 So this week was crazy. But we'll see if I can explain it in a way that's at least somewhat interesting. 

So we had exchanges, which basically means that we switch companions for a day to check how we are as missionaries. I was put into my first trio. Our STLs are training and so there's a greenie and then Sister Roy, who is the bounciest, happiest sister missionary I have ever met. If she was a man, I think she'd be my soulmate. 

We started exchanges by going to some service at a foodbank. It was super fun and they gave us three HUGE boxes full of Christmas candy that we have literally been throwing at other missionaries. 

We grabbed some Cane's for lunch, went street contacting and found two REALLY hype people to teach. One man's name is Charles and he invited us to check out the community garden that he's a gardener for. So we went over and helped him weed for a couple of hours. He prayed with us and called us his angels.

Our apartment had another something, like a demon or an unclean spirit, in it. We had it blessed (again) and called President. He told us that we could come and spend the night with him and Elder Stevensen (the apostle) if we were scared. It took us awhile to decide not to go to be honest.

My companion is having some digestive issues so we've been experimenting a bit with what her stomach can handle.
