October 21st: Today I hit my 3 month mark! Yay!! Today for p- day we went on a hike through old forge and Elder Anderson lugged his guitar all the way up the mountain. I also drove two hours today! So that was a lotta driving for me cause I'm used to 5-10 minutes back home. Then after the hike we went to this cute Lil diner and I got a grilled cheese! And I got to talk to my family and that's the best part :)

October 22nd: I WENT TO THE PALMYRA TEMPLE AND SACRED GROVE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVA! so that was really spiritual experience I'll never forget. Our friends the Hams and Barb went with us! And Palmyra is beautiful! There is a windows in the temple that looks out to the Sacred Grove and it's just breathtaking. Then we went on a tour through a replica of Joesph Smiths cabin and also learned more about him growing up. Then that night we went to young women's and played a life action among us In the dark cause there was no electricity in the building so it was really fun! 

October 23rd: We visited Kenneth and Jim and got to know them better and they are both such cool fun people! And we cant wait to have more lessons with them! I was frustrated driving today cause it was a lotta driving again but I didn't get us in a crash so that's good. And there's this sweet lady named Lily who we started teaching that texts us every morning and tells us that she loves us so she was the high light of my day:) 

October 24th: We woke up a bit late today cause Sister Nelsons alarm didn't go off so we raced outta bed and got ready quickly then went to do service at Cluster 13! After service Sister Nelson got some really sweet kicks for 1 dolla and they are brand spanking new sooo she was really luckyyy! Unfortunately my feet are longer than hers so I didn't get any new shoes but it was still awesome cause I got to do service! After cluster we helped this sweet old man rake his leaves, then we had dinner with Barb and then we went to Book of Mormon class and learned more about how our trials can make us stronger 😀. Then halfway through Book of Mormon class the Watertown Sisters showed up and we had a slumber party that night!! Jk we went to bed mostly on time...

October 25th: I didn't sleep so hot last night but we woke up and exersized anyways so we could get pumped up for the day! Then we had a missionary meeting, then did some service for a family in the ward! We cleaned some baseboards for them and I squished an earwig! Then me and Sister brown went door knocking cause we were on exchanges! We found an awesome lady named Lily and met her family then we switched comps and me and sis Johnson went walmart finding and this one guy talked to us for like 20 minutes and he was just rambling about how other people need to be better and stuff haha. Then we had a district counsel and talked about Facebook finding which was super cool and talked about having more faith in Jesus christ which is kinda a quinkadink cause that's what I studied in personal study today :) After zone counsel we played volleyball and it was really fun and this kid named Franky plays with us and he's so crazy cause he will run across the whole gym to hit the ball and smack the ceiling! We have hit that ceiling so many times now I'm surprised it's not destroyed. 

October 26th: Today was da HALLOWEEN partayyy! So we started off the day painting with Robin and told her a bit about the church and temples and stuff. Sister Nelson painted a pretty temple and i painted a dumb tree lol it was not taht good but Robin was showing me how to paint so i was just doing everything she told me to do. Then we went to Brandon's baptism and he and Elder Anderson are like besties! Then we went to Barbs and had a lesson with her about temples. Then we had the HALLOWEEN PARTAYY there was a chili cook off, a cake walk, donut eating contest and Elder Ham won that one. Then for tye trunk or treat we gave our car some sweet teeth and we passed out candy while listening to Halloween music. 

October 27th: I love sundays! So today was the big musical number! I was so nervous but I sang better for the real deal Sacrament performance then I ever did in any of the practices which was def Heavenly Father watching out for me. I sang peace in Christ! My comp played the flute and it was so pretty and Rilee played da piano! It was Elder and Sister Hams last Sunday :( so they both gave really inspirational talks and Barb and Jane sewed them a very pretty blanket! Then that night we had a lesson with Kaaya and he's a G.O.A.T
