April 20, 2015 Rain, Rain and more Rain!

This week has been pretty wet! But I love storms, so I really didn't mind! Oh, I hope Samuel had a nice birthday! Love you buddy!

So at the beginning of the week, Monday and Tuesday we had the Gulf Breeze sisters staying in our apt. because they had to get a mold infested wall removed from their apt. Monday morning we all went to Sister L's and went on a walk, it was raining but it was still fun! Then we went back to her place and had smoothies and bagels. Those were super good! She makes the best smoothies! We then had the rest of our good P-day. Then we went and had a great and I mean GREAT lesson with V.  A. was there for dinner but then he had to leave.. but, his dad was there. He is a member and just happened to be in town this last week. So we taught her the Plan of Salvation! It was a wonderful lesson! The spirit was so strong. She told us she 100% believes the Plan of Salvation. When we told her about the Celestial Kingdom she started crying and expressed how she wants to live there with her family forever! She also loved learning about the Spirit World. She then was like I really, really want to marry and get sealed to A. She started crying about that as well. She asked us if she can't get sealed without knowing the Book Of Mormon is true? We told her no.. she was like, I just feel like I won't ever know if it is.. We testified to her that we know if she prays and asks God with that sincere heart.. She will know! She really is doing so well. We love her so much!!!

On Tuesday we had a nice district activity. We learned about teaching people not lessons and how to begin teaching. We did this thing, it wasn't a role play, but we each had to write a question on the board and we then got assigned a question and had to answer it.  I got the hardest question... I was sad I couldn't answer it for Elder Fortin, but I did do some extra studies on it and kind of found a answer.. after I asked President Smith in our interview after district meeting. We did a very short district activity we had another Nerf War for about 45 minutes. We were going to go to the Naval Air Museum but we didn't have time, it would have taken too much time out of our proselyting day but after the Nerf War  we headed to Pensacola. We had interviews with President Smith. Those went good,  I just love my Mission President and his wife! They are such great leaders!!! While we were waiting some of the other sisters and I drew some pictures on the board... They are on the Blog.. When we were driving home... we got NAILED with rain, it was crazy!! There was thunder and lighting everywhere... I loved it,  then we had to pull over because it was raining so bad. We couldn't see 15 feet in front of us.  When we stopped I took of my shoes and got out.. the water almost covered my feet. it was really deep in the parking lot.. haha it was flooded kind of bad in some areas we passed.. When we got home it was still raining, but not as bad. We went and saw a member in our apt. complex. The sisters spent the night again!

Wednesday we did some service at the thrift store and had a small lunch! Then we went to Predio for a baptism.  It was one of Sister Kirtons old investigators. She spoke for it the Y's drove us there. We had a good time with them! We saw M. S. for our first new member lessons. She is a completely different person! It was crazy! She talked, she even went to Mormon Prom and danced! She was so shy before her baptism and now she is just so different, it is amazing! We taught her about obedience. We then talked to her grandma forever after her lesson.. She is a really great women!

Thursday was weekly planning. We saw the R.  we taught about Family History and Temples and Eternal marriage. That was sweet!

We had dinner with the W's. They are moving to Turkey! How cool is that? So sweet!  It would be kind of scary to move you whole family over there right now but still it's pretty cool. They have lived some pretty awesome areas. Then we went to our Correlation meeting.

Friday we went and saw sister W's and sister A.! We then had a lesson with J, we taught her about Following the Prophet. She is doing really good. Continuing to pray and read.  We read from 1 Nephi with her. We had dinner with the C. family. I love that family! They are so cute! Their little boys are adorable! I think I got pictures to send. We played Pictionary with them haha... We then went to movie night! We watched some really good movies about enduring to the end. The Elders did a great job at picking some real tear jerkers.. Oh, when we got to movie night the Gulf Breeze Sisters and the Eders recent convert attacked us with Nerf bullets. When the Elders got there we did the same thing... I may or may have not been playing around after and shot someone in the back of the neck.... Oops! it also may or may have not left a nice welt..... :/ Word of advice.. PBC pipes work great for Nerf guns....  

