confused
about how THAT happened.......
but
anyways. it's been another great week family!! i'm excited about it!!
HAHA
i have to skip ahead and tell you something that happened saturday night........ we were
teaching my friends d & a, and we invited them to church and I was like
"yeah! i'm excited about it!" and then ".... you don't seem that
excited about it." hahaha. sister blood laughs at me. so did my friends
and the member friend we brought haha. update: they did not come to church.
next week for sure. we're gonna get them pumped up with the Spirit of the Book
of Mormon :) :) :) :) :)
but
ANYWAYS. i love being a missionary now again & forever :) :) tuesday we ate
dinner with my friends who served a mission in romania and they reminded me of
gramma & grampa condie :) :) :)
wednesday
i found a perfect Christmas scripture...... one month too late......... (Alma
7:7!)
i
learned that high fives = my kryptonite.
i
learned that "although it sometimes appears otherwise, sin always leads
to unhappiness." (pmg 50)
i
learned that o my father can be sung to the tune of come thou fount and that i
love it that way.
i
remembered that i want that song sung at my funeral and NEVER AGAIN on father's
day....
i
learned that when you tell people your favorite things, they give them to you.
for example, once upon a teaching appointment (plan of salvation):
sister proffit: "Heavenly Father knows everything about me! He knows my favorite candy, He knows --"
sister proffit: "Heavenly Father knows everything about me! He knows my favorite candy, He knows --"
friend:
"what's your favorite candy?"
me (without thinking): "peanut m&ms."
me (without thinking): "peanut m&ms."
and
then at the end of the lesson....... we're saying goodbye to his wife and he
comes down the stairs with an ENORMOUS BABY-SIZED BAG OF PEANUT M&MS!!!!
{see attached pictures} :) :) :)
soooooooo
that happened. hahaha. :) :)
also,
we called a referral and they weren't interested but they asked my name and i
said sister proffit and they said "oh i see... that's not a name, that's a
title..." "ummm no proffit is my last name........" hahaha :) :)
also,
tonight we're having dinner with an indian man who was a hq referral and we've
never met him but he INSISTED.... like WOULD. NOT. TAKE. NO. for an answer on
feeding us........... so that's happening. hahaha we've been so confused. also
yesterday he texted to ask us if we were roman catholic. friend, i feel that
you do not understand what is going on. i feel that you think i am a nun.
hahahaha.
speaking
of which, once upon a contacting time i knocked on a friend's door and heard
"that says "sister"! she's a nun, let her in." ummmmmm
no....... but i took advantage of it anyways hahaha it was the nicest old lady
ever and her caretaker (who thought we were nuns....) my sweet friend a read my
nametag and then said ever so nicely, "we're lutheran, may i please ask
you not to waste your name with me?" hahaha a, you are so sweet. she was
so excited to pray with us. we will be going back to find my less-active friend
k who lives there but wasn't there. and to pray with arlene again hahaha.
#notanun #thatsokay :) :) :)
ps
keep us in your prayers! satan is a real thing and he's annoying. but we're
conquering him. thanks to my BFF & Savior & Redeemer Jesus Christ :) :)
:)
also
on wednesday we got to teach o about the word of wisdom and i love her :)
quote
from wednesday night planning session
sis.
p: "goal for tomorrow: take a shower."
Sis
b: "... that was your goal yesterday."
sis
p: "..... pmg 146?"

