Sister Brooklyn Palmer South Carolina Columbia Mission 2022-2023

  Odds and Ends ●We had dinner with the Alsops! She has the cutest baby bump EVER! Her little son Peter came up to us before we left and he gave us a flower to share haha! ●So we went by Reggies. Reggie wasn't home. But this younger guy answered! We asked if he was home and then asked if we could share a message with him instead. He said his name is Lil Reggie. And he said no, so we turned away and said bye. Then he asks "Hey... does one of you have a phone number I could grab?" I'm like "yes we can send you the church address!" And then he continues... "so I can take one of y'all on a date to dinner or something?" And then we saw a fullllll smile of golden teeth. Bye Lil Reggie. Nice try. I am actually more confident and controlled when I'm rejecting creepy men on the mish. It's now a talent I'm glad to have acquired!  ●So we had a lesson with the cute Potratz family about staying united through Jesus Christ. It's an object  to...

Odds and Ends ● Sister Cordez let us come to her Boutique called Southern Blu and let us pick out a dress for easter AND a pair of shoes! She's so kind! The elders at Zone Conference all said they loved my new boots!  ●Sister Hoyal is in fact gluten free. We always joke about giving her a crumb in her sleep or something, and just tease her about it. The phrase "destroyed by a crumb" is frequently passed around. Anywho, we go to a member meal and there's a salad. With croutons. So Sister Hoyal just tried not to grab any croutons.  But the contamination is too much. So we had to run home and get her medicine.  ●We had a lesson with Larry where he GRILLED us with questions. And I sat next to Larry's pistol, hoisted on a belt and draped over the couch armrest. I was holding so still because I had a fear I'd accidentally set it off with one little shift.  ●Sis Mickelson drew the elders in callins... pretty well I might add ●We had lunch with the Penrods for the las...

Miracles and Memories from March 7- March 13th! Odds and Ends ●The elders in our district REALLY wanted to go to Buffalo Wild Wings, but because of Sister Hoyal's allergies, we were going to Tropical Smoothie. And then we pulled up to Tropical Smoothie, and they were all there and saved us a spot!! We have the sweetest elders! ●Lily asked what lent was, and to be honest, I don't really know how to answer questions about other religions. More than before, I've learned a lot! But I'm still lost haha! ●I went on splits with my FAVORITE Sister Nebeker! ♡♡♡ ●The Lauer family had us over for dinner, and Brother Lauer was telling us about his touching conversion story. He has a powerful testimony of the Holy Ghost, and he literally didn't know about it until they had their hands on his head haha! Whoopsie to those missionaries! He also shared a hilarious story with us. He only occasionally drank before his baptism, and so when he was taught, he didn't know he had to be...

Odds and Ends   ●Had my second MLC. And also, I got sing I Will Be What I Believe with 2 of my past companions, Sister Bradshaw and Sister Horman! Ahhh! They are the best at the ukulele! They asked me spontaneously when they spent the night before the meeting if I'd sing with them! Bestest thing EVER. Plus got to have a sleepover with them too! And gave Sister Bradshaw the only dress I've ever given to another sister! Wow I'm a hoarder. Haha! ● I went to Anderson on exchanges and wow its awesome there! I got to be with Sister Coats, who i came out with and has the cutest bangs ever, and then Sister Wilson, who is so bubbly and sweet and is in her first transfer! Fun fact.. Like how Newberry has the dangerous Wise Street? They have the ALPHABET streets. Like straight up A, B...Y, Z! And they are scaryyy. Heard some gun shots during a porch pray and I've never prayed faster for a prayer to end in my LIFE!  ●On of our appointments called with this note on their door: ...
