Week 9!!!!

This last week has been so amazing!! I don't even have words to describe how much joy I have gotten from the work this last week!

Monday!! Pday!!!

We had district p day and it was so fun! We drove to Summerville and hung out at the church and played a bunch of games with all the missionaries in our district and then we all went to a members house and had dinner and they taught us about the happiness cycle! It was super interesting and I had so much fun! This district is the best district I could have asked for!!!

Tuesday!!

WE WENT TO THE TEMPLE!!!! Basically on this day the temple was closed to the public and it was just us missionaries at the temple! We got to do sealings, initiatories, and an endowment session!! The South Carolina, Columbia temple is so pretty! I am so grateful for the peace I was able to feel as I went through the temple with all of the other missionaries in my zone and in the other zone as well! I felt so close to Christ and to those that have already passed on! If you have the chance this week, GO TO THE TEMPLE!! The blessings you will get are innumerable!!

Wednesday!! 

We had DCM which is always a party! We do a mega roleplay every DCM and I got to be the person that the Elders were teaching and it was pretty fun haha! We also exchanged that night with the STLs!!!! 

Thursday!

EXCHANGES!! It was so fun to serve in Summerville 2nd for one day! The STLs are so amazing! Sister Allred and Sister Hess are the two I was with for the day! We had a super fun lesson with a few people! In one of those lessons I met my new BFF Charlie, the goat (literally, he's a goat). It was super fun and I got to join all the super important calls that they do everyday and got some juicy secrets that I had to swear not to tell anyone haha, it was a blast!! Those two sisters are like my big sisters, I love them so much!! 

Friday!!

Not much happened today besides the usual lessons and stuff!

Saturday!!

CRYSTAL AND AYREMIS ACCEPTED THE INVITATION TO BE BAPTIZED!!! WOOO!!! I am so so excited for them and their choice to follow Jesus Christ and be baptized!! ALSO Ayremis is 11 so that means he can get the priesthood as well once he is baptized!!! They are so amazing!! Please keep them in your prayers that they will continue to progress and be baptized on April 15!!!!

SUNDAY!!!

THIS DAY WAS STRAIGHT MIRACLES!!!!! We had a huge sacrament attendance!!! Crystal and Ayremis came for the first time!!! The PMF family we are working with, The Hunts, came for the second week in a row and their inactive parents, The Koths, also came with them again!! AND Brother Koth bore his testimony in sacrament meeting!! It was so hype!! Another PMF, The Hutsons, came to church as well, even though Cori, the nonmember, worked extremely late the night before!! And last but not least, Olivia, one of the Hunt kids who is baptized, GOT HER TEMPLE RECOMMEND!!! WOOOOO!!! God is so so good and he is so present over here in Walterboro!!!

Sorry this is so long but I had to include all of that stuff this week! I hope you all have the most amazing week ever!!! I love yall so much and I know God does too!!!
