✨️🙏MIRACLE WEEK✨️🙏 Inbox

Monday:P-Day!! Today was okay we didnt do too much. We drove an hour to take Sister Thaele to the doctor and then it felt like we were there forever but things were figured out and she has some gall bladder problems so keep her in your prayers! Fast forward towards the end of the day all of us got together at the church and I taught everyone how to play 21 ahha so shoutout to my brother Brigham for teaching me that lol. We had a lot of fun playing that and then we all talked to fam and that was p-day. Once p-day ended we had back to back lessons the rest of the day and calls and one of the calls we made was to this friend that kept texting us about how he wants to be baptised so of course we called and we put him on date!!! Tuesday: VERY VERY BLESSED DAY! Zone Conference + Exchanges!! Okay first off Zone conference was so so good and man was the SPIRIT SOOOO STRONG. We talked about baptism a

lot and I'm so glad we did because man it needed to be talked about. Anyways we went on exchanges and I stayed in my area with Sister Bohme which is actually pronounced like bayme which dosent make sense but hey thats okay! We ended up inviting 4 people to be baptized and they all said yess!!! And we also networked through it all and man it was so freaking cool! The fun thing from the zone conference was they were celebrating May birthdays which is really weird to think it may be and almost my birthday which is wild like 20 who? Anywho, I have a birthday twin! Shoutout to Elder Loftus also zone leader but we have the same birthday but hes just 7 seconds older then me gosh dang it. Wednesday: Woke up sick today which I was not happy about. I ended up making sweet potato fries in the morning for later which was a genius idea because man did those hit the spot lol. The rest of the day was lots of calls and lessons. It was so good but man was I so tired. Also being sick on the mission is the worst tehe! Thursday: Biking Day Yayyyy!!! We biked all day and it made me so freaking happy, even though I was sick it was so nice to be out in the fresh air and to just be out and about! We had a lot of fun with it all and it was interesting to see how the day would go because we had back to back lessons all day but we made it through and we made it work + It was a super nice day which is AWESOME! We overall had some really good lessons and invited more people to be baptized! Miracle to me I think was we were talking to this interested friend and in my head im like baptism bring up baptism, I didn't really know how to so I had the lady read a scripture and she goes funny that you had me read this because I actually really want to be baptized and so we put her on date and I was just soo happy! Anyways today was a blessed day!! Friday: Today was just a weird day, lots of our lessons fell through but also lots of the lessons went through. That's really all I have for today, not too much but I sure was in the cooking mood today lol. When we came home for dinner I made us homemade macaroni and cheese which turned out soooooooo freaking good like wow! Also update with Menards, we went there today to get something and lots of our friends that worked there asked where we have been and we told them that we got kicked out and they were so shocked!! But yeah that's today. Also we found this funny looking car and it was hilarious! We also ended up helping someone move which was chaotic and i was scared what i was going to find. Saturday: So I totally slept in a lot today because my body was just like no you need sleep so I said okay lol. During breakfast I was about to make a good glass of chocolate milk but then when I went to pour the milk it came out so chunky almost like it was expired but it wasn't, it smelled fine but because our fridge is dumb it froze my milk i was like gosh freaking dang it. Lots of our lessons fell through today which was unfortunate but we did go to one of the elders' baptisms which is actually a really funny story. So what happened was that this man is super tall and very sturdy and so the person baptising him was having trouble getting him under the water after 3 tries they got it!! Anyways fast forward towards the end I was asked to give the closing prayer and I thought his name was Toney and so I said his name a couple times in the prayer and then when I sat down the missionaries were looking at me weird, im like what they were like his name is Roy I was like oop. When I went over to apologize we all just laughed about it. Thank goodness Roy is chill but now every time I talk with him I purposely say the wrong name just because it's a joke now. We then met with a new member and she has 10 cats and is getting more, I was very amazed. Once we got home I did Sister Thaeles hair and I was amazed how it turned out! Sunday: Today Is a little hard to explain so bare with me lol. Church today was good and we had lots of good talks about faith which I absolutely love! Anyways fast forward towards the end of the day we met with our friend John who is getting baptized next sunday which is crazy because I've only met him twice but he was being taught not too long ago and was supposed to be baptized a week before me coming here but anyways we got approval from president so this is one of the fastest baptisms ive been part of lol. Anyways there was this lady who prayed with us and then the Elders invited her to meet with us again and shes like well ill be at Johns baptism and they were like can we meet before then anyways an hour of talking we ended up setting up a scripture study and a picnic situation and she assigned us all to bring something and it was hilarious. Again a lot easier to explain not through email 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🫶💞!! Here are some pictures since my google photos doesn't want to work!

