I fell in love with a cow!! (4-1-24)

 Howdy, howdy everyone!! This week was literally so busy but soooo good!! So I guess we should dive right in since kinda a lot happened!

Highlights:
☆We had exchanges! It was good! The STLs bought us a blizzard beacuse we won!! We beat the STLs in how many ponds we could be in each day before exchanges! 
☆OK, quick story time! So we were doing some quick store contacting a little bit before exchanges, and as we were walking down this aisle, there was a cow on the self. Your probably thinking 'ok, it's a cow?' WELL, Pyper you would be very proud of me, because I immediately fell in love with this cow! She's the cutest cow ever!! Her name is Kelly Calfson and I had to have her! So I bought her!🥰 I now own a cow! (Jealous Pyper?😉🤣 love ya!) 
☆Zone Conference!!! Oooh man! Zone conference was actually amazing!!! Loved it!!! It was absolute fire and I learned a lot! There was a lot about how we can better learn to Hear Him, and better have faith and a desire to do the work! 
☆Funny story from Zoco! So at the end of every Zone conference we sing hymn #243 "Let us all press on" to finish hyping us up as missionaries. And every chorus President McGuire always puts his hands on his ears to hear us sing the line "Fear not!!" As strong as we can, as well as the rest of the chorus. And this conference I decided to just go for it. Even if I didn't sound on key. And right after we sang and were sitting down for prayer, President looked at me and said "Nice job, I heard you that time!" Thanks President! Glad you heard me! 😂
☆Friday was just wild! We did some knocking/dot hopping/ street contacting and literally right after we got in our car to leave, some solicitors showed up. Was that our good timing? I don't think so! Then we also had a really good member meal with a part member family! He was at work, (he's the non-member) but she was sooo sweet! And fun!
☆Also this week we had a member meal with a fun family and they showed us a really cool Book of Mormon game, so now we play it sometimes!
☆We had a ward Easter brunch!! Man I miss ward parties! It was good! The food was good, and so was the program!
☆Easter Sunday was so good! There was a lot of good songs for sacramentmeeting! It was very uplifting! And then the member dinner! It was literally the pick me up we all needed! And they gave us an Easter basket!! They're so sweet!!
☆It's finally warming up!! It's been so nice!

Friend:
☆Makayla! She's doing pretty good! We went back over this week and she's doing good. She finally accepted getting a Book of Mormon, and she got gospel library so she can do all the research she wants and it's all from reliable sources and accurate! 
(Honestly, we have no idea how much longer we'll be teaching her, beacuse she's not super ready, but it's a big step for her!!)

Spiritual thought:
Well, honestly it's been kinda hard this weekend. This week was fast and then it all stopped at Friday. So its been a bit hard, but that's why God gives us friends and family! I'm so grateful for the companions that I've had in the past and the ones I have right now. They've been able to help me through hard times in my days, and understand me a little. Take time to think about the people in your life that God has given you. How have they helped you? What did you appreciate that they did for you? And of course we can't forget Jesus Christ! Because of Him we can!

Well, that's about it for this week! I hope that you all had a fantastic Easter and that it was one fantastic week! I love you all and I'll write again next week! Have the best week ever! 
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-ho people-o!! (There's a new one for ya!!) Hope that you've all been well, and that it hasn't been to overwhelmingly hot for ya! My week was good, honestly pretty uneventful as of big things so. All good, all good!

  Hello! Hello! How was the week? Was it good? Or hard? Or in between? I'd love to hear about it!! Anyway my week was good, from my title toy can honestly probably guess what it's about, so here's the full story! Highlights: ☆Tuesday I hit 9 months!! And that was fun! Honestly the day was kinda rough as Facebook kicked everyone off and I couldn't remember my password and ultimately Sister Hopes had to get a new Facebook. But aside from that we got a ton of balloons from it, and Chick-fil-A! So, ya know, good! ☆Wednesday we waited alllllllllll day(!) For transfer news that wouldn't come til after 9pm. So when we finally forgot that they were coming, transfer news came! So Sister Hopes and I stayed and we also got another companion! And I'm senior comp now! (😁😱)  ☆District council!!! It was so good!! And fun!! And the testimonies were fire, and so was Sister Tolman getting her spirit animal! (Which we got to help with, as elder Stevenson asked us for suggestions...
