March 2nd - 8th

 MONDAY: We finally had a lesson with Travis after a month of knowing him! His sleep schedule is all over the place so it's hard finding a time to meet with him but we were able to teach him the restoration! He loves everything about the falling away and he said it just makes sense the way it all happened. Which is so awesome! And then we taught him about the Book of Mormon and gave him a copy, something so so so amazing is he decided to flip to a random page and read a random verse and he literally flipped to Mosiah 15 which talks all about the restoration and the verse he read was exactly what we were just talking about! God is seriously SO GOOD! 

TUESDAY: Not too much happened. We had a lesson with José, did personal studies, knocked for a little, deep cleaned our apartment, and got a sweet treat from DQ.

WEDNESDAY: Such an AMAZING day! We did our district meeting here in Concordia which was awesome because it saved us 2 hours of travel. And then we all went to eat at pizza hut and got a ton of food to split. After that since our district was in our area they were able to work our area for about an hour and they found 2 new people to teach! Sister Larsen and I also found someone. And since the Spanish elders were here they had a lesson with our friend José in spanish which was super cool because they were able to teach him a little more to his understanding. After that, Sister Larsen and I did some service of organizing tupperware. Then we had dinner at the theobalds and they fed us lasagna and ice cream! Fun fact about me: those are some of my comfort and favorite foods! God is so good.

THURSDAY: I couldn’t stop laughing, everything was making me laugh this day. We had a ton of pop up lessons which was awesome! We got to read with Darrell which always makes my day! And everything he was saying made me laugh so hard. And then we had a super good lesson with Hayley and Kyle about the priesthood and the spirit was so strong! Hayley played us some primary songs after the lesson too which was super nostalgic. When we got home the elders called us into a card game which was so sweet of them to include us! It was actually so funny though because it felt like we were a fly on the wall in the elders apartment because they definitely forgot we were on the phone a couple of times and it was just fun to see all of them hanging out together.

FRIDAY: Tornado watch!! this day started out super warm and nice weather and we had 7 lessons planned which was awesome! We had our personal study interrupted by a knock on the door by 2 workers who were here to fix something in the house, so we had to leave somewhere else to study (we can’t be in the house when people are working in the house) so we went out to this cute breakfast place and ran into someone we knew there so RIP personal and companion study. (We loved hanging out with our friend tho♡) And then in a split second we had 3 lessons fall through, and got rained out midway through a lesson! After all of this we were out knocking and we got news that we had to go home due to a tornado watch! But it was great because we ate tacos, called some people, and we got our study time back!!! God is so good! There was no actual tornado other than whatever whirlwind today was.  

SATURDAY: Doc Drop! For transfers we do this thing called Doc Drop where the mission President sends out a Google doc just saying if you're transferring to a new area or not. All day me and sister Larsen were making predictions for our whole district of who's leaving or staying. President Terry really does not like splitting people up when they are in training and he pretty much told us that unless God tells him otherwise that we would be staying together. Well I guess God told him otherwise because me and sister Larsen are both transferring out of this area!! WHAT! When me and sister Larsen saw that we were both leaving we screamed! It's crazy though because they don't tell us where we are transferring to or who our new companion is until the day of transfers. But it's so so so sad because José is on date to be baptized 4 days after we leave!!! We are so sad. And I'm just super sad to be leaving sister Larsen too. But I know that it's all apart of God's plan and hopefully I will be able to learn and grow so much for the last part of my training with my new trainer and new area. God's plan not mine♡

SUNDAY: Since we are leaving on Tuesday this was our last day to see all of our friends. We got to see quite a few friends at church and say goodbye there but there's a lot of friends I won't get to say goodbye to, which is actually heartbreaking! But it was warmer weather and the UV was a 4, I got a mini watch and farmer's tan already! We started packing up and were getting ready to leave Concordia.

Fun/Funny moments: 

♡I beat my district in an intense game of flip 7

♡Sister Larsen and I bought a huge jar of pickles just for it to fall and break out of the car immediately after we got home from the store.

♡ I wore through my first pair of socks on the mission.

♡ Sister Graul gave us bananas after visiting her.

♡We turned into handymen and fixed someone's bathtub.

♡We had a whole 20min conversation through Google translate and used the 3 Spanish words I know to refer someone to the Spanish elders.

♡ I accidentally blinded myself with a lamp and pretty much recited the first vision better than I ever have before.

♡Sister Larsen fell off of a slide! Peep the Google photos!

God is so good!
