God's miracles are so AMAZING!!

 Heyo everyone!!!! Hope that the week was as amazing as all of you are!!! My week has been pretty great, so let's jump in!


First transfers happened this week, and don't worry Sister Hansen and I are both still here in Lawrenceburg,  so yay!! We kinda figured we would be, but it's still a great blessing. But unfortunately because the Batesville sisters got ETed, (emergency transfered) we no longer have the Lawrenceburg district, and now we and the Batesville elders are in the Florence District. Which has the DL, ZLs, and STLs. 
Also I can't BELIEVE that my 1 transfer is over!! It's crazy how fast, (or slow) time can go!!

Tuesday: 
Tuesday we had our regular service. And that was good. They sent us home with food afterward, so we got some snacks as we didn't need much else. But Tuesday night was definitely my favorite of this week, and here's why:We had a HUGE miracle this week!
So we went to an apartment complex to go knocking, and there was a sign saying that unauthorized vehicles would be towed. We saw the sign, but didn't think anything of it. So we're knocking, and we come around this one corner, and I didn't feel the spirit anymore. (When we knock we are spirit lead on which door to knock) I just stopped feeling which door to knock, and I was very confused as I thought that maybe I done something wrong to drive the spirit away. Well since the apartments were in a small square, we made it back to our car quickly. And as I went to back Sister Hansen, I was looking to make sure that there were no cars coming, and guess what I saw?
I saw a tow truck just a little ways down the street!!! I tried to signal Sister Hansen to hurry up and back up, (which she didn't but we still got out of there in time:)) I told that I was glad that we had left when we did. She thought it was because of the rain, but I told her what I had seen. So I know, without a doubt, that Heavenly Father is always watching over us. And will always warn us of what's ahead, even when the warning
 isn't what you would've expected it to be.

Wednesday:
We had our regular service, but instead of staying til 1, we stayed until 4! It was fun, but also kind of tiring. Also a photographer came and was taking pictures of the place and people. And he got one of me and Sister Hansen. But I was all hot and sweaty, so probably not the best pic of me, but it also shows that I actually work! (Lol) 

Thursday: 
We had district council,  but bc there were no other sisters we couldn't meet in person for the Lawrenceburg districts last council. (That would be 1-1 elders to sisters, and we can't do that) so we did it over video call. It was still good, I was asked to give the training. I know, me giving a training, being the youngest missionary there?! Crazy! (Lol)
But it did go well, as that was nice. 

Friday nothing exciting happened, but Saturday we went to Cincinnati!! We had to get an oil change, but it's always nice to go somewhere different! Then Saturday night we went to a members house for dinner, and that was soooo fun!! They like to learn and teach through games, so we decided to teach them through a game! We figured out how to play uno and relate it to the gospel, and that told us that it was so fun, and that the way we related it to the gospel was soo clever!! It made Sister Hansen and I very proud as they are really good at doing that sort of thing. 

Spiritual thought:
This week on Facebook I posted about the importance of being who God made you to be. And ever since then, I have been thinking a lot about it. God made you the way your supposed to be. Your personality,  qualities,  and everything that makes you, you. While yes we need to learn progress and grow, we need to do that in a way that makes us a better us, not in a way that makes us a different person. God needed you to be the way you are, so please be that person! 

Other then that not much else happened thus week. But I know that this is a long email, so thank you and congratulations on those of you who made it to the end. 😂
Anyway, hope that you have a fantastic week,  and I will write next week!
Love Sister Alex Hersom!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I added a lot of pic to my Google photos and it won't let me send them all here. (This is literally only a small part) So if you like go look at my album!! Also the pic of the dresser is bc Sister Hansen pranked me and taped my dresser drawer shut!😂

Y'all!! After I sent this I realized that I forgot to add the Google photos link! Sorry, but here it is now! Love y'all!

  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...
