Week 22: Happy new year!! 🎉🎉

Hey ya'll!! 

So this past week has been a little rough, we are mostly finding and meeting members because the people we are teachings, their records are taking longer to transfer but they are coming! Haha.

So a fun story, on Wednesday we were walking down this street heading to a members house and we saw this guy working on his car, so we stopped and asked if he needed help and he said sure so we go to help him. His name is Tom.  As we are helping him his wife comes out and just starts bashing on us, we talked for a little bit so she goes inside and Tom just starts telling us some stories and life events and then she comes back out to bash us some more, then goes inside and Tom just continues his story😂😂.

She comes out a third time and tells us we are not going to change his faith or get anywhere with him so stop trying! Tom turns to her and say I am just telling them stories😂😂

Moral of the story, Tom is a cool guy with awesome stories haha.

It showed me that no matter how hard things get, God will provide good for you so keep your head up and don't get discouraged.

Week 21: Merry Christmas!!🎄

Hey y'all, so the big news, I got moved into a new area!!!
Not only a new area but my new companion, Elder Green, and I are opening the area. So it is a new area haha.
We are in Reynoldsburg East, we have another companionship in the ward and they are west.
The fun part is we share a car so they get it one week and we get it the other so a lot more walking yay! Haha.
So that is the big news from the week, not a lot happened besides that, 
Lastly I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and that everyone can be safe and remember the true meaning of Christmas is to remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!

I love you all, Merry Christmas!!!

Week 20: Weekly? On Sunday?

HEY YA'LL 

So I am sending this out right now because this week is transfers!!🎉🎊😪😭😂😁

                                

This week has been has been awesome!! A few things that made it awesome:

Christmas Conference - instead of a zone conference we had Christmas conference and it was with half the mission!! So lots of missionaries lol.

It was fun, we got to play games and had an awesome spiritual thought and dinner was so good.

That was on Friday.

Yesterday was an awesome day, we met this girl named Mary who is down to meet with us and she has some family that are members. 

Then with 10 minutes left of the night we decide to go to the bus stop by our apartment and as we get there this guy gets off the bus and sees us and is all, "are you Later Day Saints?" 

So we say ya and he starts talking and it's a good conversation then he talked about doing baptisms for the dead and Elder Thomas and I were all, You're a member!? 

And he is but it's been a long time so we had an awesome conversation with him and as we are talking another bus pulls up at the stop and the door opens and the driver says "Hello Elders" and we were like Whhaaaaaaaatttt? And he says he is from the Reynoldsburg ward and we said that's awesome and then he had to go.😂

So last night was awesome!!!!! And we ended up running back to the apartment so we weren't late😂😂

I just want to leave with how much I love this time of year and for the true meaning of Christmas. 

I know that we have Christmas to celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ and that he came to die for us so that we could return with him and our Heavenly Father and be together with our families for all eternity.

I love you all, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!

Week 19: Yo what's up

Hey y'all, so funny story from this week.

Elder Thomas and I were walking down a street and he gets a prompting to go to this door. So we do that and this guy answers and is all happy so we say who we are and that we have a message about Jesus Christ, he says he can't right now because he has a contractor over but we can come back. So we plan for the next day and we hand him a Book of Mormon and he is happy to take it and said it had been awhile since he read it.

It was kind of weird because there was no resistance at all which we are not used to lol.

So that next day we go to his house but we see the Book of Mormon on the porch with a note and it said that he was sorry and he has a copy of the Book and he is Catholic and just wanted to be nice.

So the fact that there was no resistance made sense now 😂

Other than that the week was pretty great. 

The weather warmed up and then got super cold again so that was fun.

Transfers are coming up (Dec 20th) and I'm probably leaving Worthington which is sad because I love it here but I know I will love wherever else I go and that is where I should be.

Welp I forgot everything else I was going to put here and I was bad at journaling this week....

So i hope y'all are still awesome and have amazing days.

Week 18: Crazy weather ❆ ☔ ☀

Hey Y'all, 

So this past week we got snow!!! For 3 days, then it was raining a ton!! And then yesterday was 60 degrees again 😂😂

We are supposed to get more snow soon so that will be fun. 

But so at home I was fine with the cold, I like Utah cold, I can deal with that... Ohio cold cuts you to the bone. It is not fun. lol and there is snow, but mostly everything just gets a layer of ice, I tried to open our car door and it wouldn't open Haha, but when it did all you heard was breaking ice.

Also it rained so much the sewer grate flooded lol.

Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat but I was fine going through it, last night we had an awesome lesson with a guy that is really hard to set an appointment with.  Then we sat down with these people that we helped moved her couch and it got deep!! And the spirit was really present. 

Today I woke up feeling terrible, my throat is dead and I got a cold lol.

Besides that everything is going awesome!!

Light the world is here!!! And I know that it is going to be amazing!!
