Well...I don't have too much time this week. Let's see how quickly i can get through this.
Down to business.
Our weeks are always a blur...hang on...
...
......
...Okay. I got it.
Monday we had dinner with the Moore's and it was super great. Their girls are the cutest...just so y'all know. Then we tracted their neighbors.
Tuesday we went to visit Sister Chapdelain and she cut our hair. I must announce that my hair is now all even and on the growing out stage!! YAY!! That afternoon we got a media referral and we went out to go and visit them. They weren't too interested (we'll try back) but their neighbor is!! She's 14 and we are super excited to be able to teach her. Dinner with the Jensen's is always looked forward to...They've become surrogate parents. We love them LOTS!!
Wednesday my planner and Preach My Gospel got destroyed by water. I'm keeping them though. They are just crinkly and...they have character! Haha. We had a lesson with Alma about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We were able to teach her more about repentance and it was great to see her come to understand the Gospel more! We did some service at freedom hill, had lunch, and went to Kruze Village. I love my elderly friends. That night we helped Sister Biggs out before mutual and helped clean the church with the youth. After we carved pumpkins and got to build better relationships with the youth. Brother Jensen ran and got us dinner. LOVE THEM! During correlation Elder Fa'a shared Alma 32:28 and made an acronym for "SEED": Swell, Enlarge, Enlighten, Delicious. It was pretty profound and VERY enlightening.
Cleaning out the seeds. My favorite. NOT!!
Thursday we went to the Corn Maize after a little planning. Sister Gouge invited us so that we could meet some of her friends. It was pretty fun :) After we went to play some games at Gazebo. They too funny. That night we had dinner with some YSA's who come to our branch. They are so sweet!! Anna and Desirey. They are cousins and they go to Blinn. After, we went to sports night but only us and Tanner Jarnagin showed up. The elders were detained for being good citizens as a witnesses to a car accident. SO we canceled it, Tanner left, and contacted people in the park inviting them to come the next week.
Completed the Corn Maze!!
Friday we had Zone meeting up in College Station. So we drove all the way up there and came back in time for service at New Beginnings. After that we went to help at the church for the Harvest festival. The Elders Judged the Chili and Sis Pugh and Sis Biggs judged the cornbread. I took pictures and looked cute. We came in early due to Halloween and did some planning and went to bed a little early.

For Halloween we traded name tags with the Elders!!
Saturday we did some contacting in the morning before Family History. That afternoon we did some contacting and then drove out to the Biggs for dinner. We needed to vacuum our car and the boy's fought over who got to vacuum it out. we split the car in half. I swear those boys might have a crush on my. I find it quite hilarious. When we got home we changed the clocks. I still hate daylight savings time changing stuff. Oh well!
Sunday we got to sleep in an extra hour. We had meetings and church and studies as usual. The Jensen's made us a to-go dinner. (Love them so much!!) We went to visit a few people and that was pretty much our day...I also learned that you are Saved to the extent that you want to be saved. AND I learned about how important it is to set goals.
Monday we went to Houston. We were able to learn from Elder Corbridge. He is amazing. We were able to sit by him at lunch and talk with him there. I got tried out for the Mission president's fireside and I will be singing in it on the 23rd!! So excited!! We got back to Brenham at around 6. We had dinner with the Jensen's again.
That's a rap.
Be blessed and bless others by sharing your testimony.
Much love,
--Sister Carling
MY QUILT!!! Imagine it with a star in the middle of the blue...and there you
have it!!
Half of the Houston mission. Can you find Sister Carling??
