summers almost over! wooowwwwhhhooooooo
Hello Warriors,
(yes that is what a man said to Hermana Palmer and I as we walked past him on the street) There are some FUN people here in Houston. You never know what they are going to tell ya as you walk by.
So we got to do more service at the homeless church! ohh man it is seriously so much fun! i love it! They always make us link arms and pray with them. can i get a HALLELUJAH!? This week was quite the experience though... This black lady named Scoobie would throw me a watermelon that were slick as a babys bottom and I'd have to throw it in their gift bags. I love Scoobie (remind me to invite her to my wedding) We had each other rolling all day. Especially when the people yell at us for more food. We put pineapples in everyones bag but then had to take them all out because they were rotten and man everyone was going NUTS! People were running away with whole boxes of peaches... But all of the people are darling! i love them so much! ohhhh but also dad i don't know how your carrots are in the garden but these carrots were the size of my thigh! they were amazing!
Soooo let me tell you about a little miracle I'd call it! You can imagine how hots it's been. I mean you wake up at
6:30 to work out -100 HOT, go out contacting all day -110 HOT, come in for dinner -100 HOT, go back out till
9:30 -100 HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT allllllll dayyyyyy long! It never cools down. (BUT ONLY ONE MORE WEEK OF AUGUST!!!) ANYWAY we are both just dripping one day sooo sweaty. looking like a small jungle animal. And this darling white girl jumps out onto the sidewalk and yells SISTER! COME IN! (I'm like what? someone knows who we are?) She reminded me of Tiffany Varner. Just as darling as a bag of bagel bits! And they tell us they are living here for the summer and her husband is a geologist. They travel the world for his job. They sail, she takes a cooking class every other night just to keep herself busy and find friends. I fell in love with them. THE BULLS they call themselves. They asked me what i was planning on doing after the mission... i was like, "No joke I'm changing my major." so family i'm here to tell you- your daughter, friend, sister, neighbor, whatever i am to you is now officially a... drop roll please... GEOLOGIST! i know nothing about rocks and i guess you could say i don't really even like rocks but I've heard of metamorphic once and i know im scared of earthquakes sooo im stocked! She was so cute she's like "Let me make you lunch really quick. It's just a really casual thing but here." PULLS OUT A CAFE RIO SALAD IM LIKE NOOOO YOU ARE GOD SENT! Later this week i've been trying to be like the Bulls making "casual salads" with the toppings in stripes... (don't worry i'll include a picture) she also gave us the dressing! ohhhh guys it was the great miracle on such a hot day! Bless the Bulls!
one more story! so one day we were just simply knocking the door of this less actives door (back with hermana johnson) ... of course didn't answer but Heavenly Father sent us to that area for a reason because as we were walking back we ran into these guys named Marco Antonio and Daniel. Such cool guys!!! They contacted us! they were like we have seen you around here please come visit us! They came here from Mexico and they were telling us their story of coming here... it was AMAZING! It took them 9 days of walking, swimming, and running. One of the guys that came with them didn't have shoes and his feet were getting so blistered he was going to just go to the border and turn himself in because he had had it. But Marco Antonio gave him his shoes and he was able to continue. They made it here and they were telling us, "We didn't really know why we were suppose to come here. But now we do because you guys brought us this happiness." We were telling them that life is alot like their little journey here. It probably seemed long and never ending but compared to the eternities, life is short and there will be a lot of challenges. It's been so cool to see them grow to be better friends and roommates through the gospel. They have come to church together for 3 weeks straight now and they are loving it!
Well Family i love ya'll. I hope everyone had a FANTASTIC SUMMER!!! love you so much! I'm a geologist! Ya know there really is sunshine in my soul... and it's fabulous!
