Hey hey! So it was a pretty good week and I can't believe the transfer is almost over. Hopefully Sister Christley and I will stay together next week!
For Halloween we carved pumpkins! Our Ward members that we did it with had a crazy kid who wouldn't settle down unless they turned on the Nightmare Before Christmas so that was on in the background the whole time. Honestly, I couldn't complain...
Thursday hit me like a brick wall. I finally had a day where all of the frustrations and set backs of the past 15 months caught up to me and they kind of came out everywhere. Luckily, it was our weekly planning day so we didn't have to go anywhere for a while. I let myself get frustrated and down and compared myself to other missionaries. I couldn't understand how other missionaries could be finding people to teach when I had been giving my all and not finding anybody. I have always struggled with finding on my mission and was kind of at the last straw. I called Sis Bauer and she helped me SO much (no surprise there). I was kind of giving up that day but she told me that maybe Heavenly Father was pushing me to see if I would give up. I picked myself up off of my floor and got ready to go out. Basically, I was a whole big hot mess but that night we found a new investigator who wants us to come back next week and teach his family. I thought that was pretty cool.
Sister Christley put some pizza rolls in the microwave for 13 minutes....yes, she thought it said 13 minutes for the microwave....well they came out completely black and she burned and cracked the plate. I went and checked the bag and it said 2 minutes. We then proceeded to laugh on the floor for like 20 minutes.
Hmmmmm, I think that's about it. It was great and I'm excited for today! We are going to play board games and go to a bonfire. Have a great week and pray I don't fall in!
LOVES ️
