Cheers To Salmonella

First of all I DO NOT have salmonella... yet 
But we definitely ate a bunch of cookie dough on new years eve and I definitely manhandled a lizard 


ANYWAY.... just some things that happened this past week and a half-- first, last Saturday (the 28th) all the sisters in my district (4) had a sleepover with the STLs in Albany cuz long story short, our district leader and his comp both had a horrible feeling all day and felt that we weren't safe and that we shouldn't go back to our apartments. It was awesome. But yeah so we didn't stick around to find out why it was unsafe. Our whole district and zone leader sat at the church for like 2 HOURS trying to figure everything out. Finally president said to our whole district, just not to go back home tonight. Spooky, lol. So the elders had a sleepover too with the zone leader. It was a party, definently did not sleep at all 


But yeah other than that the week started off really slow, and we have had no success in B-ville, especially on new year's day. I've never gotten a door slammed in my face, I just get very passive aggressive people basically telling me I'm dumb and they hate us, so that's good. 
But yeah so by Thursday I was really discouraged cuz literally everyone knows the missionaries and no one wants to hear our message! Its so sad! I mean, it's no biggie, only their ETERNAL SALVATION. So Thursday night we went in and said a prayer cuz we were both just like ughghhhh, and I had a small promoting to go to Lebanon, so we did! And we met this golden gal named Maggie and she was so so kind to us!! And she talked to us fir a long time about God and how her nephew is a member. So we brought up the Book of Mormon, and she was like, " oh yeah well you cant have the bible without the BOM, like how you cant have the old testament without the new one." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maggie do you want to get baptized?????? Anyway, it was just really cool. She said we could come back and share a message with her, so stay tuned! Prayers for Maggie
Rob is doing good. We met with him on tuesday and he said he prayed about joseph smith and didn't get an answer. It wasn't a test but it wasn't a no either. So keep praying for Rob. We also had sushi with him and his family on Saturday, and it was... adventurous. I ate octopus


I also saw a hippie bus and it was AWESOME!!! It was just in one of the parking lots in town and it had like curtains and a sink and flowers, I'm here for it


We also had some SUNSHINE 
(🎶 Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why you had to hide away for so long-- sooo looooongggg🎶) 


Also, Brownsville has a legit saloon and we saw a huge biker gang of like 16 motorcycles there, so check that off the bucket list 


TRANSFERS! I'm staying, but sister Goold is leaving me, but shes not going too far, shes actually going to be my sister training leader, so I'll see her at least twice this transfer ❤ 
 Anyway, that's all I think. Love you!

Haha yeah I'm getting a little stir-crazy...  And its raining........ Things have been good tho. We started teaching a new lil honey, almost put them on date, and could possibly drop them today, And We have virtual lessons with members every night which cures my depression I love the members here ❤  Not much else has been happening... Ashley is AMAZING and progressing so well!! She just eats up everything we teach her, and is SO excited! I love her, shes also pretty hilarious.  Nothing can stop the work of God!!!  We were supposed to get transfer calls last night.... but that never happened. Idk what's going on... ever, it's fine. I could get yeeted outta B-ville on thursday or I could stay for 2 more months. Or all the missionaries will get sent home. Idk man. We're just all chillin in our apartments doing puzzles 'n stuff.  I have a lot of time to draw tho so that's been nice. (Pics below)  We also spend a lot of time trying to find new people through Fac...

ONE YEAR???????

Image
Well, folks, we made it -- ONE YEAR!!! Honestly never thought it would happen, but God is so good, and He loves us too much to let us fail.  The work is going well, we found out one of the less-active members we're working with may not be a member at all! He cant remember if he actually ever was baptized. So that's kinda exciting, in a weird way. Probably not something I should be excited about  Thoughts: I think sending sis Mecham home was a real eye-opener for me, and kind of a reality check. Like missions don't last forever. Going into a church and having everyone instantly love me because of a tag, will eventually end. And even at Walmart we get stopped every time by people who want to talk to us and thank us for our service -- members and non-members! I'm gonna miss that.  Also, training is wack. Ive never been so aware of my weaknesses. also My child is a bit of a rebel, so I think the Lord is giving me a taste of my own medicine! Lol. BUT I FREAKING LOVE HERA. Sh...