Saturday we did service at the thrift store. Then we tried to see the R's.. No one was home so we got to go and meet with this less active that we haven't met before. The Elders use to work with him, he was super cool and super friendly. He said we could come see him and his family again. We then had a really good dinner with the G. family and The L's. who are new in the ward. That was really cool. I found out they know Sister Strickland, small world. We then went to play basketball. There were so many people there. We ended up playing Hunger Games Dodge Ball.. That was super fun! I don't mean to brag or anything but I won! :D haha... Elder Payne won the first one, then it was me..haha it is a super fun game though..

Sunday we had a nice time at church! We had some CRAZY storms again.. along with this whole wet week.. but yesterday was awesome! Poring rain.. thunder every where.. I don't think people know what rolling thunder is until you experience a thunderstorm in Florida. I love them! We made this game... for keeping the commandments. We played it with the S. family after dinner. Then we saw C. She is such a busy women, it's crazy!! Then we saw the H's. Another really cute family.

Well,  I love y'all so much! Hope you have a great week!

HEY EVERYBODY!

How has everyone's week been? This week has kind of been a weird Blur..... but it has been a nice one! :)

Monday we spent most of the p-day with the Y's which was fun! They took us to Walmart and they did Sister Kirtons Makeup! :) That was fun!

Tuesday was so great!! We had a wonderful Zone Training. We learned from our Zone Leaders and our Sister Trainer Leaders some wonderful things. They taught about Effective OYM'S (TALKING TO EVERYONE, open your mouth)  We also talked on referrals and on finding families! It is becoming more and more of a push in finding families. Which is fine by me! :) Families are so amazing to teach! To be able to bring them together and help them reach the goal of an Eternal Family! After zone training we played kickball. That was pretty fun! I did get a little sunburned, which is weird because I don't normally get burned, but it was fun! I really love our zone! It is so amazing to me how many friendships you really can develop in the mission! The Mission really is the BEST choice ever! Anyone thinking about serving a mission... DO IT! You will NEVER regret it! If you don't know if you should serve, I would encourage you all to PRAY about it! It truly will bless your life and the lives of so many others!

So when we got home we did some contacting and then went and saw the C's. They really are a awesome couple! They are so nice and welcoming to missionaries. Even thought they aren't active in the church they will do whatever they can to help us out! :)

Wednesday we got to do our service at the thrift store. Then we saw our investigator J. We taught her how the Book of Mormon and Bible go hand in hand with each other, how they support each other. We also talked to her about her prayers.  :) We then went to Navarre Park and did some contacting. Then we had a nice lesson with A. she also made us dinner! :) Then we shared some scriptures with her and her non member husband. We were able to leave them with some readings. He was asking us some great questions! :) We are super excited to continue seeing them. They are such a cute couple! We talked to him about the Book of Mormon and the Bible as well. :) It was nice! :)

Thursday we planned for our week and had a lesson with the R. Then we had dinner with the R's. Their son is coming home from his mission in Brazil this Wed.  So the dad made some Cajun dish  that was pretty good. It was something that he learned to make in Louisiana. It was kind of spicy, but really good. We then had our correlation meeting. :)

Friday we had to spend a lot of time updating our area book because it was really bad and really missing a lot of papers that we didn't even know needed to be in there. Then we saw a less active member that we have been trying to see since Christmas. She hasn't been home or has been sleeping.  It was cool to see her. She is just having a lot of family stuff going on. Then we went and had a visit/lesson with V. and A. We read with them 3 Nephi 11. about when Christ came to the Americas. I think they enjoyed it. We then went to our movie night. Only 2 people came, but it was fun still. We watched some good movies on the Holy Ghost. Sister S. bore her Testimony in sign language, which was really neat because it brought the spirit so fast.. it was really neat!  :)

Saturday we did some contacting, not really too much.... We worked at the thrift store and had a nice dinner and lesson with Sister C. and her daughter N. as well. They cooked us a nice southern meal of fried chicken, creamed corn. biscuits, homemade mashed taters and mac and cheese, it was really yummy!  We then went to volleyball, but no one came because it was Mormon Prom.

