What in the sand hills!?! I've been a missionary for 5 months! Haha i just used that second emoji cause its my moms favorite...anyways its wild! It feels like 2 at most! I'm almost a third of the way there! This must mean I'm pretty wise now...jk I'm not. But the gospel is so awesome and I love teaching and learning more each day!
December 18th: Yay!! The Christmas party was today and it was pretty epic!! So we woke up and got to wear our p-day clothes almost all day long! It was awesome! That morning we picked up Zuster Karpinski ( Sister in dutch) We finally made it to the missionary p-p-partayyy lol! At first we were split up in a groups and we played group games and which ever team won the most games won! Our team won even though the only time I participated was in the rock paper scissors game and I was the first one to lose lol our other team mates thankful made up the difference lol. Then we had the talent show! There were many talents including, egg juggling ( which BTW both Elders couldn't juggle at all and got egg all over the ground) Lego quick building...( kinda more like slow Lego building) and some piano pieces and stuff but the best one of the night was our talent! All of the BUFFALO ZONE got up on stage and danced and rapped to Justin Beiber drummer boyyy! ( don't worry it's a rap about Jesus) In my personal opinion ours was the best cause my 8th grade hip hop moves came back in play. After the talent show President played this video about the Buffalo bills! Anyways the main message was to remember the reason why we are out here and to be in the moment! So our mission statement thing is: " Where else would I rather be than right here, right now!" ( Buffalo bills saying) after the party that night we went carroling with the youth!!
December 19th: Carlos ( our cars name) dropped the green beans today!! Twice! So it started off not so great cause I was feeling stressed cause I thought I did a bad job on the lesson we has with Heather about the plan of Salvation, but turns out I actually did fine and I was beating myself up! Then we had service at the Bread of Life Outreach, there were so many people there! Then Sister Simpson cooked grean beans for dinner but we didn't have enough time to eat them so we took them into the car and we spilled them before the lesson with Bill and Jonanne and after. Then we met these people with some stinky/cutish dogs..but the people were so cool and they said they have met missionaries before! Then we had this really cool phone call with Josue! We thought he blocked us in mid sentence but turns out his phone just died!
December 20th: exchanges!! Today was absolutely exhausting but also awesome! Anyways we had a bizzilion lessons and stuff! Sister Oldroyd says she loves how I use a scripture in every interaction I have! We decided that every yellow house we would knock! So we made two friends by doing that! One of our friends names was Tom! He is sooo cool and funny! He said he just turned 50 years old! Anyways after complimenting everyone we went finding again and had a really cool phone call with someone! Dang it they are from North Dakota.
December 21st: Tbh today wasn't super productive cause I think we were all so burnt out from exchanges! And today is my five months so woohoo! But we did go to service that day and had a lesson with our friend Dan and read 3rd Nephi chapter 11!
December 22nd: Today was absolutely freezing!!! Like the cold air outside felt like a slap to the face! But it was church!! Yay!! And for church there was so beautiful musical numbers! We had a lesson with Tom outside and it was really cold! Then we started the battle of the districts! The challenge today was to get a Pic with a member and sing to them!
Spiritual thought: 3rd Nephi 11 makes me feel the spirit so much! And that was a scripture we used a lot for our lessons! Jesus Christ really does care about everyone individually!
Okay love yall and merry Christmas 🤶 🎄
