Hellooooo everybodyyy!! This week has already gone by way faster than last week haha which is surprising considering what happened...
Monday we had a district activity so we went out to lunch at casa express and then we carved pumpkins and it was soooo fun. The downside was the whole day I was getting a sore throat and nothing was helping. Later that night I got slapped in the face with body aches and a PAINFUL sore throat. I went to bed and then woke up at about 3 a.m. and thought I was dying. I finally took medicine and was able to fall back asleep. The next day we had to cancel all of our meetings because I was still not good. I slept pretty much the whole day which turns out is what my body really needed because I started feeling better.
Wednesday, we went to district council and our district leader brought everyone a Tupperware of his taco filling. That night Sister Israelsen made cilantro lime rice, really good beans, and homemade tortillas!! Plus, the taco filling so we had a Mexican night and I've been thinking about it all week because it was just that good.
Funny story time...one day this week I was doing my hair and needed to fix the pieces around my face so I asked sister hamblin if I could borrow her flat iron. She failed to mention that is sometimes gets wayyyy too hot and fries your hair. Well guess what? My hair around my face is friiiied and I want to cry!!
Since it's fall that means it's service season! A lady contacted me on Facebook and asked us to rake her leaves. We showed up on Thursday and it was the most leaves I've ever seen. Surprisingly we got it done in about an hour so that was fun.
I'm writing this on Sunday so today was fast and testimony meeting and it was really good as always. I actually stood and bore my testimony and before I got up my heart was POUNDING! I really don't know why considering there were 24 people at church today counting me and my companions lol. As per usual, I got up there and started crying lolol. Anyway, we actually had the Hagas in our branch feed us. They live about 40 minutes away so when we were driving back to Tiffin it was super dark. Before we left, sister Haga told us to be careful because there's lots of deer. I knew that but didn't think much about it. As I'm driving, I see one deer ahead of me cross the street so I slowed down a bit because it was still kind of on the road. As I got closer, a whole herd crossed super-fast and I almost hit a lot of them. Luckily, I was going slow enough so I didn't. Side note: I have never seen so many possums and raccoons!! They are everywhere here!
With this month being the month of Thanksgiving I've been reflecting a lot on what I'm grateful for and how I've been blessed in my life. I truly have been so blessed and I know it's because I am in the gospel. I am so grateful for my parents for raising me in the church because if they didn't I don't know where I'd be. I've also been thinking about why I am out on a mission and it's because I want other people to feel the blessings and joy the gospel has brought me and my family. Anyway, I love you all so much and think about you all the time! Let me know how you're doing! I love hearing from you guys!!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch
