I'm NOT old!!!! 👵🚫 (4-8-24)

 Hello, Hello!! How was y'alls week?!?! Mine was fantastic and here's why!!!


Highlights:
☆Sadly, Makayla started bashing us really hard and dropped us. But that's OK! She's not ready, and that's ok!
☆Wednesday we went to a small town in our area called Jamestown! It was fun, but really small. Also as we were walking around town, it started hailing! 😅 (the video is in my Google photos album)
☆Thursday we had interviews, and let me tell you, President knows! This interview was really good and honestly an answer to prayer, so, Yay!!
☆I hit 10 months on the Mission on Friday! 🥹😅🫣 My past and present comps keep calling me an old missionary, which I am not!!
☆We've gotten into some more member homes this week!! We had really good meals! And then one member talked the whole time and barely let us say a word, but it's what she needed, so!
☆And then we had the glorious General Conference!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥳🎉🥳🎉🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍 We were at different member homes for every session!! (Exepct the 6pm one, cause that's 8pm here) There were so many good talks, and so much good advice given!! 
☆The announcement of 15 new temples!!🥳🥳🎉🎉
☆GUYS!! MY MISSION IS GETTING A TEMPLE!!!😭😭🥹😭😭🥹😭🥹😭🥹 I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR 10 MONTHS!!!😭🥹😭🥹❤️❤️ This is by far, one of the biggest miracles/blessings I've received on my mission so far! And I will forever be grateful for the fact that was serving my mission when the Cincinnati Ohio temple was announced! 

Quotes:
4/1-4/7
Bruh! I just want my fruitsnacks! - Sister Lambert in my whiny voice
Ow! Its shiny and in my eyes! - Me when the light bounced off the phone and into my eyes
Free napkins with any purchase - the subway sign in Jamestown 🤦‍♀️
(Also I saw a yellow speed limit sign)

Friends:
Makayla dropped us, but it's OK because she bashed us a lot and hard, and she's not ready.
☆Alexander!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 We met him yesterday while visiting people who used to be taught! He was outside mowing his lawn, and he's our new friend!! (He lives in our area!!) We're calling him again on Tuesday, so be prepared!

Spiritual thought:
I love prayer! Lately I've been praying and asking some questions to Heavenly Father, and the answers came in my interview with President McGuire and in General Conference! President helped ease my heart and helped reassure me that me and my comps efforts are, indeed, enough! And then I will forever be grateful for the missionaries who have served, are serving, and will serve in the Ohio Cincinnati mission, and all the members in there efforts to get us a Temple! The Lord's work is truly hastening, and I'm forever grateful to be a part of it! 

Well,I think that's it for this week! We really didn't have too much going on. Just interviews and General Conference! We'll, we are having a solar eclipse today! We're in the totally zone! Meaning it should get completely dark!! Im excited!! Transfers are this week, so we'll see what happens! Thank you all for your continued love, support, prayers and everything else!! Love you all so much! Write again next week! 
Love Sister Alex Hersom!

From babies to mamas (7/15/24)

  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! So let's see what happened: Highlights:  ☆It poured rain on Tuesday and I absolutely loved it!! ☆The weather has cooled down since it's been raining, so that's been nice! ☆It's also been windy lately which is nice when we're outside! ☆Sister Roberts thought it would be funny to scare me, so she did. And I let out this really delayed, really dramatic scream. She didn't even scare me that bad, yet here we are. (You better watch out Sister Roberts, payback is coming) ☆We had District council this week! Yay! (We didn't have it last week because of Zone conference) ☆We had some good lessons with friends this week!  ☆The circus came to town!!! It's cool to see! ☆Sister Roberts loves to take pictures of me wearing my sunglasses, it...

Trio life in Beavercreek (3/11/24)

  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...
