August 14, 2021 - Sweaty Swedish Sisters

 So today is our pday because we have a bunch of meetings next week so here we are. Even though it hasn't been a full week, A LOT has happened!! We have found 4 new friends to teach and have been handing out Book of Mormons like crazy. It has been so fun to talk to everyone around us!! It is also SO FLIPPING HOT HERE I have never sweat so much in my life. Its disgusting. 


We have some funny stories. One man asked if we were Swedish. So we decided that we were the sweaty Swedish sisters. It has a ring to it. Another guy, after we asked him if he or anyone he knew was interested in a message about Gid, just replied, "uhhhh I-I'm just smokingg pottt?.". It was hilarious. Then we met this guy named Dexter-definitely high on something- who is going to have a food truck and we're going to be his first customers and we get to eat for fwreee. No complaints here. Ugh I love people. So funny. We also met this guy named Jim who offered to take our picture and then he edited it for us. Haha nice guy. 

We also had a new english class on thursday and 6 peeps showed up! We weren't expecting that many to come so we were happy. After the class we were putting tables away and Sister Gariby walks by and is like oh hey yall and her husband cautiously walks up and calmly says, "would anybody like a bird?". He was just holding this little scraggly ball of feathers in his arms. It was so funny, he looked like a new dad who had been up all night. Sister Gariby was trying to give it away and wow it was just hilarious. We were all dying laughing, except for Brother Gariby who was silently following his wife around with the bird in his arms. Priceless.

I hope yall have a fantastic week! 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...
