Twist and shout March 14, 2017

This week was a really good one and I am sad it will be over and that

this transfer will soon be over too because Sister Dimond rules. She

has really helped me a lot and she is just a stellar missionary.

Bomb.com We talked about not being companions anymore and it was

really corny and dramatic and we cried and I just love her. Officially

everyone except two people have been dropped in our area Book and so

we have been working hard and we're able to find a lot of new

potential people which I am excited about!! I love how hard Sister

Dimond works and how much fun we have too. This last week with her is

going to be SICK.

The weather has been crazy. This morning we woke up to 5 inches of

snow! But on Tuesday there was a tornado.. but the little dead boy of

Galesburg prevailed and nothing happened to our town. The night of the

tornado both Sister Dimond and I woke up about 11:30 from all the wind

and lightning that was happening and I was super tired so I just laid

there for a really long time. Then I decided to go look and see what

it looked like outside and in the process of getting up I knocked the

phone over and the screen lit up and it said we had 5 MISSED CALLS.

And they were from our zone leaders and we had s bunch of ominous text

from them as well. So we text them back asking what is going on and

all they text back is "seek shelter NOW" so I tell Sister Dimond and

she shoots out of her bed and is grabbing things and we start to get

ready to go to the basement. THEN the city tornado sirens start going

off and Sister Dimond is DYING and drops everything and just yells "we

have GOT to go" as she leaves the apartment 😂. Storms are NOT her

thing. So I catch up with her and we run down to the basement and call

the zone leaders and they kindly let us know we are in the worst part

of the storm and to sit tight. So we stayed there and waited for the

storm to pass and it sounded insane outside. And then the next morning

we go outside and nothing was wrong. With anything. Sister Dimond was

so mad hahahaha. Sometimes that happens in life though. In the moment

and in your brain sometimes you are freaking out and thinking

something is terrible and making it this big huge deal and then when

the moment is over you realize it wasn't actually that bad. That

pretty much has summed up my time on a mission so far hahaha

That's all for this week

Sister Madsen

P.s. I am pretty sure I accidentally created a situation where we are

going to be eating catfish at a members home in the near future. Pray

for me.

Exchanges happened

And Sister Dimond and I realized we had never taken a selfie at the Walmart
