I already composed a really detailed weekly email for all of you and somehow it deleted I think. I hit send, double checked that it did send, and now it is nowhere to be found. So, if it did send. Great!
Otherwise, here is a short concise version because I'm lazy..
Happy Monday!!
We had a wonderful week this week. So many amazing things happened and we are so blessed to be here in this area at this time! Missionary work isn't easy at all, but there were so many moments this week that makes it all worth it.
One of our investigators is getting baptized!! We are so so excited for her!
We also had our branch activity this saturday!
We have been planning this event for over a month now and as missionaries, we really wanted to get as many investigators there as possible.
Our event was called, "The battle at Cumorah, " haha. It was a series of competitions and games split between two different teams. The Sisters had a team, and the Elders had a team as well. We had so many awesome activities.
We got so many phone calls this morning from members that had to cancel on us and couldn't come. The YSA branch is super tiny anyways so if too many people said they couldn't make it, no one was going to be there. Almost all of our investigators told us they couldn't come which was really worrisome. After having put in so much effort and time into this project, it would be really difficult if the turnout wasn't very good.
We got there and it was a really small group. It was a little disappointing at first but, we started to play the games and everyone had a blast. The games were hilarious. We played a game called Egg roulette ( taking turns smashing hard boiled eggs on your opponents head until one person smashes the only egg that isn't hard boiled, LOL ), Wiggle worm racing ( inching across a field being encased in a sleeping bag, So funny!), Balloon hugging relay ( popping a certain number of balloons with your teammates by hugging people with the Ballon in between you ), Spicy pepper eating contest (Elder Lu, Elder Wang, Ethan, and Christine volunteered. Every participant was in tears by the end of this one. The peppers were so hot they were all sobbing hysterically...like, rolling around on the ground. It was SOOO funny. The last game was finding a quarter in a pie tin filled with whipped cream using only your face ( This one is self explanatory. I was nominated for this one, simply because I am the recipient of the quarter curse and the whole branch knows it. As I was doing this one, Jessica kept adding quarters to my pie tin! What a mess it was. Got some good pictures though, haha)
It was a really wonderful evening. We had so much fun!
I know this is a short email, but again, I already typed one up and I really want to take a nap, HAHA. Napping on a mission?? Who does that?
.. I do.
I love you all so very very much!
Send me emails! I love hearing from you!
The gospel Is true brothers and Sisters. I LOVE my savior so much. God is so good to all of us. What miracles have you seen today?
