Transfers! February 20, 2023

Hope you've all had a good week!


Mine was busy!  We had to clean out our apartment because they are shifting mission boundaries, and this town, and apartment, will now be a part of the Pittsburgh, PA mission.  It was a big job, because several sister missionaries have left clothing here, because they went home from here. (AKA died). Anyway, I was so tired this week that I had a a hard time staying awake in church with a couple of our friends.  Oops! 

TUESDAY:

Well Tuesday was my last day in Wellsville. 🥲 Always a bitter sweet feeling to move from one place, where I've grown to love the ward, the people and my companion, and move to another, where there's a feeling of excitement and newness.

WEDNESDAY:
We had car problems and as a result my comp and I drove to zone conference separately, which is fine as long as we follow the "stay in sight and sound rule." So I'm going along following my companion while maps is up and then we decided to call our recent convert, Casey one last time. As we were talking, I took a wrong turn, lost my companion, and then missed an exit later on while on a call with my companion😱😂, It apparently just was not my day to drive! But we both arrived at the building, though we were like 45 minutes late!😅  

We found our new companions and left, separate directions. Since our old area, Wellsville, is no longer in our mission, we both moved to different areas.  I'm now in Elmyra, NY!  It's a town bigger than Salem, but smaller than Spanish Fork.  Much bigger than my last town! I got to go to Young Woman's for the first time in forever! Because Wellsville had no youth. And we met with one of our friends Lisa who is so sweet! She is very much a talker!

THURSDAY: 
We got to do service which was awesome! We labeled cans! And we had stopped at this doorstep and a woman answered and when we asked to share a verse she said no. But then her little daughter came out and was like, I want to hear a verse! So they both listened to a verse! And then the lady thanked us because she had been having a hard day and accepted a Book of Mormon. Sadly we were not able to set up lessons but she now has a Book of Mormon!

FRIDAY:
We had a great lesson with our other progressing friend Dawn! And a returning member Brother Carmen. As well as another returning Member Brother Bower.

SATURDAY:
We had a funeral, which was very sad but the talks and music were amazing. And we got to help set up and it was a good experience. And then we went to visit this very sweet member and had a good discussion with her.

Sunday:
Was so good! Church was amazing and we had two friends at church! Dawn and Lisa and they said they loved it! I loved it too, even though I was so tired!  Prayers to get them there every week or almost every week would be appreciated.

We also had a great discussion with a lady, Mary Ann and towards the end she was like, do you have any pamphlets, so we were able to give her a pamphlet!

May 23, 2022 - Rain in a Second

  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...
