Dear Family, 

HEY FAM HOW ARE YOU GUYS? SUCH A FUN FUNNNNN WEEK! I LOVE THE FOURTH OF JULY. I mean i love all holidays but i just get so excited to celebrate anything! i don't care what we are celebrating. it is always so fun! i mean i couldn't even sleep july 3rd i woke up at 5:50 and did a small dance routine off my comps beds. SO STOKED IT'S THE FOURTH OF JULY. WAKE UP! THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO! It was so so hot on the fourth- just how you'd expect a texas 4th! All our investigators just camping out inside because they have no idea what this holiday is but needless to say we CELEBRATED ALRIGHT! 

Tuesday we had an exchange in MAPLEWOOD with Sister Fish'iahi and we were out biking for a good 10 minutes when the storms of all texas storms hit home. TEXAS I LOVE YOU! i looked behind me on the bike and it looked like the sky was just going to eat me!  like a huge smoky fire took over the sky and it lite me of fire alright! My little pink easter dress quickly turned into a striped red candy cane. WE GOT SOAKED! i was laughing my head off it was so fun! we finally found a small local gas station and we were waiting outside because we didn't know if we could go in so drenched when this homeless man showed us just about every tumor on his stomach. the darling little man from Iraq quickly told us we could come and "make ourselves at home because the storm wasn't going to let up for an hour." he pulled out three chairs in the middle of the lottery machines, the wine, and the beer. sir noooo we can't make ourselves at home! Hna. Ruiz i never know if they have all the things we have heard of in america. so she was like i want a treat and just walked up the the cash register without picking anything out. i walk up behind her like ok how do i go about this to not embarrass her. i start explaining a gas station to her in spanish how you go pick out your treat first them come up to the counter. she just looks at me and in english "I'M NOT STUPID. WE HAVE THESE IN MEXICO" she just wanted one of the special treats behind the counter... oooppps my bad!  But God was nice and sent lots of fun people to contact in the grocery store. Personal fav.... IAM rapper name from Miami just passin through. loves god! The Iraq man kept giving us chips "church discount!" THANK YOU SIR I LOVE YOU! when the storm let up we jumped back on our bikes. sister fish was like "shoot i lost my favorite sweatshirt." we run back inside to find it... search team high and low. looks like we really did make ourselves at home it was laying in the middle of the iced drinks just covered in ice! 

Saturday I sent the pic of us cleaning... we have been trying to get Leticia to come back to church for quite some time we finally decided to show up in our work clothes and tell her to put us to work. she was so excited! i was like, "i will clean the bathroom!" (didn't want anyone to have to suffer through that. ya never know what you will find these days) shes like ok! HANDS ME OVEN AND GRILL CLEANER AND FREBREEZE... already so scared! she's like ya just spray this everywhere works like a charm! i'm thinking in my head do you want your backside medium rare or WELL DONE! GRILL! i then look at the caution on the other side... wear gloves and eye wear. i was just spraying it everywhere. toilet,shower,sink inhaling everything! that's when the burning sensation hit all parts of my body! poor dear can't read english probably had no idea what kinda cleaner that was. she didn't complain about the toilet so it must have been WELL DONE! 

ward party- TO DIE FOR! first we crashed the english ward breakfast because 'aint nothin like an english ward 4th of july breakfast! THen we got to be in the bellaire city parade! what what! i thought everyone was cheering and getting so excited when i waved to them and passed water out. NOPE stinking elsa and bell were right behind me! but needless to say i just kept filming them and now we are great friends! our ward party... lets say 2 kids showed up. kelly and Angel.... BUT NO PARTY IS A LET DOWN PARTY! so we still grilled up and lite the meat and instead of a bike parade for the kids! we got a soccer game going with all the adults! our investigators loved it! and they told me i should try out for the women league! i think they were just being nice but there is hope in the world! 

THIS WEEK WAS THE BOMB! SO WELL DONE! NOT EVEN MEDIUM RARE OR THE SLIGHTEST BIT BLOODY! SOOO GOOD. as good as a triple wammy tri-tip on the grill! I LOVE MY MISSION AND MORE IMPORTANTLY I LOVE MY SAVIOR AND THE PERSON HE IS HELPING ME BECOME! 

LOVE YOU SO MUCH FAMILY!
