siswag: ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON..... HOUSTON

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!

DEAR FAM,

Just a couple shout outs before we get started here. HUGE SHOUT OUT TO MY MOST BEAUTIFULEST MOTHER (fam I expect 98 coolers dumped on her for all the wonderful things she does for us!) My next shout out would go to RON ADS. Can I get a whooot whoottttt. We get another little wagger this week! Pres pres said I could fly in just to hear the first cry... he understands the situation that I'm kind of the second mother.... CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!!! I'm pretty sure I've always been the first one in the hospital room after the last four children but know that I am there in spirit!

Well I look like a small housewife today! Got this pink button-up rolled up and I've been having so much fun acting like a small housewife. Call me bettie crocker! Hna. Kirkendall is gunna kill me if I say one more housewife joke and it's only 1:36 so wish me luck! I found the Target in our area and you KNOW all housewives go to target in baby pink button-up shirts with the sleeves rolled up so I have to!

This week was the most beautiful thing FAMILY! I would say it was like a round juicy peach squeezed into Bluebell icecream. ohhhhh Easter here in Texas! I was too new and stressed to notice anything around me last year but wow I'm so glad I got to testify of my savior as his representative on Easter once again! It started out a very rainy gloomy day but slowly turned into the most beautiful afternoon with about every family from every country out walking the bayou. And the small bayou hills- ahhh it looks like someone just came and dumped blue paint everywhere! The bluebonnets have arrived and are blooming like popcorn! OH HOW I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!! i just can't seem to soak it all in quick enough!

This week I truly just feel like I met Angels this week.... and ya know the angels you meet in Houston aren't your typical white dress, white hair, perfect singing humans. they come in all shapes and sizes.....

Let me take ya to downtown Subway with 6' 4" Anthony. Best Friend needless to say.... hard day of biking 20 miles and I walk in and he just knew! He knew I needed that free chocolate chip cookie... But we go to that Subway with the girls in our district every Tuesday after district meeting. And Anthony is sooo cool. I am really working on teaching him how to expression himself right now because every time in line I'm like, "Anthony, how are you??" "I'm ok" and I always have to ask him what's wrong, you're just ok?? but he just says it's quickest to say that and no one ever asks what's up! So I've taught him how to express himself through different ways... So far he's told me he's better than a foot long meatball marinara sandwich. AND I'D SAY THAT'S PRETTY GOOD! He says he's coming to church this Sunday so lets hope he makes it!

Next let me take ya to the angels that were actual angels heard on high!!!! We have this investigator Jorge. He's come to church about 10 times now and he loves everything. He says he's never felt so good. He just can't except baptism because he was baptized into this church called Prophets and Apostles (please do some research for me on this church!) He says that he got baptized in the exact same way and we've testified BOLDLY that you will only find the authority that Jesus Christ had in this church and asked him to pray about the authority for about 10 weeks now. But Tuesday we are on exchanges and I was with this cute new sister, sister Davis. I had a feeling that we should teach him outside in front of the church and wow wow wow! Grandpa Stan, Leola, Evie, and great granny Mimmi (she's really been with me throughout this journey) they were all there! They were all cheering him on! After testifying, it felt right to invite him to be baptized on April 10th and he was just staring at the name on the church; THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. (if that doesn't just get ya I don't know what will) and he was repeating to himself 3 times. Mi bautismo fue bueno pero no era correcto, Mi bautismo fue bueno pero no era correcto, Mi bautismo fue bueno pero no era correcto. which means, my Baptism was good but it wasn't correct! and he said he would do it!!! please pray for him! He is our cousin Barry. Like no joke it scares me a lot! He is him!! But I'm so grateful for my grandiest grandparents!!!

Angels we have heard from houston and I have been lucky enough to testify along side of her would be HERMANA PALMER! She is my best little friend! We had the chance to take a little road trip just her and I out of the mission to a baptism of this girl we taught back in November who moved out of the mission! It was so fun to be with her since she is leaving in 2 weeks! You all have to go to her homecoming! April 17th at one o'clock. I will find the address!!! She has just lit up my life!!

Now I didn't see this angel but when I do I'm gunna give him a big ole'... nuggy! UPS MAN. OHHH HOW I LOVE YOU! I pick him a midsize born and raised Houston rockets fan... but mom your package was delivered straight to my Brazilian bungalow hot of the ups truck! It still smelt like home! How did you find the address that's the only thing that scared me? He's an angel.

THE MAN THAT WORKS AT BOOST WHO BOUGHT OUR LUNCH WAS AN ANGEL.

And my favorite little Angel Cristian!!! We took Jorge to a baptism in Houston one. That ward still has my heart!! I talked about everyone i could! But I was sitting by Cristian and it just made me start to cry. He leans over and he's like, "Hermana, I called Jorge (the guy that the baptism was for) last night and I told him exactly what you told me the night before my baptism. That Satan will make you feel confused and feel not ready but that isn't your Heavenly Father!" then hearing him sing I know my Savior lives in his little cracky terrible voice with tears in his eyes was so amazing! It was such a special Easter. It was like 8 o'clock and these ward members were like, "Cristian are you coming??" He's like sorry hermana I've got to go I'm in the choir! I was like, "what?? you like to sing now?" (he's really bad at singing) He's like, "Well no but I just love the activities at the church! I like being here all the time that I can!!" Ahh he's just doing so great!

next group of people.... I wouldn't say were angels but they were hilarious! Ever met a group of drunk Vietnamese people?? didn't think so. NEITHER HAVE I! most hilarious thing I've seen! We are standing out on an investigators porch and these Vietnamese people spot us! OHHHH SHOOTTTT they try speaking english to us but it was so hard to understand... "youuuuuuyouuuuu you guyssss liike beeeerrrrrr???" I was so confused. I couldn't understand so I just said, "nooo thank you!" and he opens his door and says, "come to my party." No joke. It was a small mircrat family on the run. They were all crawling over each other on the ground just crawling as fast as they could! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IN THE HEAVENS THEY ARE TEACHING THEM IN VIETNAM BUT IT WAS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!

WELL FAMILY NEEDLESS TO SAY ANGELS ARE HERE IN HOUSTON! FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

LOVE YOU ALL SO O OOOO MUCH!
