Hello eveybodyyyyy!! This passed week has been absolutely insane so let's get into it!!
We started out the week with a zone activity. It was literally the funnest thing ever! We had a nerf gun war and then everyone brought food and we had a mini Thanksgiving potluck. I made the most bomb funeral potataoes. I guess you could call me a chef lol.
The next day we had exchanges and me and sister Israelsen went up to Toledo with Sister Carter. It was sooo fun! I always feel super weird going from Tiffin to an actual big city because I am not used to civilization. I've gotten used to the emptiness. While we were there we knocked a few doors but nothing came of it. The next day for lunch we went to this place called the Tropical smoothie cafe and it is literally my favorite place ever!! I got a smoothie called the beach bum with dark chocolate in it and it was to die for!! I also got a ceasar salad wrap which was also delicious.
We drove to Perrysburg after that to go to distrcit council with President and Sister Johnson. It's always good to talk with them and try to squeeze any information I can out of them about transfers. Usually they can't keep a secret but they did pretty good this time. I did manage to find out that we are having a mission Christmas Eve party!! I am soooo excited because I've never been with the entire mission!!
After district council we went to a lesson with Wayne. We thought he had fallen of the edge of the earth but we had an awesome lesson and put him back on date for baptism for December 10!! We were soooo excited!
That night we had another lesson with a former named Patricia (the lady from the first week of my mission who is missing her big toe) and right before we walked up to her apartment, Sister Israelsen got and email that she got her visa and her flight plans!! She left this morning at 7:15 am:(( The rest of the week was sos crazy and stressful because both of my companions were/are packing their entire lives up because Sister Hamblin also goes home this week.
Thanksgiving was pretty much a normal day but we got to help cook a lot of the food. I got to make the mashed potatoes and that was awesome because I tried to do it like my dad so I could feel a little bit more like I was at home eating with my family. They weren't perfect but they were the best I could do. Thanksgiving was great overall!!
On Sunday it was so sad because we had to say goodbye to everyone. They threw us a goodbye linger longer and had a whole musical number. You could say we are their absolute favortie because they've never done that for anyone else hehe. After church we got on the road. We went all the way to Southfield to get Sister Israelsen's visa and then we went down to Canton to drop her off at the sisters apartment there because they were the ones that took her to the airport at 4 in the morning. It was going to be us but then the APs called us and told us we had to drive back to Tiffin that night. I'm the only one that can drive so I was sick of driving needless to say. It was sooo sad to say goodbye to Sister Israelsen. We all got so close and I'm gonna miss her so much.
A little miracle/funny story from the week was from Saturday night. We had ran to the dollar store right before a lesson because we needed plastic cups for the lesson. We were already running a little late because it took us a while to check out. We pull out of the parking lot and are stuck at a red light. When I tell you we were at this red light for 10 MINUTES I am not even exaggerating. Our lesson was a 6 and it was like 6:06 at this point. My patience was definietly being tested. All of the car that were behind me reversed and drove through a random parking lot but I couldn't do that because someone would have to back me. After the longest 10 minutes ever I told sister Hamblin to pray that it would change to green because we were all convinced it was broken. She prayed and literally 30 seconds later, it turned green. God is real.
I hope you all have a great week!! Transfers are this week so stay tuned to see what happens!! I love you all so much!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch
