THE BERG

hey ya'll! how's it going? 

not gonna lie saying goodbye to H1 was probably the hardest thing ive ever done....but they made sure to help me go out with a BANG!!!!! i got my face smashed BIG TIME!!! and then it turned into a full-fledged frosting fight!!!! i love those people. h1 has robbed my heart and will have it FOREVER! 

so tranfers.........

ROSENBERG ENGLISH SPEAKING. what the plot twist?!?!?!?! apparently they arent sending the mission enough english speaking sisters...so i guess i speak that language to...so here i am in rosenberg!! the area is HUGE and super diverse!! we live in like a complexy area..like mostly apartment complexes....but we teach in houses, mansions, AND we cover like 9 or so city/towns.....WHAT?!?! we drove on like dirt roads to get to my first dinner appointment with COWS AND STUFF!!!!! i feel like im finally getting a taste of T E X A S ya feel? like people really do wear cowboy hats and boots and really do say "im fixin to go down the corner store.." and stuff like that...WHERE AM I?! but i honestly love it. there is a TON of work to do and its just me and my comp in a ward the size of AFRICA...LETS GOOOOO! speaking of my comp...her name is sister schumacher (shoe-mocker) and she is from Scappoose, Oregon!! most diverse companionship!! neither of us are from Utah!! #westcoastbestcoast she is HILARIOUS and i love her already! she is very patient with my awkward transitioning from english to spanish....like prayers that go like "and please bless that their searts will be hoftened...." shoot. i got this. english is my first language, right? PRAYERS ARE MORE THAN WELCOMED! 

im coming up to a blank because i feel like there is sooo much new i dont know what to fill yall in on!! ill answer moms questions...

WHAT is your new address?

1134 radio lane #216

I'm dying with anticipation wondering about where you are serving now?!!(City, suburbs, country, coast?) What's it like? well...we are a little bit of everything! other than coast...city/suburbs/country/trailer parks/ranches/etc

 do you like your new comp, ward, district, etc..?? love my comp, ward is HUGE but i like everyone ive met so far...and i will meet my district tomorrow!! 

 Do you live in an apartment building?

 Just with your companion? yes and yes but the hermanas live in the same complex! we never see them at the complex..but we see them at the church sometimes!

 Do you ride a bike or drive a car?! we have a car...but im about to turn this place into more of a biking area....i dont know how to do missionary work in a car!! but i mean we will have to roadtrip the halfhour to some of our villages and hick-vills and then bike around!! 

 anyway...i think thats all i got for this week!! change is good! hard...but good!

have the best week yall!

saddest thing is getting super close with this guy (jose acosta) right before i leave!!! had always said hi and what not but never really got to know him until the day before i left :( he is the man!

not goodbyes...just see yall laters!!

wilson was a CHAMP and gave us both blessings of comfort before the big transfer!!

saying bye to my baby was probably the hardest...

and this is sister montalvo...basically she is the BEST!!! 

ps- i still get to take an hour to study spanish everyday so that is supperrr happy!!

TRANSFERED

FORGOT THE 10 MONTHER! 

my time in the BEST AREA EVER comes to a close...got the call this morning and im getting transfered! definitely mixed feelings about it! because these passed 10 months in Houston 1 have been UNREAL!! almost TOO good! and that's why i have to leave i think...loving it all a little too much ;) havent really said goodbyes yet..but i have a horrible feeling that it's going to be pretty rough :/ these guys are F A M I L Y!!! and ive been through so much with them...but how about it's just a "see ya later" yeah? sounds good to me!! and i have to admit that i am excited to see what else is out there!! i mean where am i going?!?!?! i kinda have a feeling im going to get sent far from here...but who knows! ill let yall know next week!! 

my last week here was nuts!! service everyday again....but we are making progress getting rid of all the stuff at "C's"<3 i really love this lady. no joke. and she is like a famous geologist or something too..what?

the most exciting things that happened at service were that we found three dead/molding/squished rats...and that a mover guy named Ted made THE BEST BARBECUE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE for us for lunch one day!!!!! LITERALLY THE MEAT MELTED IN YOUR MOUTH. SOOOO GOOOD!!!! ill be honest i felt a little bad the boys, dad, and clarkus werent there to enjoy it with me...because yall wouldve cried. promise. 

also...update on Alvaro!! we thought FOR SURE he would be baptized this weekend so we did everything we possibly could in order for it to happen...including having him come to the church to get the baptismal interview on thursday night....the interview lasted almost 2 hours and he technically passed with flying colors but told us he just didnt feel ready! so we continued to teach him and pump him up with super spiritual lessons and stuff....but he didnt show up to church on sunday and therefore was not baptized...BUT he came to a devotional that we had last night and guys...it was PERFECT!!! one speaker literally answered EVERY doubt Alvaro had and just hit home BIG TIME!!! i have no doubt he will be baptized this weekend (and ill get to come back for it hehe!!) and even though im sure it will happen...yalls prayers would be more than appreciated!! because even though we have the faith and do everything we can people have this thing called agency...so like...you never know haha

but anyway...i love yall big time!! this work is THE BEST!! yall should give it a try ;)

have the BEST WEEK!
