Planks, Travel, Music - March 13, 2023

Hello Family and Friends,


                                                                    
                                                                            Exchanges!

So we got notified Monday evening that we were going to be doing a music piece at Zone conference, on Wednesday. 🥳😱 which I've been wanting to do but having no prep time was so stressful! 


TUESDAY:
We played pickleball with one of our members and her friend. I am not very good but I'm improving. And it's a lot of fun! We also had a great lesson about sharing the gospel with one of our members! Which was amazing! We also set up a return appointment with a family! And we did music practice when we could!

Wednesday:
Zone conference, the day we had been preparing for (for 1 day and 1 evening). 1st they opened up member meals in our mission! And we did a plank contest, I did not last last very long. But we had a Sister who held a plank for about 9 minutes, and beat all the other missionaries!  And then our musical number... I was so nervous. It was I Know That my Redeemer Lives, and I was doing the piano. But soon as I started playing all the nervousness slowly disappeared so I was very grateful for God's help there. 

FRIDAY:
We had service and met with Cynthia! She is so amazing! So she's been asking for pamphlets and apparently she gives them to her family. She purposely left a Book of Mormon at someone's house, "accidentally," So she is doing so amazing at sharing what she's learning! And when we mentioned that there was a living prophet on the earth, and apostles, she was like, no way! And she is so excited to listen to him! We also had a good lesson about Ammon with one of our members! 

SATURDAY:
Was really fun. I went on an exchange to Owego again. While there we had a meal with some members and less active members and there was a church invitation exchanged! We made cookies! We also helped a returning member to work on her family history which she loved! And she was so amazed there was history already in! 

Random story, and kinda awkward: We knocked someone's house  and they had a really cool frozen bush under their front window.  I was staring at it because it was so cool.  I looked up, not trying to "look in," and when I did I met eyes with someone through their window. They were sitting on their couch.  No one came to the door so it was a little bit awkward... but we left a card. Hopefully it will bless their lives! 

With someone else, we had a long lesson about travel and the Plan of Salvation and how it related to her family, so it was very good. 

It's so amazing how God is in every detail of our lives how he directs and guides us so we can find those we truly need to find! For he truly does live to help each of us!

My final words for the day...Let Him find YOU!

Thanks for all your love and support!

Love

  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...
