So you think your smart

11-20-20023

You guys!!!! This week was literally kinda boring, and extremely uneventful until this past weekend. But I hope that y'alls week was good. But because this weekend was so eventful, I do have highlights and a HUGE miracle!! So I hope your ready to read my book.

Highlights:
☆Sister Braun bought a crossword book this week, (Hence the email name) and I know that I'm not like super super smart, but this book has really put us to the test. But it's funny when we're tired. Lol
☆Zone conference on Friday!!! It was literally the pick me up I needed this week!! And (Sorry other missionaries who are reading this before your zone conference) we didn't have role plays!!!! It was fantastic!! 
☆We made a new friend Greg!!
☆We had a lesson with Gerda!!
☆Charles is texting us again!!
☆ Miracle: Elder Gertsch found my phone while in Bellefontaine!!

Friends: 
So Charles still hasn't come to church since we invited him to be baptized, but he has been texting us, so that good.
Gerda is doing good, she's in school, and helping her kids in school, and she works every other weekend, so she busy. But when we met with her yesterday she said that she loves it when we come over, so yay!!
We made a new friend Greg this week!!! He's super cool. He didn't come to church on Sunday, but we're gonna get him!!

So that last highlight, made us realize that we have the best DL ever!!! So yesterday, me being me, I lost my phone while we were doing some store contacting!! (This is where we walk around the store and talk to people) I don't know how or even exactly where it fell out of my bag, but it did. And on a mission, unless your a ZL, or STL, ever companionship has one SIM card for the area. Guess eho had the SIM card? Yep, me.
So I lost my phone with the SIM and so now we can't call or text anyone unless Sister Braun hooks up to some random wifi. So we tell Elder Gertsch and the rest of our district that we lost the phone, and for prayers. Well Elder Gertsch went above and beyond and called my phone, and thankfully someone from Marshall's picked up, and told him where my phone was. So he's trying to tell us, but we have no wifi, so we didn't get them till this morning. But when we did, and we listened to the voice memo he sent about it being in Marshall's, you better believe I was booking it down the sidewalk. I literally ran as fast as I could until I couldn't anymore. And thankfully they did have it!!! Best DL ever!!!! And God is awesome!!

Spiritual thought:
So along with that story, I learned a lot about prayer faith and help from others. You better believe that we were praying as hard as ever, and of course I had faith. I knew that Heavenly Father knew where my phone was and that he could tell me where it was. What I couldn't figure out was why He didn't tell me where it was. This is where the help comes in. I wasn't meant to find my phone, Elder Gertsch was. He acted on what he knew and thought about what to do, and he found my phone while living an hour away! So in this experience, I remembered how important other people are in God's plan for us, and how important it is to ask for help when you need it.

Anyway, that's really all for now. Hope yall have a great week and an amazing Thanksgiving!!!! Love and miss y'all!!
Till 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...
