Into The Wataz.

Oh my goodness, what a crazy and awesome week this has been. Let me just start with the Glascos.  On Thursday, we had the Baptimsal interviews with the boys, it went really well!  Friday, we had the dad’s interview, but there was something that he needed to clear up with President Hugues. We were going to come back that evening because that’s when President was available. Long story short, after some ward members pulling us into their drama, lots of phone calls made to refer it to the Bishop, we show up at the Glasco’s house and THE DAD ISN’T THERE. THE BAPTISM IS IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. AND OUR PRESIDENT IS ALREADY ON THE ZOOM. He just took off lol. So we drive about a half hour out of our area to the other ward’s Bishop’s house where the YM are having a campout. (the Glasco’s oldest boy was there and the drama was basically about all of that lol) We run about a quarter mile to the dad’s tent, and the interview was held there. It took an hour, which left Sister Ras and I witho...

Oh my goodness, what a week. I have never been so tired, so excited, and so ready for a 5 day nap in my life. But it’s all worth it because THE GLASCOS ARE GETTING BAPTIZED THIS WEEK!!! Highlights: ☆Said bye to Sister Lee… But hello to Sister Rasmussen! I’m so excited for what this transfer will bring us! Everyone says we look like sisters so that's cool. ☆2nd night of the transfer, we had a thunderstorm warning- no big deal. In a span of 15 minutes it turned into a tornado watch, then a tornado warning, by then it was too late to go into our weather contact, so we ended up going to the Hermanas apt and had a night full of Uno, learning spanish slang, and freaking out because we couldn’t go to bed until everyone in our zone was safe (since we are the stls, we report to President) and no surprise the Zone Leaders fell asleep so we didn’t go to bed until 1:30… ☆made a new friend named Amya! She is so cute and told us that she wants to learn more about God. Please pray for her!! ☆had ...

Oh my goodness what a good week to be alive. God is so good, I love my companion, and my mission President is the funniest guy ever. I can't complain. Highlights: ☆Sister Lee and I installed blinds all by ourselves!! We are so proud of us ☆we went to Freddy's to do facebook and a worker came and gave us free fries!!  ☆BROTHER HAWKLEY CONVERTED CHUCK!!! Brother Hawkley is a funny single Airforce dude, 27 years old, and introduces his family of three as, "me, myself, and I." He's a "threat to society" since he graduated from BYU with absolutely no prospects. (All of that was his own words straight from the pulpit) Chuck is an old man who is just too funny. Your average baptist old man. But Brother Hawkley and him talked the entire lesson, (I spoke 7 words) and he invited him to be baptized. WE COULDN'T EVEN GET THE MAN TO CHURCH!! LOW AND BEHOLD CHUCK WAS AT CHURCH THE NEXT DAY. ☆The Marshallese Elders came over to bless our apartment since some creepy...

What on EARTH was this week? Hope it was calm for everyone outside of the state of Oklahoma because this week was insane.  Highlights: ☆a man spoke to me in tongues, I low key thought it was just my ears being dumb like usual so I stupidly asked him to repeat himself lol. Only in the Bible Belt… ☆Played in the rain during our dinner break, we were out and about and it started POURING BUCKETS!! We got to the church and we were already soaked so we just decided to live laugh love… Until I realized I was wearing white pants… ☆Made Sister Lee pull over for .2 seconds because I found a mulberry tree! I found one with Hermana Matthews a while back on our exchange, but I couldn’t find it again. Sister Lee does not like Mullberries. I think they’re the bestest.  ☆Had interviews with President Hugues/ Roleplays with the APs, I also talked to the President's wife and 14 year old daughter about how she would be friends with my sisters because she has lots of Nikes. ☆I was just minding my...
