week 19: I walked on water 🌊

 so time flies when you're having fun.. I can't believe it's been another week! 


here's my google photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/o1Wmow78ZBW55WZd8

MONDAY 
Sister Woolston cut my curtain bangs! perks of having a cosmetologist stl
also been on that duolingo grind for absolutely no reason.

TUESDAY 
we woke up and sang 🎶"its gonna be a good day"🎶 and it was! life hack! 
we had a member meet up with us for a lesson but then that lesson fell through so she went with us to some stop bys.. nobody answered but it was cool that she was willing to do that with us!
we had a lesson with Kia and Brittany and sister Peterson came for that one! I think it went well! 

WEDNESDAY 
literally nothing significant happened besides I sledded down a snowy hill in sister wirths long coat.
and we got Amish soft pretzels

THURSDAY 
we had another lesson with Brittany and Kia and at the end Kia got up and gave us both hugs 😭 they said they're so happy they met us awww

FRIDAY 
had Friday morning training and district council/interviews! since our district was first we had to- I mean got to be in person for Friday Morning Training... everyone else in the mission was on the zoom and we were there with President! at the end he told us all that we're gonna do a Facebook Fast from now until February... (Facebook is gone so don't count on my 5 month post) 
he said we should start this fast as a mission with a prayer on our knees so we can dedicate this time! then he said "I'm gonna ask someone in this room to say that prayer for us" and I made the biggest mistake of all in that exact moment. I locked eye contact with President Brockbank. (rookie mistake) and you guessed it. he asked me to say the prayer.. for the WHOLE MISSION! 😧🫣🫡🫠
I'm being dramatic it wasn't that bad.. anyways then we went on with district council and interviews and that was good! Elder and Sister Squire fed us all beef stew ahaha they're the best! it was so yummy. 

SATURDAY 
we were out doing stop bys and nobody was answering.. Sister Wirth randomly was like "hey let's go knock 3 doors" and I was like why on earth would we wanna do that.. let's go eat lunch! or I guess I was thinking that cause i just got out of the car with her and what do you know? we found 3 new friends?! 2 at the first house and one a little down the road. someone's in tune with the spirit.
we had a lot of friends tell us Saturday night they'd pull up to church! including Kia who we told we'd get her a ride to church and also stay with her the whole time. after asking SO MANY PEOPLE we finally found her a ride. our friend Roman in chardon said he was gonna be at church too which is GREAT! except for the fact that we just told Kia we'd be in Shaker with her all day so that was a bummer.

SUNDAY
first thing in the morning Kia called and said she threw up and couldn't make it to church... but it's okay cause a bunch of Shaker friends said they were coming... well after about 10 minutes of waiting for our friends to show up we decided that they weren't coming and if they do the Shaker elders are there. I felt like it was more important for us to go to chardon! so we ran out and drove to chardon as fast as we could without TIWI screaming at us! and Roman came! and mikey gave a talk in church and so did President Juker! they were both amazing! I was tearing up the whole time! and the branch was AWESOME! they were all so welcoming to Roman and it was honestly so cool! guess I'm in tune with the spirit too!
now for the title of my email... we decided to go to our cutie lil lake we always go to and there were TENTS on top of the lake! it was frozen! so of course we did what any logical person would've done and walked on the frozen lake! never did I ever think this small town southern Utah girl would walk on a frozen lake. SO COOL! don't worry I wouldn't have done it if there weren't people literally camping in the middle of it ahaha

spiritual thought:
how cool is it that when we're baptized we get the gift of the Holy Ghost as a constant companion as long as we're doing things that invite the spirit?! I've taken that for granted my whole life! being out here has made me realize and notice the spirit more fully in my life. The Holy Ghost there as a comfort, protection, peace, and guidance! I challenge you all to pay attention to the spirit more this week and strive to have it with you as a constant companion! let me know how that goes :) 

it was a really good week honestly! I miss and love you all! feel free to reach out whenever cause I love hearing from you guys! 
<3/ Sister Hare

 hey y'all this week as been wild. I don't even remember half of it. let's get into it.. prayer list: Taylor and Dylan  Carley  Jesse  Brandon Chuck  google photos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/o1Wmow78ZBW55WZd8 spiritual thought: I listened to this talk while preparing to write my talk on sunday! it's called "It's a Miracle" by Elder Neil L. Andersen and I wanted to share this part of it "Brothers and sisters, as surely as the Lord has inspired more missionaries to serve, He is also awakening the minds and opening the hearts of more good and honest people to receive His missionaries. You already know them or will know them. They are in your family and live in your neighborhood. They walk past you on the street, sit by you in school, and connect with you online. You too are an important part of this unfolding miracle.  If you’re not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint one on your heart—painted, a...

  hey fam, I know I know, the title of my email doesn't make sense cause we JUST got a new car like 3 weeks ago... surprise! we got a new car again! it's been a good week :)  can I ask a favor? can y'all pray for my friends? I know prayer is powerful and it works :) prayer list: Lori Jesse Taylor and Dylan Justin  Brandon Lashawna McKenzie google photos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/o1Wmow78ZBW55WZd8 spiritual thought: I studied a talk by President Russell M Nelson called "The Everlasting Covenant" and I learned about "hesed" which is a Hebrew word for a special kind of covenantal love! "Because of our covenant with God, He will never tire in His efforts to help us, and we will never exhaust His merciful patience with us"  when we are baptized we enter into a covenant relationship with God which binds us to Him and because of that He has a special kind of love for us and will continue to work with us and give us opportunities to change. He loves ...

I'm not sure how we're halfway through April and apparently Ohio doesn't either cause it's still freezing! it better warm up soon.. anyways how are you all?!  here's my google photos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/o1Wmow78ZBW55WZd8 spiritual thought: okay so I LOVED general conference and if yall didn't get a chance to listen then go do it, if you did.. listen again. it was sooo good! one of my favorite talks was Receive His Gift by Elder Patrick Kearon. here's the link https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2025/04/55kearon?lang=eng he talks about receiving the gift and really understanding the fact that you are a child of God!  "You may be wondering, “What do I have to do to receive this gift from God?” Well, actually, nothing. It is a gift from the Giver. It is simply a fact. Just let it in. You are His child. You are beloved of Him. Do not complicate it. Do not block the receiving of this gift...
