hot champions‏

Hello my people :)

Happy Fathers day to a rad dad! Mucho love there xoxo

Well this week was swell. Wonderfully swell. 

The only miracle that happened was that we didn't die from heat stroke. 

And sometimes that's all the miracles that happen and sometimes thats all the miracles you need. 

Our teaching pool is still extremely low so we have been going finding alot so thats what this week consisted of in the missionary work side. 

The only noteworthy thing that happened was that we didn't die when we tracted an entire street when it was 105 and a billion percent humidity. 

I had a moment when I really thought we were going to die. 

I have never had the experience that just standing at people porches would make you literally sweat. and then walking not far at all from porch to porch would make you actually drip sweat. 

It was quite the experience. 

I don't think I would ever recommend it to anyone. 

Oh yes. A little bit more about this street. We knocked the whole street and got rejected alot. Ya know that southern style rejection where they will talk to you very nicely, offer you water, but then they will rejected you sweetly. 

So we went through this whole street of this and when we were getting to the last houses we needed a pick me up. We remembered that when we were going through Bishop Stocks mission photos from Boise that there was a picture of him and his companion standing at a door step. When we asked what that was about he told us that after someone rejected them they said, "Okay. Can you take a picture of us?"

So. 

We definitely did this. 

And it turned out wayyy better than expected.

Welcome to the South. 

*disclaimer* we are literally dripping with sweat and disgusting so yes we love each other but no we do not want to touch each other.

 

 

 

 

After she rejected us, we asked her to talk a picture of us and she says, (direct quote) 

"Oh yes! Like a selfie??"

Yes. yes ma'am. Exactly like that.

 

 

 

So in conclusion. We are champions. and we tracted this whole street with a trail of sweat. *midcrop

 

 

 

 

In other news

We also had ZTM, a meeting with all the missionaries in our zone, and its my first one as an STL and in a new zone! So that was a little unnerving because I knew some missionaries and all the sisters but that was it and as STL's we give an instruction and the Zone Leaders give an instruction. 

So not only did I have to meet a whole new group of missionaries, I also had to instruct them all. so wow. 

But we prepared and I prayed alot and in all honesty it went really really well! I really enjoyed it! I really felt a ton of love for our zone, it was wonderful.

This is our zone! they are a cute happy bunch :)

Sister gang.

Sister Bell, Manuma, Belnap, and Pfleger

Say goodbye to Elder Ross. He goes back home in 2 weeks :'(((

Also had another exchange with the Opelousas Sisters,Sister Fox and Sister Amezcua. Little known fact, Sister Fox is Sister Steve's bff from home. Like college roomies bff. So that is pretty rad. I've been hearing alot about her so we got to hang out and chat :) legend continues. She is purrty rad :)

 I was with Sister Amezcua. 

And family. Write down this day. I don't know whats going to happen but I think and I hope Sister Amezcua and me are going to be really really good friends. 

I have heard lots about her and have really admired her from afar as a missionary and person. Like alot. I really admire her

And apparently she has heard about me and thought the same! 

It was so so valuable to be companions with her and both of us felt like we are going to be really really good friends for a long time. So thats really exciting! Also I think I got her convinced to go to BYU H and maybe we will room together. (5/5 for the Hawaii team)

 

So pretty much this week was hot.

full of finding new people with no success. 

But its okay because we are trying to find the ones that Heavenly Father has prepared for us. 

Also new missionary friendships and changing mission culture. 

And fathers! 

I love yall so so much! 

Go take a selfie with a stranger. 

LOVES
