Helloooo everybodyyyy! This week has been a cold one and it's just going to keep getting colder so wish me luck! A humid cold is literally the worst! No matter how many layers you have on it doesn't work. You might as well go outside naked because that's what it feels like lolol.
On Monday we had our first district activity of the transfer so we went to Lake Orion, Michigan, and we played volleyball and basketball. I almost won elimination but I definitely didn't, I'm just not a baller. Afterward, we went to the mall I talked about last week and ate dinner in the eatery. I got a Philly cheese steak and it was really good.
On Tuesday I got to meet a couple that can't come to church because of health issues. Their doctor told them they couldn't but they are THE cutest! Their names are the Saussers and they are converts to the church. While we were visiting, Brother Sausser told me his conversion story and started bearing his testimony and he couldn't get through it without crying. I felt the spirit so strongly and could just feel the love he has for the gospel. He then offered to give the closing prayer and couldn't finish it because he was crying. In the middle of the prayer, he said "you've gotta finish it butch" so then sister Sausser finished the prayer. He was also telling us how much he loved his wife and he started crying doing that too! It was so tender. Sister Sausser was a little embarrassed but it was funny haha.
The next day we had district council which was good and then during my lunch break, I got my hair cut! I don't think my mom knows about that so SURPRISE! It was quite the experience. We visited another less active member names Sister Fuentes and she's hilarious. She used to be in the army and still has access to getting background checks on people, she told me when I start dating to give her a call and she will hook me up with whatever background check I need
From Wednesday to Thursday we had an exchange with the sisters that we are over. I went to Flint, Michigan for the first time! While I was there I couldn't drink any of the water because I'm not trying to get lead poisoning lol. It was fun though. I love going to other people's areas and seeing how missionary work is different from my area.
On Friday Sister Jorgensen and I started preparing for our Zone Conference discussion that we have to give so that's been interesting. I'm not a fan of public speaking so we'll see how this goes.
There's this lady that we stop by and her name is Cherié. She is a little 82-year-old lady and she is literally like my grandma (she tells us to call her that). She is making both me and sister Jorgensen a blanket and every time we go over she gives us water and candy. When we leave she gives us the tightest hugs. It's kind of funny because she's no taller than 5 feet so she comes to my stomach basically.
It's crazy that Christmas is literally this week. With that being said I have been thinking a lot about the true meaning of Christmas and how that single event has changed a lot of people's lives. I am forever grateful for that first gift that was given to all of us by our Heavenly Father and I'm grateful for this time of year that we are able to celebrate his birth. I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas and spends lots of time with their families! I love you all sooo much!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch ♡
