Taking the Shots: "Don't let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game!"

Hey ya'll!!

I hope all is well in Vegas or wherever you are.

This week was pretty good. We had multiple lessons with Tom and Laurie
and we received a ton of new investigators. We have been doing a lot
of tracting and a lot of less active-recent convert work as well as
working with the members in the ward. We are definitely striving to
make the ward better.
So last P-Day we had sisters p day, where all the sisters in the zone
get together and just hang out. So we did a scavenger hunt at target.
Hoe stay it was so much fun. SOOOO MUCH FUN! I love p-days because we
get to somewhat be normal people. Haha. Honestly I love missionary
work.

So I have been praying to have change. Because as a missionary you do
the same thing every single day. Wake up at 6:10 get ready to work
out, go exercise, get ready for the day, personal study, companion
study, training, lunch, lessons till 5, dinner till 6, then back out
doing lessons till 9, come home plan for the next day, and get ready
for bed. It's honestly a very strict routine and sometimes you get
stuck in a rut. But this week was definitely crazy.

We had zone meeting, we had service, and just a ton of other things.
It was nice to be able to have a little change in our schedule.

The biggest change of all is transfer calls, where president and
assistant to the president calls people if they are getting moved to a
different area. WELL I AM NOT GETTING TRANSFERRED, BUT the elders we
had in our ward (pictured below are getting moved and they are closing
the area that they were in, and Sister Johnsen and I are now covering
the WHOLE HARRISONBURG, DAYTON, AND BRIDGEWATER AREA, AS WELL AS YSA
STILL. Think Heavenly Father answered my prayers. YEP THATS RIGHT.

Keep praying for Sister Wilson, she is still getting diagnosed. 😔 but
we love her and president so much.

Also keep praying for Tom and Laurie that they will both be baptized.
Laurie was scheduled for this weekend, but is probably not getting
baptized because she hasn't been to church but only once. UGHHH.

Being a missionary is probably one of the hardest things I will ever
do, you love the people so much and you out all of your effort into
loving someone so much. I love you all so much.
