This week definitely had its ups and downs. It made for a weird week for sure. May the 4th was this week too so may the force be with y'all as well.
We
had a lesson with our friend Tabitha on Tuesday. She really liked what we
taught her about the Plan of Salvation and the Book of Mormon, we can
definitely see her progress in the future.
Wednesday
really threw us off track. We got a text from our bishop saying the Olatoyes
are legally divorced, meaning we can't quite baptize Remi yet. It caused a
whole mess of confusion and uncertainty when we tried explaining things to
them, but they still remain ultra faithful and are ready to do whatever they
need to get Remi baptized asap.
That
night I went on exchanges with Elder Stoddard to Pecan Grove, and the next day
after district council we ended up spending way too long helping the Sisters in
Eldridge Park do service for a lady. We helped cut palm leaves off, paint some
stairs, and detail her garden decorations. It wasn't anything I'd ever think
I'd help with.
On
Friday Bro. Martinez from the Eldridge Park ward brought us a bunch of food and
sat down at our outdoor lounge to discuss how we are in a fantastic place as
missionaries and our futures will be bright and blessed. It was super nice and
he wanted our moms to know that along with a heaping pile of barbeque we also
had some carrots to be healthy.
We
got to help Bro. Boyce on Saturday with yard work. He chopped down a tree and we
did the cleanup by bundling the sticks and raking leaves. We also got to see
Bro. Harris again who we try and see every week as well as visit our friend
Robert. We were exhausted by the end of the day being out in the hot sun
working and biking.
Sunday
was Mother's Day and I got to lead the primary children singing in Sacrament
meeting. There weren't a lot of kids, so I'm sure the congregation got to hear
some of my horrendous vocals as well. I also got to lead singing time in
Primary which was a blast. It's definitely something I never thought I'd do on
my mission, maybe ever so I'm glad I got that chance. We then both got to help
the children make some flowers for their mothers.
To
cap it all off, for our final p-day this transfer we went bowling as a district,
so it was a great end to a turbulent week.
I
want to end with my testimony of how much my mother has helped me get to where
I am, and has helped me learn so much about the gospel and Jesus Christ. I'm
grateful for her and everything she has done for me, even if I seem uncaring
most of the time haha. I love you mom!
