Exchange Adventures

 This week flew by! We had an eventful week with going to a funeral, exchanging with the sisters, and doing missionary work! 


One of the members in our ward passed away and we went to her funeral on Wednesday. It was a graveside service and we had the most difficult time finding where we were supposed to be. Maps was taking us all over the place and when we asked someone for directions we discovered we were in the wrong cemetery (there were four!) So we eventually find the canopy where the service is at and start driving towards there. When we pull up closer we notice there's a fence... and the service is on the other side! So we had to drive right in front of everyone and go all around the fence to get there!🤦‍♀️ once we got there though the service was amazing and very sweet! We were so glad to support her family!

One of the members does a Come Follow Me night at his apartment complex where we study the Book of Mormon along with the Come Follow Me study manual and we had a few new people show up to that! So exciting to share the book of Mormon with new people! 

We went on exchanges! This is where we swap companions for 24 hours and learn how they do missionary work and it's a great opportunity to get to know them more and their testimonies! It's also a fun sleepover! I went to Richmond Hill area with Sister Loveridge and we had a blast! Sister Loveridge is in her 3rd transfer and finishing sister smiths training so that was really similar to my 3rd transfer and we were able to bond over that! Here's a fun little exchange story for y'all! Sister Loveridge was driving since I didn't even bring my card to log into the driving tracker system. If y'all don't know already, I get super motion sick real easily. By the time we arrived at our first contact I already felt like throwing up! But I powered through!!.... for a few more houses then I threw up in a dumpster haha!! 

We have been praying for our friends to progress in the gospel since we've been setting up lessons but fall through. I've been learning a lot about seeking revelation and answers as to how I can improve in my part of teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am practicing patience!