#itsaproblembutitsnotcauseiloveit :) :) :)
also
on thursday we decided on a missionary theme song. "WE GON' FIND YOU."
:) :) :)
also
on thursday we went to starbucks (again.) conversation that ensued when we both
ordered steamers:
barista:
"don't you guys like espressos?"
both
of us in kind of creepy unison: "we don't drink coffee."
"......"
hahaha
:) :)
also,
question. What do y'all think I do all day??????? hahaha I'm REALLY curious so
please actually answer this question to me :) :) :) :)
FRIDAY WAS A GREAT DAY
BECAUSE I GOT TO GO ON EXCHANGES WITH MILWAUKEE YSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaand
i decided that i love milwaukee. i kind of think i was meant to serve there. or
at least go on more exchanges there. and i love sister hurst to the max :) :)
quote from sister hurst at 10:20: "obedience!" (as she flys towards the bedroom in a
superhero pose) hahahhaahahahhahahaha
first
of all, we had fantastic studies. i love preach my gospel and the Book of
Mormon forever :) :)
second
of all, i love sister hurst. this was our 4th exchange together!! i was with
her on her first exchange ever in fond du lac!! almost a YEAR AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so it was fun to see how much we've both changed. especially cause back then we
both had NO IDEA how to talk to people.......... and then on friday we walked the streets
of milwaukee and talked with EVERYONE and had an awesome time :) :) also, it
was snowing. perfect for street contacting :) :) actually it was really great
though. we went down to UW-M to get lunch and it reminded me of UW kind of
except it was snowing haha. and then we talked with everyone. and ate delicious
thai food. and it was a wonderful wonderful time of miracles that i loved :) :)
and i got to talk to some hipsters and tell them that their ankles looked cold.
#goodtimes :) and THEN we went to the hood and there were even sirens in the
background and i loved it hahaha. and we had LEGIT GOOD LESSONS totally full of
the Spirit (well obviously, we were talking about Christ and reading from the
Book of Mormon and we were all just feelin' it...) :) :) AND i got to go to the
17th floor of a building in milwaukee and i loved it. and i had weird rock de
ja vu with a picture on the wall. it was a photo of a rock and i SWEAR i'd seen
it before. or dreamed about it. it was weird. but it's fine. :) :)
also
my knees froze. should've worn a warmer skirt. :)
and
it snowed all day long and fyi it is still snowing. #itsfine.
also
i love the painting of Moroni at the end of the Book of Mormon pictures and we
totally used it to teach a legit great lesson in the church because oh let me
tell you about this miracle. so we played chair soccer in the church gym for
exercise and as we were leaving sis hurst walked up to this guy and asked him
if we could teach him later in the day and i thought he was a member since he
was, you know, in the church, but turns out he was NOT a member, he was
remodeling the church haha. but he was down to meet with us so we set it up for
subway at noon but then he texted and was like "actually can yall come
here i won't be able to get away" and we were like uhhhhhhh cause we're
not allowed to meet just us and a guy (obviously.) so we decided to be obedient
even though it would be WAY easy to justify it cause it was IN THE CHURCH. but
we didn't. we called a member and set it up for 4:15. AND IT TURNED OUT TO
BE WAY MORE AMAZING THAN GOING TO SUBWAY obviously because the Lord always
blesses us when we are obedient :) :) :) :) :) anyways, we taught him IN THE
CHURCH, WITH A MEMBER, WITH a picture of Moroni burying the plates staring him
down. We had him look at the picture and he was just rapt. Is he reading the
Book of Mormon? YES. is he finna pray about it? YES. is he finna get BAPTIZED
when he knows that it's true?? YES YES YES and imma tell you what family, there
is NOTHING ON EARTH like feeling the Spirit and helping other friends to feel
it too. NOTHING LIKE IT, i tell you. #bestbestbest :) :) alsoooooooo fun fact,
did you know that the gift of the Holy Ghost is a foretaste of eternal joy and
a promise of eternal life?????????????? #yesyesyes #everybodyneedsthis
#pmggoodness :) :) :) #loveit
okay.
so that was milwaukee. i loved it. OH the miracles just keep comin. so the
MEMBER who came with us SERVED IN THE FORT WORTH TEXAS MISSION IN WACO DENTON
& ARLINGTON. so she took a picture of us and sent it to some members there
to show to nathan. how cool is that. :) :) and then she took us out to dinner
at the most fantastic place in a mall in milwaukee where you cant be there
alone if you're under 18 hahaha. #loveit :) :) :) and it was most fantastic and
i loved it. i love making friends!! i love milwaukee ysa!! all the friends!!
never ends!!! #rhymetime #allthetime :) :)
okay

missionary tip of the day from h n, age 16: he puts a Book of Mormon on the
passenger seat of his car so that his friends have to look at it hahhaaha #whateverworks
#everyhonorablemeans ;)
ALSO
I LOVE O AND I LOVE J M. we had a lesson with Oa in the M's house and i just
love them. and, guess what, we talked about the Atonement from 3 Ne 9 &
Alma 11:40 and Mosiah 18:26 (because it's my new
favorite) and i loved it, obviously, because it's true and i love feeling
the Spirit testify to me over & over & over again that is is true. i
love it. never never never getting tired of it. it is true. :) :) :) :) :)
:) :) :) :) LOVE IT.
also,
tonight we're eating two dinners, thank you j the indian man who will be
getting baptized (probably.) #thisiswhyimfat.

can testify with conviction that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ really
does bless families. the gospel helps families to be united now and in
eternity :) :) :) pmg ch 1. it's the greatest everrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i love this

sister
cecelia proffit :) :) :)
oh
& hey! turns out you can watch joseph smith: prophet of the restoration on
hulu now! hooray!
also,
sister blood and i have turned our favorite quotes from the restoration movie
(the 20 minute missionary one that you guys should totally watch b/c it's
GREAT) into hashtegs because we WISH that there was missionary twitter because
that would be hilarious. #statesideproblems #bewareofprideboy
#youreternalsoulisatstake
:)
:)
#loveyoubye
:)
also, i vote we have a secret family mormon.org
keyword on our profiles (because mormon.org is like the only fun missionary
website......). "team proffit". then when you search "team
proffit" on mormon.org, our whole family would come up :) :)
okay? okay. :)