🌷Happy Easter Week🌷

Monday:P-Day!! Today was okay. We didn't really do too much. We did all our errands and cleaned🧼🧹 the heck out of this apartment and it's still NASTY!! Anyways we ended up meeting with the elders and played some chair soccer ⚽️where then one of the Elders got hurt, big RIP especially because he was the one wanting to play it. We then made Puff Puffs which is basically a donut. The rest of the day we had lessons which were good! +This week I've decided to work on patience and loving my companion more and I guess you will see how that goes as we go throughout the week. Tuesday: Man what a day! So today we helped our friend Rorri that isn't even being taught move houses 🚚📦aka move a house into a storage unit. We ended up doing this from 10:30am-4:30pm which we're not supposed to really do more then 2 hours of service but hey we had the zone leaders there and so its finnnnne right🤔? Anyways we had lots of fun during it all and goofed around a little too much maybe. We got done with that and we were all so so exhausted because man it was a lot. I'm going to be starting up physical therapy soon for my back again which is yay but also uggggg, can i not just get a new back lol jkjk. It was overall a good day though +Update: Today was pretty good with working on patience and love. More because I was also distracted the whole day. Wednesday: District Council!! Today's weather was AMAZING and sooo BEAUTIFUL!! Before we left the house we packed up all our food from the fridge to take to the church with us because every week we have to unplug our fridge or else it freezes everything and its also land lords orders so that's fun🤣! After a good meeting we had lots of lessons which were super fun and it was just going good. We had a lesson with this member that hasn't been to church in like 50 years and when we went over HOLY COW🫨 she had soooo much stuff!! She buys A LOT of toys and things and just piles everything up and it's like ahhh, she also has a lot of creepy dolls🧸. +Update: Today was okay I started losing love and patience but you know a couple deep breaths and turning up the music will do the trick! Right? Thursday: #House Shopping day🏘! So before we get into the title of this day, we had weekly planning and we did it at Dunkin and one of the workers kept offering us coffee and tea and we kept explaining how we don't drink that and so then he said he would get us hot chocolate, well that never happened which is okay lol🥤. After we got done with weekly planning which was kinda hard because my companion doesnt really communicate with me on what she's doing and so it's constantly over and over the same thing. Anyways we met up with the relater and Elder Nobel and we went and looked at a few places and they were not so good, we all came to an agreement on that which was funny😥. So basically it was a flop but stay tuned for another day who knows! The rest of the day we BIKED, YAYYY🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️!!! I love biking but my companion HATES it which is so sad. I pushed her a lot today because she would get down on herself but she was doing AMAZING anyways we biked for a little more then 7 hours and that first hour I was biking the whole time standing up which MANNN does that burn but I got my bike seat fixed so that's good! +Update: Okay today was good because we were out and about on bikes and everything was going swell besides this morning but the bike cured it all! Friday: Day 2 of almost biking all day! First off like I said earlier I lovvvve biking. I wish I could just keep doing it but nope. Anyways we got going with the day and we were riding our bikes to krispy kreme and we were so close and then Sister Thaele fell which is no good. We ended up going somewhere a little closer because she didn't want to bike anymore. We did some calls and then we went home because she was done with biking and kept just repeating how she doesn't like it. We ended up driving the rest of the day BIG RIP. Anyways throughout the day there was tension but I tried to lift up the mood but everything I said it just made her annoyed at me. We were then in a lesson when she wrote me a letter on how she's not a good companion and how she thinks I hate her which I was like dang well that makes me a worse companion. Anyways I then found a note on her phone that was saying how she doesn't know how to talk to me which then I felt even worse, im like am i really that bad of a person? It was a rough day.

