Where is the time going? its insane!!!

This week went by SO fast! And this transfer too! i cant believe we only have 2 weeks left! I don't even know where time is going, its insane. Life is pretty good! All of our investigators are now baptized, so now we need to find more people to teach...which isn't a bad problem to have! We have a couple potentials that hopefully let us teach them! But we have been having so much fun...We are SO crazy..well, i am at least..haha i swear my zone thinks im psycho..they still talk to me so i guess were good lol. The other day we decided to go to Texas road house but they weren't open yet so we went to a Hawaiian bbq place...and i made Elder Lind take selfies.

     Wednesday we went to House of Refuge! i love that place, its so fun...and so random...they had us dig a hole.

     The other day for dinner we went to one of our wards party and it was SO FUN! the youth did lip sync battles. one group did the fresh prince and it was sooo funny! Also, on the tables they had big paper for the tablecloth and crayons, do i decided to teach sister marbery to have better handwriting... because her handwriting is pretty bad lol... Then out of no where Sister Lowder comes and sits by us... her husband is the 1st councilor in the mission presidency, and shes such a savage. shes my favorite human. She was trying to help sister marbery with her handwriting..it was SO funny...she would have sis marbery write something and she would look at it and be like OMGOSH you're such a spaz! i was crying it was so funny!

     This morning killed me. we woke up at 4:50 to go work out...we went to this members house in the elders area and he is a fire fighter and hes a boss machine. holy crap. our warm up was ridiculous. Then we went on a 2 mile run...i only did one... then 100 pull ups, 100 box jumps, 100 burpees, 100 pushups, 100 squats...i was crying...and people were puking. then like 10 min later we went to a kick boxing place called 9 rounds...i seriously dont know how im alive tbh. we were going to have a zone activity and have a Nerf war, but we weren't about that life...so next week haha!

you wanna know something super gross? I hit my hump day in 9 days. Half way done...WHAT??????

Easter Pageant and sick comp

okay guys. so this week was SO BORING. Sister Marbery has been sick all week so that was fun. So this whole week was Sister Marbery sleeping, me watching cheesy church videos, going to the Easter pageant 3 times aaaaand im pretty sure that's it.

     oh. my. gosh. We had the weirdest Easter dinner of my life. It was cool but like, so random, i don't even know. Okay so before dinner we texted the fam that was feeding us to see if we were still on, and they were like yah, but we are doing a passover, so be here by 5 but we wont eat tll like 30 to 40 min after...so we were like uhhh okay. We both had no idea what a passover dinner was. So we get there at 5...and didn't leave till 8:30. That was the longest dinner appointment I've ever had in my whole life. So we help get things ready, and there was this platter that had a bowl of horse radish, some parsley, some spinach, a meatless chicken bone, an egg, a bowl of salt water and a ground up mixture of apples nuts honey and cinnamon. I was seriously about to die..I was like what the heck fire are we about to eat for dinner???  Then we all sat down (theres like 10 of us at the table, kids from 17 to 4) and we each have a packet, and we started reciting things together.., Guys, i don't even know how to explain the passover, just look it up or something, but its what Jewish people do for Easter I think?? Then they had us do random thinks like dipping the basil in saltwater and eat it, and put horse radish on a cracker thing and eat it..haha when the passed the horse radish to me i got my spoon and got literally a microscopic scoop of it and put it on my cracker and they all just started laughing at me lol, i was NOT about to eat that nasty stuff!! We also had nice wine glasses and had sparkling grape juice stuff, and half way through the passover, the 6 year old kid sitting next to me bit his wine glass and it shattered all in his mouth and on his hand...we all just looked at him and he spit the glass out, asked for a paper towel to stop the blood, his dad said sure, and we carried on...it was the weirdest thing ever...no yelling, screaming, crying or anything. It was so confusing. 

