Belle is cloer to sturgis.. which is cool cause they have a bike rally!! thatll be something else!:) im in a trio and i love it!! one of the sisters is from canada!!
For Pday today we are going hiking with two other sets of elders and our ward mission leader! it excited.. if you know me you know i hate hiking, so theres a change.

tuesday we had lunch with Heather, love her. Shes so nice and the best! we went and had dinner with TT and Tonsan. it was good. we went and helped some elders and said goodbye to Israel..:( i love and miss him!
Wednesday we went and got Froyo with Sisters Wright and Wells.!! my homies! and got lunch with Camie! Camie is doing good! She is the best! We went and said goodbye to the senior couple, Elder and Sister Crockett!! they are so cute!! we went and had dinner with the Merkleys and taught a lesson about the Atonement. Sister Greene threw up there so we had to run back home. She got food poisoning from some where. she was sick all night until like 5am. poor girl.. and she was going home the next day too!
thursday i finished packing my stuff as well as sister Greenes stuff! we drove to Bismark and got on the transfer vans to our new areas. i was the only sister on the transfer van that was headed to rapid city!! so thats 6 hours! its was fun!! about halfway through we all had to go to the bathroom but we were driving in the middle of no where. we stopped and i went to the bathroom on the side of the rode, but to my luck none of the elder did it to cause THERE WAS A GAS STATION LIKE 2 MILES AHEAD AND NO ONE DECIDED TO TELL ME! haha hahahahaha im just better than them! lol jk got to Rapid and met up with my comps and drove 45 back up to my area!
Friday we had district meeting in Sturgis, so thats about 45 min away. its was good! we talked about the importance on prayer and making it meaningful and with a real intent. I love that. cause Heavenly Father doesnt want us to make our prayers so complecated to beat around the bush.. we just need to talk to him!! started weekly planning, had a lesson with Byron, he is a gator! we had dinner with him at a members and they helped us teach him about the Priesthood and who can have it. He is on date to get baptized........TOMORROW!!!!! hhaha yay we then went and saw a potential named Harley. we went over there and she had friends over and all they did was bash us.. so we left. all you can do it testify! if they arnt ready to chance and open their hearts, thats all you can do .
Saturday Byron was baptized. Byron is in his late 40s. Hes so difficult to understand cause all he talks in is metaphors! but still a good guy! the spirit was so strong. he was soooo ready to come unto Christ!! we then went back home and did our studies and planning. went to a Less actives house, the Browns. We talked about the scriptures and praying and why its important. we watched Womens conference!! we drove to Spearfish and watched it at a members with a bunch of other women! Sister Stednick drove us! i love that lady!! shes the best! She also came to Harleys with us yesterday! she has such a strong testimony!
Sunday we had ward council at 730, it wasw crazy cause the old men started to fight.. awk!! we had church! our gospel principles class consisted of us sisters, Byron, and the elders. taught by our ward mission leader, Dylan! we talked aboutour Heavenly Father and the love that he has for uss. He love us so much!! we then went and taught another gator named Domingo. Hes hispanic and from Texas(sister Will? haha) its hard for him to understand what were saying.. he knows english but just cant process it. we taught the restoration again, using a puzzle. i took the lead in it. I had no idea what to say our how to start, but with the spirit andrelying on it, i knew what to say to him. we invited him to pray but he just wont. he says next week, so we will see how that works. we had dinner at a members, the Jones. we talked about the family mission plans. and talked about not to get discouraged. no effort is wasted! we went over to the Stednicks to teach Brother Davids( a Less active) but he was sick. The Stednicks have two St. Bernards. and boy they are huge!!! i have never seen those types of dogs in person before and it was sooooo awesome!! it was a blast!
im so thankful for prayer and to be able to talk to our Father in Heaven! He loves us so much and wants us to talk to Him!! Im so thankful for families. ive been thinking about my family this week alot and how grateful i am for them! i know the Lord is watching over you all and keeping you safe. in times of trouble tall on your knees and ask for his help! i love you all.
