Sister Brooklyn Palmer South Carolina Columbia Mission 2022-2023

Here's this week's email now! Had to send 2 this week! Momma wasn't too thrilled to not see my email last week haha! Love you mom 😘 And I hit 7 months! Whaaaaat?! Man this is crazy! Anywho this week was amazing, I know you're DYING to read about it! Odds and Ends   -I finally met our friend Trail this week! The first thing he said to me was "I didn't realize how lengthy you are." So many boys my age comment on my height.  It's always a great observation! -We threw a birthday party for our friend Arthur and he literally SQUEALED when I pulled out a party hat for him. We also accidentally bought trick candles! Love this 75 year old man! (side note: Arthur is a Jehovah's Witness and they don't celebrate birthdays but he still enjoyed our little celebration haha) -Our sweet members the Lambs have the absolute CUTEST love story! Ask me about it if you're interested! The AP married the mission presidents daughter... and it was all set up by the ...

P. S. I wrote this last week, but I didn't get a chance to send it. Sorry its late! Hehe! Ready set GO! Odds and Ends -Some children in the ward were misbehaving and so the mom tells them "I'm going to tell the sister missionaries..." They instantly said "No no no!" It's like we are Santa Clause or something over here! -I was holding the door open for a woman to our locked complex. The manager lady comes over and said "you could be fined $25 for that." I thought she was joking. She was not. She proceeded to walk over to our car and say we could be fined for our parking job as well. She told us to read our lease. I had to work hard to not let that freak me out and ruin the start of the day haha! She's just doing her job, I just forgot we probably shouldn't let strangers in, even if holding the door is Christlike hehe! -We rearranged the apartment! -I took a picture with a tik tok famous gorilla.  -A sweet 11 year old told us she wants to...

Okay quick one! Ahh! Odds and Ends -A member just plopped her 5 mo old baby in my lap during Relief Society. We aren't allowed to ask to hold children due to some potential problems. But this sister let me hold her chubby munchkin and didn't even ask! I was in HEAVEN. He was definitely filling his diaper while he was on my lap... but precious nonetheless! -Sister Bradshaw definitely ran a red light 😆 -my mom sent a Walmart grocery delivery because we forgot to get groceries on pday last week haha! -Adam said the only addiction we want to have is an addiction to Jesus haha! -I asked a grandma if I could give her granddaughter a sticker but I think she thought I was some creepy lady offering candy... my stickers feelings were hurt to be rejected... and mine were a little too -I had a thick ankle from one easy weansy ant... they are vicious out here in South Carolina  Miracles   ---A man we met last week named Maurice seemed SUPER pumped about the gospel. Like we couldn't tel...

First things first! I sadly already left my little old town in Simpsonville. I did not expect this, it came as quite a surprise! I feel like Sister Dayley and I were finally getting a hang of things. I was only there a few short weeks, but my heart still ached to leave the people I love so much. BUT. I'm trusting in the Lord! I'm here for reasons unknown by me, but very known by Him. So I'm not afraid of what's ahead! Because if I follow His will, I will have done the most I can! Now my adventures are in Newberry!  MEET MY COMP My new companion is Sister Kinley Bradshaw! She's been out on her mission for only 6 weeks so I'm finishing her training. She has already come up with new ideas for our whole mission to use. It's amazing! She's from Lehi, Utah and has the cutest bangs in the world. God knew I needed her ❤️❤️❤️  We are already planning on writing a song together! She plays the uke and has a gorgeous voice!!! Odds and Ends -we were asked if we were ...
