 hiiiiiiii 

happy end of transfer pday !! 

another 6 weeks gone !! 

this transfer seriously FLEW by it's wild 

the past week has been focused on my baby girl karla !!! and our sisters we are over !! this transfer we did quite a few exchanges with each companionship and had so many long nights full of laughter and crying and council and support!! it's been a blessing to get to serve with these sweet sisters!!! we also kept pretty close tabs on our fav Adrian as well !!! so that was good !!! 

this week we ate A LOT arepas   with cheese and ham hahahah and then we also tried avocado and mayo and beans and Pico it was YUMMY it was so good !!!!! 

on Friday we got to have the cutest exchange with the hermanas and I had the best time studying with Hermana Ortega and taking her to institute and service at my favorite place !!! hand me up  it's the sweetest little interfaith thrift store !! then we ended the exchange with a SWEET SWEET picnic !! it was amazing :)) I love these girls !! 

dont worry after the exchange we spent a hot minute in the sun and I got to roast again and enjoy the beautiful 107° weather we have been given down here !! a good uv index of 10 lol 

Saturday and Sunday were filled with karala again!! making sure we could get her to church and it was AMAZING !! to have her there everyone was so excited to meet her and talk and the relief society lesson was an answer to her prayers and mine and it was so amazing !!! 

Monday rolled around and we had a second exchange haha so we had our last district council and district lunch and then zoomed over to twisted sugar for our exchange drinks of the day :)) it was YUMMY !!! then I got to go to the woodlands second and first area and be with Sister Phillips who is the GOAT we saw some amazing members I loved all of them !!!!!! and had dinner with the most amazing family!!! 

Tuesday comes and we eat breakfast together to end this exchange and then it's off to the races going to Klein to get baptism forms and a gift and to get karla a birthday present ontop of that !!! and then finally back to the Old Conroe building or our stake center to unlock the font and start filling it BUT GUESS WHAT no one opened it and so we had to stress about finding the key and getting that all done and then the elders came in clutch and were SO HELPFUL !! and so we got the font cleaned only 2 roaches to deal with and a few rolly pollys and then we started filling the font ran home and changed and then got Refreshments and then got to the baptism!!! 

okay so the baptism is at 7!! now remember karla is from Venezuela!!! and is 21 lol soooo we knew to expect that we would start 20 to 30 minutes late because all ysa events do that !! naturally !!! bishop pulled up at 7:20 knowing this info as well !! we get karla right on time at 7:24 haha but no mom to be found ... so then we are like it's fine we will do Refreshments and pictures first and then wait for mom. we get karla into her jump suit !! pictures going !! all the fun is happening rn !!! then we get mom YAY and we take come pics and start the baptism right on Latino time hahaha 8 pm baby 

the baptism was amazing so spirit filled !!! we got the opportunity to have an old elder and her sister call in and see it and we had so many pictures and memories for her and it's just so tender !!! here is the most tender and spiritual part PREPARE URSELF

Rodrigo the guy who was baptizing her forgot to say her name before the baptism prayer and placed her into the water and then she came up and bishop caught it and we redid it !! so she had to be placed in the water again and the prayer correct this time lol 

and then we went to help her change and chatted about her feelings and thoughts she explained that when she went into the water the first time she felt nothing lol the water was cold and she was just like what the and then she went into the water the second time with the correct prayer and she came out and she said she left her burdens in the water !!! she felt peace and full of light and she was SO HAPPY she just said she felt so much happiness!! and she said she hasn't felt that in ages !!! 

THEN she told us she had deja vu when we were brushing her hair so that was CRAZY !!! we were like you are exactly where you need to be !!! 

anyways that's my week full of just sweet sweet Karla and getting transfer news also WHOOPS almost forgot about that haha this coming transfer I am going to be staying in the YSA ward another transfer and will be training a new missionary coming in:)))) A GREENIE !!!!!! ANOTHER KID HAHA !!!! 

I get to pick her up friday and sister webb also is getting a trainie and so we are together until Friday just hanging around!! knocking a few more doors!! maybe we will pack haha visiting our favs to say goodbye until then 

it's been such a blessing this transfer to be a missionary and I can't believe I am offically ok my last leg haha I have 11 weeks left as a missionary haha so that's terrifying!!! but hey we aren't super trunky yet haha just the right amount lol
