• We drove an hour home in the middle of nowhere I am living in a cutie little house with another set of sisters!

• We went out to the Indian Reservation and contacted some people, we found Bianca and Victor!

• Later we had a lesson with Ramone, we taught the restoration he's so cool! Then a lesson with Arturo! It was amazing he is so christlike and elect, we identified the spirit and started talking about baptism then boom put him on date to be baptized! Yay I think that's the first person I've invited to be baptized! It was so cool.

• Ended the day with a beautiful sunset

☆WEDNESDAY☆

• It was GLOOMY outside and it felt WONDERFUL!

• On our way back from District Council we saw a lemonade stand so of course we had to stop and get some. Um lmk why this was the best lemonade I've ever had?? it was like profesional with real strawberries and lemons and sugar and they mixed it up right in front of us, it tasted so good whattt

• Visited a member and we got to do some service for her! She also gave us zucchini and tomatoes

• We had some awesome lessons! I met Liz for the first time, she speaks spanish so I tried to use my spanish but it's like all gone I swear so luckily we had fellowship out who speaks spanish!

• Had a lesson with Chopper! He is so cool and awesome

☆THURSDAY☆

• We met this mom and daughter, the mom is a member and the daughter wants to take the missionary lessons and get baptized. Ok! She's like college age and she goes to church and knows basically everything already so we met with them and put her on baptism date wooo (She's actually in the elders area but wants to be taught by sisters instead #valid)

• Had another lesson w Chopper, he is genuinely SOOO ready to be baptized he just wonnttttt accept a date

• Met Derrick! He is a new member and he is so cool!

☆FRIDAY☆

☆SUNDAY☆

• Felt sick and nauseous and horrible all day long

• Church x3 basically, we cover 2 wards + the spanish group. One of them meets at 1pm wow I didn't know that was even possible

• A member told us that boys like short girls after saying that we are tall why would she say that

• Ramone came to church for the first time! He loved it and said he'd be back

• Not too hot! Moon was gorgeous once again

• Sunset once again

☆MONDAY☆

• Did service at Warm Springs! Cleaned moss out of a little stream :) Wish I could swim

• STORY TIME We had like 5 mins until dinner so we decided to knock this house, up a steep rocky road and we tried to turn around first in the driveway thing so it was easier to get out after, but there was a humongous hole in the ground and a metal pole next to it and we kind of got stuck trying to get around it and then the guy came out of his house and offered to help us so he did lol but THEN we started talking about missionary stuff, as one does, and we gave him a book of mormon and he started to cry as we were talking about it and he really wants to come to church and read! It was so precious We invited him to pray to know if what he reads is true and he was already like it's true! Jesus is Jesus! Yay so that was an awesome miracle!

• Had a member meal and she showed us her art studio! WOWWWW it was so cool she is so talented with oil painting

• Ok sorry I cannot stop talking about the sky and the moon but the moon was SOOOOOOO PRETTY SO SO PRETTY it was huge and yellow and so bright it looked just like this you can't really see it in this photo but just imagine
