was actually so cool. Ethan
Alright yall I have exactly 10 minutes to write this email so it's not gonna be that great but you should still pretend it's the most impact full thing you've read all day!!


June 17th: secret refurall Olympics started and so we are trying to kick all the other zones butts at that currently. We met an old dude smoking named randy but he was actually so cool. Ethan freaked out at institute class but Chris brought the spirit back and I learned how to Scottish dance!


June 18th: DC at the croslands! And we helped them move and our district could not stop laughing for like 15 years it was so funny! Elder Johnson only brought long sleeve shirts so he got a pocket knife and cut a very uneven short sleeve shirt with his garments poking out and he lost all his tags so thankfully we had some tape and so they wrote Elder Johnson on some tape! 


June 19th: we played capture the flag for youth night and that was absolutely crazy! And Carlo said he wants to get baptized!!! ( eventually)


June 20th: we had lunch at the Davey s house and it was yummy! We had a pretty Goodspritual thought too and volleyball!


June 21st: I Hit my 11 months and we went to a strawberry festival and talked to a ton of people there and no one was interested but whatever cause tyen we had the sweetest most spirit filled lesson with pearl and she seriously was praying for people to visit her and we were there! 


June 22: Church! BBQ and getting to know Sister brigmond! She was one of the only sisters ever to go to Russia on her mission


Love sista Hodges

Fish to BIG CITY

















































Soooo this week is crazy! My mtc comp is now greenie breaking my greenie Sister Johnson and I'm greenie breaking her mtc comp!!!! Which is sooo wild!! So I'm in a big boy city called binghamton where we seriously just walk around a giant city talking to everyone!


June 3rd: We had lunch at Sister Jones and I got to say goodbye one last time and I guessed Sister Simpson would come to the land of fish! Got it right! I had my last lesson with Patrick ( dude that believes inbig foot) and Sophie! Then he offered to give us a hug again and I was like bro you get a high five cause even though you say do hugs not drugs Ik you do drugs lol. Then I said good bye to old xavier the most stubborn inactive member there is haha!


June 4th: We had a really long lesson with leyna and she made me a card and it was just so sweet! I miss her so much! Then we had a lesson with Frank about family history and then he made me a cutting board so that was cool! Then we went and had a sweaty lesson with Crystal and Elizabeth cause they also have no AC like us!! (But in binghamton I have AC mwhahahaha it's the best) 


June 5th: TRANSFER DAY! sooo transfers were awesome! I had to say good bye to Sister Johnson and that was really hard because I just love her so much but I was ready to leave my lovely old fishing town. Me and Sister Daily drove to binghamton and then I met Sister cluff my new comp! She's the GOAT! We get along so good and she's so sweet! Then I also found out I live in a quad now which is actually so fun! I lived in a quad once before but this time the apartments bigger so that's been really nice! We met Amora and she is soooo coool!! She has such a strong testimony in christ and low key think she will get baptized! (Fingers crossed) Then we met a ton of more cool people!


June 6th: Today was so good! We went finding like crazy running around the downtown city! It's so fun! I love being in a city! We just walked around talking to every single person we saw and made 14 friends in 3 days which was definitely all God not us! We are just instruments in his hands! It's just cool to see the impact missionarys have when they work with all there heart might mind and strength! We had another lesson with Amora and met her mom and they both kept our commitments!


June 7th: more miracles! Almost died cause two crazy big dogs attacked me and there owner was very indecent! A coakroach fell out of a police officers hat when we were talking to them downtown and we prayed for more volleyball time and the lord said suck it and go finding instead 


June 8th: church!! It was awesome getting to know the members more and we went to zone council and a fire sight and then a cranky inactive member but like fr love her!


Spiritual thought: "forget yourself and go to work!"
