Yo soy el Hombre

Welcome back to yet another weekly email! This week was pretty mid. Got a lot of good things that happened last week that just fell apart completely. With that comes probably the toughest news ever . . . Do you remember the one guy that had a massive change and told us he

The Wizz Pig......

Happy Monday! This week has actually been so wild! I almost don't feel like writing about it, but I will. May not be in much detail but I will. Elder Giuffra and I keep seeing many mighty miracles and it is awesome! We had a friend completely stop doing the

Wubalubadubdub

Week of miracles baby! Starting of with my favorite: Remember one of the miracles from last week? Where we had the prompting to ask someone to be baptized? Well, he stopped responding to us for a hot minute so one day we just decided to go by and visit him.

I am an Angel!!

What's popping?! We had a really good week, full of blessings, miracles, and some pretty scary situations. We will go over the blessings, miracles, and all the good things. Might touch briefly on the scary/sad. Let's start our journey on Monday night, shall we? Monday night Elder Giuffra and

New Mission President 😎 Who dis?!

As my title states, the Texas Austin Mission got a new Mission President. I, unfortunately, do not have a picture with them but enjoy the picture of me and my companion for now. President and Sister Carter, what a blessing it is to have them leading and guiding the missionaries

Dah Gum! What a wild and wacky week. . .

I think we should start with the most historic event that happened. The death (going home) of two of the best Elder's I have had the pleasure to know. Elder Jake Porter and Elder Ryan Johansen. First and foremost I just want to express my love and gratitude for these

Happy Birthday Sister Weller

I don't even know where to start on this one. We have been playing basketball all day and I am zoinked. Let's start off with Sister Weller's birthday. First and foremost, happy happy birthday Sister Weller. Elder Giuffra and I were able to go to her birthday dinner. Why? Good

Elder Giuffra's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELDER GIUFFRA!! Woohoo the big 20!! What a great week! Elder Giuffra and I went all out for his birthday! Monday we went to Panda Express. (Elder Giuffra's favorite place ever apparently) It was so fun. Just the two of us, getting some PE at 10:30 in

How is it already June?!

Why hello. We had another fantastic week. Just one great week after another. Some Random thoughts: We got a new car. We went from a Toyota Rav4 to a Chevy Equinox. Not sure if it is a downgrade or an upgrade yet, but it has been treating us well though.

Oh hey...

Um, yeah last week was something. We are just gonna skip over all that. Just know the car got a flat tire and I was stressed outta my mind. LETS GO! This week has been quite a good one. This past P-day after all the fun under the sun, we

Boot Update

Not much of an email today, due to some unforeseen adventures. Lots of pictures for you all though. My boots had to be ordered and should be here in two weeks. So I hope that by next P-day I will have them to show you. They will be used for

Transfers

Wow! What a wild and wacky week. Let's jump right into it! So last week we talked about the death of Sister Bair. May she rest in peace. To celebrate Elder Rice and Elder Tyler leaving to different areas and Sister Bair leaving to go home, we went to Greens.

🎶"You will remember when this is blown over"🎶

This weekly isn't going to be very detailed or super long. We are staying busy today! Gotta get me some boots (Watch out next week for the reveal) Elder Stevens' birthday was this week! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ALL OF US TO YOU WE WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY SO

UhumUHUhuhuMmmMMmuhUhUmMuhhhh

When we were about to start playing disc golf (we just had to wait for the sisters to arrive), a man started walking up to the group of Elders. He noticed our tags and hands us all these comic book things for a Baptist Church and tells us that we

The Triforce

I started the week out well by going to Texas Roadhouse with the district. We got so many rolls! Never had a shortage of rolls. I probably ate 5! If you think about it, that is a lot. That is a basket +1. And with a full meal afterward. . . I

We have a Choir

Let's just jump right into it. Pdays are the goofiest days. I am so glad that we have them but I feel like we never get anything done. We do get a LOT done, yet it doesn't really feel like it. We clean, write emails, call home, play games with

Rain, Rain, Go Away

As I stated in the title, we had rain, this week was back-to-back rainy days. I really enjoyed the rain though. I got to use my fresh raincoat, and it worked like a charm! Due to the rain, it would be kinda hard to talk to people at parks during

General Conference

What a great week! Let's start off with conference, shall we? I don't think I have ever paid more attention to General Conference than I have these past two days. I can promise you that if you go in with questions they will be answered. If you didn't get a

Bicycle Bicycle Bicycle

Starting off on Wednesday. This week has been really busy and this is gonna be a struggle from an email point of view. I think we just keep getting busier and busier. BUT it keeps getting better and better. The Busier we are is actually nice, it helps keep me

Meetings, Waco, Couches, Oh My

Monday: I love P day, it is so nice to get out and exercise, andtalk to my family. I didn't think we would be quite as busy as we were today. But that's what I get for thinking that! We did the usual P day activities such as: writing emails,

A Week of Blessings

Monday: WOOOOO P DAY!! YES SIR!! We love P day. Didn't have such an exciting time this week compared to last week, yet it was still pretty solid. We played chair ball at the church with the district, and oh boy, it was wild. Elder Rice played soccer so he

LaLaLaLa

So to help me be better at emailing . . . I will be typing out what happened each day the night of. That way I won't feel rushed on Monday, especially with how busy our Mondays get!! I don't know if I will like this style of email so let's test it

BUC-EE'S!!

This past week has been wild. The days just keep getting longer and longer!! We did two different service activities this week. One was at a Baptist Church and the other was at a storehouse. We handed out food at both to people when they would drive up. The Baptist

The Field is Ready to Harvest

ZooWeeMAMA!! What a wild time it has been here in the craziness of Texas. So much has already happened so let me get started right away. At the end of the day, last Tuesday, the MTC was blessed to have a devotional. It was a different experience than anything I've
