3rd and Final Week at the MTC

 Hey All!!!!! Hope the week for ya was great! Mine was, so let's hop right in.


This week is the third and final week for me here at the MTC, I fly to Ohio on Thursday! Exciting and nerve wracking. The time has just flown by, and it's amazing how much has happened in these past few weeks. 
This week it was announced that a new version of preach my gospel is out online. So that's cool, I'm glad it happened at the beginning of my mission and not in the middle. It was funny because we had been learning lesson 5: Laws and Ordinances that morning. And then early that afternoon the new Preach my Gospel came out, and now lesson 5 no longer exists. Lesson 5 is now dissolved into lesson 4. 
We also got to see all the apostles and lots of the leaders of the church on campus this week, and it's been super cool!

We've gone to the temple this week. Saturday we got to go and observe sealings, and today we did another endowment session. And today will be the last day I will have gone to the temple for awhile, as there is no temple in my mission boundaries. Sad day, but I've heard that they sometimes let the missionaries in Cincinnati go to the Columbus Ohio temple, so we'll have to see what happens. 

Funny stories this week: We learned how to play psychiatrist, and if you've never heard/ learned, you need to go find out how to play bc it's a blast!! Some of the things we come up with are just hilarious, and we can never play with straight faces, it's the best.  
We've discovered how funny Elder Rabner is. He is an umpire, auctioneer, and dr.doofenshmirtz.
I wish I had some videos of that for y'all but I don't. 
We've been playing more wiffleball, we've also played beach volleyball, horseshoes, and kubb. All of which are fun, and I've found out that I'm a decent kubb player.

I've also gotten some chances to play the violin while here at the MTC, and I'm as bad as I thought I was going to be. 

Honestly I wish I could remember every story, and everything that's been happening here. It's gonna be sad when my district is all gone. We're actually/literally the BEST DISTRICT that's ever existed. 

Have a wonderful rest of y'alls week, and next y'all time I write I'll be in Ohio!  
Lots of love and good things, Sister Alex Hersom!!! <3

Also I'll send all the pics in a different email!

  Howdy all! I hope you had an exciting week! I know I did, so let's get started!! Highlights: ☆Tuesday we had district council because transfers are on Thursdays now instead of Fridays. So fun! We had a good quickish council and then Elder Reynolds had a surprise for us. Sister Lilya was getting ready to go home, and apparently when a missionary goes home he does this. We played Jepordy! Yep! It was actually really fun! Sadly I can't remember who won and who lost, but I do remember it was really, really close.  ☆After that we had district lunch!! We went to El Toro, which is a Mexican place, and it was good!  ☆Sadly after that I got sick. Not from the restaurant, I just did. Monday I went to bed with a small scratch in my throat and when I woke up Tuesday morning, it was worse. Sad day. So I spent some sick time.  ☆We did however get to go to a member meal with the Andersons! I love them! They're so fun!!  ☆Tuesday evening we got a call from the APs. And Sister...

The mystery of the stuff on my bottoms (6/24/24)

 Hey, hey, hey everyone!!! Another week has flown by and slowly! Idk if that makes sense, so basically it was another fast week with a few slow days! I hope that you all had a fantastic week! And I hope that your not skeletons on the ground beacuse you melted from the the heat! (Hehehehehehe! 🤣🤣) But seriously I hope that your not dying from the heat too much! Anyways, let's read about the week, shall we? Highlights: ☆ZONE CONFERENCE!!!!! It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Good!!! It was definitely the thing I needed and it did not disappoint!! ☆I opened my ketchup at Zone conference by myself!! (I know that doesn't sound like an accomplishment, but it is. Every Zone conference I have to ask my comp for help to open it, because my hands are slick from opening my sandwich and pulling it out.) But this time, I did it by myself and didn't realize it until Sister Hanamaikai asked me if I opened it. When she learned I did, she said that she was proud of me! 😊😊😆 Man I...
