Letter & Pictures

So this past week has been crazy. just like the others

seriously so much crazy foolishness is goin on! ahhh!

First of all lets talk missionary talk for a bit lol ;) we got new neighbors next door to us and we talked to them. then one night they just started asking us questions about who we were etc. so we started teaching them about BoM. that was monday night. and their names are Erica and Jeremiah Green. Jeremiah started tellin us how he was called as a prophet.. oh boy not again! they seem so legit!! lol the next night, we brought an amazing member, sis bassett. she had me over on my bday :) but she came and it was aweosme!! we shared half the restoration with the cups n stuff. ya know visual aid. we tried to emphize how when the authority is lost things like baptisms are not valid. always interesting but we left half way through! we went back 2 days later! with sis bassett again and finished the restoration. i broke down the authority and taught it to them in a way that theyd be able to understand! we did the cups too, and watched the restoration video!! they got a bcd for march 22! they totally get the whole apostacy and need of a restoration!! hahah everytime jeremiah talks about the authority and having to be ordained etc he does what i showed em. puttin hand on the head. soo cute!!!! then on sunday erica works every other sunday and jeremiah didnt have a ride but didnt ask for one :P so they didnt come this week. next week for sure though!! sis bassett invited them to dinner sunday. so we went too!! the twitchells came also. sooo good! now they know 2 strong solid member families with kids the same age as their kid bralyn! soooo GOOD!! Christas bcd got moved to the march 22 also! so we have 3 bcds we're workin towards. with more on the way!! woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! we are just a little happy thats all ;)

we had zone conference this week. it was awesome! they talked alot about family history. how the missionary work is goin on on the other side too! that us missionaries and the missionaries on the other side need to correlate and work together! cuz their gators can only go so far until their work needs to get done. and it gets done by us, and our living gators! so it was really interesting to think about missionaries on the other side. they need help on the other side and they are recruiting kinda. 13 missionaries have died this year i think they said. 13. to go do the work on the other side!! the gators of the dead are pushin thier livin ancestors to get taught so they all can get the work done! its insane to think about. it all makes sense in my head. its just a HUGE thing and it doesnt come out right. but they are so real! our ansestors, the spirits on the other side. are so. real! just like you and me real!! every member a missionary right? we'll not only help the work on this side but go do it on the other side!

anyway! this week was good. we had trade offs so i went downt to fort walton with sis anderson. that was really fun! i love niceville though. like fer realz were kickin its butt!. the members here are stickin incredible and i dont exactly know how to handle it! we're settin so many things up. like really so much is happenin its kind of awesome. life is still hard. but its gettin better though. valentines day was boss! just sayin. members made it the best!  OH so its kinda weird how people dont think we believe in the bible lol. just kind of fun when you see that they understand that we love the bible. haha they try to bible bash us with things that we believe! oh the joys of rumors and false anti- mormon stuff :)

Live Serve Laugh

LOVE

Sis Milne the great

Have a blessed week yall!

