What up yalls!!! It's email time! Yay!! (actually writing this sometimes is a pain cause it takes a long time but it's sooo worth it cause I love you all) but this week was really good so let's get to it!
January 21st: Today was my 6 months so that's crazy!! You'd think we would have done something cool for me and Sister Simpsons 6 months but the coolest thing we did was climb a snow pile in the target parking lot soo yeah. So we decided to go finding the whole morning even though there was a travel advisory telling us not to...we decided to anyways cause Sister Fellars is a good driver! And we were sick of the snow controlling us! Tbh it probably wasn't the best idea to go out..but yk it was fun! So we drove around parking lots and the roads were icy and there were two people outside! So score! Anyways finding felt like we were being stalkers targeting people cause there were barley any people but it worked and once they realized we are just three nineteen year old girls they weren't scared no more! We found this older guy and we asked him how he finds joy and he said he never dated a Joy but he dated a Joyce..and she apparently was pretty fun..then we climbed a snow pile and then there was a travel ban so we had to go home from 5 pm--the rest of the night :(
January 22nd: Alrighty today we had district council, today in district council we talked about obedience! We talked about how obedience brings the spirit and exact obedience brings blessings! And I totally agree with that! The days we have more good things happen are the days I'm more timely and diligent! After district council we played basketball with the Elders and played revenge! Soo it took like an hour for anyone to win but it was a lotta fun and took up all our lunch time but I got a pb and j so that was good. We started up battle of the districts again and this time our district is kicking butt! Anyways for the challenge we had to call a friend and share a kids video with her and one of her kids! So we called Maytoi cause we talk to her every single day!! ( we do morning prayers with her now) and we asked her to share a video to her daughter! We went apartment knocking and met this guy named Peter and after we told him who we were he said he wasn't interested and we said "okay have a good day and he said "have a good day" and we said "God bless!" And he said "HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!" ( tbh I don't think he really wanted us to have a good day but too bad cause we did) Then we had buddy study at this cute shop place! And comp study we studied patients and humility! And we had a good spiritual discussion about it! Then our steward ship call went really really long but it was sorta good..idk. then we went to youth night and played sardines!
January 23rd: So North Park slept over for exchanges and we went finding at the georcry store and we found some cool people! There was this one lady who looked really upset so I told her she is a daughter of God and that she is beautiful! She squeezed my hand and said thank you and it was really sweet! It felt really good to just be genuine with her! Then we went to go see our friend Bill! Not the cool chocolate Bill but the other Bill! He said he is a die hard catholic who doesn't read the scripturs or pray.. anyways then we switched companions and had service at the BOLO place and I organized a bunch of costumes. Then after service we were supposed to have a lesson with Leo at the church but we didn't have the keys but Bro Liscom said we could have the lesson at his house and it was sooo cool!!! Bro Liscom served a mission too and so his testimony was so strong and it was awesome! But driving up the hill to his house was scary!! Bro Liscom asked if Leo would be at church and he said he had to work!! SAD FACE!! But it was still a great lesson about the restoration! Then we had dinner at the Robisons and talked about patients with them! We had an awesome phone call lesson with this lady named Debbi and she is soooo elect!! She was just wondering like what's the purpose of this earth and stuff and we were like heck yeah that's what we teach as missionaries! Then we were at this gas station for like an hour cause we had to get our gas receipt and use the restroom and my companions bought ice cream and soo the guy working there probably thought we were crazy.
January 24th: Exchanges at Lockport! We had a lesson with this guy named Jario! He's so cool but he has two tear drop tatts soo uh scary!! Then we went to Tops and fr everyone there seemed to have woke up on the wrong side of the bed cause so many people told me to keep driving as if they knew I was gonna talk about Jesus...there is a little Jesus sticker on the window so Ig they did know. We had this phone call with this old guy and he was talking to us for an hour and I said maybe one word and then he also decided he wanted to say the prayer sooo five minutes later and then we had lunch and then we had a lesson with this guy who said he wants a gf real bad and sooo we changed the topic about prayer! and this lady over heard and wanted to learn more and so we got her number! For comp study Elder Olsen read this passage that said plant, water...and it sounded like he said plant water and it was really funny for some reason.
January 25th: We cold called this awesome lady named Amber and set up a church tour with her! Then we also set up a church tour with this guy named Jose!! And a bunch of other stuff happened buts it's not super exciting so.
January 26th: SUNDAYS YAY!! So we had church and Jose actually came!! Like crazy!! People usually say they will come and never come and it's like bruh.. then we met Dona that day and it was by knocking! We were cold knocking housed and Satan kept talking me to turn around cause it was cold and stuff but I was like no! And so we found this old lady named Donna and she gave us hot chocolate and just talked to us about her life for like an hour! Then we had a lesson with Norman! He has no teeth and talked to us for forever and then when we startedto talk he decided he would rather go eat pizza instead of talk to us! Then we had an awesome lesson with Samra an inactive member! She has a cute cat!
Spiritual thought: Be obedient and your efforts will be magnified!!
Okay. Love yall
