February 13-20
Day 132: After emails I gave an elder a haircut, then like 5.2 seconds later word got around our zone that I cut hair and 4 elders asked if I could cut theirs on the next p-day. We had zone activity at a members home...they have a sweet backyard! We played basketball and ate hot dogs. Then for the YSA family home evening we got CPR certified so that was cool.
Day 133: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Honestly Valentines day is like Hanukkah. Hanukkah is only celebrated by Jewish people and Valentines day should only be celebrated by people in relationships. At least that's what someone in our ward told us. LOL! It was a long day, and as you could guess not a ton of people wanted to talk to us...but institute was good. It was us, 2 students and the teacher. LOL!
Day 134: We did mormon.org time and got to print off some talks! #party! We got fed today, that was good. It was Mexican food. YUM! Then we had correlation at the Habit and our ward mission leader bought us milkshakes! 💖
Day 135: We had Zone conference today! There's always an award handed out for the cleanest car (inside) and.... drum roll please WE WON!!!! We got mini hot wheels cars! Mine was blue!
Day 136: Okay, today was insane. It was raining so hard. It was very windy and wet! Californians nicknamed the storm "Lucifer" LOL! We taught a less active today, originally we were going to talk about 3 Nephi 11 when Christ comes to the Americas. But instead we talked about cutting out bad music. He shared with us that he hasn't felt the spirit in the longest time because he listens to rap basically 24/7. We challenged him to do a "music fast" where he only listens to spiritually uplifting music/positive music. Then we had dinner at a place called Jinkys with a member. YUM! Then we found out our Stake Presidents backyard was flooding so we went to help. Anywho our phone got water damage so we ran home to put it in rice. While we were there we realized that our laundry room was flooding because our water heater overflowed. So we spent the rest of the night fixing that. The Elders came over to help us while the worker was here so we could all be in the apartment. Then we found out our gas might be out. So now we have no hot water.
Day 137: Somehow, in the middle of the night while our phone was taken apart sitting in rice our phone decided to call the Elders quorum president 18 times...at 2 am. So he freaked out and kept trying to call us but it went to voicemail cuz our battery was out. Long story short, He thought we were in danger, like at gun point, or kidnapped. So at 10 am they decided to round people up to go find the sister missionaries "dead in a ditch". Our phone ended up working while hooked up to our cars bluetooth so we called them back and explained everything before they sent their search party. We got our gas fixed and a new phone today! But yeah, nothing too exciting happens as a missionary. 😉
Day 138: HAPPY SUNDAY! We spent most of our day teaching Rachel, going to church/meetings, and visiting less actives. Nothing terribly huge or exciting!
Day 139: P-DAY! So far we've done shopping, emails, and cut 4 elders hair. Now we are writing letters and probably gonna take a nap. LOL then FHE, we're playing volleyball!
