3. us and Kyla!
4. me being attacked by silly string after opening our Christmas presents
What was your favorite gift for the mission? (practical gift?) I really loved all the scarves I got from everyone! They are all different and I can wear them all with my outfits :} so my neck and face will never have to be cold again :} hehe
What was your favorite just for fun one? We got some bubbles from a member in our ward ;} those are so fun! And I also love the fishing game with the magnets and fishing poles. That is so fun as well ;}
Do you have too many fuzzy socks now? I can never have too many fuzzy socks :} but I do have a Priority Mail Box thingy full of them :} hehe. Thank you everyone who sent me socks and gifts :} I absolutely love them!!!
Are there any inside jokes in your mission? The inside joke right now is us getting Ipads at the end of the year… which is in 3 days haha :} so we won’t be getting Ipads any time soon.
What is your current mission theme right now? does it change each year or is it the same through the Presidents calling? Our mission goal is 100 baptisms a month, and it hasn't changed since President Walkenhorst has been here, and I don’t think it ever will haha
How much do you work on retention in your area? Are there a lot of less active members? We do have a lot and some Sister Duersch and I have never met, so we have been trying to find them and work with them but it is pretty hard during the Christmas season. But we have been working with about 8 or 9 less-actives and we have about 25 or so in our area :} so fun. we are trying really hard to fellowship, but half of our ward is gone. we had about 60 people at church yesterday... we were branch sized. it was ridiculously small. so it is hard to get people to come out with us when they aren't home. it is just so sad
What is your favorite smell in your area right now? Least favorite? Favorite smell would have to be the smell of smoke in the chapel, then you know someone is trying to change :} and my least favorite smell is the smell of Lawton. It reeks like garbage all the time.
How often do you do laundry? is it in your house again or do you have to go somewhere? When was the last time you washed your sheets? I washed my sheets about a week ago. We have a washer and a dryer in our garage that doesn't even fit our car…. Downside to Oklahoma, you can’t use your garages because they are too small for any normal vehicle. And we do laundry every p-day :}
When was the last time you saw an answer to a prayer? A few days ago, I prayed to know how to help our investigators progress, and I got my answer in a strange way. I had a thought come to my head after all of our investigators didn't go to church yesterday. I remember Sister Stewart saying that she did a missionary “Purge” with some of the less-actives in Quail Creek, which means that the less-active would have to call or text the missionaries to come over when they were ready to listen and get help again. So we tried that with Fashionette and Kyla to see if they had pure intentions, we got a text from Kyla this morning asking us to come over and we haven’t received one from Fashionette so the answer to that prayer happened in a random way haha.
do you know when transfers are and if either of you will be moving or staying? Transfers are the 7th of January, so we find out this coming Sunday who is getting transferred. I hope we both stay again.
Love you :}
