Hope you are all having an amazing time with whatever you are doing! Just remember God loves ❤️ you and so do I😁!! Also drop your addresses so I can try and send a card to y'all! 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 Also please ignore the title of this email, I had no idea what to call it. Monday: P-Day!! Wow, time is flying! Okay dokey today was chill. We did our grocery shopping and everything super fast because we were meeting up with the district at the church to play games. Instead of always going out for food I suggested we do a picnic and it turned out well! We then all kinda did our own thing but it was super fun because cute Sister Hansen aka my last, last companion she is in our district and so we chatted it up with everything that's going on and that was nice and especially nice to hear all of the friends in Hyde Park are doing good! Sister Barrett and I played a round of California speed and we only played one round because that one round took us almost an hour hahaha but it was so fun! After that I talked with my family and it's soooooo weird to start planning things for when I come home like AHHHH! Once p-day ended it was calls, calls and some more calls🤣. Tuesday: So not sure actually what happened today…….. sike just kidding you got pranked ahha! Today was the best day! I woke up to a text from my AMAZING Trainer #Sister Hoggard well I guess Anna now but anyways she sent me my QUOTEBOOK!!! She was able to retrieve it back and oh my goodness was I happy. They day then flew by and it's like hey wait a minute (Literally WILD). Anyways because time was flying by ridiculously fast we were very not timely today with things but we had joy and we did what we could. After more stop bys and more phone work I got one of the best and funniest emails ever! One of my good pals Brother Karen from back home sent me an email about how he is related to Benson Boone!!! Note that Benson is one of my go to artists but it was just soo cool! The rest of the day was chill and we went to a blood drive at the church and man did that make me miss my Phlebotomy days! Wednesday: District Council!! 15 MONTHS!!! WOW, WOW AND WOW! As a district we had such a joyous time, as Elder Gartin would say. After lots of laughs and lots of food we all went separate ways and got to work! We had an amazing lesson with Gabriel, he is soo soo freaking elect like what the heck! We went to Walmart to talk to people and also bumped into the sr. Sisters, it was so fun. We obviously did some more missionary work because the grind never ends! As we were doing lots of cool things I got a notification that I got MY PLAN!!! So basically what this is, is it's a thing that you get as a missionary when you are approaching your last transfer and it was literally wild. I was freaking out but not, just lowkey weird…. That was pretty much the day and when we came home I made some DELICIOUS tofu pancakes! Thursday: Another Joyful day! Woke up and made some also DELICIOUS bran muffins! Literally shoutout to my ma, she is like the best cook I know! It's been really nice cooking and baking. It's helped me find joy throughout the day so that makes me obviously happy! Fast forward into the day now, we met with this ADORABLE family and one of the kids is obsessed with this Chuky doll and I lowkey feel bad for the mom because that thing is just disturbing and it's the size of the girl too…. After that fun lesson though with the family, we went home because Sister Moyes wasn't feeling too well. But after a few hours we went back to work and found so many new friends and then had institute and that's always a party! And that's really that! Friday: This morning for personal study I have been studying my patriarchal blessing which is a guidance from God, kinda like a compass but made directly for you and for your life , it's pretty cool! If you are a member you should make sure you have it and if you aren't a member, please reach out to me, tehe! Anyways I've just really been enjoying studying that! After we went out for the day we had companion study and studied the talk that I have linked at the bottom and we really enjoyed it. The question to go with it, is what kind of Sister or Brother do you want to be? After comp study we had our mentor session with #Brother Snow!! He's cool and we always have a good time with him. The rest of the day consisted of….. I'll let you take a good guess……. If you guessed stop bys, street contacting and calls, ding ding ding you got it right!!! That's exactly what we did the rest of the night ahahh. Saturday: Holy Moly macaroni and cheese… today was chaotic. The morning started off fine, not a whole lot happened until we went and visited Odit and oh my goodness she is just so so cute and soo strong! We had some members join and we were talking about the word of wisdom, which is No Coffee, No Alcohol, No Tea and No Tobacco and finally No street drugs. And when we introduced this to her she wasn't fully living it but three days later she told us “ oh that stuff, yeah no I threw that all away.” We were like WHATTTTT OHH MY GOSH!!! Odit is just wow, amazing! We then met with the amazing family again and had a blast with them and we thought we had figured out a ride for them for church but as soon as we leave their house our members canceled on us, we were like ahhhh and so we were figuring that out while also doing a million other things and it was soo stressful and I almost broke down but im surprised I didn't. But we made it through and tomorrow is a new day! Ohh but the cool thing was that the Assistants to the President sent us a super cool friend who is progressing towards the 22nd!!! Keep John in your prayers! Sunday: SNOW DAY!!!!! I woke up soo freaking happy! I looked out the window and saw fresh snow and that just made my day! We went to church and everyone was asking me where my coat was and all these layers and I just giggled because I didn't think it was that cold ahah. But anyway church was good, Sister Moyes sang in church and did a great job and then the rest of the day was chill and we had a member meal with the Bradys and we were just having the time of our lives! That was pretty much the whole day, I won't bore you with all the details that you have heard plenty of times by now. But as we were coming home it was snowing more!!! Yay for snow! Do you like the snow!? 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🫶💞!!