+Update: Patience and love has somehow left for a vacation I guess. Saturday: Easter Party + Call with President! First off call with president was super good and helped me just be in a better mood. And shocking things were talked about and he related lots of it to MARRIAGE💍!!! I didnt actually say this but in my head im like do you want me to go home ahha? And also where are the cameras🎥 ahah. Anywho, the Easter party was so so fun! It was for the community and it was a big easter egg hunt 🐰and so we got to hide the easter eggs! We did this from 10am-4:30 and man was I having so much fun, we also got food out of it which is nice! We then had choir practice with mama Omalara and man was that funny. The rest of the day was calls and Actually a Miracle!! We went to the subway and were doing calls and I was talking to this person and he said no to baptism at first and then we kept talking and I asked again and he said you know what yeah and so we set a date and then right after we got a free cookie 🍪 from subway, God is good! +Update: Lots of tension pretty much in our companionship even when I try to fix it, its like nope! Sunday: Happy Easter🌷🌷🌷!!! Hope everyone had a good Easter Sunday, I know I sure did! I absolutely LOVE Jesus Christ Atonement and really just reflecting and thinking about it just always puts me in aww and it was just so fun to really celebrate Easter this year just having that on my mind the whole time. Anyways church was good and everything we had lots and lots of friends came and we sang in sacrament and it was so so funny. The best was the whole ward clapping for us as we finished lol i loved it! Once church ended we had so many lessons and calls the rest of the day which some turned into putting more people on date which is sooo good!! As we were getting almost done with the night I think Sister Thaele is done, she constantly brings up transfers and it's like hey like lets focus on the work and focus on these friends and then it goes silent so that's great! +Update: Today was okay, being at church helped a lot but then towards the end of the day patience and everything checked out again. 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🫶💞!! Here are some pictures since my google photos doesn't want to work!

An okay week ngl!🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Monday:P-Day!! What a day, lol. Today we did SOOO MUCH DRIVING. We drove an hour south to go get a water filter because we were sick or buying water constantly. We ended up spending a while there just chatting it up with the senior couples and so that was fun and I also got an easter package from my mom so that made me happy!! We then met up with the elders and we kept driving back and forth between places because no one could decide what to do. We ended up at the church and we played chair soccer and had banana rootbeer floats, it wasn't bad but definitely different. Once p-day ended it was just calls after calls💀. Tuesday: Super weird day and more driving and you'll never guess what we did next 🥁🥁🥁🥁CALLS, wow I know shocker. Anyways we had a call with one of my facebook friends and as we are stating our purpose he's like hold up that kinda like my purpose, im trying to convert y'all to my church. Ahha, it was really funny! We had some good lessons today and did a lesson with the resurrection eggs my ma sent me and that was fun! The rest of the day was okay. Throughout the day Sister Thaele would just keep snapping at me to get my attention, I was like absolutely not. We moved on and went on with our calls. Wednesday: District Council! I ended up getting assigned to do a training at the last minute and so I had to hurry and make something up this morning but it ended up being pretty good so Hallelujah to that! The rest of the day was called People. Thursday: Today was just like the other days, lots of calls and lessons. While we were doing calls at McDonald's there was a person getting arrested in the parking lot, we were like oop. We had a lesson with one of our friends and she kept falling asleep and she's like I'm sorry, sister robins you just have such a calming voice when you teach. I was like I DO?? Well that's a shocker, never heard that before ahha. Friday: The day that I DID NOT WANT to happen, HAPPENED, NOOOOOL!!! So this whole week we have been working out as a district and so when i went to unroll the yoga mat this morning what comes flying out, yep a CENTIPEDE!!!!! I screamed sooo loud. After that I was done, the elders were laughing at Sister Thaele and I. We ended up just covering it with a container until later in the day when we came back to our apt and we took it outside and right when we were going to let it go a big woosh of wind came in and took it away, it freaked us out so much! That was the day for you, I'll let you guess what we did the whole day. Saturday: Had lots and lots of lessons this morning that all went well but then Sister Thaele wasn't feeling well so she rested and I just went hard on phone work. The whole day was sooo nice like the weather was perfect. Fast forward to the end of the night we had a super funny lesson/talk with our friend Xavier! Before we could even get into a lesson he just started asking us soo many questions about ourselves because hes like if we are going to talk i need yall to NOT be robots lol. It was super fun! After that lesson that was pretty much the day. We were able to throw in a little of Jesus Christ Atonement so hey at least we taught something out of all of that! Sunday: Such a fun Sunday!!! Today was a fast and testimony meeting which was fun because lots of the people that got up would sing their testimonies, i was like okay ahah this is fun! After church we had some calls here and there and then we had to get dressed in African clothing because we were eating at a members house # Mama Omolara! And man that was so fun, she invited lots of the missionaries and we just talked and ate sooo much food. She then gave us all African names and mine is Oluwafumilayo… which means God give me Joy! We then sang songs and she ended up signing us all up to have a musical number on Sunday so that will be interesting ahah! 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🫶💞!! No pictures this week because I kinda forgot to take pictures and not videos

Fun roller-coaster of things + 8 Months!!

