Hey Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week. 

This week we are really busy with service projects and lessons and visits with members; it was fantastic!

On Tuesday we went to Emerald Oaks to help clean up an event that was challenging there. It was really fun and later that night we had a lesson with Erica. She is really great! We are helping learn more about the Bible and the church because she hasn’t really ever learned about it all before. Just when she was really little. 

On Wednesday we went to our new friend Vicki's house. We helped her rake up leaves and clean up her back yard a little. It was definitely a lot of work haha. We put leaves into like 13 different bags. After, me and Elder Sherman had a small lesson with her. She is super amazing! She is pretty interested in the church and wants to learn more about it. We gave her a Book of Mormon and we came back on Sunday and read some of it with her. She loves it and has lots of questions. We hope that she will come to church next week. We have another lesson with her this Wednesday. 

Another person we’re teaching is Margaret. She is awesome and is reading the Book of Mormon. We will have another visit this week with her. 

We did some other service helping clean another person's yard with the other missionaries and that was really fun. We also did some service at a food bank this week as well.

On Wednesday night we had our ward’s mutual youth activities. It was really fun and after we got to teach English class. So I got to practice some Spanish that night which was awesome. 

We are also helping a few different families in the ward. Some of their kids turned 9 and need the missionaries to teach them before they get baptized and so we have been meeting with them this week and that has been so much fun. 

Another weird thing that is happening in Texas right now is that there are a ton of Caterpillars. They are everywhere! If you aren't watching out they will fall on top of you because many of them are hanging from trees on little web things and will fall on you haha. The other missionaries don’t like them a ton because they get up to go run sometimes and come home with them all over them haha. 

We also got transfer news this week and me and Elder Sherman are staying the same so not much change haha. 

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
