Hello everyone!! It's me, Sister Hodges and I've been Sister Hodges for almost 6 whole entire months!! Only 13 more to go!! Cause I'm a 13 transfer missionary! But it's been good, I've had some good times and plenty of hard times too!
January 14th: TODAY was bomb dot com ( my third grade class would be so proud of me for saying bomb dot com cause frrrr that was the biggest compliment you got in third grade) anyways...I had a lotta motivation today! Today I was really focused on being more Christ like in all I do and say like the primary song. So we had weekly planning this morning and that sucked buttocks cause it just takes so long but I do admit I enjoy the goal part of it cause it helped me refocus on my goals and also start fresh! After that we did some knocking in the snow, I was really tempted to start a snow ball fight but I didn't cause it was freezing!! We didn't make any friends knocking but whatever, it's not about the numbers it's about the people you meet and being genuine with them! We met this sweet old lady named Becka and her husband is a member and a cop so double cool! Then we had am epic church tour with our friend Leo! And after the tour he texted us about how thankful he was that we gave him a tour :) Then we met a cool guy named Dusty!
January 15th: We had district council and our district is crazy, we have a lotta fun together and the Elders were making fun of me cause they call every morning so we do a district group call to make sure everyone's awake and Sister Karpinskis said " oh they finally show up" cause we were late to the call cause we were brushing our teeth and I was like "haha your one to talk" cause she only joins the call sometimes lol and now everyone says that to me. ( BTW this is all just a giant joke there was fr no contention between the district at all) anyways district council was very spiritual as well cause we talked about how to ask people genuine questions! After district council we went knocking and didn't find anyone but then we went to Brother Wingels for dinner and that was fun and after got stuck in a crazy snow storm, our car was sliding around on the roads and we legit almost crashed but the lord got us. Then we had YW and YMs and we played games!
January 16th: We had a lesson with Heather this morning and it was about the ten commandments! Then the whites got us gift cards to target and that was really sweet of them! We went knocking and found this cool guy named Steve! He had a cat who tried to run to freedom but Steve didn't let him! Then we played on a playground in the snow for our five minutes of spontaneous fun! Then we had a lessonnwith maytoi about prophets and went to North Park for exchanges
January 17th: Today was chaos! On exchanges me and Sister Simpson stayed together the whole time but the first time we were with Hermana mills and I asked this lady if I could read a scripture and she said "make it snappy" and five minutes later she gave us hugs soo heart softened!! Yay!! Then we met this cool Spanish guy and talked to him for 30isyh minutes. After that we switched and we got Sister tenny! We had a 2 hour and 30 minute lesson with some bashersss but they made us bread so yay..
January 18th: We did service today, did some knocking and we had an awesome lesson with Leo about 3 Nephi 11 and he actually did the homework go figure!! Geezzz New Yorkers do not like to do there homework aka praying, reading, churching.. so that was awesome and he sent us another text about how much he appreciates us! And the spirit was really strong in that lesson!
Spiritual thought: faith is having trust in God!! If you trust God's plan is better than your own then you have strong faith my friend!!
