Sister Brooklyn Palmer South Carolina Columbia Mission 2022-2023

  Okee dokee this is literally a month late holy smokes I gotta be quick so I can catch up! Events from Jan 23rd-30th Odds and Ends   ●A member sent us this joke: Why do the Lamanites have sore legs? Because of all the knee fights. Hahahaha! ●I called a number we had in for a member. But the lady who answered only spoke Spanish! Whipped out my Español hehe! She was shocked that I spoke some. Just enough to get the idea across..  ●This less active member I met named Tamara looks so much like my grandma Hamilton! ●Went to Firehouse Subs with Sister Wardroppy... tradition ●So we pull up to a house and we see a dog, but we aren't sure if its chained up. So I decided to be the sacrifice (aka the brave one) and get out of the car. I hop out and yes it was chained, but very quickly a teenager in big baggy black sweat pants and black jacket with the hood up opens the door and asks what I was doing. I start talking while my companions are still in the car. Then this teen starts sa...

This week was definitely not the one we had planned! But I'll jump right in! Events from Jan 16th-23rd. I know, late again... So just like it says in the title...I got Covid! Big sad. First I thought I was losing my voice Monday night, and then the next morning I just had a very sore throat and runny nose. Then Wednesday it was AWFUL. Full blown chills and heat flashes, forehead burning, massive headache, stuffy nose, sore throat. We had to go get our tire fixed... and after we got a call. The elders called us and Elder Ramos said he had covid. So I was pretty sure I had covid. And sure enough, took a covid test. And positive! The first time I've ever tested positive. So we were quarantined from Monday->Saturday. Yikes. It was hard, but we did it! I had a 101.2 fever, but after that it cooled down and then it was straight quarantine! Of course this was the one week we had full of member meals...hehehe. Had to cancel them, but we are glad we kept our friends and members healt...

  Odds and Ends ★We knocked on a door and this little boy answered the door with a VR headset on haha! He hit his face with the door because he couldn't see. We said hi and he closed the door and no one ever came back. ★We went to go visit a less active member... there was a TREE growing out of the trailer. Holy. ★I love that people love animals. But there is limit. Sister Hoyal and i went on exchanges to Graniteville with Sister Noel. And we walked up to this trailer. Sister Hoyal is slightly allergic to cats, just gets a little itchy. So i knock on the door and I can SMELL that there are cats inside. She calls "come in!" We open the door. Poisonous smell. We were in there for 10. Minutes. I almost passed out. It was so bad. Animals crawling everywhere. She informs us she has 8 dogs and 11 cats she THINKS. All of them are strays except for 1 dog. We left and we reeked. The smell clung to us so we had to keep the windows rolled down. Until it started raining. So we whippe...
