Christopher Columbus Bag Bombed FDR And Crash Gamed Your Head Team Leader

Haha, so I bet you are all wondering what my email title means...and well, at Teays Valley coordination this week at the Haupts, we played a game called You've Been Sentenced (its a really chill coordination and it really freaks me out sometimes)  And I totally did not expect to be good at this game but I was! The point of the game is to use the ten words you are given to make a grammatically correct sentence. The line that I won with was "Christopher Columbus Bag Bombed Franklin D. Roosevelt and crash gamed your head team leader." It was hilarious and awesome. :)

MONDAY: We taught Wilma, that cute old lady we found the other week, about the restoration. And We taught Cheryl about the plan of salvation and it was sooo good! :) She just is so willing to learn and has such good questions. I love teaching her.

TUESDAY: We had a day of lots of potential and it all fell flat. :( We LOVE days like that. We tried this potential that we were trying and his boyfriend (we didn't know that at the time) answered the door and told us that the guy we wanted to see didn't feel like talking and then we commenced to inviting him to learn about the gospel and he said You do know we're gay right? and I didnt know what to say to that so I just said...well, this message is for all! haha lol awkward missionary moments.

WEDNESDAY: We had district meeting, lunch and comp study at the mission office so that was pretty fun! :) We tried lots of peeps, we had some pretty miracle moments where everyone we talked to somehow knew a member or something like that (God totally put us where he needed us), we taught Pat Sizemore, and we had dinner and coordination at the Haupts.

THURSDAY: We went to the family history center with Linda, toured her around the church. We weekly planned and tried lots of peeps again with no luck. (It just really wasn't our week)

FRIDAY: THIS WAS THE BEST DAY EVER. We had mission tour with Elder Bradly Foster of the seventy. Turns out, his daughter is living in Cedar Hills ON BRISTLECONE WAY. (the street I used to live on! with the cunninghams!!) So they texted their daughter to tell the cunninghams I said Hi. :) We learned some amazing things and the spirit was just so strong there. I also loved this day because I got to see some of my very best friends and catch up with them. The hard thing about a mission is the constant goodbyes. I HATE GOODBYES. One thing Elder Foster said that kinda hit me hard was "What would you like to say to Heavenly Father in your last prayer as a full time missionary? Be able to say it." I was like oh man, thats coming for me. AHH. Anyways. 

BTW. Remember last year when I was interviewed at mission tour by Elder Meurs. Well, I had a bit of De Ja Vu but with Elder Foster! We were eating lunch at mission tour when one of the assistants, Elder Webb, came up to us and said Sisters Your interview with Elder Foster will start in a few minutes, President will come and get you when its time and we were like WAIT WHAT?! NO ONE TOLD US. haha. So yours truly was interviewed by Elder Foster. :) But what was truly a blessing was that president told us that Elder Foster didn't want leaders or anything like that but he wanted some good missionaries to represent the mission so president picked us! So I couldn't have had that experience if I wasn't released from being an STL. #tendermercy We talked about some good things in my interview and I got to get some good advice from him about going home so when I say that was a tender mercy, it was a for real TENDER MERCY.

SATURDAY: The best thing that happened this day was that we got invited to the adult session on stake conference. So that was awesome!! :)

SUNDAY: We had stake conference! <3 We had our whole day like fall through on us so that was awesome. But we managed to still teach Daizy and find a new investigator named Debbie! We also got the chance to watch the face to face with Elder Oaks and Elder Ballard! This weekend was a weekend of inspiration. IT WAS SO GOOD. :)

If you can't tell....I REALLY LOVE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. I've been thinking about how sometimes you can get wrapped up in the details of it or of in the plan of happiness, but what matters is the simplicity of it. If you have faith in the Lord, you will repent. You will change. You will be baptized. You will be confirmed a member of the Lord's true church. You will ENDURE. No matter what comes. Doubt YOUR doubts, before you doubt the Lord or his true church and gospel. If you have questions or concerns about that, you can talk to yours truly. For I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (3 Nephi 5:13)

I LOVE YOU ALL TO THE MOON AND BACK.

HAVE A VERY MERRY THANKSGIVING. :) ha!​
