Hello friends!!! 

    This week was. Something else. Mostly the last couple days. But. It was a good learning experience… This one might be long. So let’s get into it 🫡

    Some random things from this week…
— TWO MONTHS IN THE MISH BB!!! 🥳 I am officially two months on the mission. That is super exciting. — some kid broke his wrist. we didn’t see him brake it but his wrist was not supposed to look like that 
— apparently outer banks is coming out with another season Oct 10?? whateva 
— did a service and had some BUSS empanadas. Like. They were soo good. The lady also had the FATTEST cat I have ever seen. like. I can’t express to you how fat this cat was. And the moving was so very unorganized. 
— we lost Josiah 😔.  His mom told us “oh were not interested.” that was really sad. 
— There is an Arab man we see every morning on our walk. And he is always so excited to see us. It is so funny. Gonna miss him 😢
— We got kicked out of a complex!! That was super fun. The guy was super nice abt it so that was good. 
— we almost crashed full force into a tesla. But luckily Sis Heaton slammed on the brakes, like literally, and we were safe. So that was exciting! 

    That’s it. moving on 👇

    Got my first TDOC .(transfer document) SO SCARY. Transfer news came out and guess whaaattttt??!?!??🥁🥁 I’m not staying 🤯😭🤷‍♀️🥹🫨  Kinda sad ngl. Also was not at all expecting to leave. I was under the impression I was staying in Magnolia. But that’s ok. I am going to Sweetwater in Zone 5. I will have Sis Benoit as my companion. Have no idea who she is but apparently she sat in front of us at the Padres game. So that’s cool. I am nervous and excited all at once. And poor Sis Heaton has to trade appartments bc the Swahili elders are getting four people in the area instead of just two. And we live in a four man, so they’re trading apartments. Anyways enough about transfers. Let’s move on. 👇

    I had my second exchange this last week. Woot woot!! My exchange was with Sis Aldridge! She is so so fun! She asked me questions on how I’m feeling as a missionary, and things I want to improve on. The point of the exchange was to have me lead the area. She also helped me to figure out my next steps for improving as a missionary! So we set some goals for things I can start working on, and I have slowly been putting them into action!! 

    The Magnolia ward missionaries had a lil meeting between us 6 and Brother Weber to discuss the issues in the ward. And we concluded that the ward doesn’t have a good relationship with the missionaries and they don’t really fellowship our friends. Along with that we as missionaries could find better people to be baptizing. So we are both in the wrong. Kind of. But. This is like a serious issue bc it makes it hard to baptize people and keep them active when the ward doesn’t fellowship. And missionaries in the past have baptized the most random people and so that’s why the ward doesn’t like us. But. We are working to improve as Magnolia missionaries and the relationship with the ward! yay! 

    We had some good lessons this week. We had a two lessons with Michelle. And they both went well. She said she wants to get baptized. She was on date and we dk what happened with that. So we have been working to get her ready again for baptism. One of our lessons we talked about baptism and what it entails. And I think she is really interested and she seems really solid. So that’s good!

    We stopped over by Tiffany’s Sunday. She recently got a massage chair and it was. SOOO. NICE. She let us use it and it was Heavenly. Really needed that honestly. But that was really good. 

    Had two member lessons. One was on the exchange and we had some buss tacos. We shared a message abt the bom and it was super that family was super nice. We had another one on Sunday, wild. I was dying Sunday let me tell you. Anyways, it was good, food was good and we read the verse of the day and asked a question abt it. They were high energy and bouncing off the walls. But the dad’s testimony was really good. 

    We had a lesson with Vanessa. One of our new members. She lives in the scary group home next to the church. We had a spontaneous lesson with her and the spirit was so strong. Like it was really good. I hope she learned a lot cuz ik I did. 

    Had another lesson with Nahia. I am actually so sad that I’m leaving the Hildebrands. They are so amazing. But the lesson was good. I hope she gets baptized soon. She loves it when I say “answer” everything she says “question.” Gonna miss them. 

    Had a lesson with Terri and Javier. They are new people. Terri got two bom from her daughter. And so she had us over and we had a lesson. It was really good. Unfortunately she is going to Europe for 2 weeks. So I won’t see her again. But they seemed really interested. 

    Saturday there was a cutesie music event that the stake put on. It was like Rock and roll 🤘🏻.  But like Christ centered. It was really good, Vanessa went and so did Ginger! That was exciting stuff. I fr thought Ginger was gonna dip on us. But she showed up and it made me really happy! 

    Sunday. Craazyyyyy. First. We had two new friends that we had contacted a while ago show up to church, and we have lessons set up this week. That’s super cool. Second, we got interrogated abt James’ (the 9 yr old) records. That was fun. Third. We were at Tiffany’s for like almost two hours and my allergies were bad. And then we went to a dinner and they had even more dogs and I was DYING. It was so bad. Fourth. We went to the church and had a district testimony meeting. It was really good! I loved what everyone said. It was very spiritual and very impactful. I took notes and have a testimony journal. And I’m gonna write in it every district testimony meeting, and see how my testimony grows. So that’ll be fun. 

Quote of the week —

“do you think God appointed Trump to be a type of savior?” – Orlando (guy we have phone lessons with) 

Spiritual Thought —

In our district testimony meeting, I really liked what elder Hancock emphasized about asking for help. And we are all gonna struggle at one point or another. And it is important that we reach out for help. Especially from Christ. Especially when we don’t want to. It can be hard to reach out sometimes bc we think we can do it on our own. News flash 📸 we can’t. We are going to ask for help. And I know that as you put your focus on Christ and ask him for help he will help you, and as you look for it you can notice how he helps you. Jesus loves you!!! And so do I! Never forget !! ♡♡ 

Hope you are all doing well!!

Peace ✌🏻and love🩵