Sunday! V. and A. came to church! It was so neat! V. was crying the whole time during fast and testimony meeting. She leaned over to us and said " I don't know why every time I come here I have to cry". We were able to tell her why and let her know it was the spirit. She really enjoyed church again. A's dad is in town. ( he is a fully active member from Utah.) He kind of acted like we hadn't met his son and V. before. It was kind of funny actually, but we set up a dinner with them for tonight. We are teaching the Plan of Salvation. I am super excited about it. :) So after church we went to the island and tried to see some less actives out there and to talk to some people... No one was out because it has been really wet these last few days.. Then we went to see another less active family but they were sick... :( Then we had a really fun dinner with our Relief Society President. That was really fun! She cooked us a ton of German food, which was awesome! :) We had a really great time with her :)

Today has been super rainy, but we have been hanging our with the Gulf Breeze Sisters a lot. We went and exercised with Sister L. then she made us really good smoothies. The sisters have been at our apt. all day because they are getting a wall fixed in theirs, it had mold on it and creepy bugs in the windows, but we love having them over.  I am sorry this letter isn't too exciting. I love y'all!!

Hope y'all have a wonderful week! Don't forget to;

 

P-ersist

U-ntil

S-omething

H-appens.
 

Love you!

April 6, 2015 Baptism

 

 

Hey Everybunny! How was y'alls Easter? Mine was eggciting and eggcelent.

So this week feels like it has been pretty busy! Even though our numbers didn't really show it that much, but we had a great week anyway! :D Monday we played Hunger Games Dodge Ball.. That was so much fun! Who would have thought that dodge ball would make you so sore!! It was really fun though! We had a wonderful Family Home Evening with The C. Family! We went down to Navarre Beach with them. They fed us dinner and we took some fun pictures! They are a great family! They kind of remind me of our family! :) I love the amazing beaches here. Even though I do miss the California beaches. There is just something special about them..

So on Tuesday it was pretty busy! We had a great district meeting! We learned about revelation through prayer! How prayer is KEY in conversion. Our investigators need to pray in order to be converted. In order to receive that knowledge that the church is true! We did some role plays about teaching our "Investigators" how to pray. Those were umm fun! It's so awkward role playing.  Especially with Elders..... I don't know why... after that we had lunch.... :)

We then headed back to the church to start filling the font.... Oh boy was that something special.. hahaha.... When we got there we realized that the font didn't get drained all the way from the baptism on Saturday the plug was pulled but it got clogged when there was only about 6 inches of water left to drain.. So we were a little worried... We had gone early to clean the font, it is a good thing we did.. We tried to plunge it, that didn't work. We then called some members. One member came with a Shop Vac and the Elders showed up with draino.... hahaha while we were waiting for the member to come with the Shop Vac we just took buckets and bailed out about 5 out of the 6 inches of water.. My poor companion.. Her back was hurting really bad.. I tried to get her to sit down but she is a stubborn one.. love her... haha  When the member came he was using the vacuum to try and unclog it but it wasn't working.. He then just vacuumed up the water and we started filling.... (people came and fixed it after the baptism) but we did get some epic pictures..

So after we filled the font the baptism didn't start until later.. because she was scared to come out of the bathroom.. she is VERY Shy and wasn't expecting that many people to show up.. So that made the service start about 30 minutes late, but it was all good. Right when it ended we headed to our dinner. Then we realized the guy who baptized her has to sign the baptism record..so we drove over there and realized that he actually didn't have to sign... haha anyway we ended up getting home at about 9:30, but it was all good and let's hope that she had a nice experience.

