Carl and Other Critters

o our friends at Habitat for Humanity love us. We volenteer there every week. They bragged about us to their big boss guy because we are such good helpers :) Well we were there on a Wednesday helping sort out donations and we found the CUTEST little tree frog. I was in LOVE. His name's Carl and we're best friends. But Sister Call made me put him back in the forest :( sad day. I bemoaned him all day to her. I MISS CARL! Best five minutes of my life. 

​

​So we had a fairly good week. :) It was great. It was really nice :) Monday night we jousted with swimming noodles for FHE. Fun stuff :) Then we had all of our appointments fall through on Tuesday Carl on Wednesday and Nicolle's wedding on Thursday! Yes by the way. Our very favorite member Nicolle got HITCHED! She found out she was getting married last Saturday and got married to him Thursday. In the relief society room. It was beautiful for being thrown together :) She was just so happy! And I was so happy for her.

Friday was a good day. We met with this awesome girl named Mckenzie. She's super sincere and prepared! We met with her last week and gave her a tour of the institute and taught the restoration. Then this week we met in a coffee shop and should've taught the word of wisdom, but it would've been awkward and I chickened out :) But she still hasn't come to church :( LAME. But we're praying and hoping that she will be touched :)

​

Oh! nother story!!! So we went to see Patricia and Samuel Saturday and they have the SOFTEST bunny alive. But the bunny has been hiding lately and was pretty anti social. They were both pretty tired of the thing. It wouldn't even let them pick him up. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. I snuck into the bunnies room, lured it close to me, and SNATCH. Bunny is mine! Just as soft as ever and wasn't kicking at all! He loved me! Thus I then became the bunny whisperer. Patricia was so jealous. I didn't want to put him down and was worried that it might be distracting to our lesson, but the Lord works in mysterious ways. Terra their anti religious roommate that usually ignores us couldn't ignore the bunny in my lap and stayed the whole lesson! She even commented every now and then! I need me a tracting bunny. Mom. It's a good idea. 

Well I'm out of time. Love you all! LIFE IS GOOD GOD IS GOOD! :)

HELLO! I got attacked by a crazy cat yesterday. Sister Call was really bugging Roxy's mean cat and he was getting so stressed out! So he flipped out. On me. Hahaha! It was actually really funny. Cats.

So we had a really good week this week! We went onto Campus and talk to a ton of people! One of whom is Frances. She' super awesome and we're going to be meeting with her again this Wednesday :) She has a 7 year old brother who wants to study religions and he has a Book of Mormon. NB. There was this other Girl who was on the rowing team and she asked us to explain Jesus for her. I guess she thought that we thought he was a different Jesus. Nope! The same one! The first thing I did was show her his name on my name tag. 

Sister Call's been teaching me Brazilian Jiu Juitsu :) Haha! She's really good at it, and I'm really good at tapping out. But I've almost mastered my shrimping technique :) Which is just basically squirming out from underneath her when she's got me pinned. I'm a good squirmer ;)

We had a really great lesson with Patricia this week. She could pop any day now due to a really crazy roommate. This girl named Tara keeps scaring poor Patricia and it's causing her really bad contractions. She's not due until November but still. Anyways, we just talked about God and how much he loves her and wants her to be happy. It was super powerful and I almost cried. She's an awesome individual and is really sensitive to the spirit.

Sunday was a little rough. Sister Call and I were sooo tired. We were snoozing all through our 6 hours of church! Ouch! We really just needed a nice Sunday nap. But nope! We're missionaries :) So we powered through and visited a couple of less actives.

OK MY TIME IS OUT! LOVE YA'LL!

Love,

Sister Herrin

We had a zone training this tuesday and Sister Call and I decided to match :) 

Transfers! Old Friends!

And I'm a Mormon

Heeeyyyyy.... :) Howdy! Well. 

We had a... It was good. Yes. We had a pretty good week :) haha! Not as magical as last week but still pretty good :) Not going to lie, It's been a little stressful. Part of it is because Missionaries really like to give commitments. Especially to other missionaries. And I've probably received a good 15 plus commitments this week from various missionaries. Don't ask me what any of them are because I didn't write any of them down. I would make an awful investigator :) haha!

 

Anywho we had transfers this week and boy that was a treat!!! I got to see all of my previous companions except for Sister Gunderson! So sad to have missed her but I got everyone else :) It was so nice :) I sat at a table with Sister Barlocker and Sister Hafen! :) 

Besides that not much has happened. OH! I have this new companion named Sister Call! And we are already great friends! So we've got the comp unity thing down :) We had a branch activity Friday and we were playing kick ball. Well she runs for the ball and totally biffs it! She did like a roll thing and just flashed the whole branch because her skirt went flying! haha! Super awesome first impression :) But now her arm's a little sore... I'm taking good care of her though :) And now everyone in the branch knows she's a Mormon.

The Elders that serve in the same ward as us are both new, so I feel like this week has just been a lot of planning and correlating. Not too exciting really :) But I'm still having a grand ol' time and loving being a missionary! Life is good! God is good! :)
