4 DLs in 4 Transfers

 Hey all!! How are you?? How's life?? How was Halloween? And yeah! My week was so good, so fast! And obviously fire!! Anyway, so let's jump in! Btw this week I'm not going to do days, just highlights and such bc I don't want to type out everything! (Lol)


Highlights:
☆Halloween we had to stay inside that evening, so we didn't get mixed in with the trick-or-treaters, which is fair. So our mission leaders put on a kahoot for us and Jepordy. The Kahoot was more fun then the Jepordy, but still both a blast!!
☆English class was up in numbers on Sunday!! We had like 20 ppl!! Yay!! I got to help in English! It was a blast!!
☆Also at the end of English Elder Tippetts and Sister Braun put a table away nicely and then Elder Sainsbury and I went to put away the next one, and completely butchered putting it away. We messed up. So I said something like: Us Idahons messed up. He was like "yeah they let us Idahons cook!" I started laughing. And then I told him about the "Let them cook" MTC story! (Remember that 10-G 🤣🤣🤣)
☆I hit 5 months on the Mission!!
☆I got to see Helaman's baptism!! And while on zoom I also got to see Sister Wagstaff from the primary and I loved it!!! 
☆ Transfers happened and I'm still with Sister Braun in Springfield!!
☆We brought doughnuts to our last district council!
☆We were in taco bell one night doing our tasks and such, when the Creole elders pulled up. Elder Dujardin stood outside the door, and tried to convince us to switch so they could have taco bell! 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry elders! We were there first!
☆Elder K Brett Nattress of the 70 came to stake conference and it was soooooooooo Fire!!!! (He's the guy that talked in April General Conference about the kid named Danny who made a Miraculous comeback from meth.)

Friends:
☆Charles is fire!! He's says that he's still not ready for baptism yet, but tomorrow for our lesson where going to go over the Baptismal interview questions with him! Do yay and ahh! Wish us luck! And pray! 
☆We made a new friend!! Her name is Gerda, (Jer-da) and she's so fire!! She says that she had a relationship with Jesus Christ, and wants to make it better!! Yay!!!
We have other friends too, but their progressing more slowly so, yeah. Their good too!!

As for the title of this email, I'm now in my 4th transfer of the mission and in all of my transfers, I've had a different DL. Despite being in the same area. This transfer instead of Elder Dujardin, it's Elder Gertsch. Who's been out as long as I have, (he literally came out with me.) And he's training again. (His first Elder that he was training went to his original assignment in the Marshall Islands. Good luck Elder Terry!)
So yeah. 

Spiritual thought:
This week I've been thinking about recognizing the miracles in out everyday lives! Remember last week when I talked about the natural man desires, and how you should give them to God? Will this week I'm continuing that thought with the other half of it! After giving our desires to God, we then need to look for the miracles that God gives us. I've noticed this week as I've given my desires to God, all the miracles that He's given me! So don't forget to look for them!!

Love you all thanks for your love and support!! Hope that you have a fire week and I will write again 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...

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...
