Haters Gonna Hate

lol hey family and friends hope you guys all had e dope week! this week was good and hard. on monday we went bowling with the zone and it was so fun. the elders were being dumb the whole time and im surprised we didnte get kicked out lol love the elders...they keep me sane. omg jk maybe. i did pretty good. got 94 and 97. remember how i used to suck. but everyone was making fun of me because i have no form or whatever but like i dont even care because im way good. shoulda been on the bowling team. then i took a nap! so tight. me and sis hallett had brownies for dinner. legit. on tuesday we had a GREAT day planned out. tons of appointments and we were going to get so much done. but of course, missionary work isnt supposed to be easy SO  all of them fell through -___- no one was home! so instead we did tracting for like 3 hours lol. but it was raining out so it was actually kinda fun. when we were tracting we found some old me outside so decided to talk to them. i think they were pretty drunk, so it was fun. none of them were interested in learning. so here i am tryna be a nice missionary...i go to shake their hands "its nice to meet you" blah blah blah. when this guy pulls me in and like kisses me!!! hahah what?! it wasnt on the lips but on the cheek and its the most action ive seen in 3 months. it was great. haha we peaced out real quick after that. then haha we went to visit a less active lady and we walk in and BAM shes smoking some Mary j...she says its for medical purposes and the bishop approved it. its hilarious. she was baked!! and i think me too....I WAS GONNA GO TO PREACH, BUT THEN I GOT HIGH. sorry for those who dont know what song im talking about. i love these great experiences that i am having. on wednesday we met with one of our investigators and sis hallett is so intense with everything that he calls her the pitbull. i love it. "OKAY BYE PITBULL HAVE A GOOD NIGHT." i think its so funny. that night we went to sign language class and learned how to pray in ASL. im so learned. on thursday we went to one of our new investigators house, shes a southern girl from missouri. shes so outgoing and bold. the elders met her first and passed her off to us. haha we got there and she was like, "can we go to my bedroom and talk, i like you guys because i cant do that with the boys...are they virgins?" i about loled all over the floor. we just kinda ignored it. then she asked me to braid her hair...shes cool but i dont know how much she understands. then we went to visit the girls we are teaching and the 17 year old says she knows that joseph smith is a prophet and she wasnt to be married in the temple. bout melted my heart. BUT her mom doesnt want her to be baptized so we will have to figure that one out this week. pray for chandra and her mom plz. on thursday we went to visit and investigator and we are just sitting on the porch and the cops come up and ARREST him! what?! we felt so bad.. sis hallett was just like "we didnt know anything we are just doing our missionary thing." lol poor jeremy. i think we are dropping him. the only thing worth metioning on saturday is we saw the finest black guy and he wanted a book of mormon. me and hallett were mesmorized. his smile...dead. hopefully he wants to learn more. if you know what i mean. lol. SUNDAY WAS THE WORST! we had 5 investigators planning on coming and guess how many came...0. then our investigator mark, the first guy i ever taught, dropped us. THEN we went to a members house and she had an anti mormon guy there that was just going at us about how we dont know the truth and that the book of mormon is fantasy. hes basically talking AT us for 1 hour and im just like "listen, we gotta go but before we leave i just wanna bear my testimony that this is christ church and the book of mormon is true because everytime i read it it brings me closer to christ...." then i lost it and couldnt stop crying for like 10 minutes. ugh crying is the worst. i wish i could cry and talk at the same time, but i dont have that talent. i decided that after i die or the second coming comes, besides seeing my family, this man is the first person i want to see and just say I TOLD YOU!!!!! this gospel is true you guys, it blesses families and individuals with the sweetest knowledge that we could ever wish for. read and pray. heavenly father doesnt ask for much and blesses us in abundance. be good and miss me! love you all!

 

peace out! sista butcherite

Maggots lol!