Happy Valentines Day

Hello

well the past few days since last Wednesday have been interesting for sure. we had dinner with 2 elderly women, and I had the funnest time of my life! when we left I was just laughing and thinking... shoo do I belong with old people? maybe so... sweetness party for life! Then on Thursday was my official 1 year mark. and I got sick :P but I worked the whole day until like 730 and then crashed. but that day was awesomely fun! we did our family history booth class thingy, definetly NOT prepared. and not Trained and equipped to do it. shoo. we need to be united in purpose! but it was fun. then we took sis chirsta diviny on a church tour with sis edgington. (sis edgington is absolutely amazing! like I seriously love her to death!) and sis diviny is smart and very practical hahaha she asked questions like "where do yall find a place to buy a font like this?" and this question was after we invited her to be baptized. So let me back up a bit, I had been pondering at how we were doin missionary work. how I was doin. and I realized I had slacked off my boldness, I didn't invite people because then they wouldn't do it and be progressing anymore. I slacked off big time. so I told sis c that we need to step up our game that we need to have no fear! tomorrow on our tour with sis diviney, lets invite her to be baptized! yeah! BAPTISM! don't make that face! baptism! than lets invite everyone to church hard core! no regrets! she agreed. so on the tour we asked sis diviney to be dunked and she said yes! she needs to pray about it and stuff. then she was like, now who is ganna tell diviney (her la husband) lol. not it! seriously though, I realized also how into it I really get. I care about every minor thing with me and sis c. I lean on her and rely on her in ways I shouldn't. cuz it effects me! so im steppin it up personally. I aint a kid no more. I aint no baby missionary no more. now is the time for me to step up and be great. anyway. after our amazing church tour, we went with another member to a new gators house, she let us in. the member really connected with her, Miss Tina. people were cryyin! miss tina was sayin how she has been prayin for something like this to happen to her. she had been prayin for peace!

Ok people of the world who read this: Let me tell ya something. K? This world. earth. today. It aint the end! nope. there is a bigger thing happenin in the world then you know! its time to  tell everyone what they have been longing to hear! now many many people will say no. only because they don't know! they literally don't know what else is out there!! when they learn or hear new info, it pierces the heart and will send em to their knees. The Gospel is needed. Its true. Your spirits need to be taken care of as well as your bodies do. don't neglect your spirits. be kind and gentle to it. its who you are!

no idea if that makes sense.

Thursday I was sick. so I slept most of the day. Saturday we went on splits, I did service at sis beetles house (older injured women, (I touched bras, hairy socks, emptied a portable potty! shoo crazy foolishness)) and sis c and Jamie went out to visit people. it was a good day. Ok so sunday was amazing. I love church. I love this ward. I love the members here. I know I say that about every ward, but there is something here. I really really love it. so many spiritual things have happened and I don't know how to put it into words. I feel the love of the families here and holy rip the work is exploding!

I am feelin better now, my throat just hurts a lil. so im almost healed! haha I bought tissues though, blowin my nose like nothing else matters. lol oh and the funny thing is, sis c has gotten sick. so imma deep clean the house... again!

LOVE
sis Milne

ps. Happy early valentines day! I call Jesus as my Valentines! HA

pps: My mission: to change the game

Wednesday Letter & pictures

So hey yall

Im writing on Wednesday because we did a family history booth, and Mondays were their busiest days. so we just swapped pday till today! just for this one time though. haha it was interesting. life has been so dagum interesting. last Tuesday we went to the dr for sis C. it was in Pensacola! so we got to have a road trip! woop woop! hahah it was hailing and sleeting. hahah frozen rain. the whole time! icicles everywhere! it was getting below freezing over here yall! cra cra ;) but we got there and back safely! so the hospital we went to was a Baptist hospital, funny to see peoples faces when they saw our name tags! when we checked in, I sat down and sis C went to the bathroom. all the nurses gathered together and started whisperin about us lol "the Mormon missionary" and that's all I could hear, I don't know if they  knew I could hear em. hahahah anyway! sis C goes in. im readin JtC and tryin to stay awake! haha (I was sittin on a giant comfy chair) then I was called in lol. so I go in and the dr asked me if I have seen a difference in her behavior from 6 months ago till now. I said that I had only known her 7 weeks. he sat there for a minute and asked me the same question again. I said no, she seems the same the whole 7 weeks we've been together. then the dr who was grumpy! lectured both of us for another 20 mins on sis Cs condition. which we already knew. hahaha we left, sis c was angry at grumpy dr. we got krispy kreme because it was close by! got lots of amazing donuts YUMM! lol then later that week we were at our gators house sis diviny for dinner. and told her the story and she is an attorney, so what she says sounds doctrine. lol she said that I should have said. "yeah she was different. She was BLACK! full on black! with a big ____ afro!!" hahahhaa we cried laughing so hard!! Sis Diviny is doing well! she is goin on a church tour tomorrow! woop woop! she is readin Bom and keeps inviting us over haha her husband who is LA, been through the temple, baptized all his kids. he is a little tougher man. but he loves sis c. lol

