This week was crazy!!
Monday: That night we started exchanges with the Stephenville sisters. I went to Stephenville with Sister Adkison and Fowers. We had a dinner, except the family only spoke Spanish so Sister Fowers had to translate for me the entire time we were there. On the way to the dinner, Fowers got us all hyped about the Mexican food we were about to eat and it ended up being wings! They were SO SPICY! No joke I thought I was going to cry because I was in so much pain! But I finished them! So be proud!
Tuesday: Stephenville really is the boonies! That morning we got to go work on this old ladies goat farm! It was so much fun and I just love goats! We then had District Council and my mission President actually came, so that was fun! During DC we did a wall sit while reading the whole book of Omni(its one chapter), but it hurt SO BAD! After DC we traded back from exchanges! That night we started another exchange with the MSTLs (Mission Sister Training Leaders) and I was with Sister Stowers in Colleyville!
Wedneday: Sister Stowers and I woke up at 5:30 in the morning to go play pickle ball! For those of you who know me, I'm not a morning person lol, but I did it! Anyways, we went and played, and it was actually fun. Plus, we got to do a really fun trail run! We then had a lesson with their friend, Jermaine, and that guy is so cool! So, that was exciting! We also had a study session that night with some of their YSA members! It was an overall party! I was just laughing all day! I think maybe because I was soo tired from going on 2 exchanges in a row right after P-day lol!
Thursday: This was actually the scariest day of my whole mission. No joke. We started the day off with volunteering, We had just gotten home when we got a call from the ZLs. They told us that the Stephenville sisters had been in a car accident and Sister Fowers was in the hospital. That's all they told us. I literally was shaking and could barley move, but we ran to the car because they told us we needed to go pick up her companions. The drive to Stephenville is like a hour and it literally felt like an eternity. We finally got there and we just sat with her comps. Sister Fowers was released from the hospital. She is okay, but has a pretty bad concussion! So, that was scary! There were definitely miracles, because there were so many things that could've gone way worse! They went to the MSTL’s to stay for a few days. Also, it was my brother Bryan's birthday, so shoutout to him.
Friday: It was a pretty chill day! We mainly just did finding all day! One thing that did happen.... my brother Bryan got engaged to Jordyn Fail. She's super cute and I'm really happy for them. So, that's super exciting!! I'm sad to miss the wedding though!
Saturday: We had a good day! We had lots of study sessions and a good Zone Leader Conference (ZLC) meeting at Braum’s after. It took Elder Veater and I like a hour to convince Elder Spencer to have it at Braum’s! We won!! That night the Stephenville sisters came and stayed the night so we could take them back to their apartment Sunday morning.
Sunday: Sunday morning we took the Stephenville Sisters home, and then we had church! It was testimony meeting and everyone was bearing testimony of the Atonement! It was so good! That night we had dinner with the Stake President and his family, and we were just laughing the whole time!
Spiritual thought: this week I was constantly thinking about the Atonement! I got asked to speak in church next Sunday on a talk called "The Healing Power of Jesus Christ" By Cristina B. Franco. It's so so good, and I encourage you all to read it!

Remember that Jesus Christ loves you no matter who you are! If there’s one thing my mission has taught me so far, it’s that the Atonement of Jesus Christ IS the answer to everything!
Have the best week!
Love Y'all