helllllllllloooo!! lol hi how is it going with everyone. that is not a rhetorical question. if youre reading this, write me. lol okay? jk you dont really have to but if you do i WILL write you back! promise. anyways this week went by so fast but at the same time it seems like forever since the last pday. we had zone conference this week which was the biggest event of the week. on tuesday we practiced singing a musical number. it was pretty aweful and teh elders in my zone suck a lot at singing. SO FUN! we met with some of our investigators that arent really keeping committments so we dont know if they are willing to change but we keep prayin for them ya know! zone conference was way too legit, love it! i love getting together with other missionaries. its like lol such a good time. so there are alot of new things that are coming along with missionary work. we are getting ipads soo. too pumped for that! and we get to go on facebook...like our own personal page and post stuff about missionary work! what?! the prophet and apostles are so inspired because i know that i was literally on facebook or twitter or whatever all day everyday. these men know whats up! also, the president was telling us how people in japan are using skype to give lessons to their investigators. way tight. it just makes sense that missionary work would be keeping up with the technology of the world. its so exciting. so im thinking that i should be getting an ipad by the end of the year. lol HIT ME UP ON FACEBOOK GUYS! also there has been some wardrobe changes. the elders are allowed to wear khakis now. HOLLAAA, they are looking so...fine! lol sorry but im allowed to think the elders look cute. and they do. dont strike me down, plz lord. also, we are not allowed to wear back packs anymore which is fine with me because i dont have one, but 99% of the elders wear them, theyre pretty upset about that one. so those are the new updates in the missionary world. after the zone conference we went on exchanges and i went to sahaurita with sister stratton who i came out with so it was super fun! shes having a really hard time with her comp so im so blessed to have a normal comp lol who doesnt fight with me. we did alot of service for the ward members together. we helped an old lady sort through 324 albums that she had from like 1930s it was fun and she was so nice. she added me on FB so i got to see my page and lol SORRY GUYS THAT I DONT SPEEL THAT WELL. do you want a long email? then im gonna have to type fast and misspell alot of word. GET OVER IT, MOM! then.....we cleaned a ladys kitchen. i swear to you that a dish hadnt been done in 3 months. maggots...MAGGOTS!!! ugh im gonna throw up just thinking about it. they had 11 dogs so like the whole time it smelt like i was inhaling dog breath and feces. ew! but it felt good to do her some service. we were there for 3 hours and got the kitchen done. the whole time i was thinking, "i deserve a really good, hot husband when i get back." lol right? saturday and sunday were stake conference and it was good. talked alot about member missionary work! hasten the work you guys, and do all you can to spread the gospel. i know youve got it in you! okay well i have like 7 minutes gotta head out. were going bowling weeeeeeeeeeee! k see ya.

Zone Conference

My Zone!

Sorry I'm so attractive!

HEYYYYY YOUUU GUYSSS! omg lol. so i made sure to write down the things that i did this week in my planner so i wouldnt forget what happened. on wednesday we had a zone meeting and we got to meet everyone in the zone that was new and stuff. we played a game to get to know eachother where you say something exciting youve done in your life that no one else probably have....mine was that i worked at the MTC. seriously, PARENTS! thanks for taking me to do cool things. now all the elders and sisters think im dumb and boring -__-. but then we went out to lunch at a chuck e cheese place. omg i wanted to play all the games but were not allowed. later that day me and sister halllett went out tracting. we used a new approach when we knock on the door we ask the people if we can say a prayer with them to bless their home. the second door we knocked on was a really nice girl and she LOVED it! i said the sickest prayer and you could feel the spirit so strong. she said that she would love to have us come back and teach her. we were supposed to go over there yesturday, and when i called she said "I WAS HOPING YOU GUYS WOULD CALL" but she couldnt make it because her sun was going to a birthday party. we will meet next week. thursday was awefullllll. i think i got dehydrated because my stomach...and other unmentionables was not doing so good. we were out in the sun for like 2 hours and i just didnt have enough water. arizona water is so gross so i dont wanna drink it and when we get fresh water it gets hot in like 20 minutes. isssues. so i was feeling really sick on that night, so we got to go home early and i was in bed by 9. HOLLAAAA! so tight. on friday i was still having digestive and toilet issues but it didnt stop me from the work. im such a boss. but we didnt do anything too special. we helped a lady in our ward move and met with one of our investigators....who only wanted to talk about polugamy. i think we said 5 words the whole lesson. it was the worst. we probs gonna drop him because were not to sure how good his intentions are. on saturday we had a hard time getting into peoples houses to teach, so that just means alot more tracting and a lot more time in the sun. im really working on my shoe tan line. theyre gonna be dope. once again we had to talk about plural marriage. i dont really know how to respond to things like that...."it was a commandment from god then and thats my understanding.  now go read the book of mormon" thats what i say. OMG MOM GUESS WHAT?! i had to give a talk on sunday too! so fun we are the best. i talked on listening to the holy ghost. i told them how dad used to tell me how i need to make a deal with the holy ghost when it came to studying for tests like "okay holy ghost ima try and study all the material as best i can and then when im taking the test you gots to help a sista out!" it wasnt bad. i wasnt even nervous! then that night we were going to meet with the girls and there were some men outside playing basketball and one of the mexicans was like "OH HEY GURL YOURE LOOKIN NICE" to me and i was like wellll thank you kind sir and then sis hallett made us go talk to them...heres the convo

