I am just so-so happy and grateful for the exciting news! I'm finally an "Aunt" and I've been waiting a long time for this!! Little Jaxon is adorable. He just wins my heart! So glad to have a new addition in the family. As much as I wish I was there to hold little Jaxon, I am so grateful to be here on a mission. I love the experiences I'm having. (The good and hard times). But sooner than later I'll be there to hold him in my arms, which is really bittersweet right now.

Texas thunderstorms come so fast. One second its nice and dry, the next minute it's a down pour of rain. We have gotten caught in it a few times, but its fine--we just go out with a smile! This week we have had the opportunity to be involved with a lot of service--especially a lot of yard work! I was fortunate enough to bring back my lawn mowing skills from high school days and mowed 2 different yards. I loved it!!!! And the mosquitoes did too. Fresh sweaty blood to suck! BLEH! One day, we went with a sister in our ward to takes care of the Victoria Gardens. It is an educational garden place that is so-so beautiful. Not long after we showed up in the gardens a storm rolled in and we were surrounded by lightening and thunder. It was quite exciting. We took shelter in a tin shed and couldn't really get to the car for about an hour. It was so loud we couldn't hear each other because the rain was hitting the shed so hard. So we decided to play "Book of Mormon" charades. hahahaha It was great! Sister Fisi'inaua and I jumped up to act stuff out and finally Sister Davis joined in. This sweet little 60 year old woman was havin a ball with us. It was a pretty entertaining experience. (Great FHE idea)!!

The 4th of July was great! We went to the church in the morning because they were having a bike parade for the primary children. You better believe we took our bikes and decorated them and joined the fun.

Overall it's been a good week and a great transfer. I love this area--"Victoria" and my companion is awesome! I really enjoy serving with Sister Fisi'inaua. Saturday was a baptism at our church. Some of the elders have been working with a sweet older Hispanic gentleman. He was so happy and excited. Oh man this baptism was Great! One I'll never forget! We have a lot of great investigators we are working with. They seem super solid as well. We're learning a lot and just trying to assist the Lord in His work here in Victoria.
