WHAT GETTING 20 ADULTS TO CHURCH LOOKS LIKE
Dear fam,
We are on isle 12. It's Monday April 4th about 5 o'clock at HEB (BEST STORE IN HOUSTON. not sure what it stands for. have enough bacon? heaven even brighter? hope everyones beautiful?? I'm not sure but I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! They have all their shopping carts and the workers do cheer. MY KINDA PLACE!) I'm just wondering what kind of week it' s gunna be when this grandpa pops out of nowhere like this is some sorta of hold up and tells me I've gotta buy the mint oreos. We get in a small debate but of course he wins. He's texas, old, got white hair, needless to say the grandpas always win! I share with him a card and invite him to learn more... wasn't interested but what he really wanted was a MINT OREO.... We shared our first bite on the count of 3 and BOOM BEST WEEK EVER!
Last night president asks if he can call us... don't know why but I basically died. He answers and he's like, "how are you guys doing?" we were like, "WE ARE TERRIFIED." He just starts laughing his head off... "perfect. right where I want ya! will you guys TRAIN A BABY MISSIONARY TOGETHER???" OF COURSE PRESIDENT. EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAD BABIES THIS LAST WEEKEND SO OF COURSE I WILL!! IT'S A GIRL!!! But ya know STILL so stressed! Having a baby there's just so many unknowns... will they like pampers or huggies?? will they like the binky or pmg? whole milk or 2 percent? what will their sleeping schedule be like?? what will they eat?? Do I need to cover all plugs with plastic or just the ones down low?? Will their crib be too soft or too hard? (no problems in our brazilian bungaloo) What personality will she have?? SO MANY UNKNOWNS! And this is their first time out in the REAL WORLD!!! You have to make it the best, easiest, most comfortable transition! You know my children won't be doing any crawlin, any walkin, it is straight running when she gets here! We are gunna get those downeast dresses FILTHY! I'm so excited! I can't wait to met her and i've just been praying for her for months! I've needed a new missionaries energy and faith lately! So we will give you updates when she comes out of the womb a.k.a mtc on wednesday and into our humble bungaloo!
We have this investigator Antonio... basically the cutest 72 year old man from cuba you'd ever find! SO COOL HOW HE FOUND US!!! He found one of our pass along cards and called the back number which somehow took him to the missionaries in Arizona. They called us and we have been teaching him for a couple weeks! He is trying to read the bom all the way through before his baptism date for april 24th. He is the perfect mix of Grandpa HR, Stan, and Devin Meier. Going over you know you'll hear a couple cuss words (we are workin on that), you know you will get 2 chocolate puddings and one klondik bar (just like stans orange juice and pop corn. and also hr. he lives off klondik bars. said he eats 3-4 boxes a week!noooo antonio!), you know there will be some hilarious under the breath comments, and so much laughing! He is such a hard worker and i feel so so sad for him! he lives here alone in the usa and he has to make pools and almost cuts off his hand every day in work. he doesn't have barely any food! I asked him what he was going to eat for din din and he pointed to the stove. i went and looked in it (hr mistake) spaggetioooos still in the can trying to boil. This member in the ward is obsessed with him and brings him food now! He told me i am a wonderful Cuban because i don't take life too seriously and i like to laugh! so looks like im moving to cuba! But his spanish... ohhh cuban spanish very thick accents! i'm just finally getting use to it! But we went on a small treasure hunt through his house yesterday gathering all his lighters! (NOW I CAN LIGHT MY CANDELS WHOOO) I think i got them all! He's like i don't understand why i have to stop smoking but if Joseph Smith said so and you guys came all the way here from Utah i will believe it! AND HE STOPPED! He's awesome and have faith like bacon bits on top of a salad! soooo good!!! (ohhhh jorge on the other hand... wont accept baptisms for the dead. thats why we won't get baptized right now so please pray for him and everyone!!! our little easter basket fam is doing awesome!)
Last story... bit scary! The singles in our ward planned the biggest, the baddest SSSSSPPPPRRRIIIINNNGGGG BASH!! They had all sorts of little stations set up, from Tiki village to Talent shows to water games out back. They asked us to come share a message at 12 to all the people. We show up at 12 (there were cops in the parking lot not sure how crazy they thought it was gunna get) and NO ONE SHOWED UP! it broke my little heart to see them looking out the windows and the whole bash started at 9 but looked more like a spring dash. Lucky this chinese man showed up and they were able to play one on one volleyball! Go to all the spring bashs in the world family!!! i love you so much!
Pray my water doesn't break before Wednesday!!! ha WE ARE SO EXCITED TO MEET THE NEW MISISONARY! love you more than all the bluebonnets in texas!!!
