WEEK 38 💥🫪🤯 - Freedom Park, Las Vegas

Hello again! Alright this was another crazy week so I fear imma have to do it day by day again. Sorry it's EONS long

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

TUESDAY

★ It was pday! I love emails (email me) We played volleyball at the church (I'm lowkey over volleyball at the church its all we do on pday ever )

WEDNESDAY

LONG day for absolutely no reason

★ Had District Council!

★ Barns & Noble deaf community activity again

★ Literally idk what even else happened

THURSDAY

Holy random day today

★ Woke up to the weirdest text I've ever seen from a guy we met last week.  

★ Started the morning off with getting lowk bashed 

★ Weekly planning was only 1.5 hours bruh (usually 3 hours) I enjoy having my free time after we finish but apparently here we just go out prosteliting when we finish...

★ New deaf member Elsa texted and called us a million and one times telling us to bring over "big mormon brothers" to move her furniture rn but the elders didn't respond so we just went and helped, kind of... (her neighbors did all the big stuff)

★ Met a lady who just trauma dumped everything on us (also turns out shes a member)

     ☆ (Lowk a smack in the face from God because I was complaining about the day and then I hear all these problems this girl has and I was like wow my problems are so small)

★ Sister Rempe went out with us for the night and took us to Panda Express! 

★ Had some lessons

FRIDAY

★ AJ (who was on date) said she told her mom about the baptism (aparently she didn't know) and her mom got mad so now she doesnt wanna be baptized (even tho shes like 25) so thats buns but shes still coming to church and meeting with us lol

★ Some lessons per usual. Sorry kinda boring day

SATURDAY

★ EXCHANGE with Sister Herring!!! YAY! It was so fun! We stayed in my area so it was crazy, it just seemed like we were back in Montebello (we were comps in this same area way back when but in spanish)

      ☆ Innout for lunch

★ We met DANIEL!! What a miracle. He called out to us so we talked to him, had a long chat/lesson. Turns out he was almost baptized a while ago where he used to live but he is going through some stuff and he wants to change and his face lit up SO MUCH when we talked about repentance and how he can and will change. He basically put himself on date, he was talking about how he wants to meet with us and get baptized and he is willing to give up anything that would be in the way. So we put him on date right then and there!

★ Had a lesson with Evelyn, talked about baptism and put her on date too! WOW!

★ I forgot to introduce our new member David last week... he thinks he is dating Sandra Bullock and he gives all his money to her, poor guy, so he sometimes can't afford a bus pass to get to church (he made it this week tho!)

★ Went to a deaf event at a pizza place and met some people

★ Lowk almost crashed on the way there...  yall these freeways are crazy

SUNDAY (so long so sorry)

★ Ok not to be a hater but Sundays are really hard on the mission ngl. It's so exhausting to keep track of so many people and who's coming to church and coordinating everything for everyone. And interpreting just adds a whole other layer of stress lol.

To everyone not on a mission: it prolly still is hard but do not take for granted the ability to get ready for church, go to church, and then go HOME. What a blessing! (Sorry for that rant lol)

★ A deaf guy called us so there was an interpreter as a middle man. Was interesting! He basically wanted us to give him food and money and gave us a list of groceries. We told him about the bishops storehouse where he can get food and he was like no I need it rn. We said no promises but we'll see what we can do.

We literally drop off some food we gathered from our apartment and he calls us later and hes like yeah I got it but there was no meat or water or bus money and I was like bro we are missionaries we talk about Jesus we don't have food and money to give you. Anyways that was weird.

★ DANIEL and AJ came to church! Also a guy named Manny who we literally just invited on the road and he actually showed up whatttt and also Kim who we met last week, she always said no come back later and was never home later so we never started teaching her but then she showed up at church! What in the world.

★ Asked elders in our apt complex for eggs to make muffins and we brought some muffins for them in return

★ Went to a baptism that AJ came to watch! He was in a wheelchair so it was interesting to see how they did that.

★ We were about to go home but we see this guy in his yard and we yell to him and ask if we can share a scripture. His name is Giovanni btw and like youngish 20s prolly. He was like really chill for some reason, anyways he though we were in a horror movie because we're 2 girls in flowy dresses at night lol. He spilt all the family tea and I was so here for it. Ok king!

MONDAY

★ We had DC except when we got there we realized the ZL's and STL's had a meeting so turns out we didn't have DC

★ We were able to contact Kim! She told us she has to be moved out by Wednesday but they have nowhere to go. Please pray for them!

★ Lesson with Giovanni was funny he asked questions about absolutely everything

★ STARBUCKS for dinner ate and drank it at freedom park 

★ Weather was SOOO nice. I literally was COLD after the sun went down. WHATTTT FALL IS COMING

★ IT RAINED (sprinkled)

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT

Aright some of our friends were spittin bars this week so I'm just gonna leave some of them here and you can ponder on them:

︎ (During a prayer) "Let your will be done whether we want it to or not"

Period!

︎ "I gotta start being mindful of God because I know he's mindful of me"

So true girl

︎ "Wolves can always be dressed in sheeps wool"

Ain't that the truth

︎ "Some people may not believe it but I do and I just care about what I believe"

(From the bday party last week)

Hermana Herring

What in the Stranger Things (the sphere was reflecting on the clouds we think)
