Week 23: Murals and Slippery Driveway and Ring Doorbells

 This will be a short one. Hehe! But that's what I say every week.

I totally put 2 emails as week 21. But it's fine. Hehe! Time to brain barf the miracles and experiences I've had this week!
Odds and Ends
-had rhubarb pie for the first time! After a long day, our new friend Mike gave us each a piece of pie to brighten it up! We love him!
-Met an older man in the ward whose name is Peachy 🍑 
- Sister Dayley accidentally sat on a pack of open wipes and had a wet mark on her dress for about 20 minutes haha! 
-Sister Dayley slipped on the way out of a members home and they TOTALLY caught it on their cameras 🤣 SISTER DOWN
-A lot of people have cats and dogs out here... we now have a lint roller in the car
-One of the boys we are teaching dressed up for when we came over to teach again.. 😅
-Stickers are the best icebreakers for kids, and the easiest way to start a friendship 
-Our friend Debbie asked us to sign her Book of Mormon! So sweet. 
-There are cute murals EVERYWHERE here. Some will be coming soon!
-Lots of people tell us they aren't interested through their ring doorbell. Hehe!
Miracles 
-Daniel was a the son of the parents we were trying to visit!! When the conversation was coming to a close, I asked a heaven-sent question and was able to help him open up about his relationship with God. The Spirit led to a return appointment! 
-Even though a lot of people said they weren't interested, there were the few that were still kind to us anyways! Like our friend Susan who sprayed us up with her friends brand of bug spray, Bug Nip. It smells so good! And felt good to not gave mosquitoes biting. 
-My TWINNER BLAKE was able to receive his mission call this weeeeeek! Ahhhh I'm so stinking proud of him! He will be serving in the Mexico, Mexico City Southeast Mission, Spanish speaking, starting November 28th. I know this huge step will allow him to be the miracle for hundreds of others as he served the Lord for 2 years. 
-We saw a REALLY pretty sunset and it lit up my soul.
-A new woman who moved into the ward named Donna is my angel. We felt prompted to heart attack her, which led to a sweet visit, which led to a much needed spiritual experience/conversation and mom hug. 
Spiritual Thought 
D&C 84:88
"And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up."
I've been able to recognize several angels in my life this week from tender and sweet ward members to just kind people. I've had the opportunity to be an angel for other people. But my question to ponder: Who has been YOUR angel this week? Who have you been and angel TO? 
Birthdays 
Happy birthday to my cousin Benny! Cute little platinum boy is growing up!
And happy birthday to my uncle JJ who has a pretty amazing lego millennium falcon that blows my marbles!
I love y'all so much, please feel free to reach out if you need a prayer, a spiritual thought, or a friend. God bless! Until next week!

Mission Farewell and Open House

My FAREWELL One more week. One more week until I say goodbye to my family for a time. One more week until I put aside all worldly distractions and personal affairs. And most importantly, one more week until I get to spend 18 months as a bigger piece in God’s plan. Teaching, serving, and constantly loving. I’ll get to be upgraded from just Brooklyn Palmer to Sister Palmer. I guess I’ll have to get used to that really soon! While waiting for my mission to start, I had the privilege of being called into nursery, where I was later moved up to Sunbeams, as well as Activity Days. All the Sundays and Wednesdays with these kids have been a huge blessing. In nursery the lessons were short and sweet, their attention spans matching their little size. But it taught me how to summarize the important details. Then I got the chance to transition with a few of my nursery kids to sunbeams, like sweet Emmy and Zeke. Sitting there in the front row to sing the songs can be a lot for some of them. It’s no ...

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...
