In Da Hood Again

What's up ladies and gentlemen. This week went by so fast but also what we did on Monday feels like ages ago. Time isn't real on the mission. Let's get into it!




On Monday we went to Dauphin Island which was SO fun! We got to hang out on the beach with the district and it was so fire. Really made me want to swim in the ocean tho.
Tuesday was such a busy day. We moved, had district council, and had exchanges. But our new apartment is sooo nice. We are hoping we didn't bring too many cockroaches with us. But we have our own bathrooms now and another room! Feeling real blessed 🙌🏼


Elder Ostler and Elder Mouser. We ward share with them and it's a party for sure. They got these sweet sweaters and matched with each other!

Exchanges were good, I learned a lot and there was a lot of success. We met a part member family though and their son wants to be taught and get baptized! It's so exciting! Cried tears of joy when I was reunited with Sister Hunt tho. 🙏 

Thanksgivinggggg!!! This was such a fire day. We got to go to the Bush's for breakfast and they have pie for breakfast. It was so yummy and so fun! Their famiky is so fun to be around and the pies were sooo good. 


We then went to the hospital with the elders so they could give a blessing. That was a cool experience and we also talked to the front desk guy for a while.




We met these guys who were high and offered us a blunt and it was the funniest contact we've had so far. It was a party.




Next we had dinner at the Odom's house. It was SO fancy. The Bush's and our friend Gilly were there. We tried fried gizzards and well... that was an experience. Not a fan at all. 
 

The next night we had the craziest experience ever and let's just say we will be strapped from now on. People be wilddd. But we have the spirit and truly are being protected here it's amazing. 

We had lunch the next day with our friend Gilly and that made everything better. They have a place called foosackleys and it's pretty much a knockoff cane's. Pretty good.


Then we had Ember's baptism!! She is the sweetest and it was such a good day. The spirit spirit so strong at baptisms. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!


We had lots of great contacts this week and we are so busy but I genuinely love it. Some days are hard but it's still the best thing I could be doing right now in my life. This week I studied more about the atonement this week and studied Jeffery R. Hollands talk called Where Justice, Love, and Mercy Meet. It is so good. It is powerful and truly testifies how much we are loved by Jesus Christ. His hand is always reaching out for us. He will not let us fall. I love this gospel and I love being a missionary even though it's so hard sometimes. I love y'all pls message me I want to hear from you!!

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...
