Wow! So many things to do. I have had lots of new experiences this week, involving STL life, but also, just regular Rancho life. Lots of meetings and fun new experiences.
Monday: Today we did a lot of knocking doors and some street contacting. Sadly no new people to teach, but it is finally cooling down here in Vegas, we are at a whole 90 degrees which is about 20 degrees cooler than it has been so I can't wait. We worked on a new ad as well so hopefully that goes well. A pretty chill day which was nice after pday.
Tuesday: Today we had District Council and a new meeting called zuddle? Basically it is just a little pre district council chat on how the zone can improve and it was really good! Then we headed to the tire shop (Llantera) and got 2 nails taken out of our tires! I literally have the worst luck with cars which scares me for real life when I actually have to pay for these things. WE ended up getting to plan our MLC training and get some contacts in while we were there. Later we went to the temple president's house for dinner and man did we eat good! Plus, bonus, we had Texas sheet cake for dessert which was fabulous. WE ended the night with some mutual and water balloon volleyball.
Wednesday: Today was MLC! We got to go all the way up to Mt. Charleston to do this leadership council in the mountains. Never did I think I would need a jacket at 70 degrees but here we are. We got to talk about a lot of really good things and I really think that it is going to be good for the mission. We gave a training session and I was a little nervous about it, but it went great! We were there literally all day, So, we just came home, did some contacting and then ended the night with good old personal study.
Thursday: Today we had yet another meeting called MLC review for all the district leaders in the zone. Then we met with our friend Velma and she is super solid, hopefully she comes to church this Sunday. Then we had dinner with the Sprague family and went out knocking doors after that. Then we got to switch and I went home with Sister Willes. We had a good night chatting and I was a lot less nervous after I met her.
Friday: First exchange as an STL!! So fun! I went with Hermana Willes and got to go back to Summerlin and enjoy the crazy life there. We visited the cutest 92 year old lady named Janet and we went to Canes for lunch. We got to learn how to knock doors and Facebook finding. I loved getting to know her and helping her feel like she really can do this and really is a good missionary was super awesome. We took some super fun pictures that I will post below.
Saturday: Well, Sister Hunter woke up feeling pretty crappy, but we had a service project to go to and we were hoping that she could just work it off. We helped the Vegas trash department collect large items for 6 hours.... It was hard! We were trying to move a fridge and we accidentally dropped it... however, this fridge defied the laws of physics and rolled away from this lady's car!! Milagros. Anyway, after that adventure we went home and poor Sis. Hunter fell asleep, we ended up taking it pretty easy the rest of the day. Part of the day we messaged people who liked our Facebook page and my account got flagged because I messaged too many people, whoops.
Sunday: Sadly Sister Hunter still woke up pretty sick so we had to stay home from church which was a sad day, because 3 of our friends showed up for church!!! We think the AP's took good care of them though so fingers crossed. We ended up contacting over 50 people by phone which was pretty crazy. I loved that even though we had to stay in all day we were still able to do missionary work. We had a lot of Facebook work done as well and I am slowly getting better at Ads and figuring all of that out. Overall a pretty boring day, but we did lots!
P.S. Grandma Anna makes the best cookies, (the member we live with that is 84) Sadly, I couldn't get a picture because we don't want to get her sick, but I will be sure to send some next week.
