WEEK: 16
**emergency transfers.... again AREA: N/A COMPANION: N/A BOY DO I HAVE SOME NEWS !!! Tuesday I got a call from Mr president saying I'm heading to AFRICA on the 27th!!! Priiiiiitty crazy stuff. So this week I've been in level 9 panic mode. 4 points for excitement, 2 points for WHAT?!!!, 2 points for only being able to take 60lbs of things total, and 1 point because I just found out I can't wear pants there.... Anywayyyy another pretty eventful week here in the greater Cleveland area! We went to a candy WAREHOUSE for pday last week. Imagine Costco, but ONLY CANDY. It was awesommeeee. I now have jelly bellies for dayzzzz. We also went back to the Lorain house and RAIDED all the cupboards lol We've been doing a lot of service and A LOT of yard work (barf). Theres these things called cleaver weeds and they basically velcro to any available part of your body and make you ITCH! Honestly I don't think the horticultural park grows anything but weeds. But at least I get to be outside. President and Sister Sorensen came to district Council this week so that was dope. They gave everyone pineapples! We had a few lessons this week that went pretty good. Our mtv with the Valentinos was fun. Thom's baptism date got moved to June so I won't be there :( but he posted about wearing a suit to church yesterday! We went to MOOYAH for my last "American" meal. Burgers, fries, and theeee best strawberry shake EVERRR! They had a burger with hotdogs on it called the hamberdog. I wanted to get it but it was $11... The APs have been ALL up in my business these past two weeks but it's chill cause they're pretty cool. Saturday we went on a shopping spree to get me ready for Cape. It didn't feel like I was a missionary at all haha. Just 3 girls OUT ON THE TOWN. I bought a bunch of skirts to replace my pants that I can't wear. I also had to do A TON of travel stuff and my bank was going NUTS thinking it was fraud (rightfully so) so my card got declined in Walmart buying 14 months worth of tampons and the line was basically out the door. Super embarrassing. I'm moving up to Michigan today to live with 2 randos until Thursday soo we'll see how that goes. I had to pack up all my stuff yesterday. It feels like when I left Lorain but I'm way happier about it this time lol. I LOVE YOU ALLLL!!! Next week I'll be emailing from Africa. Kinda spooks Hope you have an awesome day and an even awesomer week !!

WEEK: 15
AREA: Strongsville, Ohio COMPANIONS: Sisters Davies and Kohler Olá amigos!! Maneira tudu kul?!! I hope you all had an AMAZING week :)) Monday was WILD! I packed all my stuff and moved to Strongsville and now I live here haha. It's wayyyy nicer here. There's a lot more things to do and parks. There's tons of parks haha. Also I'm not scared even a little when we're driving around! Sisters Davies is awesome. Technically she's finishing my training but it's basically over. Sister Kohler is from st george and we flew in together so it's cool to be with her again. We also got fed JUMBILIAH! It was sooo good. I thought it was a soup, but it's more like a Benja's fried rice sitch. Tuesday we picked up kohler in Perrysburg and then met up with Bowles and her new comps in tiffin for lunch. It was a fun last hurrah. I left my keys and wallet when we left so we had to go back lol. Also I lost my mdm ring so super sad about that. We had some in person lessons this week that went good, but mostly we're on the finding GRIND! In the middle of one lesson there was a gunshot that was sooo close it was kinda spook but we just ignore it lol. And the other went 2 hours long!! Yep. Longer than some movies :) Thom has been super sad that we moved and didn't show to his lesson on Sunday. And Kevin said he was having a meltdown in the morning so he wouldn't be calm enough to call in the night. We wrote our number in chalk at a bunch of places and we got a ton of texts. We're also planning some DOPE fb vids so keep your eyes peeled for those. We also stopped by a garage sale and got GIANT sticky notes and then we stopped at this little candy store just for fun haha. My new district is pretty cool. In the old district they set up our shrine and had a moment of silence for us at district Council. They're the best haha. They definitely do a lot of things different here but that's alright. We have transfers in 2 weeks. I know I'm staying so we'll have to see what happens to everyone else. Kohler is supposed to leave for Portugal on the 11th of June sooo honestly idk what's gonna happen haha. We had a zonewide fast to find kingdom builders (good investigators) which was good because I have like no food here anyway loll. We do service at a food pantry and pull A LOT of weeds. We just got some more service jobs at a park so now we're doing 10 hours instead of the 2 they were doing before... Sunday we had a fireside all about church history which I thought was pretty boring but now I know more about polygamy lol. Hope you all have an AWESOME day and and even AWESOMER week !!! WEEK: 14
