Homecoming in Hereford, TX: Exchange of the MUMS


HOLA TODO!!!!!

  Wow this week was so fun! I am so so so exhausted though. It was homecoming week here for the high school, and they are not lying when they say "Everything is bigger in Texas". Ok so there is the weirdest tradition here, and i seriously cannot get over it. So in Texas people wear these flowers with a ton of ribbons and beads and bells on their shirts like ALL day on homecoming game day. The boy makes one (or buys one if he's smart) and gives it to the girl, and then the girl makes him one that he wears around his arm. IT IS BIZARRE. haha so friday night we walked around the football stadium for "proselyting moments" lol, and EVERYONE and their DOG were wearing these "mums". Like 5 year olds, teenagers, parents, grandparents, everyone!!! And so that morning the ladies at the Senior Center made us mums to wear hahahha so of course, we wore them! But yea, there are some strange traditions here. If you want more of a visual just look up "Texas tradition exchange of the mums"

  We also celebrated my 20th birthday this past week, and it was a fiesta!!!!! Seriously so fun. We ate lots of ice cream and cake and it was a great way to start our 6 months to sexy!!! So yea, sister linford is the bomb. It was also her year mark that day so we celebrated extra hard haha. 

  But mission life is good. Hereford is like basically underwater, we've had horrible flooding here like the past week, so we have our rain boots out! We're always soaked in mud at the end of the day, but hopefully it will dry up soon????

  Ok well that's all for this week, sorry I am so boring! We are working with some investigators to get a baptism coming up, so stay tuned. LOVE YALL!

con mucho amor,
Hermana Neilson
