And here's my address if you want to send a letter instead of an email ahah, I do love mail, my ma can testify to that ahha!! 1320 Ridgeland Ave, Naperville, IL 60563 Monday: Today was not p-day lol.But it was a good day. Pretty much fast forward to the end of the the night because the whole day was lots of phone calls and some lessons here and there. Anyways though we had a part member meal with this really funny family and they live in Remington and we were planning on being there at 5:30 and technically we did get there on time but we had forgotten that we have two time zones in our area and so technically we were an hour late and so when we got there they said no worries we can just warm the food up 🤦‍♀️, we felt so bad. We had really good pork chops and some other things, it was very scrumptious. We stayed there for maybe longer than we needed to because there were like 20 conversations going on at the same time and there are only three of them and so it was really hard to find a good time to say we gotta go ahha. Now we finally were able to leave and as we were driving back to Crown Point we thought it would be fun to count how many trucks there are on the freeway. In the span of 20 min we counted 266 it was wild! Tuesday: P-Day!!! Today was something. In the morning I did laundry and as it was going we had to go to the Doctors for Sis. Surio, she is still not feeling well. Anyways I thought after the Doctors we would be able to go home and change the laundry so that no one had to touch my stuff but we ended up spending the whole day at the church with the elders. We played games for a little bit and I taught a few how to play nertz and that was something lol. After that we went to panda and that was fun/funny and then we talked to fam the rest of p-day. Once we got going on the day we had lots of our lessons fall through and so as we were doing phone work we went to Burger King because we wanted the kids toy lol, we got that and then zoomed home and when we were on a meeting call I was getting my laundry and it was GONE!! I started freaking out because it had lots of my clothes but thankfully people are really nice and they just put them back into the washer but oh my goodness im never doing that again lol. Wednesday: District Council/ Interviews with President! District Council was good, I gave a training on Faith unto Repentance and it turned out pretty good I think, we had a good discussion and Sister Chase joined us so that was AMAZING!! As a couple of us were waiting to be interviewed we were just chatting with Sis. Chase and she was telling us how President proposed and lots more things. It was good! Then it was my turn for interviews and it was kinda a let down ngl because when I got in he was like I only have 5 minutes to talk and I was like oh… and ofc my brain goes blank and so it was a meh interview but I did invite them to my homecoming and we laughed about it because I still got a year but he said we will absolutely be there, I was like letssss goooo!!! The rest of the day was just like any other day, all the lessons fell through and so we ended up doing lots of phone work. Thursday: 200 DAYS!!!!! Today we had Dairy Queen with Sis Barnes and man it was sad funny because when we first got to her house she was not happy because of some things that were going on but we were able to cheer her up and we had a good day but we all needed a nap for sure lol. We then did phone work at Starbies and we got drinks and some snacks, I got cheese and man was that good, I love cheese haha. We then had a member meal and it was something for sure. As many of you know I STRUGGLE with silence, ive gotten better but man during this meal it was very dead and I was quite literally screaming inside Haha. Friday: GAME DAY!! Today went by soo fast but it was so fun! We had service in the morning which was just us playing Farkle and Dominos with an inactive member and the Sr. Sisters, it was so fun. We played games and had lunch all together and did that from 10:30-1:30. It was fun and I won Farkle!!!! We had some member visits and lessons throughout the rest of the day until it hit about 7ish when Daniel had his baptism interview, which he passed and will be getting baptized this Sunday ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! But while Daniel was getting interviewed there was a ward game night happening and so we played with the kids and Elder Arnett was playing with one of the little boys and it was the funniest thing because they were just bullying each other but in a goofy way, just to make sure yall know that lol. And that was the end of the day, lots and lots of games today! Saturday: Doctors again. We had to get up early today because we had to drive an hourish for another doctor's appointment. Sister Surio got x-rays and while she was doing that I was watching this home renovation show and man was it good, I love watching shows like that. After the very long ride back we did some service for a member and ill let you guess what we did next 🥁🥁🥁🥁 MORE CALLS yayyyy! But during all these calls the President actively called us which scared me for a sec because I was like oop are we getting Emergency Transferred? But luckly we aren't and it was just about Daniel. Anyways we went to Grandma Bev's house and every time we go over she doesn't let anyone else help her with her technology besides me and its really funny. Finally after the day was over I decided to make banana bread which turned out AMAZING and I had bought flour earlier thinking we were almost out of flour but it was sugar we were out of and so I had to ask our neighbors for sugar but they were super nice about it so that was awesome! And the bread came out amazing, might I say lol. Sunday: Super fun/ crazy Sunday. Church was good like always, during the second hour we were running around like crazy people but it all was fine. After church we went down to Rensselaer and did more phone work and then went to the members house that lives in a different time zone and we actually made it on time. It was a blessing! We had a good lesson with them and chatted a lot after. We then zooomed🏃‍♀️💨 to the sisters house for dinner and they made Chicken and Cashews which made me so happy because 1 it was my mas recipe and 2nd it reminded me of home and I loved it! It was their first time ever making it and they did a pretty good job at it but my ma’s is still the best! We played Skipbo and then we zoomed back to Crown Point for a lesson at A MEMBERS HOUSE, blessed is what I gotta say about that lol. Anyways there is the week for yall, love you all so so much and hope you had an amazing week and hope you have a good rest of your week🫶💞!!
