When ya just keep getting called out! (1/8/24)

 Hey everyone!!! How's it going?!? How's life?!?! How was winter break?!? How was your week?? I know mine was the same Western Hills wacky! So I'm guessing that you'd like to hear about it? Ok then keep reading!!



Highlights:
☆I let Sister Richmond cut my hair! (I'll leave a pic down below) 
☆We had some great member dinners this week! We love members!!
☆We had zone conference which was really really good!! And we got the new Preach My Gospel!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩
☆We went on a hike for our morning exercise, and that was fun! And I'm not dead!! (The trail was kinda muddy from all the recent rain, so yeah)
☆President really likes to call me out rn! It's kinda funny! He's done it 2x while on our mission zoom, and he also did it at zone conference. The first time was one Tuesday night while one our mission zoom. President told us that we get to have a special extra district activity this Friday because we hit our mission goal of 223 baptisms in the year 2023!! (We actually exceeded that and hit 225 baptisms!!) Then he told us who our new mission president will be as of July. He showed us the new mission president, and his wife's, picture and said that they would be the new president for all the missionaries who will still be here in July. So I raised my hand for fun because I will be here in July, and Sister Richmond started pointing at me. Then president laughed and said, : Sister Hersom will be here." Sister Richmond and I started laughing so hard. Then the next day zone conference president was saying how we should say something in our zone chats and then call out someone else. His example was: "Sister Pope gives something she learned from personal study that morning, then she'd tag, (pauses and looks around for .5 seconds) Sister Hersom." I looked up at him and gave a thumbs up. I was kinda shocked ad I wasn't expecting that. Then last night during our mission devo, he asked me if we saw their new granddaughter that Sister McGuire is with rn. Sadly we didn't get to see her, but their grandkids are cute from what we did see!!

Friends 🤩🤩:
☆Shainiece and Taylor: Y'all please pray for them!! They really, really, really want to come to church, but the adversary is working on them so hard rn it's not even funny! But we're doing our best, and doing our best to help them, kick his butt!!!! 
☆Larry has been really busy lately so we haven't had much of a chance to talk to him, but we're still trying!
☆Shawn! We met Shawn on Saturday at the bus stop! He's really cool, but definitely has some word of wisdom issues, so we'll work with him on that. 
☆Alicia we found cold texting this week! She came for a church tour, but sadly had to leave right before church started. But she wants to come next week with her daughter!!

Spiritual thought:
This week as I started reading Preach My Gospel, I came to the part in chapter 1 where it talks about the power and authority that we have as missionaries. I often forget how much power my calling as a missionary holds. I am a set apart representative of Jesus Christ and I have the power and authority to act as such. The same applies to callings at church. You have been called by God and set apart to do that specific calling. And you won't be alone in doing so, because God and Jesus Christ are helping you through, quite literally, everything!! 

Well my dear family and friends I think thats it for this week!! Hope that your week is magical and fun!! I love you all!!
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...
