  Hi Everyone!! It was another biking week!! One time while biking, my bike light popped off into the road. I pulled off onto the side walk, and in slowmotion I stood next to the section of road where it was, watching the oncoming traffic come to smash my little light, but eventually the cars passed and I was able to snatch it up from the road and it's still fully functional. HAHA, such a tense moment.  I got to go on an exchange with Sister Hart. She is just too cool. I love her attitude and love for the Gospel! We had another lesson with Niyah and Maro, and some of our other friends. Nancy couldn't meet again this week. Nancy from the other missionaries didn't come to our church this week Hope we didn't fail the test....  A lot of cool things happened, I promise, I just don't remember what they are.  Had a resto with a really hard hearted lady, then had a lesson with a lady who was willing to listen and understand, it was such a difference! Billie is AWESOME! We d...

  Hey Everyone! You know you've been a missionary too long when you make bathroom breaks a proselyting activity. Lol. This week all three of us had to use the bathroom, VERY BAD! We decided to make the 30 minute drive home, but as we were driving we remembered that a friend missionaries in our district are teaching lives in this part of town in our area. This friend is resolved to be baptized into the ward she's been going to, because she doesn't want to come to the North Vernon ward. Anyway, needing to use the bathroom seemed like a normal and natural way to introduce ourselves to her (since she lives in our area). It was a great contact lol, maybe an inspired bathroom break? Don't know if we can change her mind, but at least some seeds were planted. <3 We had MLC, which was a long meeting, and a long drive lol.  We also had a lesson with Patty. It's been a while since we've had a lesson. The update on the smoking...They haven't been smoking. Period. The...

  Hi Everyone! Life advice: Be careful what you wish for.  This past week we've had a meeting after 9pm over zoom every single night. We've been so exhausted. Sister Pope and I went on an exchange with Sister Hansen, and I was 70% zombie. Especially after sleeping on the floor with a lot of noise, well, maybe I should say, laying on the floor during the night, don't know if I actually slept... But when we got home, after finishing the exchange (after going to another zoom meeting) it was 9:30 and we were all exhausted. So early bedtime that night.  But Sister SilvaCaycedo has been sick this weekend, so we were wishing for some time to rest all week, but when it came on Saturday and Sunday, it's been kinda boring. I did learn how to play Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza for the first time. That game is crazy. Haha, but Sister Pope is so good at it. Your girl is ready to find, teach and serve! But we met a new friend Maro at the park. We've had 2 lessons with him and have a...
