It's Finally Starting

Hellooo all!! How was your week?!?! I hope that it was amazing! I'm sure that y'all can't wait to hear about mine so here we go!

This week we started doing the service that was written down. So that's fun! Tuesday we are at a warehouse food for the homeless/ people who need extra help sorta thing. We just bag food to send it to other places and that's fun. Wednesday we work in a similar place but this one does clothes and food, so that fun too. Most there we just organize the stuff there. 
Thursday we had district council, which was good. The only problem is that it's an hour away from where we live, but the other to sets of missionaries in our district live there because that's their area. So, lots of travel time on Thursdays! 
Friday we went to a less active members house and we were there for 3 hours. We had some great conversations,  and it was fun getting to know her! 
Saturday we didn't really do anything too fun. Except it finally happened. After months of not doing it, I came back to get me....
I tripped off the sidewalk! (Lol) And I got the banged up knee to prove it! 
And yesterday we went to church, and Sister Hansen and I had to give a talk. We talked about the importance of friends, and they both went well. Then later we went to a members house for dinner, and that was good too. 
Today we had our district activity, and that was fun! We had lunch and played card games. But it was still fun.

We finally get to meet with David on Wednesday! He still really wants to be baptized,  but you can tell that he's hesitant to meet with us sisters, so I hope it goes well. And I started talking to this guy through texting, and it's going really well! So please continue to pray for David that he will meet with us, and keep progressing! 

Spiritual thought: 
God did not create us to be alone.  
Yes he created men and women for us, so we could get married and have families. But he also created us to have friends.  
Friends are important because it's someone else who can relate, and have fun with you and help change up our daily lives. I encourage you to be grateful for the friends you have, and always be looking to grow your friends/friendships! 

I love hearing from you all! And can't wait to see what y'all are up too!! Until next week,
Love Sister Alex Hersom!!

  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...
