"We have ketchup you can use" (5/6/24)

 Hello, Hello, helllooooooooooo amazing children of God!!! I hope that you had a firely fantastic week, and that you've just loved it! My week was fast and good! So, ya ready? Let's hop to it!!


Highlights:
☆We had a some wonderful member meals this week! Lots of fun families and memories!
☆We were at a members this week and they liked in a really nice area, and they kept us for a long while, (whoops, lol) but they had some really fun stories!!
☆Thursday was ZONE CONFERENCE!!!😍😍😍 I absolutely loved it!! I got to see Sister Braun before she goes home at the end of this month, and we learned some really good tips and tricks! We had Chick-fil-A for lunch!! Every one who spoke was amazing!! I love Zone conference!!
☆The rain this week has been 👌👌! I'm absolutely loving it! 🤩 It's been raining really hard and I really love the rain so yeah! 
☆Church was so good! We had really good testimonies borne and Sunday school was about trusting God and why we should trust Him!
☆We had a lesson with some members right after church, and this little family is so cute! They know alot about a lot of things in the gospel, and it was interesting to listen to them!
☆I got called out at a members home last night! So for a little bit of context, I carry the little packs of ketchup in my bag. For like emergencies and stuff, (I know, I'm weird 🤷‍♀️😂, I promise I didn't do this at home) and well, last night at dinner, Brother Hendricks said Sister? And I said yeah? He goes, we have ketchup right here, so you don't have to use any in your bag. We all started laughing really hard and I explained why I had it. They said that makes sense. It was just really funny! 😂 
☆On top of that, we talked about and quoted movies at dinner, so ya know. That was fun!! I love the Hendricks! (I promise we shared a spiritual message 😅) 

Speaking of funny...
Quotes of the week!:
4/29-5/5
I have no ads in my free trial of death - Sister Lambert saying how she doesn't dream
Happy Churching! - Lady we asked to church
We're not soliciting, we're churching! - Sister Lambert after the lady said that
And thats the doctrine according to Doug! - President McGuire 

Friends:
So, we have no friends/people were teaching right now! We had to stop teaching Matt because he stopped responding to us and everyone keeps telling us no when we invite them to church, but we're trying to start working with this part member family to see if she's interested at all. So we'll see where this goes!

Spiritual thought:
So, did you know that Heavenly Father has a plan for you? Well, He does and it's a lot better then anything we could ever plan for ourselves. Now, is this an easy plan? No. Are we going to fly through it with no problems or pain? We all wish, but that would defeat the whole purpose. God has this plan for us as individuals and families. It's not easy as we're called to go through hard times, and hard things. But this is all for our good, both individually and as a family. Now, this doesn't mean that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ won't help us, because they will. But we still have to do our part, ask for help, but also be patient in those hard times. 
Recently I've been learning to ask in my prayers for help excepting His will. Because let's be honest, sometimes we just don't want to go through trials. So sometimes that help comes in, "please help me to accept thy will, and see the good in it." And even though it probably won't be right away, we will be able to see those blessings and that help.

Well, I think that's it's for this week. We really didn't do a ton. I mean, I hit my 11th month mark yesterday. So yay, and 😬. Guess we'll have to see what this next 7 months holds. Anyway, I hope that you all have a firely fantastic week!! 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...

  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...
