Yo yo yoooo waz poppin!! This week is kind of hard to describe so bear with me!      Start off with big news, I am now the district leader and that is amazing and i am so excited to learn and try my best to help others along the way!      Elder Layton has left our trio to work in the office for the next few weeks until he leaves on Dec. 28 th for England. So now it is me and Elder Dille, haha, 2 greenies living in the barn… nothing can go wrong… right? Haha     Also, happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Haha     Me and Elder Dille aren't too smart with our money… we buy toys all the time, hotwheels, legos, mini skateboards, framed pictures of the most random things, literally if we smile when we look at something we buy it hahahaha my mom probably won’t want to hear that but it puts a smile on my face and that’s all that matters:)     Today I wanted to talk about something that I had to face this week that is very hard… and it invo...

Welp another one down my guys! This week was just full of crazy stories so let’s just hop into it so it’s not that long haha     So long but we met this lady and her name was Beryl. We met her two weeks ago. She had said yes to baptism the day we met her if she found the things we were telling her were true! So awesome, so we set up another time to meet and talk about the church and the history behind it! So exciting, Wednesday rolls around and we walk to her apartment. I see her through the screen door and she’s panicking inside her house, mumbling, telling me something about bills and letters and money. I am like, what!? Obviously, I didn't say that but thought it! Lo and behold she just got robbed 15 minutes prior to us coming. She was freaking out “call the bleep cops my phone got stolen too”. I ended up calling the cops and they said they were on their way. SOOOOO confusing… we found out later she has dementia… she thought we were the cops when we first rolled up and trie...

Yayy It’s official! I've been a missionary for 3 months now!! And there’s not a lot to talk about this week:)     First off, our pet Fred(s). They are starting to run away from us and there are very few out and about now that the weather is turning colder. We are still able to catch a few though. Also, my toenails, in case you are wondering, hahahaha, are still painted. It has been over 4 months now since they got painted on my Lake Powell trip and yet they are still a pretty color. Not sure how. hahaha!      Soooo, the scary guy with a gun in his waistband… turns out he is VERY interested in the church and is always inviting us over for lunch or dinner just to about anything. He is so loving and is SOOOOO hospitable. He STRIVES to come to church but his busy school schedule doesn’t give him a lot of time but wow he wants to so bad!! I’m not sure if he’s interested in converting but he is VERY interested in us, ahaha. He is always telling us “if you EVER feel un...

Welp another one down mis amigos!! This week was definitely an interesting one. haha I am not sure where to start!      Pet Fred… if some of you remember him, I change out the pet every night so we don't kill them but we always have a little lizard in our jar haha! And our rotating pet keeps us good company. Unfortunately we found another dead pet Fred. He somehow got squished in the door frame and became a pancake. hahahaha But as you all know, "he's still a good pet":))     An elder had surgery so Elder Layton had to sit with him for the day and I GOT TO DRIVE!!!! Oh wow! What a feeling it was to be behind the wheel again. I loved driving that whole day! ahhh The walk-up songs are and going to continue. haha I don’t know a lot of songs by heart so it’s hard to switch them up every now and then. BUT… speaking of walk-up songs, we went to a baseball field complex, and WOW, did that put me in the feels of being home ahha. I miss baseball so much. I found 3 baseba...
