September 22nd- September 29th

Heyyyy y'all! How was your week? Well, I hope!

Sister Kimura and I had a great week!  Loomis is doing great!

Monday, September 22nd.

It was preparation day! We got to do the usual stuff, then went to the

stake center to  play sports, email, all of that good stuff.

We left around 5:30pm for dinner with the stoddards, WML and his

lovely wife, they took us out to eat at a Thai place- and it was good

stuff. Then went by to see some people then saw Brandon and Ashley,

two of our investigators. And we got to share a video with them about

families and it see them all together and feeling the spirit it was

great! Then went back and planned for Tuesday.

Tuesday, September 23rd.

We had district meeting, and it was great. Then did finding. And had

dinner with the stakers, it was good stuff too! Then for dessert, the

member took us out to get frozen yogurt and the whole ward was there

haha it was cool though cuz we got to see some great people. Then had

a BOM class at the church. And that went great.

Wednesday, September 24th.

We did a lot of finding, and got to meet a lot of people. We went

around and shared with people about the " family history fair" coming

up in Lincoln in a couple  of weeks.  Then had dinner with another

lovely member. Then went to see a RM, her name is Alicia, and she just

got back from San Antonio, TX....YEP! I love it she says y'all a

lot...and her family just moved in the ward. And we got to meet her

nonmember step dad and we had a great visit with them. Then went home

and did nightly planning.

Thursday, September 25th.

Did a lot of finding with people in the ward and then with people we

met on the street while tracting. Using the family history fair

invite, and we got a call from one of the people we got in contact

with. His name was Paul, and called us back! Which was a miracle

because most of our set lessons had fallen through. So we went and

tried to catch him at home- no show, but we were able to see some

other people along the way and we had a RM come with us too so we saw

a lot of success.

Saw Lynn, a lady we have been trying to contact for weeks, so we

finally got see her then went to dinner. And it was with the mcgigans

and we got to have some soup...cuz it's fall weather lol and it was

great!  Then went home and ninth routine.

Friday, September 26th.

We had weekly planning and it went great!

We went out to lunch as a district so it was great too!

Then we had a lesson with Austin and Gerald, and it was his birthday

so it was a little party with cake and ice cream! The lesson went

well!

Then saw Wendy, then helped out her roommate Judy with some stuff.

After that we had dinner with the thomsons, the members we live with,

and their family was there. It was waffles for dinner!!! Everything

was good.

Then we went and saw the stakers, and got to meet their daughter,

Kalyan, another RM who served in Texas..and it was so great! And got

to meet their friend, Nathan, and he has very little to no background

in God. We showed them the "because of him" video and we were able to

challenge him to read and ask if the book was true.

Then came home and did night time routine.

Saturday, September 27th.

Spent all day at the Barry's doing service. So it was fun! Got lots of

sun, got to spend some quality time with their family, then we came

home and got ready for dinner with the la Plantes. So it was all good

stuff. They had homemade ceaser salad, and we got to hear an

experience about prayer with their family.

Then went to the general women's conference...and it was great! Then

came home and planned. And prepared for Sunday!

Sunday, September 28th.

Church was great. We had ward conference and the stake president spoke

to us as well as bishop Latham. It was so good! Tony  la plante and

Sean Barry came to church! It was so good to see them! Then we went

and saw some people after church, did all of our updating stuff. Had

dinner, then saw more people, then came home to get numbers ready and

wait for transfer calls.

NEWSFLASH: sister kimura is going STL! In the last zone I came

from....CHICO! She is going to love it! And I totally called it.

President called her so it was offical. So she's getting stoked for

that! My new companion is sister pickup, she's been out for 5 months.

And we are all meeting up on Tuesday around 1:30pm. So after that

call, I got ready for be while she was packing.