us: would any of you be interested in learning more about jesus christ and his teachings

mexican: are you gonna be ther (pointing to me)

me: lol yeah

mexican: then yeah ill listen

sis hallett: well if youre going to act like that then we would get some elders to teach you

mexican: nevermind then

LOL!!! im so cute. sorry not sorry. we had a lot of pie for dinner that night. way good. but yeah our investigators arent progressing as much as we would like. probs gonna have to drop some. one has a date for aug 31 but he didnt come to church but then he texted us and was like sorry i didnt come to church, i told my boss i need to go next week because i need to get baptized. love him

okay well i gotta go email some other homies. love you have a good week!

Dreams do come true!

oh hey family and friends wut it do!? the prayers have been answered!!! thanks for everyone who supports me and the missionary work that is progressing in my area. this week was way too tight. on monday night we had exchanges. i stayed in tucson and sis hallett went to st david. its like a sleepover on exchanges sooooo fun! so that day we had two appts with some ladies that we contacted and the first one was good but she mostly just has question...she dropped us last night. then we had plans to visit less actives...i think we went to 9 houses and no one was home. ITS WAS SO FUN. I LOVE SPENDING ALL DAY IN A CAR -___-. then we had a appt with a lady named debbie and it was great. shes going through a hard time so we shared a scripture about peace and she was all about it. we meet with her again tonight. the rest of the week was blissssssss. we made plans to see people and they were actually there. OMG WUT!? we had great lessons and it was tooooo tight. one of the young women we are teaching said that she knows the BOM is true but that church is borning. i was like lol thats what i think toooooo!!! jk sis hallett doesnt like when i say that. i love to do it though. because you gotta be able to relate to the homies. we dont want them to think were like uptight jesus freaks. AMIRIGHT!!? so basically everything was good. we met with the people we wanted to and got 4 new investigators. we went on splits for the friday day and i got to take over the area. im the goodest missionary. omg we got pizza 2 times this week. i obvi worship pizza so it was like going to disney land. -___- its the most exciting thing...life of a missionary. we had no one at church which sucked. im over it. then we were waiting for THE CALL....but it never came so me and sister hallett are together for another 6 weeks in the pantano ward. itll be good i hope because then we might get to see some of our investigators get baptized!!! omg i hope that it works out for them. mark....the first guy we ever taught accepted a new date for aug 31st and we told him....lol you gotta come to church. thats our only gator with a date. we took pics with our zone yesturday since alot of them are leaving. none of the sisters thought. then we went out for luch. so fun!!! today for pday we went to a catholic mission builiding thing. it was cool but like why are the catholic statues so scary. i was trippin. lol mormons >>>>> but yeah that was my week basically. keep the prayers a'comin because theyre working!! heavenly father truly does answer prayers and he hears you!!! have a great week. write me and send pic!

