Taking the Shots: "We didn't start the fire! 🎼" (week of 11/16-11/22)

Okay wait! Wasn't I just emailing you like 2 days ago??? Okay hold up!
This is going by way to fast. This is going way to fast! I'm so sorry
mom but I'm staying here, and it's for reals. I love Virginia. Though
it is beginning to get colder. Like FREEZING! Especially for a Vegas
person! My companion gets tired of me saying, "I'm sooo cold!!" Or "
it's freezing" haha I'm such a baby! Oh well. My companion is used to
the cold because she's from Utah and well she usually gets snow, and
we don't!

Well let's start out with Monday! We had zone P-day! So when we get
together, it's usually all of the elders and sister in the zone! Well
we play oompa! Basically it's ultimate frizbee, played with a football
and you play on a basketball court. Well it gets really really
competitive and aggressive. Well I went down to pick up the football
to play it, and Hermana Hala'eua kicked the ball, and as I went down
to pick it up and she kicked my arm, well I didn't freak out to bad,
but it hurt. Well that night I couldn't move it, and well called the
medical missionary helper for the mission and he said to go to a quick
care and to get it x-rayed. Well that was what our Monday night was.
We got an x-Ray and nothing was broken, just a sprain, and all is
well. The doctor put me in a sling. That was our Monday night. Pretty
boring!

Tuesday was FILLED with tracting and doing recent convert-less active
work! I love doing less active work and it is probably one of my
favorite things to do! I know that less active work is so important
because they are missing out on the gospel just as much as the other
people are! Except less active is sooooo hard because they say they
aren't less active but they really are! Just gotta love them!

Let's see Wednesday!! We had district meeting and then after that we
went to Avante! Where we did one on ones with the people and made
crafts with them! Well funny story.. There is a grumpy older lady who
just does not like company and well they have someone else in the room
with them. Well we decided to make a craft for thanksgiving for the
grumpy lady and when we went in we would just hang it on her board.
Well we walked in and the other lady was in there and sister Johnsen
went and hung the craft on the board, while I talked to the other
lady. Well as we were leaving I told the (grumpy) lady to have a good
day. And I finished talking to the other one, and she starts yelling
at me. I had said, "Huhh" because I didn't understand her the first
time and well she basically mocked me. Haha! But it's okay! She also
said some real mean things to me, but our goal is to make her love us
and to talk to us, and that means we just have to pray for her and
keep going to see her and making sure she is loved! The rest of
Wednesday we did tracting and had lessons! It was a funny day!

WEEKLY PLANNING DAY! Aka.... Thursday! Pictures below!!! They were so
BIG! Well nothing really happens on weekly planning days! Sooo. That
was really boring

Friday! Service for sister Cason! And we make her food and that is
always really fun! Then we went knocking at this new complex. MIRACLE
TIME! We met this boyfriend and girlfriend Whitney and Alex! And they
have both been trying to get closer to God and Christ and have been
praying to have people help them! The lesson was so amazing and the
spirit was so strong! HUGE MIRACLE!

Saturday!! We were in Bridgewater all day! We basically worked on Less
active work all day! We went and saw Tesa who is 9 months pregnant and
was basically about to have the baby!

Sunday! Who doesn't love Sunday's! It's amazing! We went all day to
church and went to 2 sacraments( we had an investigator come to the
morning one because she had to study for tests for the upcoming week!)
well let's just say it was a really long day! In the last sacrament
meeting though, Tesa started to have contractions and we were sitting
next to her. Never in a million years have I ever thought of someone
goi into labor! She had two other daughters and they started to freak
out so we had to all them down!

Anyways it was such an awesome week! And it FLEW BY!

I love you all! And HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Eat lots of turkey!

By the way it's now in the 30s!

Love,
Sister Pewtress

The biggest leave ever!
