"Not tonight, Not tonight"
Hey family and
friends!!!!!
Man what a week
what a week haha. Sooo we will
start with the sad.
So Saturday
when we pulled up to pick up Tim and the family for the baptisms. They weren’t
home. We looked everywhere for them and then as me and Elder Nau sat in front
of the font quite sad and defeated, we got a call from their aunt and she yelled
at us and told us that she doesn’t want us talking to her family... So back to
square one, haha and to add insult to injury somebody still had to pull the
plug in the font hahaha so I was trying to pull it out with a long stick and
slipped and stepped into the water and soaked my shoe lol.
The good: The
good definitely outweighed getting stood up at the font this week haha and
after the whole non-baptism fiasco we went to the wedding of our recent convert
Whitney. I sloshed around the
wedding with one soaked left shoe haha. Kind of weird being at a wedding as a
missionary. But I felt so proud to see Whitney and Meaghan get married in the
church and have their eyes set to the temple and just it was so cool to see
them and Whitney is really one of the coolest and most humble and awesome
people I have ever met. I love him and that was so cool!!!

Another awesome
cool thing was our good friend out here and partner in crime, Sam, gave his mission
farewell talk. Weird to be a missionary listening to his talk haha I was just
thinking to myself, “Oh how you have no idea what you’re about to get into Sam.”
hahaha but it is all so much fun!!!

Carmel (the lady who has been in the hospital receiving dialysis) will be
baptized this Saturday, which is awesome.
Also Freddy will be baptized soon. He is the kid that saved his
dad’s life in the shooting the other week haha he is so awesome. His dad calls
him Super Fred!!! I love them!!!
Everything is
super good. I have been studying a ton of the Pearl of Great price lately and
my love for the Plan of Salvation is growing a ton. We are so blessed to have
the peace of mind of knowing about our purpose and where we are going after
this life etc. I can't imagine thinking that all this life is is just earth and
then that’s it! I am so grateful
to have all the knowledge I do! I just want to tell everybody. I love my family
so much! I have the greatest family. It really hits you hard when like nobody
out here has any love in their lives. I appreciate my mama so much more now and
everybody should take the time to appreciate those around them.
Love you all!!!
