July 5, 2021 - Fuego trabajos

 Happy late 4th of July yall!! We got to watch the fireworks from our balcony last night :) well last week was pretty good. We had a lot of people cancel but we were still able to stay busy. We helped someone move apartments, pick some figs (I've never had one before and they are delicious), and shovel some more dirt at the gardens. 


And some great news.... Terry's baptism is this weekend!!! She had here interview on Saturday. When we asked her how it was she said, "It was Gruelling!....... but it was nice". Shes hilarious. Then last night we went over to her apartment and we walk in and she had made dinner for us! Shes so sweet :) 

We also got our new mission President last week and him and his wife are awesome. We have a welcome conference this Wednesday.

A cool miracle- so we were told we needed to be in our apartments by 8PM on Saturday and Sunday because of the 4th and we were visiting a family and we look at the time and it was 7:46 and we were on the other side of the island. So we hurried and rushed out of there and on the way home you could just see how after row of red lights. But as we drove on, every one of them turned green. God is good.

Love yall! Hope you had a good 4th 🇺🇲🎆💜

  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...
