Hello fam clam bam! how is everyone doing?? ok news flash real quick BLUEBELL is BACCCKKKK on the shelves and ready to rooollll TEXAS! It's been gone since March can you believe that? How have i even been surviving you might ask? i have absolutely no idea. One day i ate raisins and you all know my feelings about raisins. NOT GOOD ONES!
So we are just having the greatest times here in the Houston 1 ward! This ward is incredible! In ward council one of the other missionaries was like "Hermana Wagstaff how old are you, 5?" I'm like what? I guess people haven't really seen 19 year old girls bring bags of waffle crisp to church. But it's the only way to get through meetings at 8am.
But anyway the ward is doing this program where all the leaders go once a week to visit a family that is less active. It's so cute to see all the relief society, primary presidency and bishopric out visiting people. It literally feels like we are playing a good old game of Fugitive at the ranch though. Sister Palmer and i will just be walking and a car pulls up next to us... Relief Society Presidency- "Hey sisters we are searching for the Sanchez Family. We went up on the porch and we KNOW for a fact they are inside but they wont answer." Thats when the games begin. It's a really cool program though because we have some amazing really strong members in the ward but so many less actives! So a good game of fugitive will always do the trick!

Marco wanted to see a baptism before his which is planned for next weekend. So we heard there is a eight year old getting baptized in the English ward so we are like alright we will go, he wont understand anything but at least he will see what it's like. WORST DECISION I'VE EVER MADE! So picture yourself going to a carnival for the first time thats all in a different language. We get there and they are explaining the spirit and putting blankets all around her, a full on armor suit, pull out a mega phone and start telling her to bare her testimony in it. Then they are telling her she will put on all the characteristics of Christ after her baptism and start taping paper all over her... I look over at Marco, already feeling uncomfortable myself. i forgot he couldn't understand anything and he just looks so stressed! Im like don't worry your baptism wont be anything like this! worst part was he couldn't even see the baptism! they open the doors to the font and it's just steaming everywhere. they forgot to add cold water so the little girl like screams because it's so hot. He's like, "Are you guys going to cook me?" I'm like "yes would you like carrots or zucchini with you in there??" ohhh man quite the experience it was. blessed to be in a spanish ward! love it so much!
sorry not much time to write! but i love you all so much and hey guess what? i like bubblegum and i LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!! lifes a beach! and you all are the bestest people ever!
