Well first off in case anyone is wondering. Yes I am crying because I miss the fair. No I’m not trunky or homesick. Just fair sick.
Buttt like I said I am so happy! The Spanish is coming slowly and one thing I’ve found about learning a language is you have to treat it like a relationship. You can spend as much time trying to figure it out as you want but if you dont learn how to love it, YOURE NOT GONNA BE SMART OR HAPPY.
This next transfer I will be getting a new companion but I dont know anything about her yet so I’ll keep you updated, all I know is her name is Hermana Wall:)
This week Fredy set a new baptismal date!!!! (Also before anyone asks…yes he is still in love with me) hes gonna be baptized on the 31 of August and I’m so excited for him!!
Nothing super crazy happened this week but I’ll include a super embarrassing funny story just because I love you all.
Last transfer me and Hna Sears decided to knock on this random door and a man answered. We started talking to him and when we asked him if there was a time we could come visit him he said this wasn’t his house but that they were cooking and asked us to come eat. Me being a polite young lady said “oh no thank you were so full!”
They both looked at me like I was nuts and hna Sears started to giggle a little. After we left, I found out that the nice man had not in fact invited us to eat, but that he had explained earlier that this wasn’t his house, it was his sister in laws’ and he was visiting because she had a heart condition šŸ™‚šŸ‘šŸ˜‚
I can tell you that my Spanish is not great…. but it has improved hahaha!
This week we had dinner with our bishop and we were talking about how important it is to see the bigger picture. That if we could see 15 years from now how the little things affect us we would do everything in our power to follow the guide lines of our leaders. One thing he said that I liked was “sometimes we have members that are active in the church and inactive in the gospel” .
GUYS. BE. ACTIVE. IN. THE. GOSPEL.!!!
anyway, love you all, and be safe!!
Love Ryenne

Small town girl. Lover of stories. Believer in God, family, America, and in finding beauty in both the past and the here and now. I grew up alongside my five siblings as our parents dreamed and worked and picked themselves up time and again while creating their small business . Interestingly, I married my high school sweetheart, who now co-owns his own small family business with his brother- the same business that he grew up in, working alongside his dad. We have five kids of our own (who are pretty cool, if I must say so myself), and both understand the grit and determination it takes to build our own dreams. I feel honored to share our story here and join my parents and brothers in their desire to create a welcoming, positive spot ā€“ where we can share stories and resources for those wanting to make memories with the people they love the most.
