Rain, and the wind, and the circus, oh my! (7/1/24)

 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's her new favorite thing.
☆I found a really good devotional on Gospel Library by Sister Wendy Nelson. It was really good!
☆General Conference talks are literally what I need, when I need it!!
☆Church was really good!
☆GWEN CAME TO CHURCH!!! THE WHOLE THING!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉😊🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎊🥳

(There was honestly probably more that I missed. Sorry guys!) 

Friends:
☆Gwen came to church and is doing really good. She's still working on word of wisdom, but is doing soo good with it!
☆James we sadly had to pass to the elders because he lives like 2 minutes outside of our area. (Sad day! Darn weird boundary lines!) But he took to the elders pretty well, so that's good!
☆Jon is doing good. He still asks questions, but he's got some good friends in church so, yay!
We have a few more, but these are the friends that are doing the best right now, everyone else is kinda at the same beginning level.

Spiritual thought:
Throughout my mission so far, I've been learning the importance of having the spirit with us at all times. I know that I 100% feel a difference when I'm doing good and have the spirit with me, versus days that I don't realize I made a mistake and don't have the spirit with me as strong. What I have come to realize when the spirit is with me, he guides me a lot through my day. Whether it's to tell me what to say, where to go, an answer to prayer, or to comfort me when it's hard. I have come to love having the spirit with me at all times, and when I notice that he's not as prominent or he's just not there. That's when I know I need to repent beacuse I did something wrong. (Did I also mention how wonderful repentance is?) 

Ok y'all, I think that's it for this week. This next week we have interviews and we'll get to meet president Rasmussen for the first time in person!😁😬 So yeah! I hope that you all have a fantastic week! Go swimming, and go to the temple for me! I really, really miss the temple and I also miss swimming, but not as much as I miss the temple. Anyway, have a great 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...

  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...
