well
friends, this week was a week! good things for sure.
• everyone else in the mission had their transfers this week but
we got more sisters in the zone and it has been a party! bonus, president
brennan gave sister stahle and chibota permission to come do their laundry at
our apartment so we got to spend the day with them and got cfa:)))!! so good to
be with other people!

• we also met with kevin this week! he is currently praying
about a date to be baptized and we are excited for him! the members have
been so great at fellowshipping him. one couple brought over cookies and
another member got him a large print book of mormon.
• sadly, president and sister brennan are returning home from
their mission on wednesday. i am so grateful for the time i could spend
learning and being taught by them. i know it was inspired that they were here
when they were. we were blessed enough that they came to visit us at our
apartment. i am going to miss them lots, but i am excited for president and
sister heap! they are going to be great!

• we joined in with the elders who are now currently teaching
ryan this week. so sadly, he has been struggling with different things and it
has been a hard transition with him to be with elders now. please keep him in
your prayers!
• erin is doing good! this poor girl is going through trial after trial but she keeps telling us how she could not handle any of this if she hadn't been baptized when she was. she is such an example to me of being Christ-like. love her!
• ok i have been meaning to mention this for like months, but i bought a bird feeder! one of my best purchases on my mission. it was fun when we had geese to come eat from it—but no geese here :'( . it has been sad, but there have been different fun birds in this area, so much so that i decided to get a second bird feeder. things that keep you sane in quarantine, amiright?🤷♀️
me and my bird feeders lol |
• also sister nielsen and i treated ourselves to olive garden on saturday. for
fun haha. and the sweetest members came and visited with us! they are from the
owosso ward and paid for our meal! i have never had that happen on my mission, and
it was so kind.

• we also have been reading the book of mormon as a mission the last 50 days (i
think i mentioned before). since we haven't been swamped with things in the
past weeks, i was able to take some extra time to read and finish. so many
things recently have really brought me closer to my Savior and this was able to
come as an answer to several prayers. i know without a shadow of a doubt that
the book of mormon is true. i know it is another witness of Jesus Christ and i
cannot picture my life without it. God is so aware. He loves me, and i know He
loves you.

also we have a tennis court so we go play in the mornings sometimes |
