If you give a kid a cookie, he'll want to give you a hug

 

Hellooo! 

We went to church this week and I got to meet some of the amazing members of our branch! And to make it even better, I was called on the spot to bear my testimony :) The highlight was probably when we saw our 5 year old friend named Dominic. We stopped by earlier in the week to drop off some cookies and when he saw who we were he ran and hugged us. He did the same thing on Sunday and even though it's definitely not allowed it made my entire day.  

One day we were walking around town trying to find a place to get dinner and after about 30 minutes we finally decided on Chipotle. On our way over there, a restaurant security guy called out to us. We started talking and he's a member in the stake south of us and said that he recognized us from far away, not just because of our tags, but because of our spirit. He has 10 kids and loves the gospel and the missionaries. Lorenzo is the coolest! 

Now for our guy, Remy! He randomly texted us asking about church so we looked in our records to see who he was. We found out that he had been taught for about 2 years but was stopped being taught multiple times because he wasn't interested. We were able to set up a lesson with him and he is such a cool guy and is SO ready now. 

Lastly, we watched a devotional by Pres and Sis Godoy and they mentioned the exact same thought that I had about 3 months ago while reading the scriptures. In Helaman 7, Nephi is a missionary but the people are casting him out, rejecting him, and are super wicked. He is depressed, discouraged and says he wished he could've preached in the days of his father when the people were more accepting and loving. However, he concludes with saying that "these are my days" and continues to endure through the difficult task given to him. This made me think of the pandemic and all the whys. Why now? Why not 10 years later? Why not 10 years earlier? Why did it even have to happen? The fact is that we don't know the whys but we can readjust our focus and trust in a God that DOES know all the whys. The second we accept that "these are our days" we can get to work and trust that we are exactly where we need to be, doing exactly what we need to be doing even if it is different than what we expected, and that's the tea sis. 

 

Love y'all!

 Caught my first crab! 

This is where we come to sit and talk about life.

Louie, my king and my everything. Sometimes we run by his house 

and he always comes out to greet us it's so cute.

The home boy Lorenzo!! He gave us 1/2 off our meal at some fancy place on the water 💯🙏

We drove 7 mph over the limit (thank you tiwi❤) to make it in time for the sunset.

If you know me you know I LOVE a good sunset.
