Oh WOW 

Sunday- woah we had 27 people shot in our area 

Monday- Choir practice in kirtland Temple

Had a wonderful pday talking to family, playing secret Hitler, and singing in the kirtland temple! 

Tuesday- kirtland for 12 hours

Wednesday- bland

Honestly not much to say. Got a drink and went to canes as a district. Taught cute Tammy. Got to know a cute member that's been inactive and wants to come back to church. She was adorable and just yapped. I loved it. Did some knocking and that's about all. 

Thursday- Meth, crack, and Jesus!!!  

Exercised then switched for training visits! I went to Akron with sister Estock. She is the loml. Akron is a blessed land that I want to serve in so badly. Manifesting that's my next area. Well we chopped chicken all through personal study just yapping and debriefing. There was a lot to be said. Bless her soul. We had a dandy time stopping by cute Melvins who is being baptized this Saturday as long as he stays away from Crack. He is so precious and an absolute sweetheart. We then had some good times talking to her District Leader for a fat minute. Followed by our adventure in Wendy's. People watching in Akron goes crazy. We then had a good ole 40 minute therapy session with our zone leader. He had a lot to unpack. Then we had another debriefing session. Wowza what else are tvs for. We got trapped outside of McDonald's by some crazy men who just kept talking. It was a good lil teaching moment tho. He then tried to get in our car with us. We oym(open your mouth)  to a cute dude outside who is absolutely precious and we snagged a return appointment. We rushed into Robert's house who is a member! HE IS SO CUTE. Just a real gem. We read the Book of Mormon together and had some snacks. After we chopped chicken with a member at subway's and invited him to share the gospel. King goes okay what about this guy pointing to someone in the store. He proceeds to oym and try and share a message. Unreal. How awesome. We ended the night with some knocking and it was a blast and a half. Sister Estock is an absolute dawg. Laughed my face off and loved life. I'm thinking I'm coming to her next transfer. Fingers crossed. 

Friday- just wow 

Today was quite the day. We switched back in the morning and I was so tired all of personal study. I was just zonked. We had a sync up with the zone leaders where we debriefed a lot. Ended with a touch of another pep talk for them. Weekly planned, ate quickly, and went to Beverly. Who wasn't home ahh. So then we did contacting and comp study. We then walked past some younger men to get to our next lesson who was Nicholas. HE IS AWESOME. It was incredible. We had a great lesson on his porch and i feel really great about him. As we walked back to the car those young men go “ I hate to do this but my friends and I think you're both cute and we'd like to take you out for coffee”  we had a great teaching opportunity explaining that we're missionaries and the man booked it to the backyard. Poor man had built up so much courage. We then went to Jeanette and had sister Peugh join us! She accepted our baptismal invite and we just had a precious lesson with her. We grinded some apartments and shared lots of messages but didn't find a new friend. Lots of little seeds planted. We did social media and then were leaving to meet up for another training visit when we got summed to a members house so the elders could give a blessing. I held this sweet member as she sobbed and cried. It was very hard to watch. I cried along with her as we took turns sharing our thoughts and messages with her. We were able to calm her down enough for her to receive a blessing. We didn't leave until 9:40 and we had to still drive to meet for training visits. Well we zoomed, switched and headed home. The cute Sister got in the shower and I cleaned up the house and then put her to bed. I ended being up wayyy to late. What a powerful day but so draining.

Saturday- TV and wonderful people 

Me and sister Murphy woke up ready to destroy Tallmadge together!! We went to the gym and went crazy followed by some yummy breakfast and a lot of yapping. You always have to debrief life. Personal study I tried to write my talk for the home ward but got no where. Revelation was not flowing. We zoomed on over to the church for contacting and social media work when we get a text from a ysa member also asking us to speak on Sunday. So now I had another talk to prepare and no time to do such thing. 

Well we pushed on and had a wonderful day. Sister Murphy is so cute and precious. We had an intense lesson with our friend Keanu who is really struggling mentally. Our RM Issac came with us. He was a great help. I was so nervous but God really just filled my mouth and I didn't even have to worry. After, Isaac told me I should have served in Albania, not sure what that means. We had a full day of knocking after! We had a great time. I tend to knock three times on doors and this guy answers and goes wow three knocks. I told him yes we have an important message! This is my new tactic, he ate it up. A wonderful man received the word. Then we found Alice and Terry. OH MY. They are sooo cute and we talked for about 30 minutes on their deck. They would not stop saying we had an aura all around us just glowing from us. Made me cry. Jesus Christ truly does walk alongside of us. She is in liver failure and truly wants to know who God is and gain a relationship. He is a gem who says he needs to get back into church and grow his relationship with Christ. We shared a scripture and they just ate it up. They gave us a time to come back and said that we made their entire day. They were so precious and a true miracle. After we found even more friends!!! We met Trish who let us in right away. She was so fun. She said give me homework to do before yall come back. She will be so fun to teach. We found a cute dad and a little girl about the age of 8. He said this was so needed and a sign from God. We shared lots of messages with others as well. Ended the night with calls and then drove to switch back. Stayed up until approximately 1 am writing my talks and such. Absolutely dead. 

Sunday- Princess treatment 

Wowz so I ended up speaking for the entire sacrament and sister Jacobson only had about 5 minutes to share. This is a recurring problem, time just flies by. Then we spoke again in the ysa ward and I made sister Jacobson go first and she sat down early bcuz she felt she should, well then I yapped and didn't even read my talk I wrote. Craziness. We had Beverly come and Mike and Keanu and lucky. It was so fun. Mike was talking it up with everyone. He LOVES it. Lucky also was just yapping. They both are going to be baptized. Lucky is introducing us to his friends. He said they need this message. Our talk about missionary work must have worked wonders. After, Mike made the guys all go take a photo with him. It was so funny. Lucky filled our car with washer fluid for us. We gathered as missionaries into the computer room so we could have a sync up about friends. After church next thing we know the elders go home make a chicken, rice, onion dish with Yum Yum sauce and drop it off. About time we got this type of treatment. Lol jk. It was tender, we have had a crazy week and really needed that. God is good.
