Well this week was such a great
week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its good having a car
because we are able to get to places so easily but it also means that
we have to drive the spanish missionaries everywhere and drop them off
at places because their area is so huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tuesday was such a fun and scary day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the morning
we had a meeting with our zone and then afterwards we all got lunch
which was a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we went to go drop the
spanish elders off at their apartment but it started to get really
dark outside and really windy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then all of the
sudden the tornado sirens started going off and it started to rain
really bad and it started to hail the size of
grapes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We called the mission office and they
told us that there were tornadoes that were coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So there were the four of us hiding in the apartment from the
tornadoes!!!!!!!! Then the spanish Sisters called us because we were
supposed to go and teach a lesson with them and we told them we had to
hide from the tornadoes!!!!!!!!!!! They told us to meet them at this
members house because we were going to have the lesson
there!!!!!!!!!!! So we went over to the members house and it ended up
being a surprise birthday party for me with all the missionaries in
the zone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a lot of fun and I loved
it!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a party while the storm was going on and we
were safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then that night we had dinner with the
Starks which was really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on wednesday I went on
exchanges with the Dallas 6th ward missionaries and it was cool to be
able to spend the day down there!!!!!!!!!!! We got to teach a lesson
to this girl that used to live in Newport Beach so it was fun to be
able to talk to someone about newport!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is getting
baptized the beginning of next month and the Dallas 6th missionaries
talk about her all the time so it was good to finally meet
her!!!!!!!!!!! Then on thursday we planned for the day and then we had
a lesson with marcus after lunch and it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He
is doing great, he was at church on Sunday and it was really nice to
see him there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we had dinner with
the Aguilar family which was really good!!!!!!!!!!! Their conversion
story is in the February Ensign!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at night time we got
to go over to the Hospital in Carrollton to give this girl a
blessing!!!!!!!!!! Her and her mom were there!!!!!!!!! They live in
Rockwall but she had a soccer game in Farmers Branch which is why they
went to the hospital in Carrollton!!!!!!!!!!!!! She got a
concussion!!!!!!!!!!! On friday we got to help at the Bishops
Storehouse in the morning which was great!!!!!!!!!!! I always love
doing service there!!!!!!!!!! Then we met with Brother Karlovich in
the afternoon and he is doing much better!!!!!!!!!! Last time we met
with him he told us that he didnt want to be a member anymore but we
told him to pray about it and when we met with him on friday he said
he still wants to be a member of the church!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so cool
how Heavenly Father answers our prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All we
need to do is ask and he is more than happy to answer
us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saturday we had a really good day of trying to
find people to teach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to talk to a lot of
people all day which was really good!!!!!!!!!! Then we had a lesson
with Emilyn in the afternoon which was really great!!!!!!!!! We got to
read from Luke 22-24 and talk all about Easter and then that night we
went to the Easter Cantata that the Carrollton stake was
having!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Jesus Christ so much and Im so thankful for
the opportunity that we got to celebrate his resurrection
yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a great day at church and the wards
had really good easter programs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love being a
missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is just so great to be constantly serving
everyone around me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that you all have
awesome weeks and see many miracles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
would love to hear from all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
