I know it's a day late but merry Christmas to you all. I miss you all so much, and i hope your Christmas was good!! Honestly I feel like I have short term memory loss cuz I can like never remember what happens during the week because it just goes by real fast. But on Monday we had to suffer and spend p day in Atlantic because we are low on miles on our car and we didn't really have an excuse to go hang out with all the other missionaries in my zone but I guess me buying a guitar kinda made up for that. Tuesday through Thursday not a whole lot happend just the same old knocking doors and nobody answering but we did help this one lady put a bunch of wood in her basement for her wood burning stove and she says that she doesn't leave her house in the winter  But on Friday we had our Christmas zone conference and that was super fun the night before we stayed the night at our DLs apartment cause we didn't wanna wake up at like 5 to get there on time.  The zone conference was ...

Hey peeps hope your week was good! This week was alright nothing too crazy happened but we did have our branch Christmas party this week which was really fun At first I thought that there wasn't going to be very many people at this party since we have such a small branch but I was wrong.  There were quite a few people there and at least like 10 of them were non members so that was super exciting.  And, one of the ladies that ended up coming to the party came to church the next day which was super cool. Other than the Christmas nothing really happend but one of our members husband took us for a drive to look for deer because it was the last day of the hunt but don't worry we didn't shoot anything.  It was just fun to drive around looking for them.  I think it was earlier this week or last week and I forgot to say it but he also had a bunch of people over to hunt deer and they got a few I'm not sure how many. "We all are children if God. ...No matter our different si...

Sup yall hope yall are doing good. I'm going to be totally honest, I can't remember much of what happened this week but I will try my best to write this email. Of course this week we had our normal everyday drivin around knocking on some peeps doors and trying our best to find people.  We did "find" this guy named Jose but really we had been texting him for a little bit but when ever we wanted to meet he either wouldn't show or he was busy.  He sent a second referral for himself with his address, so now we know where he live and we were finally able to meet with him.  He's a super good guy,  def has potential but we will see.  Jose referred this lady to us named April she is also a super cool lady but is really struggling in life.  She seems a little interested but we will see what happens this next week. On Wednesday we also were able to do a bit of service for some older couple in the branch that have a hard time walking around so we went over to their ho...

Howdy yall!! This week feels like we were barely even in Atlantic.  Monday we went down to Council Bluffs again and spent the day up there and then did a mini exchange that night with our DL.  On Tuesday we were still in Council Bluffs and had a full exchange with the DL.  There were a lot of shenanigans that happened such as snow ball fights and pretty much having a water fight in the DLs apartment.  After we left I felt bad because we soaked their whole bathroom in water but it was fun.  Even though we soaked his apartment, my DL gave me one of his ukeleles which was super nice and that gives me something to do. Wednesday was just a normal old day knocking houses and talking to people, but on Thursday we had this meeting at the mission prez house called trainer trainee where all the new missionaries that came out on the transfer that I came went to their house and we talked about driving and questions that we had, but now I'm able to drive so that's epic Frida...

Hey yall hope everythings goin good This week we did a lot of service.  We helped this one lady named Terri with leaves at this house that she rents out and there is a ton of leaves but we didn't only do that house we also helped this other family that she knew with leaves, and this house also had so many leaves that's pretty much what we would do for the first half of our days.  Other than all that service we had our zone conference on Friday and that was super fun.  It was super cool to hear what our APs and our mission president had to say.  There was so many things that stuck with me but it was also so fun to meet everybody that was in the Omaha zones it was supper funny because we had out mission president and his wife playing with a kendama.  It was also super fun to go to Texas road house with a bunch of people and just get to hang with other missionaries. Today we are in council bluffs for p day and we did a little micro exchange with our zone leaders fo...