Wednesday was one of my favorite holidays.  Sadly I didn't get to pull any pranks. We did get to do some service.. That is always fun! We then got some movies together for our appointment later that night.. Then we went to see a lady who is about 29 who had open heart surgery about a month and a half ago. She set up a return appointment with us to eat dinner with her and her husband who isn't a member on Wed. We are very excited for that!They are the sweetest couple. Then we had dinner with another less active member. We were going to watch the videos that we got ready but they didn't work sadly, so we ended up watching the " Reflections of Christ." Which was still good, she gave us cute little Easter Baskets. :) We love her! :)

Thursday we did some service for Sister P. She is a member in our ward. We Raked her front yard, which was huge.. But it was a lot of fun! We also got to teach E. J. while working as well. She was asking questions about the Word of Wisdom, that was really nice! There were so many leaves at her house. We filled 11 HUGE garbage bags full of leaves.. That was just the front yard.. :) Then we were suppose to do some service for C. but she cancelled.. oh well.... we then got ready for exchanges! I got to go to Milton! Finally left Navarre for more than a few hours.. hahaha Milton was fun! It was nice to be able to bike some more... even though I realized how out of shape I am... I haven't biked in so long, that it hurt to bike. It didn't help the fact that it was so hot! It was super fun though. I got to meet some really neat people in Milton.

Friday I spent the whole day in Milton as well. It was a lot of fun! The members and their investigators seem super cool! One of their investigators little boy is about a year and a half old. While I was praying, I felt these little fingers in my mouth... hahaha. I pulled them away and right back they went. I started laughing in the prayer, I then pulled them away again and right back they went. His mom looked at me during the prayer and started laughing. It was pretty funny. The other son was like "Isn't a bird Gods Angel ?" It was really funny! He was super cute too. I love kids!! :D  I heard about your prank Charity, that was a good one.. Even though I think I know you to well... haha When we got back from exchanges we showed up at movie night and this less active that Sister K. had visited with came up to me and was like " Girl! I missed you! Don't ever leave like that again, and if you have to at least tell me first." It was pretty funny! :) The members here are so awesome!

Saturday, Conference WAS SO GOOD!  I hope everyone had the chance to watch it! It really was amazing! I loved the first talk from President Eyring. That was very great! I also loved Elder Bednar's talk. "We can be blessed to hush our fears" Remember to;

1. Look to Christ

2.Build a foundation of Christ

3. Press forward with faith in Christ.

I really loved his talk!  I also really enjoyed Dale Renlund's talk. I liked how he said "God Cares a lot more about who we are and what we are becoming than what we were. "  also how he also said "We know perfectly well that we are NOT perfect."

Conference was really just so great! I think that the older I get I just get so much more out of conference. I learn a lot more.. So I had some questions when I started watching conference... I felt they were answered by Elder Packer, Elder L Tom Perry and Elder D Todd Christofferson.  If you didn't notice all of those talks were on MARRIAGE........ and I am kidding about getting those questions answered.  I feel that was funnier to me than it will be to y'all... any whom,

Sunday was a nice Easter. Again Conference was great!  That would be about what we did.. Oh and we did some contacting, it was a nice Easter! :) I hope y'alls Easter was Great! Thank y'all for everything you do! I love you and pray for y'all everyday! Keep keeping on! Love you!

Love, Sister Hannah Seegrist

Hey everyone! how has your week been? Hope it has been good! My week was nice! Monday we had dinner with the T's after p-day was over.. I shared grandma's poem with them. They enjoyed it. Then we went and saw Marc. (V's bf) we taught him a little about the Plan of Salvation. He is coping well with everything.

Tuesday we had a nice district meeting we just made goals as a district for this transfer. We are doing a "Sisters against Elders" OYM (contacting) competition. Let's see who will win.. probably them. They got over 50 last week. haha.. My awesome companion taught about our purpose. She did a great job! After a nice meeting we went and tried to contact a referral. I am pretty sure she just doesn't want to see us... her car has been there every time.. who knows? We then went and saw the R's. They are so awesome! They really make us laugh every time we go over there. He was telling us about the other day when his son was drinking.  Afterwards we went contacting! I feel like I haven't been actual contacting in forever!! I love it.. We had dinner with the F. family, we did a Faith Rocket.. the first one didn't work.... #extraawkward.. #catchingmembershomesonfireoneatatime.. Then we had correlation meeting because our ward mission leader couldn't do it on Thursday.. we then chatted with some members for a little bit afterwards.

