Buenos Días!
I am now serving in the Dallas 1st and 9th Bilingual Wards! I have 2
companions, Hermana Cloward y Hermana Stripling! They are the best and
they are helping me learn some Spanish because most of our lessons are
with Spanish speakers. I am loving this new area and the people in it.
It's very diverse in economics and culture.

Like on Wednesday we visited an English speaking less active member and her place, and I mean this in the nicest way possible needed about 50 gallons of
Frebreze sprayed on everything including the lady. About half way
through the lesson I caught Hermana Cloward staring at my chair and
yes there were bugs on it but I noticed that the moment I sat on it(
no big deal to me I'm so used to bugs at this point of my mission) then
it clicked in my head that maybe these weren't normal bugs, so I
wrapped up the lesson we said a prayer and we left as soon as we could.
As we hurried out Hermana Cloward said that she thought that those
bugs looked a lot like bed bugs.....so we quickly brushed our clothes
like mad men and in doing so my companions found 2 bugs on me!
Aaaaahhhh so we then having no other choice decided to drive back to
our apartment, shower, and wash our clothes, so we hopped into the
car. I FOUND 2 MORE BUGS ON ME IN MY SKIRT. Long story short we took
all precautions to make sure the clothes we wore were taken off
immediate when we got in our apartment (for me even before I got into
the apartment with decency) and we all showered and got ready for our
next appointment. So far we haven't seen any bed bugs so that's a good
sign. *sigh of relief*
Then yesterday we ate with a very well off (wealth) family and they
told us of how they and a few of the families in the Ward chipped in
on a private jet to go to the Nebraska vs. BYU game on Saturday -_-
they said the jet they used had belonged to some Saudi Arabian prince
so the bathroom had gold lining on everything......but luckily the
members were quite humble about it. They also remarked about how the
winning catch was thrown by a player that returned home from his
mission just 3 months previous. They showed a lot of joy and pride in
the example of this great player and even showed us the interview with
him the following day. The player showed absolute love for his mission
and was a perfect example of an R.M. It made me overjoyed to see this
returned missionary show that enthusiasm and gratitude for his mission
for everyone to see :)
Hopefully I can show that love for my mission that I have even after
its done. For me I know the missionary work will ever stop pressing
forward. I'm so grateful I get to keep serving my fellow man and know
that I can keep progressing as a member of God's church with or without
the name tag. I love being here in Texas and I love getting to help
others come closer to Christ.
¡Nos Vemos!
Love, Hermana Baker
Here are some of the potential bed bugs I found crawling on me......ehhhw
