La semana final La Sombra/Hillpointe: El fin de la misión....!

Hello everyone! This is the last weekly email from Sister Sellers, but be not afraid because there will be so many more and faster forms of communication once I return to the land of milk and honey. In all reality I'd still love to keep in touch with everyone so keep me updated! 

Monday: Wow! We has a great last pday full of fun things to do. We started off our work night with a dinner at the Massey families house and they are so sweet! Pretty shy girls, but we ended up having lots of great conversations. Then we set up so many appointments for the week and knocked some doors to try and find new people to teach. 

Tuesday: Today we didn't have a lot of out of the ordinary plans and Sister Milla wasn't feeling great still so we ended up taking it easy and taking breaks when needed. We got some fun stuff for Sister Lusk's birthday on Thursday and are excited to surprise her. We really just enjoyed our time together today while doing studies and then ended the day with some door knocking once we got restless. All in all a great day! 

Wednesday: This morning we had an amazing lesson with our friend Beatrice and were able to teach her the whole Restoration and Sister Milla said the first vision for the first time in a lesson. It was so powerful and I'm so proud of her. Hopefully she can continue to enjoy the blessings of teaching people in her new area. After that lesson we did our usual studies, and then had dinner at the Ready families house. Their kiddos are all on the autism spectrum and we love them! We got an hour replay of Lego Ninjago the series and played some checkers in which I lost miserably. Strategy games are just not my thing... It was also my last time teaching English today which was so sad! It has been one of my favorite parts about my mission and I'm definitely going to miss it. 

Thursday: Today was crazy! We started with lunch with the Smith family at the very nice restaurant in Downtown Summerlin which was a total party, then we headed off to squeeze in some weekly planning before we had a lesson with the Gonzalez/Cruz family. It's a mom and teenage daughter and they made alote to eat and we were just in heaven. We studied come follow me with them and had a great time. We tan from there to dinner with the Martin's and Watasbaughs! So fun and such a good reunion with old friends. Then, we rushed to the ward activity which was decade themed. Pictures are attached. I need to brush up on my decade fun facts, but it was a good time! All in all a day packed with fun things and fun events and we had such a good time with both visits and being a little spoiled today. 

Friday: This morning we wrote cards to a ton of impactful people in the ward and then delivered cookies and cards to everyone. That lead to tons of appointments and a very full day! Hermana Maynez took us out to lunch at Zupas and we got to chat! I love her and we have gained a great friendship. We got surprised dinner at a Greek place with the Ogden family and then finished the night at the Taylor's. All in all a crazy full day of member lessons and goodbyes. 

Saturday: Today we tried to have a lesson with this cool lady we met named Stephanie but she ghosted us! So we did some fire Spanish study instead and I took my fluency test and improved a ton since last time so I'm pretty happy about that! Then we knocked so many doors and had a good time while doing it. We were blessed by the Greve family who fed us Thai food and we had a really good convo with the Husband about the purpose of the temple and why it's so important in our lives. It was a really good conversation and we hope to see him at the temple soon. We ended the night at the Yocham's house for ice cream and goodbye! 

Sunday: Today was the most packed day ever! We started with all our church meetings, which were super good and I was just a tad bit sad when I realized next time I go to church I'll just be a regular Joe. Then we rushed to lunch with the Kalfke family and weighed my suitcases. Then we went to my departing interview with President which went super well. Finally we made it home just in time for President Nelson's devotional and salsa making, then we headed to ward missionary correlation where we had a mini going away party with all my favorite treats and people from the ward. An amazing last day full of so many happy moments and lots of meetings. 

I have loved my mission so much. My Testimony had made leaps and bounds and I have truly learned to hear him through this journey. I've made an impact in my community here in Vegas and these people and this town will always have a special place in my heart.
