best kickballteam
best coaches 
best cheerleaders
best meals 
best car wash
best support group ever

I bet you are wondering what the email title means this week haha this week we had an awesome time at this stake kickball tournament!! it was literally SO MUCH FUN!! as sisters we were the coaches of team 3 named the BACK PAINS haha we almost won but in fact max and matt messed it up and cheated and so we lost but it's fine we would have won!! 

we were coaches yes but honestly we were more cheerleaders and the older youth boys were the coaches haha so I was cheering my heart out!! it was literally the best haha having red hands and a course throat the next day was awesome!!! felt like home haha I miss cheerleading lol and it felt good to be a cheerleader again! 

y'all what a fun LONG WEEK haha I've been on the missionary grind from last Monday to today haha it's been so fun!!! we had like the most awesome dinners and chats with our members! and for one dinner they dropped off a whole chicken from Costco so that was top 5 on my mission dinners for the laughs I had in the kitchen pulling apart a whole chicken haha we have so much still it's CRAZY!! 

this week we were doordashed some tex mex BBQ it was the most Texan food ever I LOVED it!! it was so yummy it came from my new favorite member!! 

this week I also gave a talk and that was awesome!!! first talk on the mission and while i was talking it threw me back to my kentucky days when I talked like every month haha and I remember how much I love talking!! it was the best topic and such a good way to remember my Savior AND my mission family the garzas came and they are my favorite humans they all pulled up for me🫢🏻🫢🏻EXTRA love for them!! also my fav inactive youth Colin came to support me after we invited him and that was tender!! he even blessed the sacrament after not being up there for a year!!! so holy moly HAPPY!! 

also last thing lol zone conference was yesturday and we had to delete Facebook so send me all the fun pics of us haha because I can't see them anymore :((  

also zone conference was on my favorite topic!! loving people!! it's the best!!! I love talking about God's love and how infinite and unwavering it is and how we can be that support to someone else!! it was the best ever!! it reminded me why I was going to serve a mission and why I wanted to be the missionary they knew loved them with all their heart and so it really got me PUMPED to be a missionary again so LETS GO!! 

anyways quote of the week for y'all comes from my bestie Elder Giles with 
"you're not dumb, just wrong" 

framing that bad boy haha 

I love you all and know God loves you so big!! have such an awesome week and remember who you are!!

I'm vibing in the new area and thats CRAZY we've seen a million miracles and met the sweetest families!! I am falling in love with these wards. 

covering two wards is SO hard it's using all my brain power to remember who these families are and their stories!! AND to add to it we are in the same building as my last ward so I see all of them too. it's wack haha love to see the whole Cypress gang 

we are on the grind with so many families!! we also are down from a trio to a companionship and that's SO CRAZY our apartment is not stuffed to the brim anymore haha so we can actually walk around and enjoy our apartment now haha 

we are at bucees per usual this time though WE ENJOYED THE BIG BUCEES !! Sister laris enjoyed her bucees time!! and at bucees I saw a member from my first ward. the Hosford family !! they came out of no where and this family was special because they were on our inactive list to check up on. I loved this fam but didn't think I made an impact I just loved them ya know but brother hosford who is the inactive one came up to me ALL smiles and gave me the biggest hug ..against the rules.. lol but it's fine haha.. he was so excited to see me and said he missed me in his ward and said I was a ray of sunshine TEARS came from my eyes!! NO CAP πŸš«πŸ§’

i was sunshine for them πŸŒžπŸŒžπŸŒž

also I saw the dentist who fixed my crown haha so I was seeing EVERYONE!! 

we are teaching the sweetest family!! their names are the bogarts!!! they feed us EVERYTIME we are with them!! and it's like a HUGE meal everytime haha but I tried eggplant, garlic, spread over some bread and it was GAS! craziest combination but it was SO GOOD!! we have spend HOURS on HOURS at their houses haha I feel like I'm trapped sometimes haha but hey anything for the lord!! 

we also met a part member family that I LOVE I will be at her house 25/8 I love her vibes and home and food SHE IS THE BEST COOK!! we had the most amazing Indian desserts EVER!! also her son plays baseball and she wants us to come watch to meet the whole fam and who can pass up on a missionary opportunity at the baseball diamonds!!
