave because it wasn't her house. So we got her number and left. We definitely think it was a drug house or something like that. I'm just glad she told us to leave haha. But it was a really cool experience, we could all feel the spirit. My go to scripture lately has been 1 John 4:16

"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him"

I know that God is love. He loves all of us and He does have a plan for each of us, no matter where we are or who we are. 

Also, please keep Terry in your prayers, shes trying to quit smoking :)

Love yall!!!

  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...
