We're gonna have a wedding!!!

Hello Everyone!!!

This week was sooo good!!! I don't even know where to start!!!!

So our whole appartment is going to be redone! lLike they are going to put in hardwood floors and paint the whole place! I'm stoked! I love hard wood floors!!! anyway... we had to make a copy of our keys so we go to home depot! ONE OF MY FAVORITE STORES EVER! Because it reminds me of my dad:) And I'm gonna tell you alittle about the man who we had the pleasure of meeting!

Ok this is him, so first off his name: like litterally legit #hepulledouthisID his name is SANTA. what!?!?!? His parents are Native American #theydontgrowfacialhair !!! WHAT?!?!?! He has a dog like a huge dog who's hobby is to find baby deer and bring them back home.... So Santa has 9 deer at his house!!!! And where does he work? Home Depot right? yeah but in the kids section... WHERE HE BUILDS TOYS!!! WHAT?!?!?!

I'm loosing my mind right? NO! He legit showed us pictures of everything! So be good this year! Cause Santa's REAL:)

Then later that night we went to have dinner with jess and she taught us how to make SUSHI!!! I'm so excited! I seriously know how to do it! I'm not even lying!

Then on friday we had a huge miracle happen!!! So we haven't been able to see jose and estrella for a long time (estrella is a member but jose isn't) and we finally got to see them! We taught a cute lesson and then all of a sudden jose was like "ok so how do we get married? Because if I am going to get baptized I have to get married first" LIKE WHAT BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!! And their 4 year old daughter Andrea was sooooo excited!!! You guys the church is true and it really does bring families closer together and I am so excited to help one day go to the temple and get sealed together forever!!! Best day ever! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A WEDDING!!!

Then on Friday morning we went to Yasmin's house to help her and her family paint! SO I GOT TO WEAR PANTS!!! And the elders from the other mission came too... haha long story.. Anyway it was soo fun!!!! I love service with all my heart! Almost as much as I love pants... haha

But yeah it was a good week these are just a few of the highlights but if you want the inside scoop on the rest you'll have to write me first:) haha love you all so much! have a great week :)

Museums and Temples 3/2/2015english class!!!

This week has been UNREAL!!! We have been meeting a lot of great people and doing a lot of fun stuff!

On Monday we went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science! It was sooo fun! I love museums so much!!!!! It was so sweet!!!

Then on Tuesday we met a lot of awesome people and then later that night we played soccer and I SCORED A GOAL!!!!!! What!!!! It was really COOL :) (oh and I was the only girl playing) haha

Then on wednesday for english class we were learning about clothes and so we had everyone bring clothes that they didn't want anymore to class and we made a store and we used monopoly money! So people could buy the clothes they wanted! The rest of the clothes we donated to charity! Such a fun day!!!!

Then Thursday we went to the temple with Jessica! It was her first time and it was the BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! The temple is absolutely the most amazing place in the whole world:) I hope everyone gets a chance to go through it someday:)

Then the rest of the days were just busy and we meet many really wonderful people!!! I love my mission so much and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!!!

I hope you all have an amazing week and remember that if you are ever sad/stressed/mad or have other bad feelings, serving others and giving service is the best cure EVER!!! I promise with all my heart that it works! So get out and serve others! love you all so much!
