Hey guys!!! So this week was good! We had a lot of meetings this week with our zone and meetings for the greenies. I was reading in Alma about Ammon this week and I was thinking of how we could serve people first, and then share the gospel with them. So this week my comp and I went service tracting. We got a bag with a bunch of cleaning supplies and went from house to house asking if we could do service for them. A lot of people said no but then we got to this ladies house and she let us in!! We cleaned her house with her and talked to her and her husband. They are hispanic which is even better! They themselves are catholic but they said they have a daughter that was looking for a church that wasn't catholic!! MIRACLE! They were super nice and are coming to the ward party we are planning.      After we got home I was feeling pretty sick. Hermana Harker and I both had a cold so we stayed in while our companions went out together. I had the worst headache everrrrrr. I had t...

This week was crazy but we were just busy doing missionary work. We had to plan a primary program which was fun but stressful. The kids are seriously so cute. We got locked out of our apartment one night so my comp had to boost me and I had to pull myself up over our balcony and go in through our sliding door. I'm sure that was a funny sight to see.     One night we were eating with a member and she came and put the food down on the table and I looked at the salad and there were ants everywhere!!! Crawling all over the lettuce and everything it was disgusting. Hey protein right??     I made French Silk pie this week and it was soooo good.     We got bible bashed again this week. Crazy how satan works through people. My testimony just gets stronger though so that's good.     My comp went to the Old Spaghetti Factory the other night to celebrate our week! It was so good, I got the Brown Butter and Mizithra cheese it was so good!! It made me miss my ...

Hey this week was good!! We picked up a new investigator named Perla, she's super sweet. It's a rule here that you can't hold babies or kids so you can imagine how hard that is for me. So many cute kids in my ward!! I made your banana cookies with frosting this week and they were so good!! I got the ingredients to make French silk pie so I'll make that for Easter and another for a family in my ward that is struggling. The people here are seriously the best. My ward is so missionary minded and they help us a lot with the missionary efforts.     So the other night my companion and I were sitting on this wall with a cool view of San Marcos while we were making some calls at the end of the night. My companion's planner fell off the wall. On one side of the wall is a parking lot but on the other side was shrubbery and stuff. She jumps down to get her planner and she falls right into a cactus!! She was crying and laughing at the same time but I couldn't stop laughing ...

Wow this week was awesome. So I went on exchanges with my Sister Training Leader on Tuesday. She is in an English area so it was such a relief being able to communicate in English. We did some service for an older couple in her ward. The wife had dementia and so she told us the same couple stories about 100 times. It took all I had in me to not laugh at her, it was so funny. Super cute. Okay this week was hilarious because 2 different times, we were at appointments and I made my companion laugh so hard that she peed her pants. PEED HER PANTS. Oh my gosh I have not laughed that hard in a long time. She can't control it. We had to just quickly excuse ourselves and go home because she had to change. Both times the members or investigators didn't even know but it was super funny. This week I came across a quote that says "Some men are willing to die for their faith, but they are not fully willing to live for it." I just thought it was super cool. We all ne...
