Week 28

Hi everyone! We had transfers this week and I'm with Sister Brown! She was in our zone and I'd been on a few exchanges with her so she's in some of my pictures. Her companion went home this past transfer, so she was in a trio with Sister Miller and I on Tuesday/Wednesday. We went to transfers together and then became companions which was hilarious. I love her so much!! I'm so excited to be with her!

A lot of our friends have stopped progressing recently, so it kind of feels like we're building a new teaching pool. We had a few lessons with some old friends and met a lot of new people! Butttt today we had a lesson with Cricket and she's on date for December 15th!! This time it'll go through, you need not fear.

I love our wards so much and am excited for the member work we're going to do this transfer! Sister Brown goes home in December which means I'll be staying here for 6 months lol. I love it though so no complaints.

I've had the worst cold of my life so I literally sound like batman. Not to be gross but the amount of mucus in my sinuses is unreal. Stay tuned.

I'm reading in Mosiah right now and it's awesome. I love chapters 3 and 4 with an emphasis on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. But my spiritual thought is actually going to be about gratitude because THANKSGIVING. Something we talked a lot about in church yesterday was how it's easy to be prideful when we aren't grateful. We read all throughout the scriptures about how when the people are grateful and turn to God they are humbled. I've reflected a lot on this and have such a strong testimony of gratitude!! We have everything to be grateful for! My invite to everyone is to say a prayer every morning that is only filled with gratitude!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!! I'm grateful for all of you

Surprise it's Wednesday. Our pday was switched because we got to go to the temple today!! I miss being able to go to the temple whenever. We're assigned a day every other transfer. This week was one of my favorites so far. The hard parts made it even better which I'll talk more about later. I went on an exchange with Sister Thomas (the new Sister in our zone) and it was awesome! Two little missionaries hanging out all day. She goes home the same transfer as me because I'm assigned 13 so we're in this thing together. We had zone conference and San Clemente had interviews with President/Sister Carter, so I got to see them a lot! Have I mentioned they're the greatest? Wow okay Sunday!! This sounds dramatic but it could've been my favorite day on the mission so far. We had a lesson with a marine named Wetterman on Saturday (which he brought his friend Williamson to) and they both showed up to church the next day! Braden, a marine we taught two weeks ago, also sh...

Hiiii everyone! I love my mission. Update on Cricket is that she's been quite unresponsive what?! Homecoming was this past week and let me tell you the high schools here go ALL OUT for everything- especially dances. So she was really living up the homecoming week, attended a few youth activites (which we didn't know about until after the fact), and therefore did not meet with us. She still wants to get baptized on the 28th which is the funny thing. We were like okay Cricket, in order for you to be prepared for your baptism we need to have at least 5 more lessons because we have so much to teach still. She got the memo but then didn't get the memo and we didn't have a single lesson. In conclusion, baptism is happening but probably getting pushed back which is still a win. Luisa is my favorite. I love her so much. She loves the gospel of Jesus Christ! She's been an amazing example to me of being eager to learn more. We send her lots of chapters/general conference talk...
