Monday- God loves effort

♡ really had like no time to knock and fr didn't want to which never happens. Anywho not my will but thy will. We get out and knocked and BAM we find a mom and her kid. She fr might progress which would be a miracle for Cleveland. We had a nice lil lesson with her and left feeling uplifted. Had a good social media block and ate up President Nelson's birthday celebration!!! 

♡ talking to family is such a treat. I love them people.

Tuesday- Angels round about and the most Cleveland day 

♡ gotta thank the Lord we're alive hahaha. We got a referral who specifically wanted sisters. We talked to her on the phone and she seemed completely normal. So her address is up in downtown Cleveland and we park and get out and it's the sketchiest area I've been in yet. People shooting up on the street, a bunch of homeless people you get the vibe. Well her address doesn't exist and we're walking the streets calling her and asked for her to send her address thinking she must have typed it wrong. Well nope. Funny thing is the second we had gotten out of the car I got really sick and thought I was gonna throw up. Well at this point I'm like mmmm we need to go and go now. Anywho not gonna go further with that. We are alive hahaha 

♡ saw a grown man peeing in the streets, then got hit on by a black man and as soon as I said Christian missionary he said ohh shhhee Nvm. Laughed so hard 

♡ met someone totally high out of their mind on a Tuesday at 2pm. 

♡ had a really fun member meal with our cutest young couple. 

♡ Met Katy who's a cute referral that wants to learn more and be baptized woohoo

Wednesday- Cradle position 

♡ honestly nothing crazy other than I got so over stimulated at our Book of mormon study i had to excuse myself and sit in a small condensed space haha that's new

Thursday- bear one another's burdens 

♡ VINNIE AND LAUREN!! I have been praying and pleading with God to send the elect, just one person who's ready to progress and today he sent two. Vinnie is an ex member who Loves the gospel. Lauren is his girlfriend who is so ready and so receptive. We had the craziest lesson, we were on tvs (training visits) and my cute comp for the day was just crying. The spirit was so strong. It healed my soul 

♡ finally Sam and Sandy responded and we have lessons set up with them!!!

♡ had another wild lesson with Melissa, her boyfriend Needs to go! He is so mean. She had me dying of laughter tho she was reading the scriptures really loudly so he could hear them And then just hysterically laughing. 

♡ Catherie got her temple recommend!!! 

♡ sister Blanks called me and she got her temple recommend!!! I cried and she cried it was so tender I've never felt so much joy in my life 

♡ learned some sign language and ran into the Berretts from solon!! it was so good to see them 

♡ had the wildest time in the projects. little kids everywhere. Drugs everywhere. Super drunk high people. One lady in particular was actually way cool. She lost her 8 month year old son. we had a really good conversation and she gave us a big hug. We're not allowed to knock here without the elders so they came with, and also found some cool friends. 

♡ Did some calling on Jesus therapy moment in the parking lot. It was honestly such a spiritually Impacting moment again to feel Christ just talking through me. It's the hardest thing to explain, but nothing could be more of an honor 

Friday- bad chow mein 

♡ nasty Chinese food, good company tho sister Allen was so sweet

♡ met a new friend today as we went to teach someone we found awhIle ago. Her son was real Interested, asked lots of good questions

♡ fought to stay awake all day

♡ found some more bullets for my collection 

Saturday- 

♡honestly just a bland day. Some knocking, some phone calls for church 

♡ Melissa is an absolute gem. We had a lesson with her and Sister Z, she lowkey went off on random tangents, but she is older and just so cute. I was grateful she came, she has a wonderful, powerful testimony. Melissa is absolutely hilarious. She's a spunky woman with a lot of sass. I laugh so hard every time. 

♡ made some homemade mcgriddles for dinner, gf of course 

Sunday- A rollercoaster 

♡ we got to attend the temple dedication for Pittsburgh virtually at the church and then headed to clearfork for Alis baptism. Well to sum it up she is going to have to wait until Saturday to be baptized. kinda Tough, but God's planning is everything. Trust trust trust. God is the master puzzler here. Pieces will move into place when needed. It was good to see her and get to teach her again. After we had a good drive home and helped some struggling missionaries out. Enjoyed a member meal and some long sync ups with sisters and district leaders.
