August 4th: Had a very awesome lesson with Kimmy about sharing the gospel in normal and natural ways and she's nine so she's very excited to be a missionary at school! And then we met Abraham! Hes super sweet but doesn't know a ton of English, thankfully my comp Sister Hottinger speaks French!
August 5th: We went to Brother Rudolphs with the Elders because he needed a blessing! We also got to know him a little better and he is super good at the guitar but plays left handed which was cool to watch! And then Elder Johnson needed his back to be popped in that very instant so he layed out on the floor and Elder Widdison walked onto of him to pop it. Lol they crack me up! I felt the spirit during his blessing and he was very grateful to get one! Then we had the most insane lesson with Melisa and she is absolutely nuts! Like insane! But we got some funny videos! Then we had an amazing lesson with John and Carlo joined! We talked about repentance and we made a WOW plan with him and so he puts 3 cigarettes in his mailbox everyday and we come and collect them and so this way he is only smoking 17 a day instead of 20 and so we are so proud of him! Then we had institute and Nuci and Emmanuel came to that!
August 6th: We took John's cigarettes in the morning and had a cute little spiritual thought with him! A ton of finding, some lessons and then had an epic lesson with Carlo about the kingdoms of glory and it was a deep conversation but so cool, I went to a lesson with the other Sisters friend Alex! And then we set up Carlo, Chris and Joes family history! And then ofc we goofed around and played down by the banks and the floor is lava..lol best night ever! Freaking love the recent converts!
August 7th: Zone Conference!! It lasted all day cause we live 3 hours from Palmyra but it was so fun and seeing Sister Johnson and Sister Cluff was seriously so amazing! I miss them so much!
August 8th: we were knocking and heard this banger music and so we followed the sound of the music and found this super cool guy named Sincere! He was chill and we set a time to come backThen we threw a surprise birthday party for Elder Johnson!! And played his favorite song on the movie Rio! Lol it was the best! We had a spiritual thought at Sister Joys! And then we had an amazing lesson with Nuci and Chris! It was super deep but exactly what she needed and we just love her so much!! Then Volleyball! And the Rick's came and there Daughter Daphne loves me! And Daphne reminds me of my sister soooo much so she said she wishes I was her older sister! I seriously love her!
August 9th: Today was so fun! We went blueberry picking with Rachel (recent convert) and her and her husband are so cute! We got sooo many blueberries and so our friends are going to get quite a lot of blueberry treats this week! Then we went to lunch with the district to this super fancy Thai place but I have no money left so I bought the cheapest thing on the menu haha. Then we had a couple lessons fall through and so we made cookies for Clide (recent convert ) and his daughters cause there aunt died :(. Then we went finding downtown and found Kiana and she was super cool and then we had dinner at our mission dad's house! Chris! Us and the Elders and it was seriously so fun! Chris was baptized like 4 weeks ago now and is seriously like my dad on the mission! Hes a science teacher in high school and super goofy! Elder Johnson made homemade pasta with meatballs and my nickname is meatball and so everyone kept laughing about that lol! And then we had 3 lessons back to back! Harryse! We talked about how much Jesus Christ loves us all equally and individually! Then a lesson with Clarence and he just told us all about his life...i think he thinks we are therapist and not missionaries but oh well and then a super long lesson with Sister Adkins an inactive member! But had some cool crazy life experiences!
August 10th: Sunday! Yay! We went to the Greene Branch and gave talks..my talk was supposed to be 20 minutes but it was 12ish so oops sorry sister Hotinger.. but she did great! I was able to watch Elizabeth get baptized on the zoom in pulaksi! That made my heart so happy! We had a lesson with a Spanish family in Greene! Then we drove all the way to a refural who doesn't exist!
