Go Cincinnati Reds!

Last week the entire mission went to a Cincinnati Reds game. Some pictures from the game. 

This is Sister King, President Porter's wife and me! 

This is my best friend from the MTC, Sister Elmer!!!

Fairy tale kisses . . .not

I get bored on my mission from not kissing boys so much anymore... so
I kiss a lot of animals out here now! ;P Needless to say, that frog
didn't even turn into a stupid prince!! >:[ grrrrrrr hahahah but I've
gotten pretty good at catching frogs now :]

We are spoiled!

So our investigator J. who lives right across the street from us
got Sister King and me matching Swarovski crystal bracelets!!!!!!!!
She spoils us :P (please post picture on blog, I guess I am going to
have to specify from now on which pictures go on the blog. A.K.A ALL
OF THEM!)

Helping out on the farm

Here are some pictures from last week, we helped the lady in our ward clean out the goat pens, then loaded it up on her lawn mower and took it into the forest to dump it! :]

I found a kitten in the barn! :] so these people in our ward own this
farm and the house and the barn were both built almost 200 years
ago!!!!! It's the COOLEST place everrrrrr.

The raccoon story . . .

So it was really late one night and dark. Sis. King and I were walking home, and all of a sudden we see this raccoon just laying in someone's front yard! And I just freaked out because I've never seen a raccoon before! And Sis K said, "oh don't get too close it might be rabid!" But, it wasn't doing anything, it was just laying down and so she was thinking maybe it was sick or something. Cuz, they don't usually just chill like that. So, I whipped out my camera and so did Sis. K and we started taking pictures of it, but it was so dark we couldn't see the screens on our cameras and the flash was on and stuff, so we kept getting really bad pictures. We just kept snapping away. Then a man came out and asked us why were were taking pictures of his house!!! Oh my gosh, it was the most embarrassing thing ever!! We said, "No, sorry, there's a raccoon in your yard and we're not from here so we've never really seen one this close before! Sorry!" and then we ran away down the sidewalk super embarrassed and just laughing.

Sleeping Beauty

It's been raining for the past 4 days! People make fun of me because I carry my umbrella EVERYWHERE!! They say it's just a little rain! I tell them "I'm from Phoenix, ain't no body got time to get wet!" But on Sunday, it was just pouring and pouring all morning long. We got a flash flood warning on our phone. That was a little scary. I even did my hair that morning for church, I walk outside and in .07 seconds - Flattened!! :(

But, the night before it had been thundering and lightening outside so hard, the walls were shaking and the windows were rattling, and the lightning outside would flash so bright, our entire room would light up! Sis. K is terrified of thunder storms, so she wasn't asleep. But I was, and it was like 3 a.m. and she said that I sat straight up in bed. I scared her so badly and told her I was scared and started talking to her and stuff, then laid back down and went back to snoring! Lolololol Which I do not remember doing any of this at all! So maybe I'm a sleep talker! Also, I sleep a lot here. I'm usually conked out by around 9:02 p.m.  Lololo The minute we walk in the door, I swear no matter how hard I try to stay awake! And, I get made fun of so hardcore for it too because apparently the zone leaders/district leaders/Centerville Elders will usually call every night some time between 9:45 & 10:15 and I am NEVER AWAKE!! I didn't even know they called us at night time until they started making fun of me for it at zone meeting! :[  Even Sis K has joined in the fun a little, like the other day, we were driving in the car and I was blinking, (may or  may not have been a longer blink than usual) and she started this thing where she yells out this quick, loud "Wake-up!!" whenever she sees my eyes closed. Lolololo But seriously, I fall asleep all the time and it may be becoming a problem. Sis. K suggested maybe I have mono or narcolepsy, or something. A member thought maybe it's because I'm so iron deficient. But that can't be right because I take my iron every day! Anyways, I need to figure out why I'm so exhausted all the time.

I got y'all's letters!!! which is EXACTLY what I needed! Also, I can not believe that Bishop Darnell got released !!!! I swear I cried a little bit reading that. HE WAS THE BESTEST BISHOP TO EVER WALK THIS PLANET!  I'm so very grateful that he was able to be there for my farewell. That was the greatest. Also, I was reading Chase's email that mom sent. He is a really good writer, I'm sorry that I don't write too many spiritual things down anymore, I mean we really do see miracles here almost daily.

A few pictures

We went to the historically famous Greaters Ice Cream parlor!! Apparently Centerville has some of the oldest buildings and structures in all of Dayton Ohio!!! (someone told us that, it may not be true...) but anyways, I thought mom might enjoy these. she can rest assured that I am staying cultured and educated down here!! :P ​

I look like a weird pioneer girl or something holding my skirt out like "pleased ta meet ya!" lolololol. but seriously I look stupid here. 

​

Downtown Centerville. cutest little place ever.

The geese have flown south for the winter.

An old lady we were talking to the other day heard them honking, she got scared she was like what was that?? and my companion was like oh just some geese and the old lady was like "they back again??" lolololololololol My companion said yup, they've been here for a couple weeks now!
