Snow Storms and Zone Conference - December 19, 2022

 Hi Friends and Family!

                                                                   Our 2-Hour Exchange!


TUESDAY:

Well we had decided to walk to someone we were trying to find... as missionaries do. And we had a lesson with someone else afterwards. So we get to the lesson, with a inactive member Sister Baker. And during our conversation she was like. I saw you girls playing out in the cold and tried yelling hello, you didn't hear me. And we were like.... sorry. But she was good with it and made us cocoa! 

WEDNESDAY:

We had a great lesson with our friend Bev. And we were also able to visit with the 99 year old woman again, Mary, which was so much fun!

THURSDAY:

So we have started getting snow! And we had Zone Conference (a meeting of many missionaries) on Friday in palmyra which is like 2 hours away.  I promise these 2 facts will connect! According to the weather forecast there was supposed to be a storm that evening so we were like, let's drive up Thursday morning so we can be there for Zone Conference and do exchanges. Well we got up there had lunch and then found out Zone conference got postponed because of how bad the weather was supposed to be! So the drive back down took 3 hours! And are now going up later tonight to try all that again.  Successfully this time. It was an...interesting day.  Wellsville, where I live, only got a dusting.

SATURDAY:

We had been tasked by our ward to try to find someone and we were given the apartments but they did not know her number. So we looked at the mailboxes on one side of the stairs and knocked those without names. Well once we got to the last building we realized the whole time we were knocking we had assumed there was one set of mailboxes, but there were two!😱 But we had a lesson we had to get to so we were just like, maybe we'll come back later.  

At the members lesson we got to turn on her Christmas tree which was awesome!
We also met with one of our recent converts which was amazing!

SUNDAY:

We had a friend come to church! Her name is Bev and she is Brother Allen's wife! And we called Brother Allen earlier and we're like, would Bev like to come to church? And he was like, I was just going to ask her. And he did and she came!🥳  We also spent some time helping a member make stuff for Christmas to give out to others, and had food with a friend. So that was good.

And that's a wrap! Love you all and Merry Christmas!

  TUESDAY: We had Zone Conference day #1. Elder Johnson of the seventy came which was cool.  There are also three Martin's in our mission, none related to each other. I also had exchanges. WEDNESDAY : Our catch up day. We had a lot of lessons! THURSDAY : Day #3 of zone conference. Another exchange. Within the exchange I got to do my first service on the mission  and I started a phone call in Spanish. Which was cool. FRIDAY : We had lessons and some finding. SATURDAY: It was soo hot. We got up to like 89sh. I was walking up a set of stairs and a huge bee stopped right in front  of my forehead before I stepped forward.   luckily I saw and stopped but I almost got stung by a bee.  We also has a storm Saturday evening., and the rain came on so fast it was bizarre.  I'm still trying to decide how I like the weather here, but I guess spring is unpredictable everywhere. SUNDAY: We went to church. We had lots of lessons and visited a older member in our w...

Baptism and everything! - June 5, 2023

Hello beautiful people,                                                        Sister Prall and I found some beautiful Daisies. MONDAY: We had an awesome lesson with one of our friends Chris! We talked about Jesus Christ and why he had to come!  And we called random people at the church which was a bit strange but good! TUESDAY: So we had a slightly distracted lesson with our new friend Bryan. (Not the recent convert) we tried talking about prophets which went well but he kept on going on tangents about false prophets and some other tangents. And pulling him back to the fact that there is a true prophet today was fun. But we think we got the point across! But we had an awesome lesson about The Prophet and The Priesthood with our recent convert Bryan which was amazing!  We talked with someone I was talking to on Fac...

Problems are Like a Washing Machine - August 7, 2023

Hello, Wonderful Week!  Hope it was for you too! TUESDAY: Well Tuesday we had a lot of lessons planned, then they all fell through so instead we did a lot of finding. We stopped by this one house and they were just letting their dogs out so we got to pet two of their dogs who were very nice! One of them stayed a boy further back and made us a bit nervous but the owner was there so it was fine! We ended up having a good conversation with her though she wasn't interested. WEDNESDAY: We met with Sister Wilkinson! And when we went we thought it would just be Sister Wilkinson, then Autumn joined us and we just read to them from The Book of Mormon together! It was awesome! And Autumn was involved and commenting which she hasn't been the past few times we've gone!  We then showed up for youth night but it ended being somewhere else so we talked to the adults instead which was good! We also had a lesson with Jodi which was good! And we talked to someone named William who I had talk...
