Sister Brooklyn Palmer South Carolina Columbia Mission 2022-2023

Another miraculous week in Newberry! Ahh I'm forever grateful for this town that's grown to be a part of me!

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.
