Aug 26th 2024

Switching it up because it's been a crazy week


Highlights: 

  • Found some amazing new friends. Los of tender mercies. 

♡ Some specifics: we found a friend through a recent convert. It's her daughter. She seems mildly interested. ♡ We found cute John and Julie. We knocked on their house and they wanted to learn about the Bom and ended up giving us their moms funeral announcement. Kind of precious. 

♡ Mr. Williams was soo cool, we knocked into him and declared our purpose and he wants to be baptized! We set up a date and made a calendar for him 

♡ a self referral named Julianna is absolutely amazing and wants to be taught. 

♡ we knocked and found a lady who was waiting for us. Asked if we had a Bom and said she's been waiting for one. Sooo cool. Her husband is super interested as well. Kenyatta is a queen 

♡ found two friends on social media within my area that are super interested 

♡ Taylor we knocked into and she is way into it all. She has never heard of the Book of Mormon and is so excited to learn more


Friends from Cleafork and Tallmadge 

  • Ronda picked a baptismal date finally!!! She's our sweet friend I found on training visits and we invited her to the Sunday we got emergency transferred. She said she'd pray about it. Guess she texted the Elders and said she was ready and she knows it's true

  • Lucky from tallmadge also picked a date for baptism woohooo. We've been working on him awhile. I knew he'd get there. He's the king from Nigeria that had like 12 Nigerian roommates in one house. He is so precious and still messages me everyday almost. 

  • Ali is locked from clearfork. She's ready for her baptism yayay. 


♤ Had a Training Visit with Sister Damery it was great in north Olmsted. Found some Albanian people. Might have to call in my brother in law. We had a bold and super fun day. Found new friends, cleaned and helped a lady pack, visited the cutest old man who has two planes sitting in his barn. Soooo sick. He used to be a pilot. Talked to a group of Mexicans who seemed interested. 

♤ went to the zoo for pday 

♤ Had a fun time knocking, it's honestly so hard to decide where to knock because it's all amazing. Love the wild things I see 

♤ Went into Downtown Cleveland…. Had to pay for parking but was worth it. Did some fun street proselyting, got to see the rock n roll hall of fame, met some crazy people. 

♤ got to spend a day with no Tiwi yelling at me- if you don't know what that is that's the little monitor in our car that tracks our driving and yells at us. I actually got to go the speed of traffic and that made me feel a little free 

♤ MLC was so spiritual and everything besides the ending was exactly what I needed. I felt my prayers, the said and unsaid ones were heard. I know that's true. The moments where we feel so alone and have a prayer in our heart, he hears them and is there with us

♤ sister Jacobson made me the cutest little stitched picture of us! Made me laugh so hard then cry 

♤ Our elders in our area made us gluten free cookies and I sobbed about it- absolutely precious

♤ B.o.m class was amazing!!! So so spiritual and got to meet some recent converts. 

♤ 3 new wonderful friends on date for baptism 

♤ Had the most delicious authentic enchiladas 

♤ had a cute relief society activity where we got to know people and do like a mock speed dating kind of set up. 


Mid to Lowlights 

☆ lots of moments on My knees seeking revelation and comfort. 

☆MLC made me spiral a little. It's so easy to feel like you're not enough out here.

☆ sooo lonely but God always prevails in those moments 

☆ sirens every night :((( 

☆ Sean a friend being so, so depressed and just absolutely without hope 

☆ Bashers :((( 

☆ the lady at cvs thinking I couldn't be logan because I'm a girl ://// a real dagger to my heart
