NO! My dignity!! It's dying before my eyes! - Sister Lambert in the same convo

I am an unhigned potato with a knife - Sister Lambert 
This is the only man I need in my life. Besides Jesus - Sister Lambert talking about her dragon
Awww, he's got a cute, big butt - Sister Lambert still talking about her dragon 

Friends: (Sorry, I totally forgot this part last week, my bad!)
☆Alexander we had to let go for right now, he stopped responding to us. Sad day! But God's got him so.
☆Geri is in the hospital, and we're praying that she gets better soon! (Idk if I told you about her, she was a referral from awhile ago, and we couldn't get in contact with her, so we dropped her. Then she made another referral and we tried again, and she was home!)
☆Matt!! He's our new friend and he's awesome!!! He came to church and has an open mind!! He was so excited to get a Book of Mormon, and he wants to bring his kids!!

Spiritual thought:
I don't know why this week, but I just forgot how much Heavenly Father loves me. And so all this week, I've received emails from family members who kept reminding me of that, and then to tie it all off, we basically had all the seminary youth take over sacrament meeting today, and the song that they sang really touched me. It was such a beautiful reminder to me that Heavenly Father loves me, and is looking out for me!🥰 And we had a member meal last night, and she was telling us that telling people about the gospel is a success and that sharing and living what we believe is a success, and honestly it was really helpful and a great reminder, along with the rest of the small things Heavenly Father gave me this week, to end another week! So remember, Heavenly Father loves you, and he will take every opportunity He has to show you that!🥰❤️ 

Well my dear friends and family, I think that's it! I hope that you all have a fantastic rest of your day, and week! And that you will see Heavenly Father's love and hand in your life!
Write again soon! 
Love Sister Alex Hersom!

As you can see in the pictures, saying goodbye is never an easy thing to do! This is Alex's MTC Companion Sister Thayne

Anyway I'm sure that your all dying to know how I've been, so let's jump in!! Tuesday: Service and interviews Tuesday we had our regular service and that eveing we had interviews. Service was good, I asked the people we were working with why is it called a shipment in a car, and cargo on a ship. The guy who answered tried his best to explain,  but I just kept making it harder, but it was funny!  Interviews went well, for me anyway. President McGuire was just asking how I was adjusting and all that stuff, so it went well.  Wednesday: Service Wednesday we really didn't do anything to exciting, we did our service in the morning, and then we did find

  Helloooooo all!!! How was the week? Mine was a bit crazy, so here we go!! Wednesday we said goodbye to the mtc, and our district :((( Hope to see you soon 10-G.  Thursday we had to get up very early, finished packing. And then left to catch our plane. The flight to Ohio was good, a little bumpy because of some turbulence, but after that it was smooth. We landed in Ohio, got our group together,(or so we thought as we later discovered that one of the sisters who came with us wasn't in our group) but it's all good, because she found us. Met the mission president, his wife, and assistants, and then off we went to the mission home.  Fun fact: the Cincinnati Airport is actually in Kentucky, so we had to drive to Cincinnati.  We stayed at the mission home the first night, and then Friday morning we were off to get assigned to trainers and areas! All the sisters in my district that came to Cincinnati with me,(sisters Dahle, Wilkes, and Thayne) are all in different areas, spread out a
