August 9, 2021 - You can hide but you cant run

 Another strange week in Galveston! Alright funny story, so we tried to visit this lady named Jennifer. We'd never met her before and she hadnt answered our phone calls so we went over to her house. Almost all the houses here are on stilts, so we walked up the stairs to the front door and we knocked. And we knock again. And we can hear someone inside so we know they're there. Then all of the sudden we hear a car beneath us start. They were trying to escape! So we went down the stairs and in that moment they knew that we knew what they were tryna do. So we waved and they hesitantly rolled the window down and we asked for jennifer. They just shook their heads. Guess we'll never know if that was ol' jenny or not. 


We also did weekly planning at the library and the fire alarm went off. Everyone kinda just stared at one another and then we started walking downstairs but then a lady yelled it was a false alarm. So we sit back down and a guy walks past us and says, "everything is gonna be alright ladies". We must have look petrified? Anywho, our fears were calmed.

We had a lot of lessons cancel this week but our friend Tiffany decided that she wants to be baptized on October 30th! Pretty awesome! She is going through a lot right now but the gospel of Jesus Christ can definitely help her. We're so excited for her! 

I love yall and hope you have an amazing week! 💜

  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...
