siswag: What the world needs now....

DEAREST FAMILY,

You know you are living in texas when then sun hasn't even come up over the bayou and it's 97 degrees and your eyebrows feel like raw meat. IT'S SUMMER ALRIGHT. AND COULDN'T FEEL BETTER! So my momma here wanted to take me to Galveston for one of our last p-days and pres pres said we couldn't go because then all the other missionaries would follow us. she has a little temper like she just chewed out all these workers at walmart this past week. she's hilarious! But needless to say i had a dream that instead of going to Galveston i took her to oly high school where Jenn Goodman told me i was performing at half time. SOOO SCARY. All I had was my bike shorts and my G'S they made me do a stunt....AND EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING. ASK ME IF I WANNA COME HOME AFTER THAT?? NOOOO.

What the World needs know is love, sweet love, it's the only thing that there's just too little of. We've got bayous and bluebell enough to fly. We've got cockroaches and Shipley's enough to die.... TILL THE END OF TIME! WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS KNOW IS LOVE, CHRISTS LOVE, IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT THERE'S JUST TOO LITTLE OF.

shout out to my fav movie- best friends wedding. That movie and i have some good memories here in Texas. I only watched it 7 times driving here. And that's what I've realized this week. All people need is Christ love. There is far too little of it in the world. AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO is recognize it! It is simple. He's always there whether we deserve it or not. Every single one of our investigators has told us this week, "i just want to feel Christ's love. How do I do that??"

Well here's a small formula

Get on your knees + serve + stop thinking about yourself + recognize the good = lots of Christs love

We have this investigator Miguel. He's a little rugrat alright. He's come to church for about a month and he should be getting baptized this week. I have had some of the most powerful lessons I've ever had in my mission with miguel. He's heard everything, every last anti thing about our church. Right down to asking if we are really associated with the ihop gang.Joseph Smith has been really hard for him to accept. And I really have never had a problem with anti before so I'm so so soo soooooo very thankful for the spirit but I really could not tell you one thing that I have told him. I've had to completely rely on the spirit and it's been an amazing experience! But through it all he knows this is true and all he wants is CHRIST PURE LOVE.

2 years ago he was studying with elders. He got kicked out of his house. His parents hate mormons! He moved in with a high school's family and we went and taught him at his house last week and in the middle of the lesson he's like shoot!! they walk in and they are like get out of this house now! WE GOT KICKED OUT! I have never been so terrified in my life! They hate us too! Satan has really been trying to not get Miguel baptized. He was suppose to get baptized on Sunday but the high school friends parents invited this woman that use to be mormon but is now catholic to talk to him. BAD NEWS! he has heard it all. Miguel walks to church everyday by himself. It's about a 5 mile walk and he wants to receive a remission of his sins so badly. He loves the Elders and they have been teaching his as well. On Saturday they had a 2 hour lesson with him at Mcdonalds when this black guys walks up and was like, "bible study! can I join!!! i love bible study." ohh you gotta love texas! the people here are hilarious! pray for miguel everyone!

Saturday was Hermana Maynes b-day I planned an OFF THE CHAIN surprise party with my mamma hna. rapalo! we kept it so secret not even hermana ruiz my other companion knew about it! soo much fun! the ward is awesome! I have the best companions and I love love love these members!

well gotta go to shipleys. TRYIN TO MAKE LIFE BEAUTIFUL!

LOVE YOU ALL MORE THAN ALL THE STINKING EGG SMELLS THAT COME FROM THE BAYOU
