Hello again friends and family!! I've been missing you all a little extra this week :( send me some updates on your life! I'd love to hear from you!! This week was pretty slow but we did have a big move! Some Sisters left for the Chezch Republic and so we got to move into a half empty 4 Sister apartment!! Which was soooo awesome! More on that later.
Monday: Tonight we had a lesson with Hollis and taught her the Restoration. She just soaked it all up. It amazes me that every single time without fail when you repeaat the first vision, it brings the spirit into the meeting. After our lesson we had FHE with the YSA and it was so much fun! We did a scavenger hunt and Hollis came! It was so much fun. We got last place, but oh well! Esta bien. After that we came home and did some studies to finish off our night.
Tuesday: Today we had district council and we were eating lunch when we got a call from the APs telling us we needed to move! So we did! We got to move into this cute apartment closer to everything and we got roommates so it was a huge win for us! I think it was hard for my trainee because she was just getting adjusted to our other apartment. But, the roommates have been so FUN and there's a lot less driving here! This is basically all we did today because we didn't start until about 2 after all our meetings. So, not a ton of missionary work, but there was some good companion bonding going on.
Wednesday: We had lessons with Devonte and Matthew today, they are both recently baptized and are loving their choice! It has been awesome to help them learn how to study the gospel and watching them learn new things along the way. We also got our car all washed up for zone conference and completed all our studies. We contacted so many people and even did some cold calling which was a new experience for my trainee Sister Lusk!
Thursday: Today was packed!! We had zone conference for most of the day and had such a fun time!! Sister McBride was there, so we took a generational picture with all three of us! I needed zone conference. It really nourished my soul and spirit and I had a blast. Afterwards we went to dinner with the Cassolari family and got to teach Vito! He is the dad of two awesome girls and an awesome momma but he hasn't quite committed to being a member of the church yet. After meeting with him we ended our night teaching a very small study group and focused on the blessings of the temple.
Friday: We did weekly planning today because we didn't have time yesterday and we made some really awesome goals which I am super excited about. Then we went and enjoyed a pretty slow day until dinner with Bishop Carlson over the YSA. We had chicken noodle soup in 117° weather..... hmmmm. But, it was yummy and not salad, so I'm not complaining. We sadly got stood up on our lesson after dinner so we ended the night with a walk around the park!
Saturday: Such a good day!! We made cookies for our part member families and dropped them all off! We got to meet the Mendez family which was so awesome and we found out their girls like to decorate cakes ;) soooo I found my way in with them! Let's go. We also ate dinner with the Larsen family and they fed us steaks and potatoes and boy were we excited! We had a great lesson with another recent convert Amanda and talked about study tips for D&C. All in all a really good day.
Sunday: Well, today we left our house at 8:30am and didn't get home until 9:15pm sooo you could say it was a busy day. We had a lot of meetings that all went really well. We got some new initiatives going and I really enjoyed that. Sadly no one came to church with us, but we had a lunch after the YSA and that was super nice. After that we headed off to dinner with the Ewell family and had steak and potatoes again! We must be blessed or something. We went straight from there to a lesson with Hollis and we taught the plan of salvation. She loved every second of it and it was a really spiritual experience. I am so glad she was found and to see her testimony grow so much has been amazing.
What a good week! It was slow at first but it picked up there towards the end! I did take a decent amount of pictures this week soooo yay! Love you guys! More pictures next week since my friends aren't sending theirs to me!!!!!!

Singing Happy Birthday to Mom
Talking with Grandpa Jerry
Thanks to Jake for the gift card that didn't even last 24 hours, lol!
Notes from Mom: This week was extra special for me because I got a phone call on my birthday from my favorite missionary. Something so silly, but so special was that she was able to sing happy birthday with the rest of the family. Technology is amazing! She also got to talk to Granpa Jerry for a bit and that was special as well. I also got my first text and picture from a member! That was such a fun suprise and nice to hear from someone else that she is doing well. This is what she said, "Good Morning Sister Sellers, I wanted to share this cute picture of your beautiful daughter and say thank you for raising such a wonderful young lady. I loved having her in our home last night as she taught the plan of salvation to my friend Hollis. She is a great teacher and I also love watching how she works with Sister Lusk as her trainer. She is very kind. What you can't appreciate about this picture is that when we finished there was a huge down pour of rain. I offered them umbrellas but they all wanted to run out and enjoy it. Have a wonderful day! Sister Clawson" Lastly, I can't believe she didn't mention this in her letter, but there is now a Chikfila in her area and she is in heaven!