**emergency transfers** NEW AREA: Strongsville, Ohio NEW COMPANIONS: Sisters Davies and Kohler Heyyyy y'all !! This week was eventful to say the least. I MOVEDDDD! More details to come. Monday we went and got Malley's which was a suuuper good ice cream shop. We took sister Mitterholzer flowers for always feeding us... but we took them to the wrong house lol. Good thing she found them. A bird flew into out window and Haasy picked it up and BROUGHT IT INTO OUR HOUSE!!! Bowles is terrified of birds so she was freaking out. It was HILARIOUS! Our heater broke on Wednesday so our house was freeeezzziiingggg. Our neighbor fixed it by putting a part of his furnace in ours. He's awesome. Thursday we found out we're all getting emergency transferred to new areas. They kept moving up the day until it was THIS MORNING. But they didn't tell us till last night soo I'm in Strongsville now. We thought it was a prank at first but it was real. It was soo out of the blue that no one knew what to do so we all just started packing and we were up till like 1 a.m. They wanted us to leave like thieves in the night without telling ANYONE! But we wanted to say goodbye so we tried to go rogue but it didn't work. We were just hysterically crying while Bowles was puking her guts up from the shot. It was a MESS. We didn't even get to tell the ward mission leader we left lol. We're gonna miss Thom and Elias' baptisms so that's pretty sad. Hopefully we will all get to watch them over zoom. We requested to have an honorary table and chairs set up at at district council with these cute name tags we made. We also requested a moment of silence during our allotted accountability time for at least until the end of the transfer. WE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!! Saturday we got the second dose of the vax. Haasy was fine but me and Bowles died again. It was all fun and games until we went to sleep. I didn't sleep at all and Bowles had to hop in the shower at like 1 am. It was basically the worst but we're recovering. I love you all! Have an awesome day, and an even awesomer week! Alsooo I would love to see some grad announcements if you wanna send them my way!! WEEK: 13
AREA: East Lorain, Ohio COMPANIONS: Sisters Bowles and Haas Hey hey heyyyy! Can you guys believe it's May already?!! Because I CAN'T! Last week for pday we went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park with our DL and his comps and the other sisters in our area. It was NOTHING compared to national parks out west, but it was a nice change of scenery. It was super fun! We were leading the caravan and apparently we were driving ON the mission line! One wrong turn and we would've been out of there, haha. Tuesday was our cumpli mes! Me and haas hit 3 months and Sister Bowles hit 13. We also had two people feed us dinner so that was a little awkward haha. On day we were driving through downtown Lorain and it was so sad. You couldn't tell if the houses were abandoned or people were living in them. We've been having Airbender fights lately just for fun. I'm water, Bowles is earth, and Haasy's fire. It's pretty fun, especially when there's nothing else to do. We found a new person Marco! We went and delivered him a Bible at night at this super sketch motel in Elyria. But he seems interested. Nikole, a 13 year old were teaching, has really been opening up and seeming more interested!! She reminds me of Joe Smith lol. Since we're in Ohio, we can now teach in person outside so that's AWESOME !! We had a video post due for the zone page so we did the one where it's like "God creating his children." We did a bunch of attributes with little cups and bowls of water and then at the end we did "made in His image" and filled our whole trashcan up with water! Hahaha we thought it was pretty funny. We delivered a friendship bracelet to this chick in Lorain. It was so funny! All the houses on the street were so cute and fun and light colors... and hers was black and purple!! THEE most despicable me vibes EVER! Alsooo we forgot the bracelet so we had to go back haha. At the greenhouse we helped Becky with the mother's day vinyl and deadheading the frost damaged plants. Apparently you're supposed to just chop the tops off and they grow back stronger and better. Crazy! Sunday we found a new person Kevin! He's our age and he just messaged me saying he was trying to make some more friends last week sooo now he's meeting with missionaries lol. That's all for this week! Hope everyone's enjoying the weather where they're at. Have and awesome day and an even awesomer week !!! |