     The Easter pageant was so good! We went 3 times lol! The first time we went, we went with the YSA in really good seats, the second time was horrible omgosh but we still got good seats...and the 3rd time was awesome! we went with a part member family and got REALLY good seats! there is a reserved section in the very middle and there were 6 seats left, and the people never came so we were like yo, can we get those seats, and they were like uhhh probs not, then we came back and they were still empty like 30 min later (you have to get there at like 6:30 to get seats even though it starts at 8) so we asked another guy and he was like, well how many investigators do yall have and we were like 1 and he was like, well there are like a billion other missionaries fighting for these...so we were like awhhh, so like 5 min we came back and we were like soooo, can we get these seats? and he was like...ughhh sure, you won. SO WE GOT THE SEATS! #persistence 
Have a great week!!

     so every Wednesday we go to house of refuge and they make the sisters paint white walls white...so i rebelled and told them i want to do something else, so they let us help the elders shovel things and i got to be the designated golf cart driver and the elders had to sit in the back of the trailer thing and i went full speed down a hill and almost killed them lol...then we raced the elders on the other golf cart and i almost smashed elder fryer....they still let me drive sooooo......😛

     Also Tammys baptism was Saturday! SHES SO CUTE! Shes 50...she looks so dang good for 50... But she just moved from Hawaii and her co workers found out so they wanted to surprise her with a lei and it was so cute! she was really excited!

     Today we went to a members house in one of the elders area and he had like random american ninja warrior stuff in his backyard and a street hockey court! and he had a sketchy zipline and im pretty sure i broke my ankle on it. lol

Jaya, the bird, and Michelle

OH MY GOSH YALL. okay so we live in this huge house alone...and it sketchy sometimes, and i always hear creepy things and Sister Marberry just thinks im crazy because she never hears anything...so last night we go home and the house was a crap hole so i was like okay lets clean this mess, so we turned some music on and stuff and we went upstairs to clean our room and i SWEAR i hear the doorbell and homegirl thought i was crazy, then i hear someone pounding on the door and im like duuuude someone is gonna kill us! and sister marberry didnt hear anything, so i was like shoot, maybe i am crazy. So like 20 min later i hear it again, and i seriously thought i was trippin...we did take melatonin so i thought thats why i was hearing things hahah. then we had district calls so elder Bassett called and we were just talking and we heard it again and sister Marberry and i just start screaming and elder Bassett was freaking out bc we were scaring him to death...so sister Marberry looks out the window and she said it looked like a girl, but we couldn't tell bc it was dark...so she opens the door...and it was JAYA!!!!! (Sister Farrer!!!) i literally almost started crying!! it was sooooo fun seeing her! we literally were just laughing the whole time and having throwbacks..it was so funny!

     okay so this week was super busy, we have had TONS of service projects and we had zone conference, and we got to go to the temple, we had a surprise birthday party for Sister Lowder (her husband is in the mission presidency), we had Michelle's baptism , and general conference!...and today is my 8 month birthday..so gross..im getting old.

     so for most of the things that happen like service projects or zone sports, literally the only people that show up is the zone leaders, our district leader and his comp, and us...so we have decided that us 6 are actually the real zone...we seriously see them like everyday, its ridiculous..but its awesome because we are getting zone joggers..just for the 6 of us because no one else in the zone appreciated my idea of zone joggers.

     i don't remember when it was...but we always pass this HUGE mansion and we have always wanted to see the inside, and last Sunday we found out it was a members and she told us to come over sometime, so i think it was actually the next day we went over there lol! so we get to the door and i almost start crying because its so beautiful..then sister Marberry knocked and all of a sudden a freaking bird darts out of one of the wreaths and almost nails me in the face!!! it was the scariest thing ever!!! anyways...she answers the door and i legit start crying and i was like omg please give us a tour! i swear it took a whole hour to give us a tour...and they had like 5 different secret rooms that lead to random places! i thought we were in Narnia! Then her husband got home right when we were looking at the garage and he rolls through in a freaking Tesla!!!! we were like holllllyyy crapppp, so then he gave us a ride and he told us it can go from 0 to 60 in like .2 seconds...so we went to a random empty road and showed us how fast it went...y'all seriously i swear we were in a spaceship..no joke it looked like a spaceship. hahaha he told us before we went super fast to lean our heads back so we don't get whiplash or something. but anyways, it was super dope, my life feels complete now.

     Michelle's baptism was awesome! it was super chill and shes SO CUTE! before her baptism she wanted to see us because she was freaking out. so we were talking and we found out that we are both OBSESSED with shoes and we made plans after the mission to go to Vegas and go shoe shopping haha! it was great and she felt much better haha!
