Week 64: run it back

y'all. the era has not ended. Elder Smith and I will be together another 6 weeks. So that'll be a blast... But... on to the weekly recap!

Absolutely destroyed it with MPLs this week (member participating lessons). We got 7 which is literally the most I've ever had on my mission, so that was crazy. We've had a lot of really awesome lessons with promising friends, and now we're just trying to get them to come to Church!

Jazzy, Janet, and Tony continue to progress well. All three of them were at Church yesterday which was super cool. We went to youth activities with Jazzy on Wednesday which was with 3 wards, and Elder Bednar's grandkids were there, and we talked with them for a second. That was kind of fun and crazy. 

We got a brand new car lol. After our brand new blue chevy equinox was rear ended in the middle of the night in the parking lot last transfer with 400 miles on it, we finally brought it into the shop to get fixed. Our vehicle coordinator showed up and said that your never getting it back and handed us the keys to our brand new white Chevy equinox with 60 miles on it. So that's been fun.

Transfers happened. Nothing changed here, so it was another day spent proslyting. We live next to a companionship of Sisters and a companionship of Hermanas, and we welcomed the new ones with chalk to the area, but other than that, it was an all day grind. 

We joined someone's family. Basically we knock into a home and a lady comes out and says "well it's been a bit since y'all have showed up!" She then proceeded to tell us that we didn't have the answer to one of her questions (what happened to Joseph, Jesus's earthly father figure?). Not sure why that question mattered, but she claimed it did, so we attempted to answer it (and failed lol). She and her husband then let us into their home where we had a conversation about their beliefs (Catholic) and our beliefs. It was pretty cool and interesting. They finished the conversation by asking us to put a thumb print on their wall so they could remember us. Lol see pics. It was a vibe.

But other than that, this week was a vibe. We just enjoyed the ride. But I guess I'll talk to y'all next week. ttfn!

Week 53: Into Year Two We Go

  Ohhh my goodness. Thank GOODness it's P-day. Literally haven't had a p-day in 3 weeks.   2 weeks ago was moving day in Corbin, Last week we had a shortened p-day (see below) and finally we have today! Hallelujah! I'm about to take an all day p-day rather than cutting it off at 6. Lol, I'm kidding. I'm not that apostate. Anyways, this was a good week! Definitely felt it towards the end, but good nonetheless! We put two friends on date for baptism 🎊🥳🎊!!! Tuesday, we had a call with a new friend, and taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She expressed a lot of desire to be baptized and we talked about how as missionaries, you know, that's what we do. We taught her particularly about the gift of the Holy Ghost. She readily accepted to be baptized on July 1st! Later in the week we taught her the Restoration, and her response to the First Vision was so powerful. She simply said, "Wow!" and you could tell she knew it was true! We'll continue to work...

Week 24: Oh...uh (subtle laugh)...I don't believe in the mormons...

Happy Happy Halloween! First of all, the next person to call me a quote on quote "Mormon", is not going to have a happy halloween...lol, but sorry. Tbh, the term mormon sounds like an insult...I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, plz, thank you, next. Basically the way this conversation went was we had a super awesome lesson over the phone with this lady a couple weeks ago, and she said that she would like to come to church with us sometime. Well, we basically get blocked by her. We go over to her apartment, and we unblocked ourselves from her phone (literally lol) because we didn't think she blocked us on purpose, and we didn't really think she knew how to use her phone very well. Anyways. We set up another phone lesson and we're blocked again. 2 weeks go by and we stop by her apartment and she said that today she was pretty busy and couldn't talk. SO...we naturally ask when would be a better time, and she said "Oh, I don't re...

Week 22: Some umm... spooky szn I guess

  Welcome back y'all! It is officially sweater weather! Fun fact: the missionary department deems "hastags" apostate and filters out any email with a hashtag in the subject line sent to us. Mom and I found this out the hard way as she sent over the blog a couple of weeks ago with a hastag in the subject line. So I guess I won't say #sweaterweather or #spookyszn in my email. Oops, I just did. *yikes!* So hopefully, you know, this email will go through with my sinful use of #. (As what could be a greater sin than this?) Moving on from that, this week was pretty busy. Lots of cool lessons and member visits. We had a young adult member move in to our branch, who we've been working with over the phone the last month or so. For a variety of reasons he couldn't come to Church for a bit, because of his situation. But he came last weekend, and this weekend he totally just brought a friend with him to Church. Like what?!? That certainly makes missionary work easy, when ...
