The mystery of the stuff on my bottoms (6/24/24)

 Hey, hey, hey everyone!!! Another week has flown by and slowly! Idk if that makes sense, so basically it was another fast week with a few slow days! I hope that you all had a fantastic week! And I hope that your not skeletons on the ground beacuse you melted from the the heat! (Hehehehehehe! 🤣🤣) But seriously I hope that your not dying from the heat too much! Anyways, let's read about the week, shall we?

Highlights:
☆ZONE CONFERENCE!!!!! It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Good!!! It was definitely the thing I needed and it did not disappoint!!
☆I opened my ketchup at Zone conference by myself!! (I know that doesn't sound like an accomplishment, but it is. Every Zone conference I have to ask my comp for help to open it, because my hands are slick from opening my sandwich and pulling it out.) But this time, I did it by myself and didn't realize it until Sister Hanamaikai asked me if I opened it. When she learned I did, she said that she was proud of me! 😊😊😆 Man I love the sisters here!
☆Happy-sad, it was the McGuires last Zone conference! (Booooooo! And yay for them to finally going home!🥲🥲) 
☆We drove through Downtown Dayton!! (Sisters aren't allowed to serve there. To dangerous) So on the way back from Zone conference, we actually had a member lesson to go to afterward. So I put their address in Google maps, and it took us through downtown Dayton! So that was a fun little surprise trip!
☆After we got home after Zone conference day was over, I discovered some weird thing in my pants, not a stain but like chocolate. Which made no sense because I hadn't walked through chocolate or anything. So I just put it in the laundry. But the next day, that same thing was on my pants. Well it turns out that the Reese's peanut butter cup I put in my bag had melted! And since it was on my lap, it got on my pants! 😂 So that was our mystery this week!
☆Service! I love doing service! We just put stuff together for this food pantry, but it's still fun cause #1 it is, and #2 it's good working together and talking time with Sister Roberts!
☆We had some awesome lessons this week with our friends! They're all doing so good!! I love them!!
☆One of our friends, James, asked us if we wanted to ride his electric scooter! 😂 I don't think we're allowed to, but it was still funny! 
☆My bestie, well one of them, bought us dinner! And she did right when I needed a pick me up! Thanks Ashley!😊🥰😘❤️
☆Church was really good! We got asked to teach yw, so we did! It was supposed to be just the older girls, but it ended up being everyone! And Bishop snuck in! 😂 But it was all good and they liked it!
☆We went to a members house for dinner right after church and it was good! They were nice enough to give us a ride to their house since they live way far, and they're soo funny! Their daughter just got home from her mission a few weeks ago, so we talked to her and that was good! She also wouldn't stop roasting her younger brother, and it was hilarious!
☆While at this members house, we asked if we could help fo anything, so we helped set the table! I put on forks and everything went as normal. Until we sat down to eat. We prayed and started getting food when the dad asked his son if he put the forks on. I kind stopped what I was doing cause it sounded like something was wrong. He then said that they we're put on the correct side of the plate and said that there was no way it could have been his son!🤣🤣🤣 No one was in trouble, just this poor kid getting getting constantly roasted by his fam🤣🤣

Friends: 
☆Gwen is doing amazing!! She's reading the Book of Mormon everyday (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) And she loves learning and meeting with us! Sadly she had a family reunion, so sje could come to church, but we're hoping for next week!
☆James did come to sacrament meeting!! And he also really loves meeting with us! He's now working on following the word of wisdom and listening to the Book of Mormon!! He's the friend that offered us a ride on his scooter.
☆Jon has a lot of questions! Which is good, it's just some questions that I'm like, 'what?' Anyway, he also needs to come to church, he was supposed to come yesterday,  but we don't know what happened. So hopefully next week!
☆Kevin has actually been going through some rough things right now, so we're working with him on praying daily. 
So yeah!

Spiritual thought: 
I don't know why and I don't remember when, but this week it hit me. It hit me that Heavenly Father does what he does, because He loves us. He gave us bodies and a planet, because He loves us. He gave us a plan, beacus he loves us. He gave us prophets, scriptures and modern revelation, because He loves us. He gave us commandments, because He loves us. I know that I've been taught this all my life, but it finally sank in that everything that has been, that is, and that will be, is because Je loves us. 

Well I hope that you all have a fantastic week! Don't melt! And remember Heavenly Father loves you! And so do I! Write again next 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...
