We have pets!!

Okay guys I have realized I'm kinda terrible at letting you all know who we are teaching and what's happening in that world. So let's get started with a rundown of the people we are teaching. We have our friend Ember and she is getting baptized this Saturday!! She is 11 and so sweet. We are so excited for her! Next up is our friend Chris. Chris is awesome! His fiancée Stephanie will join in on lessons and they both have so many questions but are receptive to all the answers we give them! He keeps all of the commitments we give him which is super awesome too! Next up we have Janet and she has also been taught all the lessons. We are helping her with some stuff but she is going to be baptized on December 31st! We have a few others we are teaching as well and they are all so awesome! 

My queen. The best trainer I could ever ask for truly. I feel blessed every day to have her!

On Monday we went to the USS Alabama battleship for pday. We went as a zone and toured the submarine there, the planes, and the battleship. It was pretty cool!


We also got to see the ocean so that was awesome

Then that night we drove 4 hours to B-ham again because we had the temple in the morninggg. It gets dark here so early so the drives feel so late haha


The temple was so amazing and the zone conference was so cool too because the entire mission was there! We had fire trainings with our zone and from other leadership. It was so cool to be around so many missionaries all day. Got to see the squad from the MTC too!
Spot the elders in the back
When you can actually see the sunset and aren't surrounded by trees the sunsets are really pretty. I do miss the mountains tho.

So many times my comp and I say the same thing or we are thinking the same thing. We are pretty much the same person and it's lit. We got to catch up on sleep too this week cause my comp got sick so that was sad to not go out but I enjoyed taking a nap!

We went to an activity and made ornaments and we painted one for each other and we made a promise to hang each other's on our Christmas trees for the rest of our lives. We will keep each other accountable.


We got drinks, are we surprised?


We got to do a family history booth with the elders and we didn't find anyone but once we packed up we talked to a lady and shared about gamily history and she was so sweet and interested.



This is in one of our kitchen cupboards 😃 we have a colony of cockroach eggs I think made by that lovely lady! So many sweet pets roaming around it's so sweet haha. Live laugh love. Thankfully tho we get to move apartments tomorrow!! We get a two bed two bath and its newer so praying we won't have cockroaches!!


We have so many calls every day because we are trying to see if people have moved and that's normally less successful but gotta do it

Another fun sunset. It's so fun when it's not cloudy but then we see the sunset at 4:45 and the realize we have 4 more hours of work and we get shlumped


Well that's pretty much all I have for this week! It goes by fast but every day is long and tiring. Mission day to day life is hard but it is worth it. The weeks fly by and it's crazy to think how long I have already been out. I love seeing people learn more about God and His plan for us. It's a perfect plan and so so loving. He knows everything and gave us His Son who felt everything. We are never alone. We are loved and cared for. I had to study for a thought I had to give and the talk I studied talked about anchors and where we anchor our boats. When hard times come, and they will make sure your anchor is Jesus Christ and his gospel. I know that if you have that you will be able to take the challenges and be able to stay strong. I love you all! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Well, my bad I didn't write last week. I really didn't have much to report and had no pictures. I also was sick on Monday so I was not feeling it hahah.  This is all I have to report from last week. Had an awesome lunch with a member Sister Champagne. It was so fun and delicious. We also filmed for our social media page and then got Chic-fil-a! Then we also got Zaxby's Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries. That was spectacular! I had been talking about it my whole mish and so finally having it was wonderful. So thankful for Lucie introducing that one to me. Wow pretty much looks like all we do here is eat. Lastly, we played some fun games on p-day. But that night I started to really feel like I was getting real sick.  So this was me Tuesday at the end of the day. I was perishing. Probably my hardest day so far. We had district council and then we got Panda and Boba. We were rushing all day to get where we needed to and to all our lessons. We visited some members and then Sister...

We're back

Okay it's been a while since I've written one of these. My bad. Lots has happened tho! We had zone conference and got a new mission president!! Oh my I love them so much. They are an answer to all of my prayers with the revelation they have for this mission already. They are SO FUN!!! We had a meet and greet with them and it was awesome. They are young and so cool. So that's pretty exciting. Zone conference was good. We said bye to the Chibota's which was sad. We will miss them too!  Lowkey these past weeks have been pretty hard but I've learned to rely on Heavenly Father more than I ever have. I had only Him to pray and talk to and sometimes I would just sit there with Him and I could feel that I was loved. Some days I didn't know how I could get through the long day but I prayed in my head and I know He gives us strength. I also appreciate every one of you who sends prayers to missionaries. It is felt!!  This week we had an all day service on Monday and we hel...

Exchanges!!

Image
This week was pretty good. We had 5 of our Haitian friends come to church!! They drove 40 minutes to get there!! We put 2 people on baptismal date and we had a lot of good lessons. We have been finding a lot and that has been helpful! Our new mission president is changing a lot of things and it is so good! We now can use our apartment gyms and we are all going on a 3 week social media fast. This next week is transfers and I'm so scared haha. I am curious to see what he will do and if he switches things up.  We had exchanges this week and I got to see my best friend Sister Ady!! ❤️👯🏼‍♀️ Yayayayay!! I love her and it brought me so much joy. I am so lucky with the friends God has blessed me with from serving a mission. I've met some lifelong friends. Sister Ady is leaving so it was our last exchange ever. Next time we are together we will be partying it up in good ole Utah. I hadn't laughed as much as I did with her in a whileee.  We had the funniest member meal too. They we...
