week 26

Monday we played sports as a zone and then exploding kittens with
Spanish because they were the only other missionaries without a
dinner.

Tuesday we went to Shinn park . Went to Sister Hoskins. Went to institute.

Wednesday was district meeting. Only us and Spanish, because Elder
Feller didn't have his new companion

yet and was with ASL who are not in our
district. We tried to visit Dani. No one showed at bible study.

Thursday we went to ACS service and did inventory. It hurts your head
after a little bit. But we were definitely needed - Jorge had told the
other volunteers not to come in, he would have the missionaries but
only we were able to help out. We planned a surprise for Sister
DeGroff because it was her birthday and ended up heartattacking her
door and leaving flowers and peanut butter balls and a signed card -
watching her open the door while hiding behind some bushes was the
best part. xD then Sister Walton and Sister Harvey came for a
sleepover (allowed on certain days of the year) and we were given
permission by President Mella to stay up! But the time we had to wake
up was still 6:30, otherwise we would most likely have stayed up all
night! xD we played apples to Apple. also the Elders called to wish us
a happy new year.

Friday we all struggled awake. The other sisters left and we had
studies. We helped our appartment managers by cleaning an appartment.
We did weekly planning. My darling little sister Abigail was baptized!
:)

Saturday we had morning sports and met the new one. Elder Feinour is
from Pennsylvania. Went to ACS again to help finish inventory. Had a
lunch meeting with one of the bishops. Helped a member move into our
appartment complex. And now for the crazy thing we did.  Sister Smith
had been talking about this for a while and we finally did it. A
TimTam Slam. So basically you buy timtams and milk or hot chocolate,
put the beverage in a bowl, bite both the ends off the TimTam and
drink the beverage through the TimTam like a straw. It was disgusting
but somehow so much fun at the same time. Missionaries are weird, btw.

Sunday was Ward time switch meaning the Ward that was first is now
last. Horray. We had correlation with two different Ward mission
leaders after dinner at different times.

Overall, this week has been pretty good. :) the upcoming one will be
big for my family - I started the leaving of the children. My sister
Natalie is going to school! She is going to SVU and is super
nervoucited - or is that just me?

Hope this new year brings blessings for all! Love and miss you!

Love,

Sister Kelly
