This week went by slow, but I can't believe it's already over. So this email is a boutta be short So on Monday we didn't do a lot, just talked to our families, went grocery shopping, and that's about it. It was a good pday! On Tuesday I was flossing my teeth, and my floss got stuck to my retainer and it ripped one of my permanent retainers out. That sucked, now I have to go to the orthodontist and get it fixed :( we had a dinner appointment with sister Wallace tonight, this lady is my absolute favorite, I love her so much! We went to Aubreys and had the most spiritual conversation ever. She told us about how she got a priesthood blessing to help her stop smoking, and she hasn't felt the need. It was soooo cool, she is preparing for the temple and she is taking big steps and doing so so good! I love her. Then Wednesday through Saturday we were sick and we did absolutely nothing. We actually bought a coloring book, so we colored for the majority of that time and nappe...

Wow okay, so this week was absolutely CRAZY, let me tell ya a little bit about it. So on Monday we went bowling, I sadly did not win this time, but I did not lose either! I got to talk to my bestie Maiz for a couple of minutes and that was so so good to see her, I love that woman  Sister Wallace told us she had something for us, so we stopped by and she gave us these rings and they are the cutest things ever. But mine is literally gone, idk if I lost it, but I took it off one night and couldn't find it ever since, I'm so sad about it. Don't tell her this :)  We really really wanted to find someone this day so we prayed really hard to know where we should go, and we decided to go visit this man named Ernest. He was outside of his house fixing his deck. We talked to him a little bit about God's love for him and we asked if we could come back and share more and he was more than willing. He told us that he wanted the missionaries in the past to continue meeting with him, bu...

Alright I wasn't gonna write an email today, but mother told me I have too, so here we go. Last week on Monday, we were in the church gym and Elder Noble and Elder Percival were hitting some golf balls, and Elder Noble hit one and it hit Sister Saunders right in the stomach. That was super bad but super funny at the same time lol!! That day I was feeling a little sad to be done talking with my family, but I decided to go into the night with a good attitude and I really really wanted to find someone new to teach and so we went out to contact some people that have been taught in the past and the first two doors weren't interested, but then maps took us to this random address and this lady came up to us and her name is Gwen, she wasn't the person we were looking for, in fact it was the total wrong address that maps took us too. Kind of cool, we are gonna go teach her again! On Tuesday we had exchanges and they were so so good! I went with sister Ferrin and she's super swee...

Okay so this week was good! Nothing too crazy important happened! It went by fast but in the moment it went by soooo slow! I'll tell you about it. So on Monday, it was pday and I got to talk to my family which is always soooo good! Can't wait until the day I get to hug them again! Nothing else really happened that day!  Then on Tuesday, we went to lunch with one of our friends Janice and she is the best! We went to a Mexican restaurant called Zandunga Mexican Restaurant, it was pretty yummy actually! Then after lunch, we went to leave, but she wouldn't let us, she made us go to hobby lobby with her next door! I mean I don't mind a little shopping. On Wednesday, we tried to do a lot of finding, we went Street contacting, we visited members and we also visited people who were taught in the past! That was also transfer day, but Sister Bosted and I weren't getting transfered, but the other sister we live with is training so she went and got her new missionary and brough...
