La Semana de Hermana Prue

November 18, 2019 Hola Everyone! In the middle of our evening companionship prayer last Monday, I hear Hermana Connolly shriek and as I opened my eyes, I watched her leap onto the countertop. I followed suit and when I had finished the prayer, I asked what happened. Hermana Connolly had her eyes open during the prayer and saw a mouse scurry across the floor. As we were watching we saw the mouse dart for our island in the kitchen to the counter against the wall and we both screamed. We deliberated on what we should do for a little bit on the countertop, and ended up calling one of the senior couples to talk it through with us. We haven't seen anymore of the mouse, so hopefully that excitement is over for the time being. The new missionary standards came out on Gospel Library this week and Hermana Connolly and I read through it all. There wasn't anything too dramatically changed, but I did enjoy going through it all. I am grateful that we have those guide...

November 11, 2019 Hola Everyone! Transfer calls came on Saturday, and Hermana Connolly and I will be staying together for another transfer. Elder Garner will be finished with his mission and going home, and Elder Cuevas will be heading out to Long Island for his last transfer. Elder Meyer and Elder Homer will be joining the district as office Elders, and everyone else is staying the same. Hermana Connolly and I are excited to make Christmas time the best time to be a missionary. After 67 hours in the apartment of on and off sleeping, Hermana Connolly was able to recover enough to start proselyting again Wednesday morning. She is feeling lots better. I had a bonus exchange with Sister Ingersoll and we had probably the most blanaced exchange of studying, teaching, and finding that I've had in a while. Sister Ingersoll really wanted to try the Milk and Cookies place in our area, so another ice cream run we had. The people we're teaching may be few at the m...

November 4, 2019 Hola Everyone! This week was full of miracles and tender mercies. Last week President Teuscher announced that we would be having a mission training on working with Priesthood and ward leaders on Saturday, and that we would hearing from his new counselor, President Mortensen, who was just released as a bishop in the stake I'm currently working in. It was excellent and we learned so much! I feel so grateful to be in a mission where I'm learning so many skills that will help me for the rest of my life, as well as becoming a more effective missionary. We had a really good conversation with Obispo yesterday, and we're excited to develop our relationship with the ward better. One of my favorite quotes from the meeting was Sister Teuscher telling us that, "Grateful hearts are magnets for miracles". Before the meeting, we were able to meet with Alex, one of the girls we are teaching right now. She really wanted to meet with us even though sh...
