Hiiii everyone! I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving!!! This week was super busy so I'll give some highlights!      I've been sick most of the week so that's been tough! I felt a lot better by thanksgiving and now I'm kinda crashing again so that's unfortunate! But that's okay!!      For Thanksgiving we went to the Telfords (a members house) and it was so fun and yummy!! We also hung out with our district and played some uno and basketball!! We also went to this place called Perkins which is like a Dennys and just vibed so that was pretty sick!!      Friday we had exchanges and I was with Sister Maynard!!! We stayed in Mount Pleasant and Sister Blackburn went to Quincy with the other stl (Sister training leader) it was such a vibe!!! We had some really cool miracles and basically nothing fell through (which is a miracle) which was awesome!! We were able to get into contact with someone we've been trying to get into contact with for a lo...

So buckle up fr!!!      I stayed in Iowa city with Sister Mcmullin (in my mtc district), her comp Sister Smellie, and Sister Darrington (who's also training) for 2 days and we mobbed.

Suppp everyone!!! Love and miss you all!!!! Winter is here and Iowa cold is a whole other level haha! On Wednesday it was high 70s and then it dropped real quick to below 30s! I thought everyone was telling me it was this cold before my mission was full of crap but nah they were not playing that's for sure. This week was super awesome and crazy so imma give some highlights!!      First off y'all are probs wondering what the title is all about! We got transfer news last night and I'm gonna be training. Thank you Sister Johnsen for jinxing it hahah jkjk! She always joked with me that I would turn around the train and here we are! Pray for my trainee haha jkjk but for now idk what I'm doing!! I trust the Lord though!!       - On Wednesday we went and did service at the Nauvoo temple with our zone!! We raked leaves and it was super lit! I also got to see my kindergarten teacher!!!!

Hi everyone!!! I hope y'all had a fantastic week!!! I love and miss each and every one of you!! I can't even lie this week was a little rough so I don't have a ton to talk about.   A lot of our lessons just completely fell through this week and we were getting bailed on left and right haha. Super unfortunate and a big rip but it's okay because we saw some big miracles towards the end of the week!! But God humbled me to say the least!   An elder in my district brought frog legs and I tried it. He says it tastes like chicken. I'm sorry but that is absolutely no lie!!! Not the best thing I've ever tried, that's for sure haha!    Halloween was flippin 'littttt!! We went to a corn maze with our district (super fitting for Iowa amm I right!?) and played games there! We played tug of war and me and Sister Otto obliterated the elders (except for Elder Dunn which he should've lost too so we're gonna count it as a dub) but what can I say? We're just bu...
