Only in Houston can you talk to people from Afganistan, Nigeria, Rwanda, Congo, Jerusalem, and all over central america and south america. It was super cool that we could talk to all of them. Actually, we are teaching the family from Congo and Rwanda. They're sooooo cute!! They're teaching us their language Swahili and Kirwanda. How legit is that?? They are so happy when we are trying to use it!
Speaking of them the picture of the avocados that are HUGE!! (if you can't tell in the picture, they're almost the size of my head) are from them. We teach them English and they just give us so much stuff. They have so little, but they always want to give us things. How adorable are they???
We also went to their church and it was soooooooo cool!!!! They had someone try to translate just for us and we got to sing all their hymns in their language. They even chose come thou fount because they knew we knew it!!! They were so happy that we were there. It was adorable :) (the picture is part of them) but the coolest thing of all is 8 of them came to our church!! and now the English elders can go and teach them!!!! They're so cute and going to get baptized :):)
They kept telling us how happy they were that we were there and that we are their sisters and it was just adorable. I really like them a lot :)
Tono came to church again, he just won't get baptized!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it will help him so much. Please pray for him. He's passed his interview and everything and he knows he needs to, he's just procrastinating. Man, I feel like I get that a lot. But he's awesome. We're getting more and more members involved, so that he can get in the water and be clean!!!!
Raquel, Carlos, Karla, Alison, and Ernesto all came to church yesterday and they love it!!!!! They're sooooo excited to get baptized!!!!! Once we teach them everything, they'll be able to be baptized and have all the blessings that come from it!!! Love them tons :):) we are sooooo blessed in our area.
With all those blessings though, wow, we are so busy. Some days we are frantically running around trying to get to all of our appointments and it can be a little stressful, but I love being busy. It makes life better.
We did get to go to the temple!!!!! That was awesome!!!!! I loved it!! Really needed it too. But now I want to go back again. Can't wait to be able to go all the time at home.
Yep, this week. a little bit of everything. it was a little weird, but sometimes that happens.
Love you all tons!! Have a wonderful week!!!