omg its so hard to read everything, respond to everyone and try to write a good lengthy letter to you guys lol and all of my faithful blog reads. way tight. so on monday after pday we went to visit a referral and he was finally home. praise! we taught him about faith and prayer and committed him to be baptized on august 17. i hope it works out. he told us that we had a good spirit about us and that he likes us around. that makes me way pumped to know that the spirit is always with me. on tuesday we did missionary work lol, nothing to important to tell about. its so awkward when we take out members to visit investigators and theyre not home.... were just like lol sorry, wanna do something else. awk. on wedneday i had my very first interview with presiden killpack. everyone was tryna get me nervous and i was just like -____-  im obvi gonna own it because im a gr8 missionary duh. it was good and no worries, im still worthy lol. we met with jermey, the one from monday, again and taught him the restoration. he got everything which was great and it made good sense to him. then it came time for the first vision and i was supposed to recite to him the words of joseph smith. lol too nervous. but it was great!!! the spirit was so strong and i know he felt it! hes great. on thursday we were just tryna get in contact with all the ward leaders to put together a focus group. and we went knocking -__- hate that and people are just rude and dont want to hear two way decent girls talk about jesus. whatupp wit dat?! also just visiting some less actives say come to church cuz its good. they dont come. lol. we will keep trying. on friday we had another lesson with the girls, i think i told you about them. they are great and really interested, BUT theyre dad doesnt want the to committ to a date until they know for sure that the church is what they want. soooooooo yeah. we will keep teaching them. friday night we did exchanges! soooooooooooo fun! i went to sierra vista, arizona. it was so much cooler there like halleluja lol i dont know how to spell that. but seriously, way nice. lol i was on a bike!!! i probably looked like the biggest idiot. lol okay i know i did. way dumb with my helmet. ew. but i loved it. seeing new people, new places, and working with new investigators and ward members. the sisters down there are doing a great job. just seeing some of the people they work with make me once again so grateful for this gospel and the blessings it brings. we drove home on saturday and didnt get to sleep till 11 -__-. needless to say i was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to tired on sunday, but its okay. we had 3 investigators to church on sunday!!! hoooorraaaayy. the girls came and so did jeremy. omg but the talks given were ummmmmm....yeah i dont even know. we had to tell the girls that its not always that boring or long. i dont even know what was going on. he was talking about space or something. then sunday night was just aweful. all of our plans fell through and i felt like we didnt do anything for 2 hours.....except we did make up a really cool rap about jesus. way tight. i think we are going to do it on our door approaches. anyways yeah that was it. i got 1208937 million post cards on thursday. OMG THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE CUZZINS!! i loved them so much. the support feels so good and i miss you guys but this is where i am supposed to be. keep writing me and showing the love because its so fun to get letters no matter how little you write! i love you allllllllll! i forgot my usb cord that has the pics of me on my bike lol so ill send that next week. have a good week and watch movies and listen to music and kiss your significant others. lol cuz i cant

much love, sista B!

 

MISS ME lol

lol hi family. sound like this week was fun! i had a good week this too but not that many funny stories. when we were doing our studies on saturday we were talking about our family and i was like do you know exactly what your family is doing right now and she was like no and then i was like i do -__- theyre at the kissing cousin reunion swimming and playing with the little babes. THEY BETTER MISS ME!! haha i hope you did. you did. im glad that alot of people read my blog BECAUSE IT IS SO FUNNNNNNN!!!! lol. we play sports on monday, basketball so you already know i was a boss. all of the elders yelled BUTCHERIT FOR 3 everytime i shot. lol and i missed. actually i did make some good ones. then sister hallett fell and sprained her ankle. i felt bad because she is such a hard worker and limped around everywhere for a couple of days. nothing special on tuesday except for ward coordination and like the elders never say anthing so im liike lol do you even do work....im sure that they do. maybe. then i got speghetti (ugh i dont even know how to spell it. w/e.) sauce on my white shirt because i dont know how to eat like a human or something. on wednesday we started teaching a group of girls from 10-17. they are so fun and cute because we talk about 1 direction and justin beiber lol and the gospel. i love teaching them because they have fun questions and stories that relate to nothing! its great. ive had pasta 5 times this week because no one knows what to feed a vegetarian except pasta. lol so carbo loading to the max. BUT we made korean food on wednesday. kimbop. way tight. i played at the park because i was tired of NO ONE ANSWERING THEIR DOOR! then we finally got in contact with mark, the one who has the baptismal date, and he is still all for it and believes what we say but he can only meet on saturdays which is kinda hard. lol pray for mark! hes too tight. then we met some men on friday who were probably high the whole time, i dont really know. but they were interested in what we had to teach, so hey, lets baptize!! we had 1 of the girls we are teaching  come to church yesturday, i was soo happy! she is 12 so i hope she had a good time in young womans and felt welcomed! oh man i hope things work out with those girls because they are so sweet and love jesus. lol. the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days. im not even that bothered by waking up at 6:30 any more. we are really trying to get the ward involved in missionary work. it is so hard without them because both me and hermana feel like knocking does nothing!!!! weve probably knocked 100 doors and maybe 2 are interested but never home to teach. we need the friends of members. DO YOUR PART AS A MEMBER MISSIONARY....please. if we all work together we really can hasten the work. seeing some of the people i do everyday it makes me even more greatful for the gospel that we have in our lives. it brings comfort, direction and so much happiness. prayer is the best, the atonement rocks my world and the idea of families being forever fill me with love and gratitude. share the happiness and the lord will bless you. have a good week and ill try not to die of heat stroke. tight. love you and miss me all the days. 3 weeks till next transfer, its going by way fast. peace and blessings,

xoxo sista b
