  Happy Monday!  We have a super busy week my friends! Sister Dupaix and I are trying to catch up on the exchanges we were hoping to have in the beginning of the transfer, but didn't because of our trip to Bismarck. We decided to have 2 exchanges this week.  I went to Rapid Valley with Sister Sorge and we had a great time! Most of our lessons were canceled but we got to meet a lot of members and really worked hard on facebook! She taught me how to play the flute too!  We drove back and I stayed the night in my area and then left the next morning to our Spearfish/Sturgis Sisters apt. YES you did read that correctly! Sturgis as in "Home to the Largest Motorcycle Rally!  Super cute area. Its a small town seperated into a few shallow valleys. Everyone drives a motorcycle and there are pubs everywhere that are just lined with motorcycles 24/7. I love it.  I stayed with Sister Davis and we taught a lesson to a couple in Sturgis and then we took the...

  Aloha Lied Tech week wasn't this last week. It is this week! This week the Yw went thrifting! I invited my non-member friend Brakenna. WE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME !!!! We tried on Prom dresses in the isles and I wrestled Paisley  for a pair of Golden High heels!( akak Barbie shoes) There really cute and didn't fit her( she wasn't going to buy them...) I wasn't technically invited to A party I went to on Friday ( My friend Cece and I were making plans but then she realized  She had a party so I tagged along.) It was so fun. They had A live DJ and strobe lights. It was a party! Then on Saturday I went to hangout with my friend Kendall. We went to Crumble and Sodalicious. Also I made a discovery this week. I am That theater nerd. Kendall is very uncultured when it comes to theater.  So I was telling her about all the musicals she was missing. and I was telling her about the Dear Evan Hansen movie.  I was able to name all of the characters nam...

  My goodness.. One Year down. I'm still struggling to think that I've been a missionary for a whole year! Definitely the best year of my life. But time goes by so fast.  We had such a crazy busy week. But I can't complain because we had such success!  Tuesday we drove up to Hill City to attend a bible study this lady named Ranae was telling me about. We arrived at the Hill City Café and we were led to a back room where the host said that they would meet, except no one was there. We sat at the tables and read the wallpapers. I guess Hill City is big on Smokey the Bear! It's their high school mascot! But we waited and waited and no one showed up. We said a prayer because we knew we were led here for a reason. Out walks Ranae from the kitchen. She own the Café and she came out and talked to us and shared her apologies for no one coming. But really, Sister DuPaix and I knew we were here for Ranae. We talked about her café and how she first started talking to the mi...

 Happy November! Can you even believe it's November?! This time last year I was prepping for MTC and that is SO CRAZY to me. I love being a missionary. Time really flies but I wouldn't change the last year at all!  This was a crazy busy week. Tuesday was my last day in the Canyon Lake Ward :( I was only there a transfer and it was so sad saying goodbye. The CL ward has some of the most unique people i'v ever met and I love them so much!  Wednesday we had to wake up at 5am and get Sister Martin to the Stake Center so she could start her drive with all the other transferring missionaries. She had a 9 hour drive so bless her. I miss her already ;( But after she left I went with my new companion, Siser DuPaix from Wisconsin! We left the stake center to go get my luggage from my old apartment and we started the move. Sister DuPaix and I had to switch apartments with the elders so we could have room for another set of sisters. But let me tell ya. Elders and Sisters ha...

It was good everyone was kind of splittin...
