CANES AND BASHING

Hey guys this week was so much fun. But next week will be a treat haha. Just you wait. Anyways how was your week?? Email me, text me!! Let me know how youre doing!

Monday was a blast! We had District Pday which is always fun. We went to Amherst where we played pickleball an basketball! It honestly was so much fun. I think that was the day our district got pretty close with each other. We started telling each other things and started trusting each other. That is my favorite thing ever. Later that night we all went to Taco Bell and had a late night snack which was a party!

Tuesday was a lot of fun too!! We have this challenge that is called Spring Forward. It is to help us get motivated for the Spring and Summer months since Winter was pretty brutal. The challenege was a scavneger hunt which was so much fun!! After that we had dinner at the Richardson's and then had a lesson with our friend Brandon! He is one of the coolest friends we have found! He really wants to be baptized and wants to join the church before he leaves for the military!

Wednesday we drove to New Hampshire! Shhh don't tell anyone haha. Just kidding we got permission to go but not to stay an extra hour. We went to go get a car inspection which took 15 minutes so we made a decision to stay. It was so worth it though because we got to go to Canes, to get the best food ever! We also met up with some other missionaries which was a blast! As we drove home we watched and I listened to a church movie that was playing. We also talked the whole time during the movie so I'm going to have to watch it all over again! We honestly were so tired after getting home, but we got invited to do Yoga that night with the Young Women so we went! It was kind of embarrassing haha. We had people of all ages doing it, and it was funny watching them. I felt like I was hurting myself more then stretching, but the instructor told me I was doing great so I'm going to take that as a win haha!

Thursday I did exchanges with my old comp and let me tell you something, I was not excited. I honestly was scared out of my MIND!!! When we got there, I told Sister Pieroni that we should just get back in the car to leave and she just laughed at me haha. I might've been a little over dramatic (like I always am) but I was nervous. Anyways we had a pretty alright day. It was pretty awkward for the most part but the miracles that came were amazing. We were teaching our friend Gary the Restoration and the Word of Wisdom (since he walked in with a coffee in his hand) and we told him he wouldn't be able to drink that if he wanted to get baptized. As soon as I said that he stood up dumped his coffee out and said "I'm done. If God doesn't want me to drink it, then I'm not going to." Honestly I needed that faith right there haha. The next lesson we had went off the rails. He started to kind of bash us. I have never been put in that situation before but it all started with Adam and Eve and didn't stop until Sister Grgich ended it. I just want to let you guys know that it wasn't me bashing with him haha.

Friday was District Council!!! It was so much fun seeing the Elders and being with other missionaries again! They are always so much fun! After District Council we went to Wendys for lunch. We all just sat and talked and planned our next District Pday together which was going to be so much fun. (Since this email is late, you'll get another one in the morning about why it was "fun" but fun haha)

Saturday we helped a member clean her house all day!! Like ALL DAY!!! It was a lot and she had told us that it had been a year and a half since shes really tried to clean it. I am grateful for my clean house and I'm sorry mom that I am messy. We also did a lot of organizing which was nice. I hope when I have my own house, that I can keep it clean! (Let's hope at least haha).

Sunday we did the same thing haha. We went to church had so many friends show up and guys guess what.... We put another friend on date for baptism!!! His name is Yvenson and he is so cool. We can't wait for him to be baptized and I'm so happy for him. He is always so kind to us and caring. Oh and I forgot to mention that he only speaks French. I guess he speaks a little bit of English but mostly French so it is so much fun trying to communicate with them!

ANYWAYS....

Be grateful for everything, follow the first prompting, pay attention to the little things, pray always, and remember HE loves you and remember to love each other!!
