Mother's Day Skype

Loved seeing and talking with our cute Brandon!

It was the clearest and shortest lag time of our 4 skype/facetime.

Brandon is doing great and loving his missionary life.

We look forward to him coming home in July~

Super Amazing!

I really don't know what to put for the subject sorry. But this week was GREAT!!! Super amazing! The weather cooled down a ton to the point where I wake up trembling and have to turn off my fan and put on my hoodie.

Also we had interviews and multizone with president Adams (mission president) which was super cool and I saw someone get baptized in like a pool thing haha really cool.

But... I tried to stop drinking soda. I forgot to tell everyone but I went 2 weeks without soda, and then... Elder Burrell tempted me to drink a swallow of Root Beer he found and had a swallow left... ughhh forgiveness is hard. But This week except for that I haven't dranken soda since. But things are going good!!

Trying to Finish reading the Book of Mormon before I go home! I'm in Alma 44 and I read everyday!! Super cool and the blessings that the prophet promised are real!!! Also we have been having contention between us and the branch president who doesn't even live in our area, and we had a meeting with him, and we are starting home teaching up, visiting teaching, piano lessons every week, Relief society activities once a week and youth activities which neither has happened in a LONG time. The attendance last sunday was 25. Yesterday was 49 with 7 investigators. We are really happy for the success that is happening right now and we hope that it continues!! Please pray for Bullet tree!!

Also a Chinese restaurant opens up tomorrow we think!!! Time to get big!! haha. But you all take care!!! AND ENJOY YOUR MOTHERS DAY!!!! Oh and Also I learned how to juggle 3 objects without dropping them.... I learned with oranges that people gave to us on our long walk to the next house. Miracles are still happening haha.

Dangriga (last area) pictures!

 

Knockerballs - This was super fun haha!

work of the Lord

HELLO!!! IT IS HOT HERE!!! I am dying!!! hahaha no not really but we are sweating off every single bag of water we drink! haha it is fun. We are working hard here, not too much success. It kind of stinks during the day because everybody tells us it is too hot to listen to us and we are always the only ones in the street... haha but it is okay.

THERE IS A NEW CHINA RESTAURANT THAT WILL OPEN RIGHT BY OUR HOUSE!!!! We are so excited!!! There are Chinese EVERYWHERE in Belize EXCEPT bullet tree. It is really cheap to buy but amazing yummy and filling food. There aren't really many restaurants here and they all sell the same 3 things. Tacos empanades and salbutes. Those are good, but we are excited for the Chinese restaurant haha.

Besides that nothing really much. Everybody is ALWAYS in the river swimming...it's crazy how full one river can get. I didn't even know that many people lived here, and just stand there... haha but it's okay we are in the work of the Lord. 

Soooo... my family surprised me... I got a 1 year old sister.... haha SURPRISE!!! that is crazy (it's a dog) but that is pretty exciting! I don't know how my brothers are doing all these things and getting mom's permission... haha they are smart. I think she is just busy with what date I am going to be home which I still don't know yet.

But anyways.... We are going to play soccer in knocker balls right now!! It should be fun if there are clouds!! haha Take care!! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS!

Well so this week was pretty normal as well haha. I guess things are just normal for me now, I don't remember what "Normal" is. But my companion and I are getting along great which really helps. But here in Bullet tree is super nice!

There is this gringo who lives here named Austin, and he is 24 and he married a girl here and now lives here so that is super confusing in church... haha but besides that... I am getting pretty good at soccer and super bad in Basketball. I am eating and loving all the rice and beans here! Wow! I can't believe I didn't like beans before the mission. Now I can't live without them #WordOfWisdomProbs

But anyways... it is hot!! I am turning RED! haha which is kind of cool, I can start my own race. Oh and I cut my comps hair... I think its in my genes from my mom because I did an alright job haha.

Just there are bees everywhere in our house!! My comp got stung yesterday haha while on the phone, I should feel bad for him but it was kind of funny haha. But anyways, TAKE CARE!!! KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS!!! Do the book of mormon challenge from the prophet :)

BE HAPPY! But not worldly happy...be happy by doing what's right and God will fill you with joy...

Hey I am here in Bullet tree!! I got changes I forgot if I wrote that! My companion is Elder Gaona from Mexico! He is amazing!! But literally we live in the middle of a Jungle away from EVERYTHING!!! There isn't even a place to cut hair here. Glad I halfway learned haha.

But things are going good. It is super peaceful where I am which gives me a ton of time to think which is good and bad sometimes haha with only 2 changes left. But I love it here and we are going to see miracles!

I am back to playing the little keyboard that no one can hear in Sacrament but it is amazing! Also if any of you need to go shopping, come to Belize. Wow it is amazing!

But anyways... things are great! I am way far away from the ocean, right by Guatemala right now so it is a lot different but really cool! I hope everything is going great!!

BE HAPPY!!! But not worldly happy... be happy by doing what's right and God will fill you with joy, the greatest joy we can experience as we do what's right.

 these shoes were expensive haha but I have basketball shoes!

Bullet Tree in Cayo

HEY!! This week was super normal just it is getting so hot! Wow. But things are going good. I have changes on Wednesday. I am going to Bullet tree in Cayo and I will be with Elder Gaona. It should be nice! I really don't like packing though haha but goodbye ocean. But time is flying by! It is sad and weird.

But I hope you all are doing well and remembering the conference!!! I hope everything is well!! Keep on doing what's right!! I will miss Garifuna food so if anyone can learn how, that would be super amazing! haha. But sorry I don't know what else to write!! If anyone has questions of suggestions I will add them next week haha. Take care!!

pick your favorite talk and do...

This week was great because of conference!!! Even though I was pretty dang sick for it. I got a blessing last night though and I feel better, but I felt awful. I managed through though and conference was so amazing!! I loved it!

IT IS GETTING HOT THOUGH!!! Holy cow the weather has changed so much this week! It is insane!! But things are doing good. The work is moving along slowly but surely.

It is hard knowing what to write anymore haha sorry...I really don't know what else to say. But..... ummmmm... the dogs that were always following us moved to the other elder's area :( That made me a little sad :(

But besides that...some Elders have been telling me I'm on the less than 100 day countdown...like what the world...but that is still a lot of time to work!! haha I am trying to work hard!!

But anyways, my invitation to you all is to pick your favorite talk and DO ALL THE INVITATIONS THAT THEY ASK US TO DO!!! You will find joy and be happy :)
