Good afternoon everyone!! I hope you had a lovely week! Here's what went down :))      So Monday was a lazy day for me, but for Sister Warren it was pretty busy! She almost got everything packed up well, at least the stuff she could and then we went to a few stores. Okay a little story time. When I was back home I got an addiction to pistachio ice cream and while I've been in Oklahoma I've been trying to find it at the Walmarts I've searched around but I never found it BUT on Monday I did! I literally thought to myself even though that was a small thing, God was letting me know he is aware of me through ice cream #itsthelittlethingsthatcount     Tuesday; Sister Warren packed some more, and we did a somewhat deep clean of our house which is nice.  I also stayed up until 1am finishing Sister Warren's comp journal, if no one knows a comp journal is a little scrapbook your companions add to with photos, quotes, a letter, etc. I'll have to put a picture of how b...

Alrighty everyone, make this one sweet, short, and simple.     So today's the day where it's Sister Warren and I's last pday together! She is moving for her last transfer to Norman which will be super fun for her, she is going to be with some really good sisters!      There are also some more people from our district that are leaving and I'm somewhat sad about it because I'm going to miss them but I know God has other things they need to do and I'm grateful for the memories we did make in our district!      Anyways this week not much happened, our ward had a pool party so we went and I put my feet in the water so that was nice and then we had a fun district pday! We had some GOOD chicken and waffles.     But that is all, I hope you enjoy the pictures and stay tuned for next week so I can introduce my new companion and you can see a picture of us together.     I love you all, ttyl!!      PSA: my birthday is coming...

Howdy     Let’s start shall we!! So we had dinner last monday and it was so good. Our members made chicken salad with some fruit and it was nice to have something cold with the heat we've been having! They told us a story from their senior mission about how they were invited to a native american medicine bag ceremony, and how spiritual it was. I loved hearing their stories! They were so cool!!     I went to Enid for a day and it was freaking wild!! The full moon was definitely playing a role in it! We first had 2 good lessons and then we ended it with brownies from the neighbors, getting involved in a car chase, and hearing scary stories.     When I got back from Enid, our rear tires were losing air FAST, so we got that fixed but while it was getting fixed we were walking to everything! I swear we walked for like 5 miles lol. We were DYING by the end of it.     Anyways, t'was a good week and I'll talk to you next week! Love ya 

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you had a fantastic week! I had a wonderful week. I started it with district pday and sushi. Honestly, whoever knows me, knows I'm not a big fan of sushi but this time it wasn't too bad! God is giving my taste buds a new outlook on food lol. PS we didn't get a group picture, so don't try and look for one lol. We had lunch with our bishop and his family and it went really well! Our ward/area doesn't have much trust in missionaries because of previous experiences so while we were having our lunch conversation, we ended up talking about members and our missionary app areabook. And during that talk, our bishop trust SKYROCKETED! And starting with him can build the trust with other members HALLELUJAH AND PRAISE THE LORD We ended up calling a less active member and at first she had her walls up because no one has really told her that whatever religious or spiritual journey she has back to God is okay and she appreciated us when we told her ...

Shut the front door, it's AUGUST!! Guys it's beyond crazy how fast this year is just flying by!  But anyways this week was fun! We had a miracle with a new friend but he needs to be taught by the YSA Elders so he's no longer our friend, so that was somewhat a sad day! We also had zone conference so that was pretty spiritual! We talked about conversion and I love how I was able to remember my conversion and how individual it was to me because it made it more personal!  We also walked around the temple and it was pretty epic! I love the temple spirit! We went to play with some tender puppies and speaking of animals we found a lizard in our house!! Yo no joke I basically freaked out but Sister Warren and I used our skills and caught it! yay for the sisters  Anyways this week has been pretty good and I'm enjoying being here.  Anyways love you tons!! See you next week
