Howdy is a good word to use as I am feeling more of a Texan now. A member here has given me a few belt buckles and wants to take me shopping to go get a real Texan belt for it. Who would've thought! We had so much rain here! Wednesday rained so hard! The apartment complex flooded really bad, not up to our apartment though. We were lucky. Elder Riches and I couldn't go anywhere because of the weather, so we decided to have fun! We changed clothes and went out in the pouring rain. We ran around, jumped in puddles, and went swinging on the swing set. Talk about good stress reliever.
Carlos is doing good. We have him on date for the 15th, but he hasn't been coming to church because things have come up. Pray that he will be able to and that he can be baptized. He's so close!
From Baytown the temple is about an hour and a half, on the other side of Houston. It is outside of our mission so we are lucky we can go. We missed our session though when we went so we had to wait. Whoops
Conference was great! It's different though, watching it here at a chapel and not in our home eating some puppy chow. I miss our traditions like the egg mcmuffins! I enjoyed all of the talks, they were really good. Elder Holland always gives good ones! I really liked Choi's was that his name? I busted out laughing when he said to look up, open our mouths, and drink it. I don't know why but it was real funny to me and my companion.
Last couple of weeks none of my siblings have emailed me. That's a shame isn't it!
Elder Riches and I had a lot of really cool adventures this week. We were able to go all the way down to tri city beach because we had extra miles at the end of the month. It was cool, had a cool view. That's where we took all the panoramas. Way out we could see big ol cargo ships moving around. Tuesday we went out biking and came across a forest trail. It was really cool and who knew Texas was so green? I never would have guessed Houston was a tropical climate. It's nuts!
With Easter coming up, have y'all seen the Prince of Peace initiative? That will be really cool, similar to light the world. The videos are really good. Jesus Christ really is our Savior and Redeemer.
Have a good week y'all. Love you!
