Yo!! Its been pretty good this week, I'm still here so YAY Not much has changed, but there is so much potential here in B-ville! It's on the brink of... something! Idk I just feel like it's almost there.  Haha but we had some more sunshine this week which is good. We are working with a lot of less active members and I just LOVE them oh my goodness. I love watching people's hearts soften and I love watching God pull his children out of darkness. I'm grateful He let's me be a part of it! Cuz He doesn't need me, heck He can do whatever He wants! But Hes given us the opportunity to witness these miracles and to be a part of it, to watch and to learn and to grow and to love. It's really cool.  We also got yelled at this week, so that was awesome. We were having a lesson with a LA and her daughter stormed down the stairs and was like "hi can you please leave my house" (even tho it's her mom's house) and just railed on us, it was intense! Luck...

yeah so it hailed so obviously I had to do ^^ that' Hey all!  Its been a busy week. We dropped Janet cuz she said shes satisfied with the Bible and doesn't want to meet with us anymore. So that's sad but we still love her.  I dont have much time today so this is gonna be a short one. Anyway some highlights: ☆THE SUN ☆We found the B-ville graveyard, its dope  ☆ We watched some people's dogs, lol theres a funny story with that one-- basically one of the silly dogs booked it out the door when we came in, slipped through the fence, and ran off into the mountains, so that was really good. We only spent 5 hours looking for her... ☆ The senior couple in our district, the William's ❤❤, took us out to dinner!!! After they took me to a psychiatrist LOLOLOL. But the food was good, it was Chinese so obviously I loved it.  ☆We met this SUPER nice couple while tracting who invited us in and talked to us for over an hour, and asked a lot of sincere questions about the church and m...

Hey all! It's been a crazy week, to say the least. Lots of adjustments. My new comp is sister Cloward, and shes very chill so maybe I wont be such a spaz anymore but yeah I took over the area which has been kinda stressful cuz I dont know what the heck I'm doing but it's all good!  I also had an emo breakdown on Thursday and low key almost went home hahahahahahaha so that was really fun. But even tho things have been harder than ever, I have never had such a close relationship with my Heavenly Father, and I wouldn't give that up for the WORLD.  But yeah so we started teaching a new person this week! Shes a sweet old gal named Janet (idk if I've mentioned her before) and we read the part on the Book of Mormon with her where Jesus visits the nephites, and it was POWERFUL! After we finished reading that she said she would read 20 chapters before our next visit! (Today) so we'll see how that goes!  Anywayyyyyyyy that's all lol Syd

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 ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!  (Prepare yourselves, this ones kinda long, lol)  ☆☆ And the angel said unto them, FEAR NOT: for, behold, I bring you GOOD tidings of GREAT JOY!! which shall be to ALL people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a SAVIOUR which is Christ the Lord ☆☆ (Luke 2:10-11, emphasis added)  Oh my goodness golly gee, what a time to be alive! Christmas as a missionary is the BEST! But also really hard too. That's a given. But people are so kind to us. It's been a busy week and a half. We had zone conference which was AMAZING. It was like a spiritual talent show (which sounds kinda lame, lol) but it was actually so so good. By far my favorite zone conference. There were lots of really good musical numbers, my zone is super talented ❤ I did a painting of the stars/christmas star, cuz I pretty much got my testimony from the stars. How could there NOT be a God when there are things so beautiful and breathtaking like the stars. And how could He NOT l...

Hey all!!  Not much this week again, lol. We're trying to jumpstart the area. We set a goal to knock on every door in Brownsville. it's not that huge of a task, cuz B-ville is TINY. But yay so we did a lot of that this week and we actually got a lot of return appointments!! So nothing major, but still kind of a miracle. We also had a lesson with R and it went so well!!!!! He is so in tune with the spirit and has so much faith. So, lots of good things!!  Also we have zone conference coming up this week, and I'm singing in it again???? (I sung at the last one, too.) And like ya, my voice isn't horrible, but it sure as heck isn't good enough for a musical number!! why does this happen to me?????? Anyway, here are pics!! Lots of cats this week, lol.

Not much this week, lol I still have a crush on Oregon, LOVING the small town vibes, very very foggy. The work is kinda slow right now. We did have sort of exchanges on Saturday tho!! We did what is called a Blitz (?) Which is where both the STLs came to Brownsville and we spent all day with them. It was awesome but ya it was only like 12 hours instead of a full 24. And we spent like 6 hours outside proselyting  We also were about to drop R cuz on Tuesday he literally said he doesn't want the lessons. BUT THEN on Wednesday we ran into R again and it was like the spirit punched me in the face and said "dont you dare drop him". So yeah... we're not dropping him Also I have never felt the power of the Atonement so strong in my life. My family is going through something kind of traumatic right now, and I'm not a calm person, like at all. Y'all know me, I'm a spaz. But I'm just overwhelmed with grace and I am so at peace with everything and I know Heavenly ...
