Highlights: 
(Biggest highlights)
☆☆☆I GOT TO SEE SISTER RICHMOND!!!!!🥳🥳🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩😍😍🥰🥰😊😊 We had a fantastic zone conference on Saturday and because Elder Haynie from the 70 was there, all the Cincinnati zones were there. So I got to see her!! 🤩🤩🤩 I'd been looking forward to it all week, which honestly made it go kinda slow, but it was worth it! 😁😁 (P.s, love ya Sister Richmond!❤️😍🥰)
☆☆SHAINIECE AND TAYLOR CAME TO CHURCH!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎊🎊🎂🎊🎉🥳🥳🤩🤩🎉🎊🎂🎊🎉🥳🥳🥳 They could only stay for sacrament meeting, but they came just as they said!!🥹🥹🥹 It made my whole morning!!
(Other highlights) 
☆We've had lots of member lessons and slightly more dinners recently, and it's been good to help the members and connect with them more! 
☆We had a really great Zone conference with Elder Haynie!! He said some really great stuff that definitely got me thinking! And on top of that, I got to see all my past comps! Except Sister Braun who's in the Dayton zone! (I mean good gravy Sister Braun, like seriously!🙄🤣😉🫰) 
☆We had our district activity on Monday! We went bowling! And it was so fun! I didn't do great, but it's all good! 
☆We got asked to make a video for our zone conference trainings! So we made one and worked on it and sent it off. Then they told us that they asked multiple missionaries, so then the APs were going to watch them and pick one. So we'll see
☆We helped pack commissary!! That was super fun! And we got to see some other sisters!!


Friends:
☆Shainiece and Taylor: THEY CAME TO CHURCH!! Now they just need to keep coming, then they'll be ready for baptism 😎
☆Larry: You guys I'm literally so PROUD of this man!!! He's been doing so good cutting back on smoking and other wow things!!! He also needs to come to church, and he's doing so good!

(These are our most progressing friends rn, we have more, and when they progress a bit more, I'll put them in here.:))

Spiritual thought:
The thought came to me recently, "the faith to listen." Elder Wilford W Andersen gave a BYUI devo called: "The Faith to Reap" (its really good, we had to read it for a zone conferencewe had a few months ago) anyway, in this talk, he talks about 2 kinds of faith. 1: The faith to try, and 2: The faith to reap. The faith to try is, well just as it sounds, but you only try and don't really go much further than that. The faith to reap, however, goes beyond trying, and is the faith to keep trying, and to preserve through the hard times, and come up with solutions to problems and such. Now how does the Faith to listen play into this? If we have the faith to try, and then go past that and have the faith to reap, the next part should be the faith to listen. This is when we're reaping and doing our best, and also asking Heavenly Father for help. Now in doing so, we need to have the faith to listen. To look and listen for the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Because as we're trying our best, we also have to constantly being listening for the Holy Ghost and the ideas that come from him. This is something that I've been working on this week, and I encourage you to try it as well. And as you do this, I know that you will be able to recognize the Holy Ghost, and the hand of the Lord more in your life!!

Well my amazing friends and family, I think that's about it this week!! Nothing to exciting, but nothing short of fun and a missionary adventure!! I love you all! Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope that you have a fantastic 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...
