DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE???" -Houston police 10/19/2015

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!! THIS WEEK HAS BEEN CRAZY!!!! 

FRIST of all great news: I'M NOT GETTING TRANSFERED!!! I get to stay in Houston! and I think I will stay here the rest of my mission! How lucky am I? I couldn't have asked for anything better!!

Second this week was one of the best:

Monday we went with Manuel and his fam to Kemah boardwalk! We rode on all the roller coasters and had the best time! I got a nice sunburn:) haha but it was amazing!

Thursday we went to the temple and it was beautiful! I love knowing that I can go to the temple and come closer to my Heavenly Father every time I go:) We are so blessed to have a temple so close!!

Saturday WAS CRAZY!!! Ok so my bike had some technical difficulties.. and so we decided to take the bus all day! It was awesome! Then around like 7pm we were waiting at a bus stop and everyone was staring at us.. a lot of creepy guys were trying to talk to us and yelling at us and everyone in their cars were asking to give us a ride... and then the police drove by and looked at us then turned around to come talk to us... they said
"what are you doing here?"
me- "waiting for the bus." my brain thinking-(like duh we are at a bus stop!) 
police- "dont you have a car?"
me-"nope"
police-"do you even know where you are?"
me-"yeah"
police- "well you ladies shouldn't be here... this is a really bad place for the two of you to be"
me-"ok thanks. we'll be fine:)"
Then they parked on the other side of the street and waited for us to catch our bus:) hahaha I was dying!!!

Then at our next appointment some guy tried to kiss me... super super awkward!! 

Then we left and he wanted to give us a ride but we said no way! And we started to walk home.. but then this car drives by and sees us and then stops... and starts to back up... I WAS PEEING MY PANTS FREEKING OUT! haha but it was a lady in the car and she was yelling at us to get in the car! 
lady- "do you girls even know where you are right now!"
Me-"yeah"
lady - "get in the car and I'll take you home! I will not let two young white girls with purses walk around this part of town! Did you know that these apartment complexes are known for having the highest number of gang activity in Houston?"
me- "yeah:)" haha too funny!!!
Then she gave us a ride home:) What a sweet lady:)

THIS WEEK HAS BEEN AWESOME! I LOVE BEING IN HOUSTON!!! I'M SO HAPPY I GET TO STAY!!! 

I'm beyond happy and I get happier and happier everyday! I know it's because I'm doing what Heavenly Father wants me to do and I'm becoming more like him with every decision I make:) 

Love you all so much! Have a great week! ttyl!
