Hey everyone, I apologize for not writing a super amazing email last week I was currently dying with the flu at the moment so writing my email sounded like the worst thing ever..but don't worry I feel 100% today so imma write all the stuff this week and last week so I hope you get your favorite pillow snug up next to you cause this will probably make half of you fall asleep!
March 4th: Today was seriously the best! We found out it was Chucks birthday today! (some random guy we met!) My dad sent me an email saying "happy birthday to someone out there" my dad was either spying on us or secretly is really good friends with Chuck! Crazy coundink!! Actually it's not a coundink God knows everything! We had a lesson with Randy about service, marriage and families! We met this guy named Kody and he is crazy! We had to block his number cause he kept spamming our phone! Anyways I've been really focusing on having interactions with people that make them feel loved! I don't want people to remember missionaries as just people trying to collect all there information I want people to have interactions with missionaries that make them think back and remember how loving and caring we are! I want people to know we genuinely care about there lives, dreams, hobbies and all that stuff! So that's what I've been focusing on! We found these two older people at the store! Jacoba and Rick! Turns out they are the very first people Sister prettyman taught in Pulaski that we lost in contact with and are now in contact with again! We knocked this one street and this guy named Sheldon anwsered and asked how old we are and then he said "I'm 33 so that's okay"...what sheldon?!! That's not okay! Eww..
March 5th: We walked on a frozen lake for our lunch break. fr dumb idea, it was freezing. idk what we were thinking. Then we had a spiritual thought at the Rettigs and with Crystal about Ministering angels! Then we drove around everywhere trying to find people! Then we had dinner at the Jones! We finished our cup song today!
March 6th: Interviews with president! I told him IM READY TO TRAIN PREZ!! And he was like that's good. So hopefully I train! I'm ready! Am I ready?? Fake it til you make it ig! Then we went on exchanges! Met some cool people! Had a killer lesson about baptism! Then we played hockey with the Johnsons that night and my team crushed it! The last two games I had to fend for myself and that made it harder! But I finally got to play a game of chair soccer!
March 7th: We had a micro training on something pretty good, unfortunately I forgot to write it down but I'm sure it was pretty good. We met Tyler at the gas station and talked about the importance of reading the scriptures! We had a lesson with Crystal about 3 nephi 10-21 and connected the waiting period/trail of faith with Crystal! She knows she wants to get baptized but she might have to wait a bit longer until Tate man's up a marries her. We had a super long lesson with Jacoba and Rick! We played scripture baseball with the Johnsons!
March 8th: We had a killer lesson with Matt about enduring to the end! Then we met Tye! Tye is a senior in high school but he's super interested in the gospel! Then we did a heck load of finding! Unfortunately no one was interested womp womp! Then we had dinner at the Rettigs and talked about the brother of Jared! Sometimes the lord puts things in our hands to figure out for ourselves before he can help us!
March 9th: THIS SUNDAY was the BEST! Despite the fact I was not feeling Supa hot. Anyways we had church and linger longer! So that was really fun! Everyone was there!! All 20 people! I love this branch! Then we went finding and found a lil family and they are the best! Her name is Liz and her kids are so cute! Then we had the best lesson with Tye on the phoe ever!! It was a mix of resto and gospel!! Then we met this awesome guy apartment knocking named Jahlin! Then we had dinna at the Johnsons! Took us like a million times to get a group photo cause fr everyone was jumping off the couch or making funny faces! And a lesson with the Rettigs about something..idk I was feeling Reay sick so fr sista prettyman carried!

And a funny guy named Gary who told us God would tell him if he needed anything else in his life and we were like Gary we are the sign from God but he told us God would tell him..bru uh hh!
March 14th: We had some solid lessons!! Accidentally drove outta our area and met a lady with 7 cats!
