a week

So this week I have been plagued by a small cold and allergies which
has gotten me really congested, it has been very annoying. Brain fog
all week. Yay. xD but I have been trying to stay focused because
missionary.

Monday we did laundry and studies then went to Zumba, which ended up
being cancelled. We got ready and went shopping. Ate lunch. Emailed.
Window shopped in Fremont - because we went to a trampoline place. It
was fun! Went to dinner. Saw Sister Preston (member in the Ward). Saw
Sister Daily (another member in the Ward).

Tuesday we did studies. Went to open heart. Some members I knew from
the YSA who are in this Ward took us to lunch. We tried to see people.
Ate dinner. We went to another members for a lesson and they fed us.
Yay two dinners.

Wednesday we did studies and went to Zumba. Some of the elders came to
Zumba . . . Went to open heart gardens. Ate lunch. Got ready. While
trying to see people we saw Sister Jeppsen. saw Sister Thomas. Saw the
morris'. Went to dinner. Saw the roylances.

Thursday we did studies. Went to district meeting. Ate lunch. Saw
brother Smyth. Went to dinner. Saw the Girardellis.

Friday we did studies. Went to quail service. Ate lunch. Got ready.

Saturday we were on exchanges so I was with Hermana Grant is the
Spanish program for a day. We did studies. Went to the church to print
fliers for their talent show and make some calls. Ate lunch. Saw
Naysiea. Saw some other families I sadly don't remember the names of,
one of which asked for sister hertig to help her daughter with math
homework. Went to dinner with a less active at a Mexican restaurant-
and of course Spanish program means the elders were also there. Went
with one of their members, Julia, to see Patricia. The other sisters
picked us up to go home - have I mentioned that I don't like riding
bikes in the dark? Even if I have good lights, the cars blind me.

Sunday we did studies, dropped the Hermanas off at church. Went to
church, and it was my favorite time of year - primary program! All the
cute little children singing while I try not to sing all the songs out
loud. . . And I knew all of them. xD I heard that my family also had
their primary program. We ate lunch. Saw the harris' after picking up
the Hermanas to drop them at home so they could have bikes. Saw the
Schofields and the Spencer's, two families sister hertig hadn't been
able to see. Went to dinner - homemade pizza and the member also gave
us an entire homemade pizza to take home. :)

So that was my week. Hope everyone had a good week as well!

Love and miss you all! Stay safe!

Sister Kelly

a lot of people. We emailed. Went to dinner. Tried to see some people.

Tuesday we did studies. Went to open heart. Ate lunch. We were on bike

named Natalie - sadly she didn't want to come back (Sis, do not let
that be you ever!). Went contacting. Ate dinner. Tried to see some

Tried to see people. Ate dinner, did phonetacting. Went to watch the
women's session again with an investigator, but she couldn't make it.
Happy birthday to Sister Hertig! :)

Thursday we did comp study and then went to meet Jamie, a new
investigator from formers. Not sure where that will go. . . Went to
district meeting. Ate lunch. Had interviews with President. Saw Sister
Wissler, she is sweet. We are trying to do 20 lessons a week-including
active members-because Bishop Caussé promised that we would see
miracles if we doubled our lessons to 20. Saw Kara a sweet little 9
year old recent convert. Went contacting. Ate dinner. Did personal
study.

Friday was MLC, so I was with Hermana Bocanegra all day while our
companions went to the meeting. We did studies. Went to Zumba. Went to
Quail service. Ate lunch. We had the bikes because they had to drive
to San Jose. So, I fell in the middle of the street while trying to
see some of the Hermanas investigators. Skinned my knee a little. Yay.
(The bike seat moves and the brakes are different than I'm used to so
the seat moved in the middle of the road and I braked cause it shocked
me so down I went. Went to dinner. The Pleasanton sisters were there
because our dinner knew me from the YSA Ward and when she found out I
was going to her home Ward she said oh I'll sign up for you on this
day too. So. :) started weekly planning.

Saturday was CONFERENCE! My favorite thing! It was super amazing. :)
my favorite part was the four missionary talks. After conference we
saw Sister Stearns, a sweet lady who remembered Sister Hertig's
birthday. She is photosensitive so her house is boarded up. Also, on
the way there Sister Hertig fell and skinned one of her knees. Lol.
Ate dinner at Fosters Freeze and saw a member from the family Ward in
Pleasanton who was getting ice cream with his brother in law after
priesthood session. Finished weekly planning.

Sunday was more conference. :) yay. The Spanish branch fed us lunch,
then we continued conference. Went to dinner. Had correlation. Went to
Pleasanton so the STLs could plan ZTM while Sister Bocanegra and I
contacted a referral they had received. Went back to Livermore so they
could plan our ZTM.

Family I love you. :) also please send me at least one thing each that
you loved about conference (Lydia, could you get that from the little
kids?). Danke :)

Love and miss you!

Love,Sister Kelly
