Week 53: ONE YEAR

Odds and Ends ●So. I'm designated driver. Ahhhh man I miss just contacting in the passenger seat! ●We were trying to get into the church building for DCM, and Elder White threw his keys to Sister Mickelson. Sister Mickelson being the good companion she is, tried catching the keys. And slice. Blood. We run to the bathroom. Gushing. Cleaning. Bandaiding. See the picture below if you're brave enough! Her hand is bruised but recovering! ●There are peach blossoms everywhere! And white blossoms from the Dogwood trees!  ●Keith and Melissa got married! It was cool going into another church! Wow. There were a handful of family members, us, a couple from our ward, and the pastor. It made us feel so blessed! I made it an effort to talk to everyone and meet all of their family. The pastor was kind to us, and even invited us to church. Love ya Pastor Kent!  ●We met a member who has a Book of Mormon themed motor cycle! Hopefully we get to see it someday soon! Keep your eyes out 👀 ●We caught

No one in my companionship got transferred! I get to be with my hooligans Sister Hoyal and Sister Mickelson for another transfer! Odds and Ends  •Knocked on a door where a wire was connected to it and we thought we might get electrocuted.

Our sticky note was literally SUNBLEACHED onto the door and shriveled from the rain. Kudos to sticky notes, that is one reliable piece of paper. But it still looks the same, no signs of life. Still sounds like water is inside. Probably abandoned...  •My comps are obsessed with 7 layer dip.  •One lady told us she has a Jesus thumb!  •Melissa and Keith in

Forgot to mention in my last email... I totally slipped on a banana peel last week. And knocked a door open. Thankfully the guy on the other side was nice. On to the beginning of February! Odds and Ends •We got to go to Fabios birthday party!  • I played chair soccer for the first time and actually got someone out 💪😤 •Sister Hoyal set off the smoke detector in our little trailer... it is an flaw in the construction that it's so close to the kitchen haha! •Sister Mattson gave us fake roaches that she usually scares the missionaries with. She spared me and Sister Hoyal though haha! •I got some flowers for my birthday that got lost in the mail. Such a special surprise!  •We accidentally set up a lesson with active member thinking he was inactive.  •A lot of recent converts think caffeine is against the Word of Wisdom and won't even touch Coke products, but we told them they were a-okay!! •A less active member told us her neighbor could use a message of Christ. We went over and p
