September 27, 2021 - Hey mom my phone got stolen...

 Okay now this was a CRAZY week. It all started out with a fun exchange with Hna Jensen. Love her. We got some delicious sushi and met some cool people out in Jones Creek. When we exchanged back at the church, I got out my phone to take a picture with my girls but sis Stone beat me to it and so I put my phone on the hood of my car and we took the picture. We said goodbye and went back to our apartment. Thats when it hit me:


I LEFT MY PHONE ON THE HOOD

So we rushed back and searched the parking lot and along the road and nada. Many prayers were said. The next day we had district council and I told them at the end that I had lost my phone. Then Elder Nelson was like yo we can track your phone through your Google account. AND SURE ENOUGH! WE FOUND MY PHONE....In north Houston.... So we filed a police report and all that good stuff and we didn't really hear about it. Then that night we went to the church to prepare for zone conference and I thought of looking at where my phone was again. And this time it was 17 minutes away!! So we called President Richards and then the police and a couple hours later we were waiting in a Walmart parking lot with Pres at 11:30pm. Finally the police came and we followed them over to the house- both officers said they had never had success with these types of things. They went up to the house and we stayed in the car and a few minutes later they came back WITH MY PHONE!!! There wasn't a single crack in it or anything. God is so so so good. And of course I asked to take a picture with the officers. Great guys. 

We also ate alligator. Tastes like chicken. And we had zone conference! It actually went really well! We talked a lot about covenants and it had been so cool to learn about them. There's a scripture in Jeremiah 31:35 
"Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name"

I LOVE IT! Covenants tether us to our Savior and ordinances help us remember our covenants and also help us learn more about our Savior. SO COOL! We get to go to the temple TOMORROW and I am SO EXCITED AHHH! Our whole mission is going this week so we're all super excited :). 

I love yall so much!

  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...