Wed.. We worked at the thrift store. Oh, the body.... I found out more... it isn't as cool as my last story. Maybe we can just stick to it.... haha a man actually just had a heart attack in the bushes.. How lame is that? Sad.  Then went to see J. She wasn't home so we planned for movie night. We picked movies to show. Since it was Sister Kirton's and my turn to do it. This week it was on Repentance. That really has been a big focus for this week.. That and the Atonement.. Wonder Why? I am really looking forward to Easter and General Conference. I cant wait to hear what our prophet and everyone has to say! I can't believe that this will be my second conference on the mission. And the first one was really not that long ago.. but anyway we then had a nice dinner with the D's; Then we went and had a lesson with M. She is getting baptized on Tuesday! We are so excited for her! We just planned her baptism and went over the interview questions with her. We then went and made the programs for he baptism.

Thursday was weekly planning, we got most of it done.. not comp inventory.. but we did that throughout the week. :) We were able to see J. That was good.  We then had dinner with Sister R. She took us to the Thia Hut. We have been there a few times, it is really good,so I don't mind. We then went to M's baptism interview. Elder Burnett (our district leader) had us sit in on her interview. It was cool to see how he does those. She is super shy, I am pretty sure that is why he has us go in. but She passed!

Friday we saw Sister W's. Then we had a really fun district service activity. We raked this ladies lawn which was pretty big. It was a really fun way to build our district unity. We have a really great district! We call ourselves the NavarreBreeze.  We played with pinecones..  after a few hours of service there we all left. While we were driving the Elders texted us and say "Hey we found a tick, check yourselves." That made us cringe a little. haha We then had a nice dinner with Sister K. ,Sister P. and miss E. J.  They came to movie night after that was really great! We watched videos on Repentance.

Saturday we did some service at the thrift store. Then we had a quick lunch then headed to a baptism.. So funny thing.. haha Sister Kirton and I were saying the prayers.. I had opening.... or so I thought.. They had Sister Cooper's name down.. I was like "Are you kidding me? I have been here for almost 8 months and this is what I get? You call me Sister Cooper." hahaha I just went up and prayed anyway but I mean really Sister Cooper was here for about 2 months and I am here for almost 8, it was actually pretty funny. Ward members now call me Sister Cooper to tease me.. haha the lady who made the programs after I prayed realized what she did and was apologizing a ton. :) Oh and the water at the baptism was GROSS!~ lets hope it doesn't look like that tomorrow at our baptism. It was like a brownish green. He had to get dunked twice because his foot came up. After the baptism we went contacting. We contacted this one guy, we found out he was actually a member who hasn't been to church in about 40 years. We then realized he is actually on the roster, so that was pretty neat. He said he may be calling us to help him out with his Family History. Then we went to the C's house. We rode with her down to Pensacola to the stake center for he General Women's Broadcast. It was really good! It's not the same without all the sisters and mom. But it was really nice. We had dinner and I got to see Sister Bracey. :D I really liked how it was all on the Family. Families are so important!

Sunday, Sunday was great! V. came to church!! She just randomly showed up! Her, A. and E. A. was apparently like "Hey we are going to church tomorrow." (He is a less active) He went less active about 10 years ago.. He is about 28 years old. But they just showed up! We were so excited. We think they enjoyed it. They wanted to stay for all three hours but she got a really bad headache.. :( but they stayed for the first two hours. That really was, I think the highlight of my week. :) We had a nice dinner with the L's. We then went and saw a less active couple. That was nice. :)

So today we played "Hunger Games Dodge Ball" That was really fun! Again, We have a great district. anyways, well I love y'all and hope y'all have a wonderful Easter and enjoy conference.

Love, Sister Hannah Seegrist

Hey Y'all!

How has your week been? I hope it has been good. It's spring break and the town in hopping.'

So Monday we had a good day, we did our fun p-day stuff. We got a text about how our investigator S. is most likely in a rehab place, we haven't really heard much more on that. But we are praying for him and hope he can get the help he needs.

