January 17, 2022 "Interviews and Exchanges"

 Hey guys! Another week, another month mark. Last pday I hit 11 months. This mission is flying by and I can't imagine going home. 


I'm sorry my emails have been going downhill so much lately. I haven't known what to say or feel like I have the time to say it. I love and miss you guys a ton though. 
This week was pretty busy. We had interviews and exchanges this week. 

So President opened the door and said, "I hear you've been eating raccoon Sister Brice." And a wave of terror washed over me.

"President, that was about 6 months ago and I got chewed out for it, I've repented and I'm sorry." I replied. There was a pause as President stared at me.

"Now who chewed you out for that?" President Bailey asked. "You have them talk to me. And if you ever feel the need to eat a raccoon again, you go for it. This mission only happens once you know. Eating a raccoon, you must be from Idaho."

And that was the time my mission president gave me permission to eat a raccoon. I now have no regrets.

Also, we went on exchanges to Le Mars, Iowa- the ice cream capital of the world. So of course we had to have some ice cream.

Love,
Sister Brice

June 27, 2022 "A Great Fight of Afflictions"

  Hey everyone! Sorry it's been awhile. I moved into the Fontanelle apartments of North Omaha and it's been a wild ride. To catch you up: we moved into an area that hadn't had some success for awhile. Historically their relationship with missionaries, especially sisters, has been the worst in the mission. To top it off, we got bedbugs and I found out I was allergic to them just in time to be introduced to an apostle of the Lord. This week our apartments AC and washing machine broke so we've been living in front of our box fan and not touching the oven unless it's absolutely necessary. It's permanently about 84 degrees in our apartment right now. We had some crazy stories happen. One of the older sisters in our ward called us bawling and told us that her husband had cheated on her. We drove right over and for the next three hours tried to coordinate between the Relief Society and this dear Sister who was really struggling and comfort her because she had no one el...

May 9, 2022 "Baptism"

  Hey Guys! OK, I'm going to try to do my best to write a really good email.  We moved a LOT of people this week. It was a lot of fun but sometimes stressful because the people we were moving were very stressed.  A family in our ward let us try fresh unpasteurized milk straight from the cow. And it's absolutely delicious. I might be in love. They gave us a gallon of milk. Mother's day was a blast too!  Also, the highlight was Sonora's baptism. Sonora was someone that we've been teaching for awhile. She's incredibly sweet and has one of the most earnest desires to know the truth of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We've spent several weeks and months helping to answer her questions and focus her attention on Jesus Christ and His restored gospel.  She was doing everything right- studying, praying, keeping the commandments, and having a genuine desire but for the longest time she didn't believe in the Book of mormon or modern prophets. It was a bit of a...

May 2, 2022 "At A Hindu Temple"

  Hey guys! We had a pretty wild week. Transfers hit and Sister Waite was sent to Nebraska City. Sister Gessel (my new comp) and I have been getting along really well. We have been able to do a lot of service this week AND we presented a lecture on our church at a Hindu temple. It was a blast and I learned a lot about the Hindu culture and religion.  Sorry this email is short! Love you all, Sister Brice
