Week 75: Pretty Gnatsty

 Yo yo everyone! My mom is sending this out yet again because I'll just be honest. I'm getting really tired of writing these after such a long time so I just keep procrastinating them until the end of pday.

Anyway! This was a super solid week. Sis Petey is a beast and Lewiston is the promised land as always. Except that there are gnats. EVERYWHERE. It was like this last year in Spokane in the fall but I swear there are literally so many here because its still so warm... So yeah its pretty gnatsty out here.

Things to know:
- REECE GOT BAPTIZED!!! It was so amazing. Her "not boyfriend"  flew up from Twin Falls just to baptize her and he starts his mission today. It was precious. It was lowkey stressful bc I basically had to plan the baptism myself haha.  We have like no coordination in the branch and it was transfers so Sis Mac was gonzo but I think it ended up okay.
- So yeah had to say bye to Sis Mac and I was #sad but its okay. I'll see her again someday. Said bye to a bunch of other friends that I probably won't see again for a fat minute either, so I'm playin #godbewithyoutilwemeetagain until then!
- Was in a little trio for a second until Hermana Wright got her trainee and that was lots of fun! She is a good sister :))
- Hit my 17 months..... AHHHH. So weird
- We moved our friend Brenas date to November 12th!!! She has work on Sundays so she hasn't been able to come to church yet, but she really wants to. So pray that she can get work off.
- I get to go to the temple this week for a convert in North named Deanna (only my favorite human in the entire universe) and I could not me more excited!!! And I'll get to see Sister Skinner who I literally have not seen in 6 months!!! Ahhh I cannot wait.
- Also Katee's baptism is this Saturday and I am soooo excited for her! Pray that everything will go well for it please.
- This one is literally just for my parents and Sis Mac: I ATE A WHOLE SAUSAGE THIS WEEK. A whole one. All by myself. No complaints too (at least outwardly). That's all. Haha I absolutely hate sausage.

Stories of the week:
- So here's the setting: We were at lunch in the boonies. At this tiny lil restaurant in Lapwai and we are the only customers. A tumbleweed rolls across the floor. Jk. But really. I'm in the middle of eating my delicious sandwich and this woman comes over (from where ??? I don't know) and says "I used to meet with the missionaries" and we were like "Oh thats pretty cool. Want to meet with them again?". Long story short she  said yes #miraclesinthebooniesyoualreadyknow
- Also we met with the COOLEST referral this week!!! We go and teach her about the resto and she was so pumped during the lesson. Like not even kidding. She adds in "woah" or "that's awesome!" like every other word and then we gave her the Book of Mormon and she says "I'M SO EXCITED TO READ THIS". I have never met anyone so enthusiastic about reading the Book of Mormon. So yeah she's the coolest.

Spiritual thought:
- I'm so bad at these nowadays. Probably because I procrastinate my emails. Anywho. Currently reading the Index for the Book of Mormon and marking the names for Christ because why not?! Don't know if it's just because I want to be able to say I've read every single page of the Book of Mormon or to see how many pages talk of Christ. Either way, I'm feeling pretty stoked. I guess I'm officially a missionary if I'm stoked about reading the Index of the Book of Mormon Haha. But seriously. This Book has helped me more times than I can count on one hand. Please pick it up if you haven't in awhile, it's really good.

Love youuuu alllllll sooooo muchhhh

Thanks for all the letters

I'm never opposed to more 

So write me before its too late

Week 74: Last in Lewi

 Aight sorry this one isn't too crazy or very long, but it was such a good week!!! 

Things to know:
- Sooo yeah we got transfer news and IM DYING IN LEWI BABY!!! (Sorry President I know you don't like when we say that) I am so hyped to be 6 monthing it honestly. This is the best area ever. So much fruit! And all of my favorite members too 
- My last comp is Sister Peterson!!! I've always wanted to serve around her, she is a cute, sweet, and gentle giant! Haha! She is like 6'1 pretty sure. But I already know it's going to be a party last transfer together!
- Got my flight plans today 
Literally so weird haha. Can't believe I'm starting my last transfer. Time is not real!
- Reece is getting baptized Friday and I am so excited!! Her boyfriend is flying out just to baptize her so thats pretty sweet. They came to the YSA activity this week and we played ultimate spoons haha it was great. #yellowteamforthewin

Stories of the week:
- Went on exchanges with Sister Foote and it was so awesome! We put two of their friends on date for baptism. AND we had a pass off with the elders for this cool friend in the YSA named Brena and she is on date for October 29th!! So many miracles! God is good my friends!

Spiritual thought:
- Ummm I don't even know anymore. I finished the Book of Mormon for the 5th time on my mission this week and lemme just say it gets truer and truer every time! Not sure how that actually works lol but really, my testimony is strengthened every time I read it!!! No one can ever convince me that book is not the word of God. Not even the drunk man that anti-ed us in Lapwai this week lol. Read the Book of Mormon! God will answer all of your questions! I promise you that!! Amen 

LOVE YOU ALL

Write me if you love me !!!

 Heyy all! General Conference was this week and it was AMAZING!!! Hope everyone got a chance to listen, and if you didn't GO DO IT! I promise you won't regret it. Also sorry to everyone I didn't respond to today ha it was a busy pday but I love you all and will message next week!


Things to know:
- Kerby got baptized!!! It was such an amazing experience, he was so happy and the spirit was SOO STRONG!
- Yeahhh so I had a bad head cold this week, I got it from Sis Mac and pretty sure she got it from our district. It stunk having to stay home but we did some calls and tech work and games and I organized our whole house haha because I was bored. 
- Got to call Sis Hart to have Sis Mac switch her exit interview time so that was fun to get to talk to her!! Love you Harty!
- Had zone conference and interviews with President and He basically told me I will probably get to die (end my mission) in Lewiston and I'll probably train! I'm SO EXCITED!!! I love this place + people TONS!
- My friend Reece is getting baptized on October 14th, and my friend Katee is getting baptized on October 22nd so pray for both of them please!! Thank you :))
- They watched conference and so did 4 of our other friends, and we got to watch all the sessions with those friends at our members houses so it was super fun!!!!
- We went bowling as a district for pday and it was awesome! Sadly I didn't beat all the elders like last time I played.
- I found out I get to go to the temple for my friend Deanna later this month and I couldn't be more excited!!!! 

Stories of the week:
- Did the nastiest service of my life and helped a hoarder clean her house... we found some cool batman masks tho lol! Pretty sure I touched so many suspicious things and had like 12 ants on me and my nostrils were filled with cat hair but I guess I survived hahaha. Pray for that lady.
- I spent like an hour killing 2 spiders in our house today because Sister Mac wouldn't help me. Hahah I vacuumed them up and then they were still alive so I didn't know what to do and ended up freeing them outside and then getting them with my shoe haha oops. Bye Bye Spiders !!

Spiritual thought:
I don't have time to write this but read my quote attached in the pictures and WATCH CONFERENCE!! Our prophet + apostles are so inspired and if you listen with questions THEY WILL GET ANSWERED! They did for me!!

I love you all!!

60 days!

Week 81: How far away is that plane?

Ahhhh. It's a weird feeling writing your last weekly about your last week as a missionary. I have had so many mixed emotions this week. ...