Tuesday we had a good district meeting we learned about self mastery.  We also learned about using scriptures.  We played a game where we had to find a scripture for points of the restoration in 30 seconds and we couldn't use PMG! It really just showed how much I really need to learn! We then went to Publix and got tea bags to do some faith rockets. At first we ended up buying the wrong ones but we then went and found the right ones. Then we taught B. a lesson about the Plan of Salvation and about the Word of Wisdom.  We then had dinner :)

Wednesday was service day at the thrift store, that was good as usual. Then we picked out some bible videos to show at movie night for Friday. We then had a dinner with the K's. They are a awesome family as well. Then we taught a lesson to a part member family. We did a Restoration recap and then did a faith rocket as well. We had some crazy Fog! It was so hard to see while I was driving, it was pretty exciting!

Thursday we did weekly planning, all of our appointments fell though, even our correlation meeting. We then had a dinner with a awesome family. We forgot to tell her about Sister K food allergies and she cooked the chicken in salsa that had citric acid in it and she is allergic to that so that was interesting the member found something else for her to eat.

Friday was my 7 month mark! Can you believe it, it doesn't like a month ago I had my 6 month mark! Crazy huh!  Anyway, we saw the usual crowd. We then went and did some tracting. That was fun. We only had one lady who was rude to us. She was like "I DONT WANT IT"  anyways we didn't let her ruin our day. Then we had a southern meal,  country fried stake and potatoes and some southern pie. I cant remember what it was called. We had movie night only 2 people showed up this time a member and a non member. We are glad the non member came. We watched videos on the Resurrection and the Apostles. It was pretty good. :)

Saturday was a  long interesting day.  We did some service then we lost track of time and ended up thinking dinner was a 5:30 and it was actually at 5. They texted and were like are you alright it was interesting but they were understanding and super friendly about it.  These people we ate at have pet squirrels, how cool is that? They were so cute! After that we had a nice time at volleyball.

Sunday we had a homecoming talk from the stake presidents daughter. She just got back from Panama City Panama Mission. We got to see an investigator and a less active. We then did some contacting! We then went to a goodbye party for a family in the ward. That was nice.

Today was good. We went to Walmart and the lady behind us paid for all of our stuff! That was so sweet of her! Well, family and friends, I love you and hope you all have a great week! Keep smiling and stay happy.. oh and make good choices. Never give up! You are amazing just the way you are....

Have a great week!

Love,Sister Hannah Seegrist

Hey everyone!

 This week has been pretty interesting. Monday we had some really great lessons. We got to visit with this less active who was getting open heart surgery. She is only 29 years old, as we visited with her she asked if after her surgery we could come a re-teach her the lessons. We are super excited about that. She was able to receive a priesthood blessing. That was really neat!

We then went and saw another less active. We watched some Mormon Messages with her. She bought a ton of treats. It was really fun!  Then we spent the rest of the night packing Sister Bracey's stuff.

Tuesday we headed to Pensacola. We had Zone Training. That was really great, we talked about having charity and being BOLD! It was really well said. We then had a zone activity, but I couldn't stay because Sister K, Sister P and I had to drive to Fort Walton to drop Sister P. off with her new companions. That was about a hour and a half drive. ..... we used 99.9 miles that day thank goodness they gave them back to us.

When we got home it was about 6 o'clock at night. Sister K. unpacked.

On Wed.  We worked at the thrift store. We had a great lesson with J.. She is progressing so well.. We the tried to see the R. but they were not home. We then had some rain.. all day. We had a lesson with these two young girls who their dad is a member but they aren't. That went good. We got to know them a little bit. They don't talk at all.

Thursday we had a member give us a lot of food. She gave us bread and fish, that was really nice of her. We then went to Fort Walton for an appt. Sister C. then took us out to dinner. We also had a nice service activity with J. It was her daughter's birthday, so we helped to get things ready for her party, the things we do as missionaries. The ward mission leader found out we were trying to set him up with someone in Destin..... that was super funny. I tried to deny everything but I couldn't it was all Sister Bracey's doing anyways, hahaha...

