Companion: Sister Balero
Well guys I am in OHIO!!! This has been a busy two weeks so I will start off by writing out my last week at the MTC. Then I Will talk about OHIO. Well I am going to Miss my little trio I had. We had a lot of fun laughing. Then I am also going to miss my District we almost always did gym time together. Last Thursday we played a fun Basketball game and I made one basket. Go me!! Of Course I lost but I am giving myself credit for actually making one basket. Then also on Thursday me and My companions were describing are selves as animals so apparently I am a caterpillar, mouse, angel fish, tiger shark, Jaguar,Mercat, baby blue bird (not a adult just a baby) Reindeer, Pug, and Lizard. So I believe I have almost every type of animal.
On Friday in class we were divided up into groups doing some role playing outside and when we got done Sister Hulse asked If me and Sister Hall saw Elder Holland and we were like No What did u Say and she was like yes Elder Holland. At first we thought that she was kidding around with us being the jokester that she is but even my teacher sister Right saw him. I am so Upset that I did not see him. But I guess he walks around quit often my teacher says oh well.
Then Saturday was are last day of class it was a very emotional sad and happy day. As a class we read 3 Nephi 17 and I encourage you to read it. It is such a powerful chapter about how Jesus encourages the people and loves the children and heals the sick. Wow so powerful the spirit was so strong. Then we also took a district email and a picture of just us four (me, companions, and Sister Right). I am sure going to miss her. I have learned a lot from her. Then after lunch we had class with Brother Ouzt and of course the elders teased him like they always do. The elders thought it would be a fun idea to give him a gift but that gift consisted of a Nike Box, box of Tissues, For the Strength of Youth, a Missionary handbook with some pages highlighted. Then we all wrote notes on the cardboard box. Then we took a really funny selfie together.
Then On Sunday it was are last Sunday and last time we will see the whole district. It was also fast and Testimony meeting. It was really neat everybody in the district went and bare there testimony. It was really neat hearing everyone's experiences at the MTC. Then after testimony meeting we had a district Council and we all just basically shared how the MTC affected us. I basically was crying. I shared about how us sisters prayed for each of the elders one night because we knew each one of them needed something. Then the next day we saw are prayers answered. THE POWER OF PRAYER IS AMAZING!!! Then after class we went to the Sunday Night Devotional. Sister Hall played the piano at the Devotional for the musical number and she did AMAZING. She played a song that she acturally wrote I am not kidding it was beautiful.
OHIO
Well guys Last Monday I got up at 4:30 in the Morning did my last minute packing. Headed on bus then two train stations. Then to the airport. When we got to the airport I was afraid that on of my suitcases were overweight. because I had to put all of my liquid items in one suit case because I needed them for the Mission Home. So as I was in line for bag check I was thinking of things I could move. When it was my turn I weighed the one I knew that would be lighter first which was 47 pounds. Then I put my other one on the scale and it was 49!!! I am so grateful that it was. I did not want to pay $100. Then once we got settled in at the airport I bought some breakfast. Then called my PARENTS. I was so happy to hear there voice. I was worried that I would not be able to call them because I had a hard time figuring out how to use my phone card. But once I read all the directions I was able to talked to them for like 20 minutes. Then once we got on the plane I realized I was sitting in between to of the elders. let me just say Awkward. Then when we got to the airport we walked over to Baggage claim and there was my mission president and his wife and a few of the other missionaries. I know a lot of people were asking about who the other sister was in the picture I bet my mom sent out. So her name is Sister Fox. She was on her mission I do not know where she was serving and she got sick and had to go home and now she is coming back. That is all I really know about here. Once we loaded all of are stuff to the trailer we all hopped into a van and headed over to this park where President and Sister Welch talked about the history of this park. Then after that we played a little scavenger Hunt. After the park we headed to the mission home where we had Cafe Rio. After Cafe Rio we had Ohio Signature Ice Cream and it was really good. Then we did some introductions and I had my interview with my Mission President. After that I went to bed.
The next morning I got up got ready headed downstairs for breakfast. Then we went to a church building had so more introduction stuff and then I met my companion!!! My Companion is Sister Balero and she is pretty cool. She is from Washington and been out for like a Year. Once I met my companion we grabbed my stuff and headed to our car. We then drove a hour and a half to get to SYDNEY OHIO. It is literally the LAND OF CORN. No joke everywhere you look there is corn. We are both Doubled in Which means this is a new area for both of us. So once we got to the apartment there was no food. So of course we went to the grocery store and got grocerys. Then later that night we called the Bishop of are new ward and headed to his house to talk about members and get to know his family. Seriously his wife is the sweetest best person in the ward. She asked us if we went shopping and we said we got the basics and she was like no Sisters you need more then the basics so she took us to her basement and chucked a whole bunch of food, toilet paper, soap, everything in a bag. Then after that we went to a few families homes.
So we are now teaching a part member family and the wife who is not a member wants to be baptize which is so cool. All she needs is the lessons.
Then this weekend was General Conference. WoW a lot of changes. First two hour church is going to be really amazing. I love how they are focusing it on Families and spending more time with your family on Sunday. Then they announced 12 New temples which is so amazing the church is growing so fast.Well that sums up the past two weeks!!
