November 11

Hello wonderfulls!

Not going to lie this week was crazy. I blinked and were at a Monday. AH!

Last p day flew by. Got to talk with family, go shopping and had a zone activity. It was seriously a great p day. I have made the decision to let my parents sell my car. It is bitter sweet but after being on the mission and driving some cars out here I know I'll want something different when I go home. Probably a Nissian rogue. ๐Ÿ˜ picture 1 is of an awesome bag sister martindale made for sister bell. Loved it so much. It glows in the dark! 

Tuesday was a good day. I take time every now and then to relisten to my blessing from January. I cant believe itll almost be a year since I recieved it and my life changed. It gave me such a clean slate that I'm forever grateful for. Tuesday kind of started the week for growth and realizing some things I could really work on. During district council I thought I was good with my patience but I realized that I could be better. So I've started working on that. We had service at the assisted living center and had fun playing bingo. We came back and went to dinner at the hammers. They're awesome. Delivered some invites for our harvest dinner the ward was doing and then had companion study. Sister galvez gave me a riddle that I'd like to share. Now missionaries dont have access to look up answers so try and be fair. This took me forever to figure out. There's a naked dead man in the middle of no where with a stick next to him. How did he die? Feel free to send back yes or no questions and I'll reply. ๐Ÿ˜ 

Wednesday was a really productive growth day. We did exchanges so sister Christensen was with me in our area. She made breakfast of eggs and hash browns which was do nice of her. We then went out tracting for a bit then came back for lunch. We then went out to the north area and did a ton of walking. Picture 2 is of a stress sign I love and finally got a picture with. Empress drive. We walked around 6 miles that day. Picture 3 is of sister Christensen and I.  We had dinner at sister Robinson's and she turned a leftover stew into a kind of pie with a pastry topping over the stew. Super good. Visited a few people after and then came back to the apartment. Sister Christensen gave me some really great feedback on my missionary work and how I can improve in different areas. It was really good. Ended exchanges and both areas had a great day. Picture 4 is of our sisterhood. I love these sisters so much! 

Thursday wasn't too eventful. Went over to glenda's and helped her organize her cross stitch books. She then gave us some mini cross stitched to do. Picture 5 is of mine and sister galvez work. Mine is the mouse and hers is the clean/dirty for the dishwasher. Picture 6 is of batboy I took while organizing.  Super fun. We had lunch and then did weekly planning. So so excited for all of the progress in this area. We walked the marina before dinner and then had dinner at sister baileys. She made a really good soup. We then listened to talks while cross stitching. 

Friday I hit the last page in my journal. So crazy! We did a ton of tracting that day. Knocked a lot of doors. Oo! One house has a bunch of kitties! I loved it. We had a lesson with David and we should be able to put him on date for baptism soon. Yay! We then went to the harvest dinner and it was so good! A lot of people were teaching were there and just a lot of awesome members. We ended up with a bunch of left overs! Love it. 

Saturday. Oh Saturday. This was an amazing day. Did a bit of tracting in the morning. Had leftovers for lunch. We then had a lesson with shelby at glenda's. It was really good. We then had a lesson with julie........and she asked yo be baptized! AH!! WE PUT HER ON DATE FOR NOVEMBER 23RD! WE ARE SO EXCITED! We then put gas in the car and went to dinner at kalen's. Beef stew. So good. Updated our maps and had a great day. 

Sunday wasn't much to report. It was a super chill day. Walked the marina and then went to church. I was so relaxed for church. Came home and had lunch. Sadly I got a bad headache so rested a bit. Had dinner at the church's. Super good tacos. Tried to visit a few people and then came home. Had a great study and got to tell sister galvez about my stories. My creativity has been super crazy and I love it. So grateful for my abilities. 

That's my week. So so so happy with everything going on. I love this work and this area. I hope everyone has a great week! Love you all! 

Love, 
Sister Sydney Hanks ๐Ÿงก 

P.s. letters and packages are loved ๐Ÿ˜
