Okay but I just hit 9 months. Half way some with my mission?! Wow! I've only been in the field for about 4 and a half months but I'm half way done! So many things have happened. And I've learned so much! About the gospel, about missionary life, about myself, and a lot of other things too. My mission is exactly 0% what I expected it to be but I wouldn't change it. It has been an unforgettable experience to say the least. I cant wait to see how the rest of my mission experience goes :)
So. I had a traumatic experience the other day. We were picking up dinner from a member and when I was get into the car....I stepped in poop. And what makes it worse is that we are pretty sure it was human poop. Not just one of my shoes. BOTH of them. Kinda sucked. My brand new doc martens. Our car has smelled bad every since. Moral of the story...look where you're stepping.
We have had a few little miracles this week with finding people. We had 2 people randomly text us asking us to teach them! I don't know how common that is in other places but that has not happened to me very many times where people were trying to find US. We have started to teach them and they are eating it up :) We love teaching people!!
Me and Sister Westenskow bought matching pajamas last pday at goodwill and we wore them during a mission wide kahoot game via zoom. (we didn't win the gift card this time...oof). We got lotssssss of comments about them. Comp unity.
Yes, we are still in stay at home order. We are just chill at home alllllllll day. But we've come up with something. We go on walks to bakeries. Then we buy pastries and donuts. The goal is to find the best bakery on mission street. If anyone has any suggestions for good bakeries please send them my way so we can try them!!
Okay before I end really fast I have a scripture to share. My girl Sister Lau shared this scripture during a call with a few sisters in the mission. Alma 50:16, "And thus ended the twentieth year". Just a little hope for us all that the twentieth year is almost over ;). We are about to get a fresh start! BUT although this year has been so hard for all of us we should be trying so hard to find the good in 2020. I know that (as weird as it sounds) the pandemic brought blessings to my life.
Love you all :))
