week 22: pink washing cleveland 🎀💕🌸💗

 i don't know about you but I'm feeling 22! holy 22 weeks is not real! it's been crazy.



spiritual thought
how's everyone's Christlike attribute study going? I've been studying diligence and something I liked in pmg was "Diligence is consistent, earnest effort. In missionary work, diligence is an expression of your love for the Lord. When you are diligent, you find joy and satisfaction in the Lord’s work" 
specifically when it says its an expression of your love for the Lord. if you love the Lord you're willing to do what He has asked of you and that's being diligent! 

now for the week

MONDAY
we hungout with the sisters and made cute charm bracelets! other than that just a regular p day

TUESDAY
it was pbz night which means we got transfer news. we were pretty sure one of us was leaving so we decided to go hit some bucket list items. we went to this cutie restaurant called Brassica! it was so yummy! we had a lesson with Kia, Brittany and Daniel and Miasia joined too! we tried to go to Mary Yoder's for dinner but they were closed but then we visited the Ravasz family! we waited forever for pbz to drop and found out i was being transferred to CLEVELAND! and sister Wirth is training!

WEDNESDAY
we spent all day saying bye to my favorite people! it was so sad! we went to young women's so i could say bye to them too. Sister Juker has a family emergency so she had to leave and I didn't actually get to say bye to her :( but President Juker gave us matching scarves. I miss Chardon already

THURSDAY
transfer day! we drove all the way to Columbus so sister wirth could be at her training meeting. I got to see all of my past companions. Sister Jordan is training too! it was fun to meet everyone's new companions. mine is Sister Fluckiger! like flu 🤧 key 🔑 grrrr 🐯 
we came out together! in fact we were companions on our first night in Ohio when we stayed in a hotel room! we drove home to CLEVELAND and we doubled into an elders area! which means our apartment was nasty 😂 we went to the sketchiest walmart I've ever seen and I think that was the best welcome to cleveland I ever could've had.

FRIDAY
happy birthday Rebekah! she's 15 now?!
first full day in cleveland! we spent a lot of it cleaning and unpacking and trying to figure out what's going on in our area cause the elders gave us ZERO information before they left. a nice member called us and invited us over for dinner and ended up telling us a lot of information. overwhelming information but still information. for dinner we had homemade pizza and everything down to the sauce was homemade and absolutely delicious. Sister Galvan actually served in the Ohio Columbus Mission so that's cool! they have 3 precious daughters and it was so much fun to get to know them a little bit!

SATURDAY 
it's been 5 months since I was set apart as a missionary! same with sister Fluckiger! we spent a lot of the day doing stop bys and nobody was answering. we went to a referral and the address took us to this sketchy apartment building. I got a lil freaked out and said hey let's just skip this one and sister Fluckiger was thinking the same thing. but then she said "I feel like we need to go" so I said oh boy and followed her into the building. the door was locked so we tried the other side and it was opened?! we walked right in and found our referral and had a really good lesson! she said we could come back! gotta love the spirit.

SUNDAY
our first Sunday in Cleveland! we have two sets of swahilli elders in our ward and also the Campbell's who are a senior couple! sister Campbell's parents used to be next door neighbors to my grandparents! so when they saw my name they already basically knew me ahahah
we had an interesting testimony meeting but the spirit was there. one of the guys gave a testimony in swahilli so an elder got to translate for him! at the end he said "oh and also I'm ready to be baptized" it was so amazing! 
then during Sunday school we had a friend come who is deaf so with the tiny bit of sign language we know and the help of his fancy app we were able to communicate with him and send his information to a sister who knows sign language! he kept typing things out to us and even asked some questions about the word of wisdom! so it was really cool to get to teach him without speaking! 

these past 5 months have been absolutely wild! I can't believe how fast it's going! Cleveland is different but it's so much fun and I'm so excited for this new change.
feel free to reach out! I love hearing from you guys! I miss and love you all
<3/ Sister Hare

week 40: temple, tires, transfers

 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...

week 37: new car, who dis? 🚙

Image
  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 ...

Image
  oh hey! it's been another week! 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...
