Week 56: Abraham's Birthplace

 

Tuesday- I am grateful for half marathons, relating, and My Family.
Wednesday- I am grateful for freedom, familiarity, and phones.
Thursday- I am grateful for cute ponds, lesson prep, and Walmart.
Friday- I am grateful for gratitude, rain, contacts, and technology.
Saturday- I am grateful for examples, my piercings, mud, running, good weather, and music!
Sunday- I am grateful for all the elders in the house, windows, boots, and chalk.


Welp, I got transferred to Springfield, Illinois. which is Abraham Lincoln's hometown and really the only cool thing about this place.

I live in the 'mission mansion' with another companionship who are the Zone Leaders, one of them being Elder Brown!! It's weird living with him again but also so so great! My comp has been out 4 months, Elder Toomey, and is super sweet! We get along well. 

Welp we got put into lockdown again. This is like my 3rd lockdown with Elder Brown hahahah but anyways it's kinda hit us all hard.

Illinois is stupid flat btw,  send pics of the mountains!

A lot of our lessons have fallen through lately and we actually have 3 people on date right now! So that's sick. All the people are pretty old tho so they REALLY like to talk. 

We spend a lot of time contacting people as usual and I haven't seen any part of town except the church and uh Walmart, so we don't get out much which is pretty sad.

Nevertheless, the work goes on and so do we. It's good out here.

I have loved President Nelson's challenge because I love being grateful.

Living with 3 other elders has been a party and I'm really grateful for them!

I came to the realization this week that the mission has officially made me weird. Send help. I can't remember what normal life is like. I only know what being a missionary is like. Help.

Tell me about your Thanksgiving plans!

Love y'all 
Keep being grateful 😁❤
