Love Y'all!

Hey hey! 
This week has definitely been one of the more interesting ones…

Epic Fail:
We had an exchange with the sisters up in Lawton Oklahoma from Thursday to Friday.
 It went really well, but when I woke up that morning I had a tonnn of little bites. We aren't super sure what bit me (and not a single one on my comp) but it was enough to make me have a fever and have to go to urgent care. I got a steroid shot in my hip- it hurt sooo bad- and was given some steroid pills. We counted over 50 bites. I'm doing so much better now, but we have medical miles since I can't bike for a couple of days. What an adventure! The work still moves forward!

☆We met a family! The Grants are so amazing. They had so many good questions for us, and wanted us to come back to teach them! They loved the children's Bible and Book of Mormon picture book that we read with them. And sooo cool after we were done, they asked if we accepted gifts and gave us the cutest missionary care packages! The mom runs a boutique and put some stuff together for us. We adore them!!!
☆I had the best coconut cream pie of my entire life EVER. This lady in the ward invited us for lunch on Sunday, and she made the best roast and the best pie ever. I wish my stomach was bigger because it was so good. Sister Thomas and her boyfriend are just angels, it's so fun to make friends on the mission. She grew up in Spanish Fork, so we got to talk about that too. 
☆ We met Sister Navarro and her mom, Santa. She lived in Washington, Utah (her house is a 2 min walk from grandma and grandpas), Payson, and Lehi. The church makes the world suchhh a small place. 
☆We got a referral on Monday from Tony! When we went to his house, the first thing he said was that he wanted to be baptized. We were like, “we can help you with that!” So wr will be working with him to be baptized in July! He has a long way to go, but a big heart, so please keep him in your prayers!!

Remember God loves you and so do I!

Hey y’all!     This has been quite. the. week.      Highlights: -got to see Sister Demmerly at mission tour! -Got to spend some time with Ann at Bingo -Had a ward Christmas party, all of the primary girls decorated cookies and gave them to me. And they waited for me to eat them…. it’s so good to see that they look up to me, and want me to get obese.  -had a Christmas devotional with the whole mission -Sister Okie drew me the best picture ever of me and Morgan Wallen, and Sister Sody told a story based on the picture. Funniest comp bonding ever:) -Held the CUTEST puppy ever named Lola.     So on Friday, we were in the middle of teaching Toni. The lesson was pretty good, when all of a sudden the biggest BOOM happened. Like the blinds and doors were shaking in the house. And there was the brightest light that flashed. (Now I’ve been in Missouri during huge thunderstorms, I thought I’ve seen and heard it all.) I thought that WW3 was starting. No joke....

Hey y’all!! Oh. My. Goodness. I changed my P-day because I’m going the the temple today. I’m so happy to be going to the Lord’s house with Norma-Jean, but tell ya what I am TIRED!!! But in the best way;) Its been a kind of slow week and a half, the roads are COVERED with ice so we have not been allowed to drive. So that means: 1. doing all of our work over the phone… 2. begging members to give us rides 3. walking everywhere we go  Soooo this week we…. -did over 60 hours of phone work -had ALL of our lessons cancel on us -more than half of our member meals canceled on us -we ran out of food, money, and miles -I made sister sody so jealous because everyones little kids come and give me the biggest hug, then just stare at her…and it always happens to the people who we’ve never met. She says it’s a spiritual gift haha.  -got my fingernails painted by Dallas’ little girl named Haven.  -got our hair cut by sister kern, she’s from Salem and I had NO IDEA!! -watched “why I believ...

Next Stop: PROVO MTC

Hey y’all! What a week! Hope you all had a happy Halloween! I love being a missionary.  My district and I joke that it’s giving us a sliver of what being a new parent is like.  You go to bed tired, you wake up tired, all day you’re tired. But it’s okay, because you love it!!  -My family made it to Italy! They love it! Must be quite the adventure having no car, no house, and having a loaf of bread cost nearly $10…  -I have spent over 50 hours on the computer between classes, lessons, and zoom meetings with my district and my companion.  -I taught my first lesson! It’s starting to feel so real and I’m loving every minute of it.  -Had the ward trunk or treat… I love halloween so of course I had to dress up… -Had chicken and rice for dinner! I’m telling you, any type of chicken is a food that makes me proud to be an American.  -Probably drank half of my body weight of lemonade and chocolate milk… don’t worry mom. Nama and Bampa are taking good care of me! ...
