✨️ Spark Notes ✨️

Hello and good morning folks! We're off to another grand week, so here we go!

Monday!

My last pday with Sister Dye!!! It was overall crazy. She sent some packages home; we got subway; we decided to forego shopping altogether; and just packed. At least she did; I just talked to my friends without being particularly stressed because I'd already sent out my email! We'll see if I manage that same thing this week..... 😂😅

That was about it!!

Tuesday!

OHHHHHHHH boy. This day was crazy. Absolutely insane; we barely managed to hold onto our marbles. Such is the life of a missionary when baptism day comes around!!

We had district council that morning! Pretty good I guess; we didn't have the most to show for the week, but we did have our miracle Deb, and that was a huge blessing.

After the district council itself, we went to lunch at Wendy's (sans hecka busy APs who had to zoom on outta DC). It was a good lunch too. I didn't get my food for... a long time actually; it was weird. I was first to order and last to get mine... But that's okay because I got it eventually, and it was good. 😋

After that we went home and just called everyone we could think of to invite them to the baptism, and confirmed with everyone participating that they could still come.

We had a lesson with Sister Brooks too, which was mildly stressful, because we knew we had to hurry on outta there and go fill up the font, and she's a talker lol. Luckily, the Spirit kept me calm; otherwise I think I woulda lost my mind.

After that we sped off to the apartment to grab some cleaning clothes, and then to the church building and got to work cleaning the font. 

Time for the spark notes version, aka the "I totally read the homework" section.

- we scrubbed the font; we got it all clean; it was epic

- we went to turn on the hot water!

- the hot water was broken.

- we panicked, called the Hmong Elders in from their car to come help, called the ward mission leader, boiled water, panicked, printed programs, panicked, prayed, FaceTime the WML, figured out the problem, still kinda panicked, and finally changed back into pros[elyting clothing]

- had the baptism successfully!! An excellent one to be sure!! It went so well!

- did a musical number that went great!

- she got the Holy Ghost! 

- dispersed

- recorded a musical number with the Hmong Elders and had Hannah from the ward film us

- got home and went to bed.

- got up at a normal time cause we were in Milwaukee 

- packed and went to Kopps [fast food & custard] with Sis Dye before dropping her off

- went to transfer point and vibed so we could see Sis McGary and everyone else in the transfer van

- mildly panicked just cause everyone was being loud and not listening, and I had been put in charge of making sure everyone quieted down, and I'M NOT AN AUTHORITY NO ONE LISTENS TO ME and OH BOY.

- finally got everyone into the back room (mostly)

- found Sis McGary and took a generations picture with her

- took Sis McGary and Sutherland to Kopps (I didn't get anything)
