Sister Hannah Farmer: Week 4!

Well another week has come and gone.. My cousin said days feel like weeks and weeks feel like days. Seriously the days are soo long and I feel like they never end but then it's P-day again and I'm like wow that was fast..

Anyway this was a crazy week..

Monday was rough. Lets just say that. I have been pretty homesick and not really wanting to be here, like all missionaries I'm sure you are all thinking. Anyway I talked to all my fam on email and it was just a longg rough day. We were in the apartment and yea it was rough. FHE was good. It was about receiving personal revelation from General Conference (2 times a year where the prophet of the church and apostles teach and it is broadcasting all around the world). It was a rough day but I survived.

Tuesday again was a rough day and I didn't enjoy that until about 4:30 and then things got a little better. We taught Ramiro, this awesome recent convert who is the nicest! Sis. Paxton was teaching piano so it was just Sis. Ison and I but it went well. Dinner was alright.. I had green beans, sweet potatoes, luckily there was brown sugar so I drowned it in that, and then noodles with white sauce on it. Anyway I swallowed it down :) We then taught Lisa and that lesson was really good. I could feel the spirit and she was telling us her story of her, and ryan who is 25 and has Aspergers, and it was good to hear there story because I got to know them better. They both have baptism dates for Nov. 1st. Connor and Savannahs was our last appointment and they are always a fun time. So I survived through the day!

Wednesday-Friday: Lots of appointments, filled schedule, and lots of cancels... :( Seriously most of our appointments cancelled but we were able to fill it with other things and people so it worked out. Nothing new with our investigators. We haven't met with Jeff this week.. We may have to push back out Bap. (Baptism) date.

Saturday was good! We went to Investigators Kathy and Kiel and watched the first session of General Conference that was great! She gave us a super cute halloween box with decorations and checkers which I was very excited about! We had dinner which was chili (It wasn't too bad..) and then apple pie! We talked with them in between conference and they have a baptism date for Oct. 18 but we weren't sure where they were at so we talked it out and they are still very interested, they are just waiting for her husband to come back to make any steps so we will just have to wait for him to come back, the next session we watched at a members and it was fun. We then went to dinner with the Hedgecocks! That was awesome. She is the sweetest mom andddd they have 8 kids. 6 girls and 2 boys. oldest is 12 so it was so fun to see how it would look like my house growing up haha. I loved the crazyness. We then had a meeting at the sanchez. Funniest story! We show up and the back light of the trailer is on and we see a shadow of a head. we turn our car light off and the head moves from the window and then a few seconds later the light turns off.. We knock on the door and no one answers haha. Soo yea that was funny.

Sunday Was an awesome day! We watched conference and had lunch at a members in between and then another session of conference. Then we went home to get a ward list and met this sweet mom La Donna and her 11 year old son Diego with Cerebral Palsy. THEY ARE AWESOME. I loved them and they are great. They are in our neighborhood and are going to meet them this week hopefully. i love them though. We then had dinner a members and it was a classic barbecue, chips, and cupcake like at home so that was great. We then followed up on a referral (something we get like an address and stuff to go teach or talk to them) and they are the cutest family as well. Young mom and dad. with a darling daughter Emerson. We are meeting with the mom on Thursday and I am hoping things work out with them because they are awesome. She remind me of my cousin Molly Farmer. So cute and sweet. It was a great ending to the week. Lots to look forward to for this upcoming week.

Conference was awesome. There were a lot of common themes that I found: Prophets, Agency, Personal Revelation, and doing the little things (prayer, scriptures, family prayer). If you didn't get a chance to watch conference I would encourage you guys to :) and if you don't know what that is, look it up on lds.org! You can watch it. One you guys should look up is by David A. Bednar!! It was great. There were many others that I loved but that is the one I would for sure recommend. :)

I am so happy to be out on a mission serving the Lord. It is definitely hard but I know that it is what I should be doing right now. I am already learning so much and love teaching others. I am so grateful for the gospel in my life and to be able to share it with others.

Love, Sister Farmer
