FOURTh of JULY 🇺🇲⚾️🧢

 Heyy yall! How was your fourth? Mine was the best ever!!!!!

July 1st: Exchanges with Ithica! :) we had an epic lesson with Carlo and Joe (recently baptized like two days before lesson) and Joe has a fire testimony and was able to testify to Carlo about the Holy Ghost and the spirit was so strong and it was seriously the best lesson ever! Sister Bjorn read a scripture in Galatians..the exact same scripture i read that morning and before taht morning I had never read Galatians in my entire life! It was definitely a sign that God is in the details! And Carlo just texted us and said he wants to talk about BAPTISM! yeeehaaawwww!!! I'm so excited gor him! Hes so ready! Then we had Scottish dancing which i seriously suck at..but i try my best lol and institute which I love! 

July 2nd: We had a lesson with Anna! She was an atheist for 30 YEARS but she wants to learn about God and since we've been teaching her she is convinced she believes in God now! So the next step is to help her belive in Jesus Christ! We met this guy named Nicholas who complimented my BOM and it was really sweet! I've put a lot of effort in that so it was nice to be recognized for that! And he became a friend!

July 3rd: There was a giant storm but Carlo still drove all the way to the church to have a lesson with us! Then we went to the union diner with the gals and they talked about oldhigh school stories. Sister dinardo told us how she tried her hardest not to be popular and how she succeeded in that so that was pretty funny lol. Then we had a lesson with Tia about temples and honestly it was kinda the worst lesson ever..she had some questions that we had no idea how to answer so uh hopefully she prays about those and questions.. then we met this super elect guy named Bryan at the store and get this..he had to leave so we couldn't get his number but we gave him a card and had faith he would text us and not five minutes later he gave us a text!!!! God is in the details! I think thats ligit the first time a contact card worked ( atlest for a normal person..it has worked with a couple creeps) 

July 4th!!!!! Bassett dayyt EVAAaaaa!! Pres pretty much said we have the day off and we can stay up til 11pm so we went the church and invited Carlo to the pancake breakfast thing with the elders and ward, watched kids ride there bikes around the parking lot, went to target, watched a fourth of July orchestra, rode the carousel and went to a fire baseball game and watched probs the best firework show in my life alllll in pday clothes! WIN!! And got home with 10 minutes to spare! 

July 5th: played football with the ward and Elders for like 2 and a half hours! Traveled to Greene to find friends and inactive members! Had dinner with the Elders and Chris and crocheted at Sister joys ( actually I completely suck at crocheting but uh I tried my best but its definitely not my thing haha)

July 6th: Went to church all of the sisters (including myself bore our testimonys) Then we had a lesson with Sister matrese and met this cool guy named Paul and then had an epic lesson with Don and Clide and Nadia and His oldest daughter and put CLIDE on date for the 16th!!!

Spiritual thought: Do your best and God will magnify! Its amazing that he can love you as you are! Ether 12:27
