So we had a lesson yesterday that I could have sworn was last week and our exchange on Wednesday feels like last month. Sister Atwood and I have had this problem all transfer but this week has had no sense of time at all whatsoever.
We had exchanges, it was fun! It is always great to see other missionaries and how they do stuff, get their ideas, see what to work on, etc.
Zone conference was this week, in person! It was only 1 zone, not 2 like normal. We all sat 6 feet apartment (companions sat close together). Discussed a lot about faith and how to be better at following Christ!
We got to help someone move, do some lessons with our members, eat dinner with members, and had meetings. It was great to be busy!
That's it for this week!
Love you all, enjoy your life!

We got to attend Jacob's baptism! It was so great! We had to attend over zoom, since they aren't allowing missionaries to travel to past areas for baptisms (virus problems). He was so happy! Also we had a super crazy crazy day on Thursday. We really wanted a long meeting with the technology specialists in person, we have only met over technology because 2 / 6 of us lived 3.5 hours away from the others. So we wanted to have a meeting together now that they only live one hour away, but we wanted to have one long one rather than have them often with such a long drive. So we planned a 2 hour meeting but it went for three hours. We got a ride to our closest church building (we did close to us because we have no car) and got our ride to unlock the church (no church key yet) and had a great meeting.
That morning, we had a service project from 9 - 11, about 20 minutes away. The other sister missionaries drove us there. Our whole zone of missionaries was there to paint, wash windows, and dig a trench. We helped with the digging and it was SO much fun!
Then we went home for 10 minutes to change from jeans to dresses and eat some food.
Then we went to a service project handing out lunches for 40 minutes.
Then we went to the church for our long meeting.
It was a great day, very tiring!
We almost attended two Zoom meetings at once. We were going to go to 2 min of one, talk, turn our camera off, go to 2 minutes of the other one, turn our camera off, then both of us would listen to different meetings and unmute when they asked questions. (Someone else was running the meeting, and the training was for other people, we were attending to see how everyone was doing). Then one of the meetings got pushed back 20 minutes so we got to go to the meetings like normal people.
We had dinner with some members, and had lessons with other members, they were fantastic and so fun! This ward is great.
We had two meetings with Danae and we had a training on random stuff. Then also on telling people what to improve in ways that they will act on it but not get defensive. Yay!
We also got an AC window unit installed then we got a note from the complex that we couldn't have that kind of unit, so we got it taken out and are waiting for another kind.
You all are great! I fly home September 16th so if you were waiting to send me a letter. Today is a great day. :)
