Week 98: God Has A Plan for Me

 Hey yall!

Another week in Round Rock! And it was a good one. Heres the recap on all the events that went downnnnn:

Wednesday we had interviews with President. We had a really good discussion, focused a lot around how I'm feeling and how the state of the mission is right now. President is someone I love and admire so much. I think often that if it weren't for the Corona virus I never would have gotten to meet and learn from him. While sometimes I feel like the pandemic uprooted my mission, I can't help but remember all of the incredible people I never wouldve had the opportunity to meet had I stayed in Mexico. God really does have a plan for me!

Wednesday night we also had one of the most entertaining visits of my mission when we went over to teach the Andinos. Like always, they are practically impossible to keep still longer than a few minutes, however this week they were especially rowdy. This week's visit included: (1) Eliana dumping fish sticks all over the floor, which soon got ran over by Kenneths rolly chair (2) Eliana attempting to splatter mini tomatoes over our prestine white shirts (3) Iker getting mad at Kenneth and bringing out a belt to hit him with. And so much more craziness. However we did get kenneths attention long enough to teach him about repentence which actually ended up being a good lesson. It's amazing to see how quickly children grasp onto the principles of the gospel.

Thursday we got to attend a culdesac BBQ with the Davises! It was a great opportunity to get to know people in the area. We got to talk a lot with one of her neighbors named Shannon, who's from the Netherlands. She's been having some questions about the Holy Ghost so it was great to get to know her.

Saturday I had exchanges with Elder Rowell! I got to go to Stony Point Ward and see Elder Rowell be the leader of the area. It was great to see him go to work, he's young in the mission but has no fear of anything or anyone. We helped a couple cut out an agave bush and they were very appreciative. The husband invited us to do some fishing and barbecuing with him, and said he wanted to get to know more about who we are and what we do. We've got high hopes for them.

Overall those were some of the many great experiences! Love and miss you all!
