The Lower Lights

Companion's Log Stardate: Feb 25-Mar 1, 2020 Yup you guessed it, another long crazy yet somehow over so fast week. We had exchanges with our stl's on wednesday, I went with Sister Soper to ysa on ISU campus and it was wack honestly! We were in normal and natural clothes all day, right along with that college life, felt so different. Also like talking to everyone and it's fine and normal to do so and it's great, felt like trc again. Yeah ysa is a different world, I was kinda out of it all day, felt like some out of body experiences sometimes while I was talking, it was weird. And then I got a package from my brothers :) We had interviews with president, my mind always goes blank whenever I talk to him but then later I think of all these things I wish I'd said, it's really annoying. Watched the missionary broadcast with Elder Uchtdorf and it was really good we really liked it. So cool opportunity, weird blessing in disguise that our recent convert (bap...

Companion's Log Stardate: Feb 17-24, 2020 Alright let's see, our whole bishopric got released so they had a little game night party, that was fun. Sister Stichart has a watch that keeps track of steps and stuff and we walked 15.06 miles on Tuesday! But I don't even know if that's like normal or low because we didn't have a way to measure it before. We finally had another lesson with Katelynn, it's been so long since we've seen her, especially in missionary time, so it felt strange. But it was good, I guess, I don't know, I was just super nervous and stuff, we're taking it slow for now. We have an awesome lady who just moved into our ward who loves coming with us to lessons and stuff, she's great! had zone council, which basically reminded me of all the many things I want to work on and improve. Helped someone move as a district, they had a TON of magic the gathering cards so Elder Sorensen geeked out hard lol. Then super cool experienc...

Companion's Log Stardate: Feb 11-17, 2020 Well we had another fhe with the Gordon's, we didn't play any games this time but we did get to hear some cool cop stories (many of which involved the sketchy motel in my area, where our bum recent convert lives cough cough). We had another temple trip, with Sister Lewis's district, and yeah sorry I pretty much had to fight falling asleep the whole time. Stop waking me up at 5 you guys!  Okay I haven't talked about Rhiannon yet, she's this awesome lady in Sister Lewis's area who we started teaching at the beginning of this transfer. She is so freakin cool! She told Sister Harper (this amazing member who has helped us SO much with her) that she had an appointment with us that we didn't set up so we were confused, turns out it was the Jehovah's Witnesses so we actually have to thank them for getting us a lesson with her lol! But yeah she is so freaking golden and amazing! She's been through some real...

Companion's Log Stardate: Feb 4-10, 2020 Well yet another crazy long yet fast week. We had a district temple trip on Tuesday which was cool except that spiritual experiences are exhausting whether you wake at 5 beforehand or not, so our brains were all wack the rest of the day. It was also Carmelita's birthday so we took the Elders with us to sing to her! Met with Katelynn's mom. Aghhh yeah idk. It was good, we made up and stuff but I still ended up crying for like an hour I don't really know why. Katelynn still needs some time, we'll see. I'm trying really hard not to blame myself for everything but I still feel like I messed up and it's all on me even if we didn't really do anything wrong. I'm coming to better understand forgiveness and charity. Christ told His disciples "as I have loved you, love one another" he also told them "greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Charity is t...
