If y'all answer "cause he just got dunked on" then we can be friends.

 During this past week Sister Simmons and me realized that we knew a lot of references that we thought only we knew. Since she grew up with older siblings we now bond on the fact that we both know random stuff from like 2014 because of our older siblings. So during this whole week we have been singing dunked on! It's getting annoying when we only know two lines from it haha! Thanks Colton for showing this song to me at the young age of 10! 

We had a lesson this week and we asked a member to come because like I said we are MPL QUEENS🙌👑 Well the friend canceled last min and this member then starts talking to us for 30 minutes about ward drama. I was thinking where is the popcorn cause this truly should be an reality TV show. At the same time, me and Sister Simmons always say, just smile and wave. Literally so awk when members try and tell us what's wrong with other members. Like girl we are literally 19 and 20!! But I guess missionaries are therapists now lol.

We met with our less active member Sister Selvage. She is amazing!! We visit her every Tuesday!! Well she lost her patriarchal blessing like years ago and we told her she can request it online. Little did we know that she does not have a church account so as the technicians that we are... 🤓🧐  We made her one and requested it with the very little info she gave us.  Amazingly, they found it, and sent it to her, and it was amazing!!! She was crying and she said "can I read it to y'all?" So we told her it's a personal thing but she was reading it while we were justing sitting there, and after she read it she said "this is so bada**"! 😎 I said yes it is lol! She ain't wrong though, patriarchal blessings are amazing!! It was amazing to see how we helped her find it and then see the joy she got when she read it!!

Sister Simmons left me for two days cause we had exchanges so she head to Pueblo and I stayed in the area!! I got two new comps for two days it was litt!! One of them I knew cause we flew out together, and the other was brand new so I was leading out in the area, and it was sick. We found two people and it was awesome!! We also were fed Spaghetti Pizza which I have never had, but it was gas!!! But the craziest part was we were driving and I was whipping the wheel! And we were at a stop sign and the next thing we know is we see this car zoom and fly into the bushes!!  🌳🚗💨 It was crazy it flew up and landed and then people starting running to it! Guy got out and looked perfectly fine!! It was crazy but a miracle he was ok!!

Can you tell we are cold?

On Friday we were at DC (District Council) that's when we meet with like three other companionships and talk about goals and stuff! But at DC we got a text from a friend who loves feeding us and she said what time are y'all coming over tonight? We completely forgot she signed up to feed us but we had dinner plans with recent converts! And those recent converts wanted to feed us at 8pm!!!! Which shocked me and Sister Simmons!! So we decided to do two dinners one at 5 and one at 8! We also still had lunch during weekly planning and we realized that was not smart because we were stuffed by the end of the night 😋🥴

We went to the theatre!🎶 Our mission had the chance to go see this play singing thing called the Lamb Of God, only if we brought a friend! Our friend Thomas came in clutch and showed up so we got to go and it was so cool! It's free for missionaries and their friends only if we told them in advance so I showed up and I was like "part of three for Sister Kimball" they were like we only got an Elder Kimball for four. I'm like that's not me! Turns out there's an Elder who I have met byt his first name is Kimball and so his name is Elder Young, and I guess he put his name down as Elder Kimball Young.  So they mixed us up! So we still go in for free but in the back which is fine but still we could have been in the front row! 🤦‍♀️ Well this play is all about Christ's last week before his atonement and I looked to my right and I saw tears streaming down my comps face! It was that good! 

We were tracting, and out of no where it starts snowing.😑 So we decided to tract in an indoor apartment building but this building is hard to get into cause you need a code for the gate.  Anyway, we were pulling up and I see the gate open for a guy so I hopped out of the moving car to run and grab the gate before it closed, forgetting to shut the car door behind me! 🤦‍♀️ So Sister Simmons was trying to park with the passenger door open lol btw it was worth it to be warm!! 

We did a stop by and this family has like five kids, four dogs, and one cat and we walk in and right away this little girl said, "You wanna come see my room?"🥹 so precious! I had to say next time I will!! We shared a message with this fam, and I have high hopes. They seemed very interested!!

After that we knocked on a door and this huge guy walked out.  He looked liked the big green giant! Right when he walked out I asked how tall he is and he said 6' 8" which is so crazy! We shared a message and he said wait I'll be right back, and then he comes back with the smallest dog ever.  It fit in the palm of his hand, but it was a regular size dog to us. 

Crazy thing I was getting ready for the day and Sister Simmons comes to get me and we are literally wearing the same outfit.  A jean skirt, black tank top and the same sweater but different colors. It was literally that Spiderman moment when they point at each other. She changed idk why we could have twinned all day 😥 pic below

Sister Simmons and I have been living off the Facebook stories when people post snippets of the new Taylor Swift songs me and Sister Simmons are partying it up! So if you see this post more songs on your Facebook story🙏

I bore my testimony yesterday in church and let's say the ward def loves me jk ahah. I bore my testimony about remembering our temple covenants. Henry B Eyring's talk said "When you keep your temple covenants and remember them, you invite the companionship of the Holy Ghost to both strengthen and purify you."  

Even though I can't go to the temple for 15 months I know when I remember them I can still have the relationship with Heavenly Father. I know we can have the Holy Ghost when we remember these covenants! So go to the temple if y'all can!! I miss it!!