Friday we did a little family history. We are trying to understand how to use it more. Then we had a lesson and lunch with Sister Y. Then we went to help L. with her family history. That was nice, we found some really cool stuff last week and are now trying to find more on another line.

Then we saw the R. They made us food, they are so funny! haha... I hope y'all enjoyed the voice recordings... if you didn't get them ask my mom.

We then went and packed for our exchange then we had dinner with Sister C. She took us out to eat at this Italian place. That was good., then we went to movie night. Sister N. came her for exchanges.

Saturday we were on exchanges and we did some service at the thrift store.. Then we had a lesson with our new investigator S. That was a bit weird of a lesson, but he is super excited about the gospel.... SUPER excited! Then we saw some less actives. After the L.'s took us out to lunch to New York Pizza. Then we did some contacting. We tracted one house and got a new investigator out of it.  This guy we talked to wasn't interested but he said that he never sees his neighbor go to church..  so we were like okay maybe we will go knock at his door. There was a big fence around it so Sister Nelson was like. "I don't like fences" well, I don't like them either but I was like..... mmm what the heck.. YOMO (your only a missionary once) so we went and knocked, no one answered but we knocked again for salvation and this older guy came to the door, he invited us in right off the bat, but we couldn't go in because there wasn't a female there, so he came outside and we talked for a while, we taught the Restoration and gave him a Book of Mormon and also set up a return appointment. That was a really neat YOMO experience.  Then we went to our ward blue and gold scout dinner... A member invited us to come eat dinner with them there, which was nice. We then played volleyball and exchanged back.

Sunday we had 3 investigators come to church! B. his son and S. That was good they came..... After church we did studies and then we finished weekly planning. We had dinner with the L's.  I don't know what else went on this week.. but it was all good. I love y'all and hope you have a great week! I love you!

Love, Sister Hannah Seegrist

Hey Y'all,

I cant believe that it is transfer time again. But you better believe that I am staying in Navarre for yet another transfer! I really am so blessed to be serving her in this great ward and area.

So, this week was interesting and felt pretty long. On Monday, Which feels like forever ago. We did our usual P-day stuff. We then saw V. and A. That was really great!

Tuesday was good. We had a good District meeting our zone leaders came. They did a little training on planning.  Elder Christensen taught on humility, that was really good as well and Elder Burnett taught about Finding. That was also really good. We then had an AWESOME district activity. NERF WAR!! it was so much fun as always! I love our district. We then had a lunch with a less active  my companion ate food that she is allergic to, her tongue swelled up, poor girl. We then met again with V. :)  That was really fun! :)

On Wed.  we worked at the thrift store. There was a huge Helicopter crash about 2 miles from our apt. I am sure you all heard about it. It was really sad.

We saw our less active V. it was a good visit.  We didn't know that would be our last visit with her. We got a call this morning and found out she passed away. :( it has been hard today....so moving away from the really sad news.

Then we had dinner with E.J and Sister P .  It was a nice dinner, steak, taters, salad, it was good. We then saw the C's! They are doing good.

Thursday we did our weekly planning then went to a Relief Society dinner.

Friday was just one of those days.. a few people never got back with us or else people cancelled their appointments. We went to this new Japanese place here in Navarre.  It took forever because it was so busy. It took us about an hour and a half to get our food. So we had to get it to go because we had movie night.  We had one non member come a lady the Elders are teaching she is getting baptized.

Saturday we saw E. We then went to "All American Hero's." yummy :) We then did service at the thrift store. We played basketball man that was so fun!!  I haven't played in forever, people didn't know that I kind of knew how to play so they were kind of shocked, they were like "Where is this coming from?"  I was pretty gross after though. 

Sunday we had 1 gator to church.  We had dinner with the L's. That was really nice. Then  we waited for transfer calls. :) Happy to be staying in Navarre again! :) well this is about all that happened this week. I love y'all. Stay happy!  Keep the faith and remember who you are!

Love, Sister Hannah Seegrist