on Wednesday we were Frozen inside! litereally. we were told to stay inside by pres. lol we were inside forever!!!!!  till like 2! ( I took a long nap hurray) it froze here in florida! it got below freezing when it rained and everything froze. the whole town shut down! everyone was instructed to stay inside. school and work were canceled. we went outside onto the street. not a living soul! the roads were thick with black ice and frozen "snow". it was so cold! hahahaha crazy!!!!!! slowly our zls told us things we could do. like walk short distances. than a few more hours later, we could get rides from members shorter distances hahahaha awesome! we just walked lol  then on Thursday. everything was still shut down but we were allowed to go out. that was Thursday and so we weekly planned till 2 anyway! lol. I love the Bradley family and the edgington family! there are just certain families in every area you serve in that you just Bond with! and its a deeply rooted love! ahh!

Thursday we had interviews with pres. that was good. lol then we taught more of our gators. our gator pool is growin  bigger. we just need em to get progressin faster! no fear. no regrets. need to implement that more. Monday we went out to eat with gpa howell. and he was introducing us to our young man waiter! but the way he did it was like a date! hahah "young man do you know who these young ladies are?? well you need to!" umm. awkward! we just sat there! I talked, tryin to smooth over the awkwardness. lol funy! gpa howell is on a dating sight so we get to hear about it.  yesterday was Zone training. our elders took the car and left us. so we bike over there :P lol love our elders though I really do! they are nice! we were in the car and it hit me. I was the oldest person there! and that is weird.. but zt went well didn't get into trouble again! hurray! and that's about it. lots of eye openin experiences lol I love John ch 9. like it has to be one of my fav chapters ever. and that Alma 51:17 is pretty intense!

LOVE YALL!

O this week was so weird! like seriously! i dont even know what to say about this week. transfers happened. we're still here, the new elder is elder smellie. yes smellie haha so we say smiley to be safe. we had some amazing lessons this week! like powerpact! but they were few and far between. we're out of miles! so we're askin for rides right and left, its hard though when we dont have anywhere set we have to be! ahhh!! hahaha.

So there is a LA family the kennedys who we got to go see. we set up an apt and they were there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so happy!! hahah they are amazing!! just bro and sis Kennedy live at home, but we are doin an experiment with em. where we teach em like gators for 3-6 weeks, rekindle the fire of the gospel inside and they were totaly down for it! woohoo!!! hahaha. oh my i love them! sis Kennedy gave us coloring books hahaha she loves to color. sweetness coloring party!! ive officially caught up on my sleep i think. i dont know where it had gone but now im semi normal. well as normal as i can get i think. im still tired hahaha i feel like that it has gotten easier the longer ive been doin it, but still it is exhausting!! one of the elders in my district goes home the same time as i do, so we talk about stuff after mission life (which'll never happen cuz i aint comin home) like i will definetly sleep in! woohoo! ok ewe gross lets not talk about this foolishness!

Me and sis Cooper are trudging on. There was a quote that said

i was thinkin about this last night, there are soo many members here that i fur real love! missionary work is hard, no one to teach, no one keeps apts, dont do commitments, but the members are amazing! so amazing! and then you remember the amamzing moments, when people show up at church, and when they keep commitments, baptism, member present, spiritual thickness etc,. the pros out weigh the cons! but i really love people out here! i never fully understood when RMs would say they loved the people. like how can you love the people?!?! but when you know soo many souls and you get to know them. soo many souls make people! and i love them!! shoo life is amazing with love in it!!! niceville is aweomse! boggy beyou, is what it used to be called! haha fish head is a born n raised nicevilliean, hahaha
