Busiest Week Yet!!

 Hey everyone!!!! How was the week?!?! 

I hope that it was amazing! And I always love hearing from you!!! Well I had a busy week so let's jump in!

Tuesday: Zone conference!!!
Zone conference was sooooo good! I got to see 2 out of my 8 MTC besties! Sisters Dahle and Thayne! And the conference was pretty great to! (LOL) we learned about how to baptize in 6 weeks, and we talked about how to raise our spiritual bar/goals. And it was really good. 

Wednesday: Service and lessons!
Wednesday we had our regular service at the food pantry, which is always fun. And we also had our first in person meeting with David!! Yay! He still wants to learn, and be baptized so that's good! The only thing about it though is he's going through a really hard time right with evening his life! So tha k you for your prayers for him to want to meet with us, and please continue to pray for him, as he figures out his life right now so he can keep progressing towards baptism! 
We also have Derek! He's a new friend we're teaching, and he came to us!!! He's from a part member family,  and he's the non-member. His wife and kids are, and he says that now he's finally ready to learn! He's says that he knows that when we're doing teaching him, he's getting baptized (!) But he just figured that he should take the steps to get there!! So we're really excited for him!! 

Thursday: Service,  and members!
Thursday we went to court!! The judge needed to see us, because Sister Hansen ran too many stop lights like right after they turned red. Oof! 
JK!!! We went because there's a bunch of documents there that family search doesn't have, so we're sorting them, and digitalizing them for family search, and it's actually really fun! And then that afternoon we helped a part member family move some furniture. Afterwards went in to talk for a few minutes, and they had puppies!!! They were so fun and sweet! Then that night we had a part member family meal and that was soooooooo fun!!! Hope yall are proud of me because for those of you who k own me well thus next part might shock you. For dinner we had ribs, watermelon,  and a salad made of tomatoes, onions and cucumbers! And guess what, I ate all of that!!! (Mind explosion!) I hate watermelon and non of the veggies I like, but I ate them anyway! Also the ribs weren't super bad, they actually were pretty good! 

Friday: Weekly planning and exchanges!
Friday is weekly planning day, where we sit down and plan our goals and other things for the week. Had meetings, and the started exchanges! For those of you who might not know, exchanges are where we going to our STLs (sister training leaders) house, stay the night, and trade comps for the day. So for have the time I was with one STL, and the other half I was with the other. I learned a lot! I was very confident when inviting others to church when I was there, so that's what I'm going to work on this week. And then that night we had on unicorn face masks and played a really fun game. But the masks were kinda creepy.

Saturday: Exchanges and Sister Hansen's Bday!
So on Saturday we discussed the rest of our exchanges,  and celebrated Sister Hansen's b-day. We had lunch at Chick-fil-A. And it was good. Then after dinner and cupcakes, (the stls made them for sister Hansens bday) we came home and did some finding and Sister Hansen's mom had sent some stuff for her b-day so I made the brownies that were in there. 

Sunday: Church and the Deckers!
Yesterday we went to church, and then we went to the Deckers, (Derek and his fam) house for dinner! And guess what? I tripped and fell! Sister Hansen and I were laughing, but the poor kids didn't know what to do! But it was still funny. 

Well that's about all I have to say this week. Hope I get to hear from yall soon! Write next week! 
Love Sister Alex Hersom!

And these two would be from her Zone Meeting.

  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...

 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...
