what's up! it's been a good week! here's the update - > monday: pday! since we had another pday on thursday, mondays pday only went to 2pm. we did our grocery shopping and then hung with the district for the rest of the time. during proselytizing time we made some contacts and had a lesson with the garcia family. the lesson was good but hard as we had to take them all off date for baptism :( its okay though because we know they'll be ready one day! tuesday: weekly planning day! weekly planning is once a week (obvi) where we plan ideas and lessons to help our friends we also set goals for ourselves, the companionship, and the area. after weekly planning we had 2 lessons. we met with tristin for another after baptism lesson and then we met with jace and jameson. when we arrived to their house they were playing with a girl named cora we asked if she wanted to join the lesson and she said she did! after the lesson we asked if she wanted to learn more and she said she did...

Hey hey! here are the top things that happened this past week : -on tuesday we had dinner with some of the sisters at texas roadhouse as a little farewell for sis heckert it was so much fun and nice to see the other sisters as well!  -tuesday I also felt sick most of the day, I have no idea why but ended up throwing up a few times. we were at one of our friends houses and as sister heckert was saying goodbye I ran out and threw up on their lawn. so that was fun.  -tuesday we also got transfer boards (pretty eventful day) and me and sis lamphere are staying together in the same area! yay!... but we're moving apartments :( it's ok tho  - on wednesday we dropped sis heckert off at the mission office. she's going home!

Baptisms And Rejections

good morning !  this week has been crazyyyy busy. the beginning of the week was rough because we had to set aside (drop) a lot of our friends because they weren't committed to meeting with us. we also had to drop the poulson kids because their mom still didn't think they were ready for baptism. it was so sad. it definitely was an act of faith but we were able to see the blessings from that later in the week since transfers are this thursday and sister heckert is leaving us for home it's been a pretty sad week as sister heckert has been packing and saying bye to everyone. our friends Raul and his fellowshippers took us to red robin which was so fun, got some FIRE burgers.  we also had some really good lessons this week! we were able to put 2 brothers on date jace and jameson for Dec 9th! We've been continuing to meet with iris, tiara and tamara and helping them build their own testimony. weve also had after-baptism lessons with tristin, and the martinez family and they...

We schedule lessons in advance and then they cancel them. the struggle is real. however as the week continued it got so much better! miracles happened!  monday ♡ Zone pday! Consisted of yet again volleyball and gator ball. For proselytizing we visited members to get referalls and had a lesson with Mikelle who's getting baptized the 11th!  tuesday ♡ Halloween! and my 3 month mark!

She also served us some amazing food + played card games!  wednesday ♡ we did car inspections in the morning!and had 5 lessons is the...
