Week 20: RAIN, more rain, and MORE RAIN! With planted and growing testimonies!

Otay y'all this bouta be a short one. I'm so grateful to be a missionary! BOY time really does fly, I can't believe how far I've come! 

Odds and Ends 
-had Hawaiian haystacks at a member meal that reminded me of home!
-saw a bowl of rotten seafood that definitely has some lil creatures in it... blah
-got free Mary Kay beauty products from Beth after organizing!
-Sister Horman trimmed up my hair!! She's so talented I had to use her while I have her!
-found out our friend Wayne was already a member after having 1 and a half lessons with him
-had a chewing gum competition with Sister Horman that is still ongoing! On and off, but we will find a Victor. 
-someone said "thank you Lullaby" after I helped her pick up some Rolos she spilled. New favorite little name like "sugar" or "love." It was so precious!
-got plants from Janel Dwyer to take our entire missions!
-had roasted peanuts for the first time!
-Sister Horman summoned the rain!
Miracles
-We got a few free Bible calls this week! Mini miracles!
-A man evened out with our car while we were driving and waved to us! He pulled out his cross necklace and smiled. We rooted him on and showed him a picture of Jesus. It was a precious moment!
-Our sweet girl Velma who is on date for  July 30th has been really trying to follow the Word of Wisdom. We made bold promises during the lesson that the Book Of Mormon will bring strength to overcome temptation, and she have no desire to smoke, drink tea, or coffee. She has now gone 3 days without smoking, 2 days without tea,  and 1 day without coffee!! The power she's gained from the scriptures is miraculous! I can't wait to see her continue to progress and come closer to God.
-Our friends Jimmy and Michelle are READING THE BOOK OF MORMON! We were explaining the Restoration of how a family left Jerusalem and came to the American continent (Lehis family). Michelle said "Oh yeah on the boat they built." AHHH IT MADE US SO HAPPY! They said they'd come to church this coming week! Eeeee!
-We had 9 lessons in one day. It was a miracle we made it through all of them! It was all with the Lord's help to guide his sheep. 
Spiritual Thought 
2 Nephi 30:6-7 "6 And then shall they rejoice; for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God; and their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people.
   7 And it shall come to pass that the Jews which are scattered also shall begin to believe in Christ; and they shall begin to gather in upon the face of the land; and as many as shall believe in Christ shall also become a delightsome people."
As a missionary, I will have the privilege to guide others to become delightsome people, as well as gather the already delightsome! And we are the delightsome people because of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Ponder how you can be more delightsome through the Son of God!
Sent with much love,
Sister Palmer
Birthdays 
It was my SWEET cousin Sophie's 12th birthday on Sunday! Ahh she's so big! I wore the bracelet she gave me for my mission coincidentally on my mission! Ah I love her.

Prayers 🙏

Week 75: Referrals Galore and Busiest Sunday EVER

Image
Odds and Ends  ●We found an Elder Street! See pics ●We had a game night with the Reynolds after proselyting hours, which comprised of Cover Your Assets and giant Uno!  ●I made Sister Clark and her family cookies as a thank you for playing the piano for me, and she asked for cookie recipe! Win right there!  ●One house we pulled up to and a teenager saw us and then hurried inside. We knocked, and he knocked right back on the door. Kinda odd! ●So. We got a flat tire on Thursday, and the nail was right where the old tire was patched, so they had to repair it early in the morning because they had no other openings. Flat tire #3... wowzers.  ●We were scheduled to eat with Fabio and Jenny and Emily. Often times he has other missionaries or members come join us, but this time it was just going to be us! Or so we thought. We pulled up and Jenny was waiting for us at the gate with blindfolds in hand. She lead us inside, and all of a sudden, people were yelling! We pulled off t...

Week 64: Bye Sister Mickelson 🤧

Image
Transfers... my sweet Sister Mickelson. I don't know if I've ever laughed harder in my life. This girl has brought me so much joy. She teases me for my little quirks, she teaches me new life skills on the daily, she hand modifies her dresses, she paints like a queen, she has the FUNNIEST phrases, and has the biggest heart ever. Sister Mickelson is a big part of my heart now. Definitely sobbed watching her leave. But it was so fun watching her complete her mission strong! Maybe I'll name my child after her. We'll see! I'm lucky God blessed me with her and her spirit. Right before she left, we stated our missionary purpose one last time. I could hardly choke it out. Man I love this girl. Thanks for the memories Sister Mickelson ♡♡♡ but she'll be back to visit in like a month! Woohoo! Sister Bruce and I are staying in Gilbert//Lake Murray! Meet my new companion... MEET MY NEW COMPANION My new companion is Sister Annie Gibbens! Her real name is Anastasia (one of my ...

Week 40: Thanksgiving and Gratitude

Image
Another miraculous week in Newberry! Ahh I'm forever grateful for this town that's grown to be a part of me! Odds and Ends ---Sister Carter tried to drive over a cone but it definitely got stuck under the car ha! ---Found a leaf bigger than my face ---Had red bean paste sesame seed pastry thing. Mm mm. Never again.  ---Had my first actual door slam of the mission. ---We had a member meal with the Morris family. I just love them! We had homemade milkshakes. Right before the spiritual thought, Jaron and Brother Morris got into a little mini wrestling brawl. Brother Morris threw a pillow and it knocked a milkshake over and spilled everywhere. Thankfully it didn't knock over the lamp or glass nativity. Haha! Kinda a fun little moment.  ---We were talking with Henning and Dana on Thanksgiving, when one of the dogs started having a seizure! Henning and I had never seen a dog have a seizure. Sister Carter proceeds to tell us about her dog. And this story just got progressively wor...
