Longest Email Ever😵‍💫

Haha sorry for not writing last week. I've got a lot to catch up on, so go microwave some popcorn before reading this.  I read it all in my own words tho!!! The word count of my post is nearly 6,000 words so I decided to speak it all for yall so you can multi task because for me, I love listening to podcasts while doing things! So feel free to do laundry or pick up your kids from school while I talk for 30 minutes. I'd also like to explain the goal of my writing.  I want people who haven't served missions the opportunity to hear some of the ins and outs of a mission. People told me it was going to be hard but also very fun and I tried to show what that means because I dont like it when people are vague haha. And I didnt add photos throughout my post but I added captions to my photos on Google photos now!! So feel free to scroll through those while I yap. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dtg_FTK7Ul9_zf28Xz7Lo520_idV4xps/view?usp=drivesdk What I spoke👇: Okay, the major news ...

Good morning! Ya girl has an early email now😁 I have written down highlights and just major events from this week. I hope yall enjoy! And im not offended if you have to put my post into chatgpt to summarize like my brother does, I know I write a lot haha. December 8 Almost got murdered After Pday on Monday, we did a lesson and some stopbys. One of them was Micheal, who we later learned is a member but at the time we thought he was someone just interested in the church. We drove over to knock on his door and got confused which one it actually was and I freaked out when sister graham told me she's been to that door before! I took pictures (with her consent) of her journal that day so yall could see my suffering from sister grahams perspective Yep so I freaked out and it was super funny to sister graham. I was so scared tho😭 I truly thought we were going to knock on the door of a murderer. The Lord takes care of us though so im glad he moved😅 December 9 Kels...

Jeffery R Holland talked about me😁

At the Christmas devotional, he talked about how everyone wants to be home for the holidays and a lot of people can't, college students sometimes but definitely missionaries. Then I think he said Joseph and Mary also weren't able to be home for the holidays, so that was cool to hear about and especially be talked about by Jeffrey R Holland. Us watching the Christmas devotional Okay, Good morning! Im starting writing my email at 7:54am mountain time so I dont forget to write it during the day😅 People we are teaching: Eboni and Eliylah Eboni is Eliylahs mom, Eliylah is 12 and currently not baptized so we get to teach her! Her mom loves us but not our ward, so during christmas break they are going to Missouri where their family is, to baptize Eliylah. We talked to our mission president about this situation and he said we need to coordinate with the missionaries in Eboni's home ward so we can complete the baptismal form here in Colorado.  Sandra We asked her to get...

They Killed My Jimbaco Idea?!😩

Context of the title: Sister graham, my companion, was telling me about just funny memes and then we saw a jack in the box at a stop light and it reminded her of a funny jack in the box commercial she saw on YouTube. I guess their mascot is just some dude in a clown hat and it was like him at a conference room pitching an idea for the jimbaco (some food mixed with a taco) and he's cheering alone going “ Jimbaco! Jimbaco!” with his arms raising and trying to get this board to approve the idea but they're dead face. The commercial then cuts the mascots living room where his son in utter disappointment in a high pitched voice goes “They killed my jimbaco idea?!😩” and the mascot dad is consoling the son lol. Sister graham explained all that to me because we aren't allowed to actually watch the clip, even on pday, but her delivery of it was so funny that we keep quoting it to each other and we die laughing all the time. If I wasn't on my mission it would probably be the dum...
