December 9th: pday stuff! Talked to Fam! Went Shopping! And went to Rilees one last time! And had a crazy call with this guy named Roberto!
December 10th: OH MY GOODNESS!! I'm leaving Rome and going to Orchard Park NY with Sister Simpson and Sister Fellars! I'm in a trio and Sister Simpson ( my mtc comp is my comp again!) I'm so excited to have Christmas with them! My whole mission I've never wanted to be in a trio...but now it's come to pass! Anyways it'll be good though, all three of us get along well so I'm not to worried! So for one of my last days in Rome we had some lessons but we mainly visited members so I could say goodbye and then at the end of the day we went to a choir concert and it makes me miss choir so bad!! But it was overall a great day and now I'm packing like a maniac!
December 11th: My last day in my Rome Home! Holy Cow it came too fast! This morning I said goodbye to Sister Dupont and she made me and Sister Robert's super cute Keychains! Then we had a lesson with Lorrie for the first time eva and talked about Joesph Smith! And oh boy Lorrie loves to talk but she is the sweetest! Then I said goodbye to bishop and Sister Converse and then we played basketball for youth night!
December 12th: Today was actually so hectic but awesome at the same time! So after saying goodbye to the old home Rome we set off to Transfers! On the drive to Transfers we almost ran outta gas! But thank goodness we didn't! We got to Transfers and it's just hectic! We had 20 or so missionaries leave and only about 5 came in! But it turns out Sister Simpson and Sister Fellars can't pick me up cause in Orchard Park there is a travel band because there is soo much snow in Orchard Park! So anyways I got to drive with the Lockport Sisters to Lockport and half my stuff was put in there car cause Sister Edward's was transfered to Lockport and half my stuff was in the North Point car! Anyways we made it to Lockport and we had a lesson with the sweetest old lady eva! She also had a sick bristish accent! We had a lesson about faith and how she had faith she would see her husband again someday so that was super tender! After Dinner we had a lesson with a super cool lady named Jennnifer and she had some awesome questions!
December 13th: Today was crazy! So I started off the day in Lockport and after service at Lockport the Orcahrad Park Sisters came to pick me up! So we drove all the way to Orchard Park and it was really fun catching up with Sister Simpson! The mtc was the best together so it's incredible we are comps! And it was also super exciting getting to know Sister Fellars! I love them both! That night we had a lesson with Mary Lynn and we taught the Holy Ghost and baptism! Then that night we hung out with the freedom ward cause we cover Orcahrd Park and Freedom!! So it's a lot of area to cover! Anyways I got to be the narrator for the Christmas Nativity and then they asked me to read a book for the kids! Turns out all the kids would rather run around the building soo..I read to an elderly couple and maybe one other old lady but still worth it!
December 14th: We had service at the bead of Life place, and I was seriously just scrambling around and following my comps cause I didn't know what to do! We had a lesson with this super cool guy named Darral! We taught him the plan of Salvation at Tim Hortons which is like a Canadian gas station but they are found all over Buffalo NY. Then we got and oil change in our car! We met our bestie Barb in her apartment and she was really kind and she said us coming was a miracle so that made my day! Then we went to Sister Karpinskis house for dinner cause it was her birthday! Then we had a lesson with our bud Dan at the church about temples!
December 15th: CHURCh!!! I got to know the members at church better and this ward is GIANT!! There are like 100 people so a little different than my lil Rome ward! After Church we had choir practice and I'm sooo glad I was able to join some sort of singing group! Then we went to the Showalters for lunch and there kids are adorable!! And I tried to teach a lesson but the kids were going crazy so we just taught the parents mainly hahaa! After that we met this really cool dude named Bill and taught him the spirit world in the hallway of his apartment Then that night we had a Christmas Concert and we got to listen to a bizzilion singers and it was super cool!
December 16: Bill happened to be at the post office!!! And he bought us 45 dollars worth of chocolate!
Spirit Thought: Alma 32! Have faith like a mustard seed! On the mission at the beginning having faith was tricky but now it's been such an amazing experience growing my faith and getting to see the progress in myself and in friends we are teaching!
haha okay love yall!! -sista Hodges
