From Mexican ghetto/South of downtown Houston to....the country!


Hi friends and fam! 

I am now serving in Orange County, TX and Vinton, LOUISIANA! Super country. And my new comp is Sister Bryn Larsen. She is from Provo and studying nursing at BYU. President is now putting STLs together - so we are both STLs! Its def been an adjustment because we are both used to being with young missionaries, but it is great! So much fun. It was funny at the transfer meeting we were already sitting next to each other bc we are friends and Pres called us together and we just screamed. So funny. 

Anyways - we are whitewashing the area. Been an adventure. We are going around and meeting members. Last night met a woman who has squirrels as pets? Apparently that is like a country thing? I thought everyone out here just ate them..guess not.

The ward is great! So many wonderful families and a solid bishop. This place is diff than Broadway zone in every aspect. There is work to do here! Our area is HUGE. Bit overwhelming. 

I love you all! Go to the beach for me! And enjoy going outside without getting attacked by bugs or humidity:) okay, thanks!

Love yoU!
Sister Walton
