Idk how else to write this week out and keep it short so imma lay it all out for ya. THURSDAY: We taught one of our new friends, she's this funny old lady named Helen. As we were teachin her the Resto We kept askin her questions like when she had felt the spirit and such.... somehow that question lead into her tellin us that her ex husband shot her adoptive mother in the back 4 times and a week later only found 90% of her body. She said she hoped he had repented but later found out he died in prison because he got cancer. How that conversation turned so quickly we Have NO clue 😂 FRIDAY: One of our new members Eric bought Sister Nielsen and I ice cream at braums 🥹 he was so excited to tell us that he was getting his Patriarchal blessing!! Wooo!! We also popped our tire....it was kinda a miracle, 2 members pulled up not even 5 seconds after we had pulled over and helped us get our car to the tire shop that was AROUND THE CORNER yayyy. We got out and back to work within 15 mins! They're some odd duck people but awesome!! SATURDAY: Full Press and quenchers day babyyyy!! We had 3 friends locked for church! Yay!! There also was apartment inspections...Elder and Sister Christienen said Sister Nielsen and I had THE cleanest apartment 😌 thanks dad for teaching me to always clean up after myself SUNDAY: NONE of our 3 friends came to church bro! What the frijoles!! Imma have to start goin over and drag em by the ear fr. We stopped by each of their houses that morning too! Got to go to young women's for church so that was so fun, I miss young women's 😢 We also had a fire time teachin our good Ole boy butch! He said he always hates when the Jehovas witness guy keeps coming cause he feels uncomfortable for some reason, but is more willing and comfortable to listen to us. He said he dont know why... BUDDYYYY I WONDER! There might just be somethin called the spirit duh dur duh durrrr We also helped these 2 Mexican dudes move their car out of the road cause they ran our of gas.... serviceable queens 🫡 MONDAY: MEMORIAL DAY! 🇺🇲🦅🎆 Today was somethin.... we had a couple of members who just moved from Texas into our ward and they asked us to help them move all their stuff into a storage unit. Man guys im tellin ya, these were some ODD people. They're very kind tho! It had rained all weekend so all their stuff smelt like mildew and other yummy smells.... the poor wife was doin all the work while the husband just chatted it up with Elder and Sister christiensen! Boys, if you wanna get smacked by your girl OR the possibility of the sister missionaries....that's a DANG good way to do it. Oooo we are representing the lord, so you take deep breaths and keep serving 😀 it was chill After that my most favorite sister Anderson invited us over for some tri-tip and scrumpdilicious food!! Yayyy! He son was tellin us how he was in love with one of the past sisters and asked us for advice 😂 good times TUESDAY: TRANFER NEWS DAY!! We started off our with a referral call from this dude who was a past member but left because APPARENTLY he went to prison for 10 years for being found guilty as a sex offender and said he was "found guilty cause I couldnt prove I was inoccent"!!! GIRL BE SO FR, I couldnt hold in my laugh, it was 6:45 in the mornin.... too early for this stuff man🤦‍♀️ I saw a squirrel get ran over too... Not that you needed to know that but I was shooketh and shouldn't have laughed but I did. Sue me 🤷‍♀️ Anywho..... On the flip side! We helped one of our new members do his family history. The spirit was so strong (mom is see why you love doing it now). He wanted to only be sealed to his first wife, she died after only 10 years of marriage. He told us that he went to her grave the other day and told her they would be together forever soon. I lost it. The love that this man has for her. He has never lost an ounce of love for her for the last 40 years. #Bring back old love 😔✊️ Our queen Evonne took us to a steakhouse for dinner and it was BOMBBBB oh my! Also I tried occra... it tastes like a booger that had been warmed in the microwave. Not my cup a tea thats fs. EEYUKKK Our transfers call was awesome!! Peak cinema! 👌 All of the departing missionaries gave the most fire testimonies, I had to say bye to my tongan baddie Sisita MoiMoi 😭😭 I love her. BUT we stayin in Monett, MO for anotha 6 weeks with THE Sister Ginger queen herself, Sister Nielsen!! Wooo! Partyyy! Mega slay for transfers. PDAY: today were headin over to Cassville with the district and playin some good Ole pickle ball and goin on a "hike" (we ain't got no mountains here so it lowkey a neature walk) then back to workkkk 🤑 RIGHTEOUS MOMENT😇🤩 In my personal study this week I read a talk by Bonnie H Cordon called "That They May See" https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2020/04/42cordon?lang=eng Its so good! Go read it! She shared a story about her as a child leading Elder L. Tom Perry down a dark path to the chicken coop while swinging around her flash light, in doing so he stepped into a massive mud puddle. She stated from this experience that she was "shining her light but not in a way that would help Elder Perry". After, she then focused the flashlight just ahead of his steps where he was able to confidently/safely home. I love how this story truly emphasizes shining our light to lead others confidently home. She then shares: "The Lord’s invitation to let our light so shine is not just about randomly waving a beam of light and making the world generally brighter. It is about focusing our light so others may see the way to Christ. It is gathering Israel on this side of the veil—helping others see the next step forward in making and keeping sacred covenants with God. The Savior testified, “Behold I am the light; I have set an example for you.” "You and I have enough light to share right now. We can light the next step to help someone draw nearer to Jesus Christ, and then the next step, and the next." LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!! let it shine so our friends can find the path and confidently return home to our heavenly father. Be the example of the light of Christ, let it shine so bright they won't get lost, in the darkness and the confusing paths of the world. Matthew 5:16 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. I love you guys! Y'all Have a good rest of your week!!! Email me please!! Its the highlight of my weekkkk Love, Sister Coon 🩷 🩷
