This week has had the most miracle filled stress filled week eva! But it's okay to have hard times cause we grow from it! But I love hearing from everyone and I'm grateful for everyone here and everyone back home! 💛
September 24th: Today we had ups and downs. We took a bizzilion hours of planning to plan out our week and me and Sister Nelson are staying in Rome! We found this guy named Trevor and then got kicked out of this apartment complex place cause this old lady I talked to tattled on us...so that was kinda funny. Then we had YW that night and we had a blast ding dong ditching cookies for members in the ward!
September 25th: Today Sister Nelson has been a missionary for a year sooo we celebrated with Sushi for lunch! And now I have to drive cause Sister Nelson got a yellow transfer which means she got too many check your speeds so yeah.. I'm kinda scared to drive but hopefully it'll make me a better driver. We had a long lesson with Tracie and when I say long I mean like almost 2 hours!! Cause she loves talk! Then we met Florance! She is a sweet Jehovahs Witness lady and she was curious to learn more about our church!
September 26th- So driving was just really stressful today and I was stressed teaching Connor everything soooo it was kinda a tough day but it was my Dad's birthday so I got to say happy birthday!!
September 27th- Today was one of the best days on the mission! I'm not even joking! Okay so this morning was tough because I was just nit feeling it but it got better when we started doing service at the rescuce center...well sorta we had to clean the basement and the stuff there has been sitting there for over 30 years so it was dduuusstttaaayy. And then we saw a brown recluse spider ( idk if that's how you spell it but it's a very dangerous spider) this lady that works at the resuce center came over and killed it though so that was good. Then we go finding and find Pami and Emily and they are really sweet people we are excited to teach! But best of all we had a lesson with Andy and Gail!! And then we got Andy on date for Baptism! The lesson was so spiritual about baptism and the Holy Ghost! Andy has been meeting with missionaries for months so we are really excited he has made the decision to get baptized:)
September 28th- Holy Cow today's been cracra! We had a lesson w/ Connor this morning about the Word of Wisdom and he straight up was like "I'm never gonna have caffeine again!!" Then we had to remind him that it's okay to have soda still haha! But he's a stud! Then we cooked for Barb Libby cause she always cooks for us so we thought it was about time to return the favor. And her back has been killing her so pls pray for Barb Libby! Then we went on exchanges and made some more friends and met some awesome people!
September 29th- okay I'm not lieing today has been the most spiritual day on the mission so far! So this day might take up like a lotta room cause a lot happened! And cause Sundays are seriously the best! So we go to church and there are 70 people there! Everyone wanted to come to church including some people Sister Nelson and Sister Folwer met YESTERDAY!! That might not sound that exciting to some of yall but it's a big deal for missionaries! And also are church usually only has 35 people max sooo to have 70 was kinda bonkers. And a cute old lady named Maureen bore her testimony about how she was grateful for her cats! But it doesn't stop there! After church we made a baptism calender with Connor!! Yay!! After church we helped a random lady we called on the phone the day before! We helped her move her stuff from her old house to her new house! So we drove the stuff to there new house and they walked 40 minutes to there new house cause they didn't have a car. After helping g her we had a really spiritual decision and pit her on date for baptism! Then we had dinner with the Hams and it was delicious! We had another lesson with Connor outside on his porch and some friendly misquotes bit me a couple times but it was so worth it cause the lesson was really good. Then after Connor we met Karrie! Karrie needs the gospel in her life so bad! Pls pray for Karrie Tucker!! She talked to us about baptism and she wanted to get baptized so we also put her on date for baptism! So that's not normal! So it was a spiritual miracle filled day!!
Today:) okay so now it's p day and we've just been chillen, we went shopping said good bye to the AP sisters and then we are gonna go to Rilees to have dinna
Spiritual thought: EVERYONE has a beautiful story and everyone has a divine purpose in Heavenly Father's plan of happiness! Go out and find people! This week I've have an urge to talk to everyone and get to know there story because everyone deserves the happiness the gospel gives!
