A Week of Service🛩👧🚚

This week was so fun!!! We had a week full of service and laughs.

MONDAY: 

Played some fun games with the district. Nothing too exciting.

TUESDAY:

We had lots of meetings which was good. We had a couple lessons fall through. But it's okay because we found a few people to listen to a message while we were out knocking doors. We talked to this really sweet guy about growing our faith. He brought up how he travels to Salt Lake sometimes for work and was wondering what the big buildings are for. We were able to talk about temples and church! He brought up how while he was there, they were having a parade where everyone was dressed up nice and they all walked into a building. Haha we were able to figure out that he was there in April and saw people walking into the conference center to hear the living prophet speak! This was fun to explain and he is super interested in going to the open house of the Salt Lake temple. 

WEDNESDAY: 

So awesome! We were able to do some service for an Air Museum here in Liberal. They have tons of airplanes that we get to climb around in and dust. Except the manager there came over to us and had us drop our dusters so he could give us a tour haha! So we actually didn't dust anything and got taken through a super awesome tour of some of the airplanes and learned a lot! Afterwards they let us pick one free thing from the gift shop!! Best service of my life! Haha and now I have a sweatshirt to remember it by! 

Later that day we went knocking and found so many people who were willing to hear a message and were so nice! We got some return appointments with them. 

Something so sad was while we were walking down the street we found an old woman who had fallen. She was on the ground with a very swollen and bloody face. We were able to help her up and walk her to a friend who took her to the hospital. She was the sweetest lady ever and kept telling us that she was praying for someone to find her and help her. She told us we were angels sent to her from God.

THURSDAY:

We were able to help someone move some stuff to a storage unit. Our senior missionary couple, the Wrights, were able to bring their truck and help us move his stuff. Once we got everything loaded up in his car and the truck we followed this guy to his storage unit to unload it all. In this whole process we had 3 cars following this guy in his car and he was driving SO SLOW! As we were driving down these busy streets we were driving, not even exaggerating, 5MPH! He turned our 10 min drive into 30. HaHa! But we were happy to help. The Wrights took us to Taco Bell afterwards #blessed. 

FRIDAY: 

The town of Liberal likes to claim they are Dorothy's home town (from the Wizard of Oz). In our town we have a Dorothy museum, it's so cute! They have a playground out front of the museum where we were able to help put out wood chips! We had fun and we get to go back next week to finish out the job and go through the tour.

SATURDAY:

We went to a farmers market to find some people. We were able to talk to quite a few people. 

We had a lesson with Richard (a 93 year old man who is hard of hearing) I've never yelled the restoration of the gospel so loud. Haha! Pray Richard will find the motivation to go to church. 

SUNDAY: 

This was an awesome day! We were able to watch Pedro (a friend of the sisters in our district) get baptised! He is so awesome and his smile was so big. He kept saying “Estoy emocionado!” We were so happy and excited for him. It was cool to see the baptismal service in Spanish. We got to eat yummy food afterwards too, which is always a big plus! 

We later had a lesson with our old man friend Jim. We were able to talk about God's plan for us. Him and Elder Wright get along so well!

Sister Robison later did her pass off lesson for the Plan of Salvation. She did so well, I am proud of how quickly she is picking things up. She is an awesome missionary! 

Fun/Funny things: 

♡ May have accidentally started a prank war with our district.

♡ Got a frog thrown at my back

♡ I am pretty much a pilot now

♡ We were dropping off food to other missionaries from the ward members and accidentally dropped it off at the wrong house! We had to go back knock and explain that we needed the food back she was nice though! 

♡ We got our boundaries in our area changed so hopefully we can find more English speaking friends

God is so good!  

6 Months!!🌻

MONDAY:

Such a fun day! We played sand volleyball and a fun board game. In the evening we had an awesome lesson with our sweet friend Marlene! Marlene is so cute and interested in learning more! She loved learning about God's plan for us and it brought her so much comfort! Unfortunately she is moving so we won't get to teach her anymore. But we are finding her some missionaries where she is moving! Yay Marlene!!

TUESDAY: 

We had all our regular activities and meetings. Something so fun was Elder Wright (a senior missionary in our district) showed us all self defense! So everybody better watch out! 

WEDNESDAY:

We got to visit tons of members which was so so so awesome! We met some pretty amazing people who don't usually make it to church. We started keeping a huge bowl of paper hearts in the car so when people don't answer their doors we can heart attack them♡

THURSDAY:

This day was a busy day of meetings. We had a lesson with a cute lady named Joice. Joice is full of spunk and sass! She had us tell her everything we ate that day and then she continued to judge and tell us what a balanced meal should look like… haha thanks Joice! We later visited a family in our ward. The McCreadys are so cute! They are a family of 7 with 5 crazy little boys. The highlight of my day was the boys running and cutting off Zinnia flowers for us. We each left with a handful of flowers  

FRIDAY:

Another full day of visiting members from our church! We met this precious lady named Linda who was so happy and excited we knocked on her door. Her husband is a member but she is not. She said that she was just praying and asking God what to do next when we knocked on her door! She told us we were her angels sent by God.

We found some sunflowers starting to grow on the side of the road! So ofc we pulled over and picked a few! Sunflowers make me so happy!

We then had a visit and pop up dinner with brother and sister Justice!!! They are so sweet and they made the yummiest dinner! God is so good! 

SATURDAY:

We had a lesson with Joshua, we talked all about prophets and the scriptures! He is sweet and loves talking with Elder Wright over the phone. He's pretty busy over the summer so we may not get to see him for a while but pray he can travel safely on all his adventures. 

Our town had a fun event with a bunch of food trucks and small businesses! They also had a fire truck with firefighters showing people around. We got to look all around the fire truck and even blow the horn! Haha pray our firefighter friends come to church! 

We went to a super yummy Mexican restaurant for dinner to celebrate hitting 6 months on the mission! I can't believe I've already been out for 6 months (it has gone by so fast!) I am excited to see what God has in store for me this next year! 

SUNDAY:

We had lots of meetings and calls. But it was a really good day. The Wrights fed us all dinner and dessert. I love them so much! 

Fun/Funny moments: 

♡ people are concerned about our hydration so we got Dr Pepper, Powerade, and Jarritos. 

♡ The district all went to get tacos and the world cup was on. 

♡ Sister Robison gets as excited about the storms as I do 

♡ Sister Robison and Elder Boyer are twins. 

♡ we tricked the sisters into thinking it was their idea to bring us cookies!
