Alone

Monday: P-Day!! To start us off I called my mom in the morning and she flips the camera around and BOOM💥 my dads in town ahah it was really funny because first I wasn't expecting that and I also laughed because my brothers had just gotten back from visiting him and so I was like haha yall just got pranked. Anyways after lots of chitchat we went to the library to try and figure out my photos because I'm only 7 months into the mission and my google photos storage is VERY full 😬so if you have any tips on that let me know! We then went to the Albanese factory again for some gifts and pretty much the worker there and I are besties and then next time we see him we are going to start teaching him, just you wait. After that we did some more shopping at the mall 🛍lol oops and then P-day was over and we had to get back to work and this week we set a high finding goal and we found 2 AMAZING souls by the end of the night, what a good way to start off the week. Tuesday: First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINCOLN & THERESA🎂🥳🎉!! Shoutout to my brother and sister for getting older ahah🤣. Today was the start of an all week zone conference which we have never done before but basically it's a missionary meeting to help us and so everyday we will zoom in besides the day we are supposed to meet in person. Today was really fun because we got together as a district and we had our friend Brett come because we were told to invite someone that we could do roleplays with and it went well and we were all just having a good time! Once that was over we got going with our day and of course we went to🍦 Dairy Queen and Sister Barnes got her new teeth!!! And she also figured out who's been stealing her mirrors yayy!! The rest of the day we were driving around like crazy heads and I was doing phone work while driving 🫢🤫 because sister surio is still not feeling well. But yeah basically what I said at the beginning of this email is what I started realizing a lot more especially today is that just our zone leadership unification is pretty trash. Wednesday:🫨 7 months of being a missionary! What a day, we had Zone conference pt.2 today which was super good! After that we did soooooo much driving🚗 which like ive been saying is a nightmare for me lol. But through all this driving we did find 2 amazing souls yayyy!! Had some lessons here and there, oym here and there and finally fast forward to the end of the night, STORY TIME📖! We went to a mcdonalds for the last hour and we started talking to this man because he had A TON of news papers and anyways we got talking and then he started going into to politics and we explained our purpose and what us missionaries do and so we got him to end that conversation so we went back to phone work and then he started talking to us again and this time it was politics and a history lesson we were like nooooo lol. He kept asking us if we knew what was going on in the world and then started relating things to Hitler and other history things and we were like we are so sorry but we better get going because we will turn into pumpkins🎃 if we aren't home at this time and so then we ran out of there haha and thats the story for ya! Thursday: Day 3 of Zone conference. Not going to lie I was very zoned out during this zone conference meeting, oops. After the meeting ended we went and dropped off all my letters📦 and gifts at the post office and I had a super funny conversation with the worker about jewelry and how she keeps buying some but her husband isn't happy about it lol. She told me she has 3 months of different necklace pendants. I was like dannnng. Once we got done there we did weekly planning as usual. The rest of the day was calls and oym and then we had a call with our zone leaders to kinda address the whole unification thing and pretty much it felt like my feelings were just pushed aside and that im the only one thats thinking this so that was great and by then I was just kinda done with the day and the week😑. Friday: In Person Zone Conference! Today was one of the best days this week. We had a good meeting and Sister Surio and I gave a roleplay/skit in front of the whole mission which was scary but we think it turned out well. The highlight of that was we got to use mini microphones🎤 tehe it was so fun, I'm going to buy one, one day lol. After zone conference ended us sisters went to this place called Thorntons, its pretty much Maverik but cheaper and while we are there we were putting flavors and cream in our sodas 🥤and this lady came up to us and was like I have fomo what are y'all doing? We told her how this is a big thing in Utah and how its really good and so she tried it and she LOVED it, it was really funny we ended up teaching her a few things and it was so fun after we all left we all took a picture together and shes like can I be in it and so we took another picture it was funny📸! We then drove an hour and a half back home and did lessons here and there. Finally at the end of the night, cherry on top situation, we had a lesson with the Temple Square sisters and they gave us and our friend Daniel & Brett a tour of the Conference building and man we learned so much… ⭐️1st thing is that there is one pillar in the whole conference building, ⭐️2 there are 21,000 seats, ⭐️3 there are a little over 7,708 organ pipes, WOW. Saturday: Very very long day + Day 1 of stake conference. We did service this morning which was fun, we mostly ended up playing yahtzee🎲. The rest of the day was slow and I also have just been very mentally drained and burnt out. Fast forward to the end of the night we had two of our friends come to stake conference and after it Daniel, our friend that has to wait a year until he is baptized, got a super powerful priesthood blessing and man was it good! I love priesthood blessings so much they are just so powerful. I sure do miss having my brother around to do them for me because it's just different when he does them I feel like. Anyways we didn't get home until 10 OOPS! When we got home I still needed to make 7 layer bars for dinner tomorrow and when I was about to make them I realized I had evaporated milk and not condensed milk and so the Sr. Sisters sent me a recipe on how to make condensed milk and so that's what I did the next morning. Sunday: Where to start with this lol. We had daylight savings and so we lost an hour and I got up early to make the 7 layer bars😴 and while I was making the condensed milk which took forever I had to also get ready because we had Stake Conference pt.2 anyways I got it all done and they turned out good but I never want to do that whole thing again ahah. At the stake conference they talked a lot about temples💒 which I miss going so much shoutout to Elle aka my temple buddie, miss you! One day I will be back at the temples! The rest of the day was calls, driving and then we had 7’s dinner with the sisters so we had 7 layer dip, 7 layer salad, and some other things… Finally our last call of the night was something. This person kept telling us that she is the Messiah and also Ruth 🤔and so many other things and she just kept telling us these crazy stories and Sister Surio and I were like mhm okay yeah for sure! Ahaha that was really the day for you! 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🫶💞!!
