Mall of America craziness! 3/18/24

Image
  Hey Everybody! The last couple weeks have been absolutely crazy! We were able to go to Mall of America last week and had an interesting time... Elder Hemingway almost died, but he wanted to write about it himself so... ( he also wrote it from my perspective so...) Hi Guys this is Elder Hemingway typing this. I said that the fans (You guys) need to hear about her week so here I am slaving away so that you guys can hear somewhat about her week.  *Ahem  Lets begin We went to Mall of America this past Pday and it was interesting. After being there for a bit Elder Hemingway did the stupidest thing. He ate this spicy gumball called the Gob. He started throwing up and we literally had to save him. We got him some some milk and other things to stop the burring. He also got a heat high from it so he kind of was out of it for a minuet. I would never do that I think I would die.  Ok It's Sister Petty again! but ya, I will never forget that trip to mall of America!  This ...

  Hey everybody! This email is about to go crazy! Me and Sister Pollister are killing it! she’s seriously awesome, I think I got the best greenie out there!  This week I realized I was short when I needed to close a garage door, and needed to climb the back of a car to do so… I almost broke Sister Pollister's phone, but don’t worry I fixed it! I also may or may not have led Sister Pollister into some interesting situations, but we just laugh about them and move on, but we’re thriving!                        One of our members showed us how to make real maple syrup this week! It was on the coldest night, but it was sooo worth it! We got to taste test the syrup, and he gave us a jar to take home! The members here are amazing, I love each of them so much! We saw so many miracles this week! One of my favorites was when we called our friend Elizabeth! It was kinda late and almost time to go home, but me and Sister Polliste...

  What is up everyone!! I can't believe it's already been another week! Training has been so fun, Sister Pollister is amazing!! I still don't really know what I'm doing, but I just smile and wave and I'm gonna keep doing my best!  We had Africa night again this week!! It was seriously so much fun! instead of just singing, this time we added dancing in too!!! I can promise you I looked like a crazy person trying to do the dances but I did my best and was laughing the whole time! Elder Hemingway and Elder Pack only made fun of me a little bit!  Miracle from the week! We have a family that was taught about a year ago, but that we haven't been able to contact since then. We tried reaching out but the number was invalid. We decided to stop by and THEY ANSWERED!! they said they would be interested in meeting again, so were gonna meet with them again this week and I'm so excited!! they're seriously the cutest family every!  Everything is going great out here! I...

Two dumb blondes in the creeks comes to an end 2/19/24

  Hey Everyone! I know I start pretty much every email off like this, but once again this week was crazy!  We had a lesson with our friend Rohit that was 2 1/2 hours long... my brain was completely dead after! It was our last lesson with him since we finally got him to agree to meet with the missionaries who are actually in his area, and because it was our last we had some members who wanted the lesson to be at their house! Although the lesson went way over, we saw miracles! After the lesson we went back to say hi to the Members mom, who's a convert and has the sweetest testimony! When she found out Rohit was just learning about the church she looked right at him and said, "Do it, this is where the lord wants you so just do it!" She then told us her conversion story and it was the coolest experience!  This week we also had transfers!! Sister Brady left which was no surprise, she had been in this area for 4 transfers! What did surprise us was that both me and Sister Brady ...

"Praise Jesus!" - Yolanda 2/12/24

Hey everyone! This week it hit me that I'm a sister missionary serving in a sketchy part of town! We almost got attacked at the library, had a guy get excited about two white girls in his house during a lesson, and had to cancel another lesson because we found out he was more interested in us than the gospel... I have more stories but I feel like those pretty much sum up the week! Even with all the craziness, I definitely felt the Lord protecting and guiding us through our days!  This week we had some stop by miracles!! The first was when we stoped by our friend Marcus who wasnt there, but his cousin Ted was! Ted is so cool and really open to learning more! We gave him a book of Mormon and he calls us about every other day with questions!  We also stipped by our friend Yolanda this week! Yolanda has been really hard ti get in contact with, but we stopped by and she was so excited to see us! She let us in and told us her whole story about why she loves Jesus! In the middle of t...
