On Wednesday, we did a blitz! So, the STLs, Sister Harmon and Hermana Davis, and our zone leaders, Elder Rivera and Elder Barney! It was so fun. We did it in the Morton area... So the Elders were in Washington, Sisters Blake and Harmon were in Morton, and Hermana Davis and I were in East Peoria! And we each found someone... We found Yvy! She is super cute. said if she were going to join any church, it'd be ours! And she was super excited to read the Book of Mormon!
The other sisters found Katelyn, who literally already lives by all of ours standards, and really wants a good church that teaches the things of God! Whelp, here we are!
And the Elders found Cheyenne! We have yet to meet her, but they said she was totally solid and awesome!
Then, the best day of every transfer... ZONE CONFERENCE! We woke up super early and drove the 2 hours to Davenport, but it was worth it!
Selfie with President badger XD
it was a fun meeting! Afterwards, we went to lunch with the zone at Red Robin, and Elder Wood and Elder Schoenfeld (The APs) joined in!
And took some zone pictures! Having the nicest phone of the sisters, my phone was chosen as tribute... And therefore was at the mercy of the APs... #moreselfies !
Then we drove home, and got back at about 9:45, and went to bed!
On Friday, we had our favorite... WEEKLY PLANNING! We also were supposed to have a lesson, and on our way there, we saw a guy sitting on his porch, smoking. We felt like we should stop, so we did! His name is Will, and he was currently in the process of deciding whether God exists. Definitely a miracle! We talked to him for about an hour, and we are planning on going back this week! Sadly though, because we had talked with him for so long, our appointment got cancelled. But, we will see her again, and we got to meet Will :)
On Saturday, it was... THE PUMPKIN FESTIVAL! actually, it was Wednesday through Saturday, but we didn't go until Saturday, where we volunteered to work the grill! It was so fun!
We even got pumpkin flavored ice cream as a treat! Sadly, here is the pain part... For anyone who knows me, I burn REALLY easy! But, I hadn't gotten burned yet this summer! Well, that changed...
I guess I should have worn sunscreen. I'm still super burned! It is super funny though.
On Sunday, we went to church! And Barb came! It was awesome and she loved it! She is still planning on being baptized on January 12th, which is awesome! But that is most of the fun things that happened this week! And this transfer has just flown on by... This is my last full week with Sister Blake! It's crazy! I'm going to miss her!
