8/18th of the way done!!

I love you all!!

Just thought I should throw that out there. Because I do :)

Okay, this one is going to try and be shorter because I have a few more peeps I need to make sure I write. 

This week was amazingly crazy. 

To start I was sick all day Tuesday and that was a complete joy. Loved it so much. Dang it, that was sarcastic. Still working on that. 

Wednesday running around to appointments and doing an awesome service project at this thrift store. We got to put all the Halloween stuff out!! If you know me at all, I LOVE holidays and decorations for them. I was seriously in heaven!! 

Thursday we had a District meeting and two blitzes. A blitz is where all the Missionaries in the Zone of the District go work in one set of missionaries area. Met a nice Jewish lady and a grumpy old man. It was pleasant let me tell ya. Made me joyous. That night we then had more lessons, kick ball with the youth and then drove up to exchanges. 

Friday I got to spend all day with the beautiful Sister Koller. It was seriously the best exchange I think I have been on yet. We were able to find them a couple of potential investigators and we were able to hand out 3 Book of Mormons!! Plus, it was with Sister Koller so that made it that much better.

Saturday we had the lovely weekly planning. For the other missionaries reading this, we don't normally do weekly on Saturday.. we had no other choice this week!! 

But we had dinner at 4 and then headed to the temple with Sam and Kristi for their first time going and doing proxy baptisms!! It was such an incredible experience. I definitely had tears in my eyes the entire time. *cough, thanks mom cough*. The spirit at the Temple is unlike anything else. Please make it a priority to go, seriously!! Some of us only get to go twice a year. 

Alright so yeah that was my week. We are about half way through the transfer which is crazy, but that's how mission life goes, fast!! Speaking of fast, I hit my 8 months today!! One more month and I will be half way done. When did that happen?? 

For those who still read this thing, thanks for hanging on. You're the real MVP. 

I love and miss you all more than you could ever remember. 

And please remember to take a moment and remember those who lost their lives in 9/11. 

Much Love Always, 
Sister MJ Baird
