Holla from Houston!: THE BERG #21

OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope yall are just feeling the joy because today is a happy day!! and man almighty can i tell yall about this week???? TWAS A BLAST AND A HALF!!!!

first ill tell yall about THE EVENT....here's the story

so there is an apartment complex that we work a ton in called victoria gardens....and one day the manager walked up to the other sisters in the ward and goes "so there are some residents here that are upset that you havent been by to start teaching them, so can yall put on en event so everyone gets a chance?" HAHA YES!!!!! so we planned it all out--got the ward on board--and then the rain came down and the floods came up :( the event got canceled and we were SUPER bummed because we had told EVERYONE about it! im talking knocking EVERY DOOR of the complex and handing out flyers to each person...getting food and music and pamphlets and BOMs etc.......so we prayed and fasted and HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES HIS CHILDREN so after much debate....the event was UNcanceled and although the skies remained a bleak gray...we shed some LIGHT on victoria gardens!!! we set up a courtyard with various booths with members to explain different aspects of the church...then some hotdogs and chips etc and then sister lenhart, elder monteirth, and myself seranaded everyone with both guitar and vocal chords...and then two other sisters "preached" in both english and spanish, and then we had a recent convert from that complex bear his testimony and THEN we had the bishop and the branch president each introduce themselves and invite everyone to church and we wrapped it all up with mormon messages and a prayer!!! IT WAS A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we found sooooo many prepared souls!! IT WAS THE HAPPIEST OF EVENTS!!!!!!!

also happy day...ESMERALDA GOT DUNKED!!!! she is AMAZING!!! she came an hour early to her baptism--just in case--and asked if she could share her testimony as part of the program...she is a little actress so you best believe it was a testimony of champions! filled with emotion and dramatic hand gestures etc. bless her heart ;)

we also had the privilege of doing two awesome service projects! 1. restoring a prairie at a state park...found out they are the most endangered ecosystem!! 2. picking up trash for missouri city!! GET OUT AND SERVE YALL!! ITS THE BOMB!!

the church is true yall--promise!! and if you dont know...ASK!!

have a blessed week