Monday:P-Day!! First P-day in Hyde Park!!! Alrighty today was a day for sure. We went to Walmart to get groceries and we had to get A TON of things because this was the week where we ran out of quiet literally EVERYTHING tehe. Anyways we go to checkout and its a hefty amount of money and when we went to pay Sister Thaele didn't have her card I was like uhhhhhhhhhh not really knowing what to do, I ended up buying all the things and then when we got home she was like oops I had the card the whole time💀🪦. That kinda didn't make me happy but oh well we moved along. The rest of p-day we went and hung out with the district and played card games🃏! It was super fun, we played nertz and I destroyed💪 but the district did catch on so it was still super fun! That was p-day, the rest of the night was calls and talking to some amazing people! Tuesday: Today was lots of driving🚗 and a lot of phone calls☎️. Update on our friend Akeyia, we lost all forms of contacting her which was really sad ngl🥲, keep her in your prayers please!. The rest of the day was a ton of stop bys and then we visited the Hill family and they are so cute at the end of the lesson we were taught how to dance and man that was not pretty ahha👯‍♀️.Today was the first day that we were told to leave Menards, they told us we weren't supposed to be contacting people. We were a little confused because this has never happened so we just left and gave Menards a break for the day🫨. We then had an interesting conversation over the phone with this man and he kept calling me baby girl and love and I was like ummmm sir let's not, Sister Thaele and I were laughing the whole time though because it was just so funny. STORY TIME📖: When we were knocking doors we came to this house and I opened the screen door and when I knocked on the door it started opening and it was super dark but it looked like there was a person right there, I did NOT knock again and we dipped because my heart dropped sooooo fast😨.

Wednesday: Super fun day! First off time goes by sooo fast! 1 year ago I went through the temple and received my endowment which is crazy that it was a year ago!! Anyways we had a District Council which was good, we were all very joyful while accounting and that's always fun😁😁. We then went and got Panda all together and man did that hit. And can I just say how fun it is to have sisters in the district like we can finally do things with other sisters, yayy! Shoutout to Sister Moon and Sister Peterson they are the best🫶! The rest of the day was quite literally back to back lessons, I love it!!! Thursday: Interviews with President + 21 lessons + WHATTTT! First off interviews with president, we had our interviews at 8:30 in the morning and I thought they were at the church building that is only 15 min away because thats what I was told but NOPE, when we were leaving Sister Thaele tells me that its at the Hyde park building thats 40 min away becasue of traffic and im like welp there goes my interview with president🤦‍♀️, When we got to the church I had another 5 minute interview which was fine but it's like why does this always happen to me. But what I don't understand is that my last few interviews were about marriage💍 and im like what the heck like its not even me bringing this up and my president just keeps bringing everything back to marriage im like thats wack ahah. The rest of the day was super busy, we had back to back lessons from quite literally the start of the day all the way until the end of the night🫨😱, it was a blast to be busy because you constantly are on a go go go. Finally we ended the night at Menards and after contacting so many amazing people a manager comes up to us and he tells us so im not kicking yall out but ill need you to bring it down to a zero and leave we were like oh ummm. He's like I love God like my name is Jesus but we can't have you be doing this here🤦‍♀️. And that was the last day in menards for us rip. Friday: Not a whole lot to talk about. We had a lot of lessons but 2 out of the 18 went through rip. Saturday: 8 MONTHS OF BEING A MISSIONARY!! + General Conference + Awesome surprise!! Okay so today we went to Krispy Kreme to get donuts🍩 for our own little watch party and when we walk in, who's there? JESSICA DANSIE IS!!!!! It was sooo good seeing her, it's been so long seeing friends from home and so it made me really happy to see her🫂. After chit chattering for a bit we all left but of course I had to take pictures with the donuts for my 8 months which is wild📸🎉! We then watched general conference in our beds and WOW is general conference AMAZING!! If you didn't watch it, GO WATCH IT! And basically that's all that happened the rest of the day was just watching General Conference! We did watch the last two sessions with the Sutariks which the whole time I was trying to figure out if they were married or Mother and son, how they talked to each other it was really confusing🫢🤔. Sunday: General Conference Pt.2! We watched the first part of conference at the church with lots of other missionaries which was super fun, i love being around other missionaries! We then had a surprise pass off lesson afterwards which was good but man did the girl have like every question you could think off, she was super cute and so we told to her to ask God for the answers to her questions because us telling her all the answers wasn't going to do anything for her so this is everyone's reminder to PRAY!! We then watched the last session at the Swensons who are super sweet, we had some good food with them and a good talk afterwards. It was fun because I had guessed 15 temples to be announced and I guessed right, lets gooo!! Anyways the rest of the day was just chaos because our sim card stopped working and was only working on one of the phones but with certain things, big rip. Sounds like tomorrow's problem. 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🫶💞!!
