This week's headline comes from the fabulous Miss U. That is apparently what she said when she met her husband and he told her he was from Berkeley County (which is where M is). She made us PB&J this week. She's the best.
So the unfortunate thing about M is that no one here is actually super Southern, so a lot of southern things don't really happen. But, just so I can assure you all that there is still a sense of humor, here is a list of things that have actually been said this week within our companionship.
*"The only thing more beautiful than mac & cheese is us." -Sister Julander
*"I am a unicorn!!" *proceeds to try and spear Sister Julander with her bun* -Sister Goettsche
*"I just want to be a snail." -Sister Pew

| See mom? I am having fun! |
 |
| The companionship |
 |
| I think this is an elder from her MTC district |
 |
| Being confused |
*"I'm allergic? ... No, I'm related." -Sister Pew
So, there's that. Being in a trio is wildly entertaining, fam.
This week was pretty slow. All of our lessons but one cancelled on us, which was a huge bummer. But there were also some crazy things. Some highlights include:
-Monday: Making homemade mac & cheese for my companions, which will heretofore be known as the Great Cheese Coma of 2017, plus I got to meet Sister C, who is in her 60s, unmarried, and basically needs to be the ruler of the universe. If you mixed Senorita Taylor with someone who literally never gets frustrated, you'd get Miss C. She's amazing.
-Tuesday: We literally all caught the spirit of Elijah because for in-field training that day we decided to do some family history and fill out our pedigree books that President sent us. And GUESS WHAT IT WAS REALLY FUN...I'm sorta mad I didn't do more family history before my mission, but I'm glad that our church building has a family history center available for our use (during non-proselyting time, of course). So, also, if anyone in my family has any family history information that they have for some reason NOT added to FamilySearch, do it! Also, everyone here loves family history because they're all converts who want to baptize their ancestors and everyone else, so I'm basically a celebrity because my very own father works for FamilySearch.
-Wednesday: That day we tried to find people with no luck, but that evening we had a lesson with a less active and his investigator spouse at a members' home. These members, specifically, being the Ds. The Ds are amazing. So when the investigators didn't show up, the Ds told us that we should just teach them the lesson (because in our mission we've been encouraged to have lessons in members' homes). And once they found out we were teaching the Restoration, they decided to just have us watch Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration, and then we all bore our testimonies about Joseph Smith.
-Thursday: We did service literally all day. We went to M with Miss U, who apparently named me Laura after one of the characters in a movie called Dr. Zhivago which sounds like a terrible movie, but apparently I look like the main character a little bit. And then we helped Sister J move. The Georgetown elders actually came down to Book of Mormon class because they slept over with the M elders because the M elders needed a ride to ZTM Friday morning, and turns out Elder W used to serve here. So everyone at Book of Mormon class totally knew him. But anyways. Crazy day.
-Friday: ZTM! It was super awesome. Elder G and Elder R did a great job, despite all the changes, and Sister I and Sister F, the STLs, are the sweetest. Elder G and Elder R gave a whole training about how we all need to have more fun. I was having fun before, but now I'm being encouraged to have even more fun. So this is really exciting. Also, I got to officially meet Elder R because I hadn't done that yet. He's pretty cool. Also, that night I got a blessing because I just can't sleep whenever I'm transferred until I get a blessing. Our elders are so cool. Elder D came with like, a talk about priesthood blessings and faith. And Elder G gave a very inspired blessing. So that was awesome.
-Saturday: We had a lesson with E scheduled, but she didn't show up. We also had a lesson with R, and he canceled. So we did some service for a less active with the elders, and we were able to do weekly planning and comp inventory, where we evaluated if we are having enough fun or not. And it turns out that I am really good at getting to the root of the problem. We ironed out a lot of stuff, which was not dramatic or bad, and it was great.
-Yesterday: we are growing steadily in reputation, because Sister Goettsche sings, and Sister Julander sings, and I sing, so we all sing for people a lot. Yesterday we sung for a less active and her unbaptized 19 year old son, and also Brother R's primary class, and we can feel that we will be asked to sing in sacrament and probably also at Zone Conference on Friday. But whatever. We also met a less active named V, and she was way nice. We got all the information Bishop needs to get her records and he agreed to go visit her. Every Sunday night, Bishop goes out and visits less actives and investigators. THIS GUY. HE IS THE BEST GUY.
Today we're heading down to Summerville! Next week we'll probably go to Charleston, though, so that's exciting.
I love y'all! Don't let the muggles get you down!
All my love,
Sister Pew
