Transfer 6 = DL #5, wait what? (1/29/24)

 Hey all, imma make this a bit shorter today. But I'm alive in case yall were wondering. And it sounds like you all are too! 

This week was probably one of the most eventful weeks of my mission. Both good and things that will be good in the future.

Highlights:
☆Sister Richmond and I went bowling!!! It was soooo fun! And we both won one round!
☆District council and District lunch!! Both were fun! Sister Richmond gave the best spiritual thought! (Obvi) and for our role play, we practiced inviting youth to join us in the work. I played a youth who couldn't help bc they were going to a Bengals game! (I don't really care for football, so it was funny!) Then we went to Chipotle for lunch. (Chi-pot-l is my new way if saying it thanks to Sister Richmond) and when I asked the elders if they love their mom forever, Elder Reynolds said yes, but elder Cook shook his head no! So I said: "You don't love your mom?!?" And he was like, "oh yeah, I thought you said live with your mom. Yes I love my mom" oof! 😂 
☆Sister Richmond and I danced in the rain!
☆We got to host a hermana who got her visa to go to Columbia! It was so fun! We got to take her to the airport and we got to drive the APs truck!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 so we thought we were taking her to the airport at 7am, but she really needed to be there at 3am!! So we got up and packed the truck Friday morning and drove to the airport! (We don't normally take the sisters to the airport, it's usually the APs or a senior couple) so I've driven through downtown Cincinnati at night in the APs truck!! 
☆I drove into transfers on Friday morning in the APs truck and everyone's looks of jealousy was actually the best! (I know that it sounds wrong, but I love it!) This is literally the biggest brag of my mission! (So far, but probably ever honestly)
☆Stake conference was really really good! 

Well since you read that we went to transfers, you're probably wondering what happened. Sad to say, (like I really am sad) but Sister Richmond got transferred to Lawrenceburg Indiana. So, so bittersweet!
My new comp is Sister Eidemiller and I'm killing her. (This just means that she's going home at the end of this transfer, and I'm her last comp. So I'm killing her) she's pretty nice. So yeah!

Quotes:
Ah ha! I decapitated it! - Sister Richmond after taking the cap off of a container
I thought you said your soul is a tired moose - Sister Richmond 
We dont get what we want now, the lord has us wait. - Sister Bryant
The lord has us wait because he has a better plan, he has something even better for us
Let me cross the street, i have souls to find! - Sister Eidemiller 
He looked like a drug dealer - President McGuire talking abour his neighbor when they first moved to Washington 

Spiritual thought: 
The Lord allows us to go through hard things. It's hard in the moment, and we wonder what we need to learn from it. And maybe it was even hard afterward. But I can promise you that the Lord is there with you, every step of the way, guiding you. Even carrying you. Just think of the "Footprints in the sand" poem.

Well I love y'all! Thanks for reading my updates! And I hope that y'all have a great 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...
