Well, it's sad to say that this is it. My last full week as a missionary for my Lord and Savior.
I'd just like all of you to know, that I know that this gospel is true. I know that He lives and loves us. I know that he has a plan for each one of us and that when we are obedient to His commandments, the blessings do come!West Virginia Charleston Mission

Last Email from Mission Field - West Virginia Charleston Mission
I got a boyfriend this week
Y'all thought this would be a cheesy "last" email?
Nope.
You can't expect anything less from this sister missionary. ;)
MONDAY: We went and taught Brent Davis about the plan of salvation and then we went and taught Cheryl about Follow the Prophet (talk about crazy timing...)
Funny quote of the day:
Sister Jefferies: Sister LOOK!!
Sister Schoemig: oooh.
Sister Jefferies: No. There's a rudolph on that house.
Sister Schoemig: OOOOHHH.
TUESDAY: We had like the most killer day IVE EVER HAD IN CROSS LANES. We taught Brenda Anderson about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We found a new named Tina! Her late husband was a former that we finally picked up! She didn't have too much time but she let us in and talked about the Book of Mormon, she said her late husband loved talking to the missionaries so thats a good sign!! :) We went and tried a former named William who told us we could come back on Friday. (I'll come back to him later.) We went to dinner at the Suttles, then we went and taught the Gills. (this is where my email title comes into play) Godric, the little eight year old boy, has taken up a fascination with me, and he has now decided that I'm his girlfriend, LOL.
Funny quote of the day:
"No one likes squash (it was meant to be squatch) jokes, Sister!!" -Sister Schoemig
"You know its serious when Sister Schoemig locks the car." -Sister Jefferies
WEDNESDAY: We had district meeting, we played Exploding Kittens for more "stress relief". We tried lots of peeps. Some lady yelled and swore at us because we were wearing skirts in like 0 degree weather. #youonlymissionaryonce Then we had dinner and coordination at the Haupts. :)
THURSDAY: We weekly planned. FOR THE LAST TIME.
We went and tried Dallas, Ruth, some potentials...no one was home. BUT we taught Barbara and Joanne, it was kinda crazy because they took in some dog that was lost, the owners were on their way to get the dog, and all that but we taught them about the plan of salvation. We were going to put them on date...but it definitely wasn't the right time. Hopefully next time! When we were driving back home. that guy William from above? Had his mom call us and rip us apart, telling us not to contact them ever again. Lol that missionary life.
FRIDAY: We tried A LOT of people...no one answered because ITS FREAKING COLD OUTSIDE. We taught Cheryl about obedience. :) She is just doing so awesome. :) :) We taught the Gills again about Following the Prophet (what a coincidence that that is the lesson we are on with like everybody lol)
SATURDAY: We had a really rough day of trying lots of less actives in second ward. And to top it all off...we got transfer calls. Which ended up turning out NOT THE WAY WE WERE EXPECTING. They called and told us oh well Sister Schoemig is going home...but Sister Jefferies is leaving Cross Lanes too! It was a shock. The zone leaders called us back a a little later...they felt so bad for us...that they got permission to tell us what was going on...Sister Jefferies is just going to be in a trip ship in Teays Valley.
SUNDAY: We went to church at the second ward. Then we called our zone leaders to get more details because basically EVERYONE is confused about us getting doubled out. So we found out that Sister Jefferies will still be covering cross lanes. (we are not sure all the details of it, but thats all we've heard) President is supposed to be calling us soon to give us the run down of what we need to do. We ate lunch at Betty Junes. :) We worked on our area books all day, and then went and saw the Gills again! :)
So basically we had one CrAzY week, but we are still alive and standing. :) CROSS LANES FOR THE WIN.
I LOVE YOU ALL TO THE MOON AND BACK.

Wait...it's 2018??
SOOOO...I don't have a lot of time...BUT ITS 2018!!!! We didnt really celebrate at all...in fact this morning...we woke up and were like oh it's 2018.
This week we did some service for the Ruffell family. IT WAS SO FUN. We primed two of their rooms and it is starting to look way good in their home!
I was watching a face to face this week of some musical artists and one of the girls said...."Do exactly what your scared to do"...so basically thats my motto this year. TO DO EVERYTHING (okay...maybe not everything...) I AM SCARED TO DO.
We had interviews with President Lindhardt and it was sooo good. He was really proud of me for sticking through my last couple transfers. I walked in and he goes..SIster Schoemig! You've had a .....*makes roller coaster motion with hands* couple of transfers! :) lol.
We picked up a lady named Sherri, we helped her move in her new couch and then taught her the restoration. She was really excited to read from the Book of Mormon which makes me excited, because SOMEONES EXCITED TO READ FROM THE BEST BOOK EVER. 
It snowed friday night, so saturday was working in the freezing cold snow!! We almost ran into the car in front of us....so we drove like old ladies all the day long. SUPER SLOW. :)
Church got canceled in the 2nd ward, and teays valley, and we only had sacrament for the 1st ward so we went to 1st ward! We picked up a lady named Ruth Waters, she was one of those ones that the more we talked the more solid she was! She loves Joseph Smith and the book of mormon! Hopefully it all goes well!!
ANYWAYS.... I am so glad I have been able to spend all of 2017 serving the Lord. I expect 2018 to be the same...just in a different....setting. :) I can't start on all the cheesy "i love my mission" stuff till next week....well because i might cry.
SOOOOO
I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!!!!
