Gippy and Skippy

Hey y'all! 

Let me tell you, this transfer has been one heck of a ride! Sister Briscoe sprained her right ankle last week! So now we're gippy and skippy. At least we have a set of working legs together! 

I got my MRI results and there's no fracture or tear. Just a lot of fluid built up. I might have to go get some shots for the pain, but it looks like I'll be in the brace another 60 days. Hey, at least I can walk! 

We got a new investigator, Taio! Last transfer, he randomly walked into church and said he looked us up online. He'll come and stay for the first hour, but we finally got him to stay all 3 hours! We haven't had an official lesson with him, but we taught the first lesson in Gospel Principles. 

We had a zone activity today! Zone Olympics! We participated as much as possible. I did win an activity where we had to eat a doughnut off a string blindfolded! 

I know the Lord is in all things. Sometimes stuff happens that we don't understand, but He has a purpose. 

Have a great week! Love and miss y'all!

This last picture was on the California Arcadia Mission Facebook page. It was Hermana Buer's birthday. "Thanks to all the missionaries that surprised my daughter, Hermana Kirsten Buer with silly string, balloons, a happy birthday sign and cake at the end of their zone activity today. She loved it! FYI, she is serving in El Monte."

Mother's Day and Taste Testing

Hey y'all!

Hope all the moms out there had a wonderful Mother's Day! It was so awesome to see my mom! 

And the rest of my family :) Next time, it'll be Christmas!

It's been a little rough with the teaching aspect. Hopefully we'll keep working on finding and the Lord 

will somehow bless this area! Having faith and working hard is all we can do as missionaries. 

Pam and Steph are doing awesome though! They read so much from the Book of Mormon this past week! 

Ah, I'm so proud of them! Alicia is doing awesome too! She got a calling! Activity Day's leader! 

This is what makes missionary work worth it. 

The taste testing thing is from district meeting this past week. It was an activity that was supposed to represent 

how investigators feel when they try commitments for the first time. We played with another district. One person 

from each district took turns guessing what food they were tasting. I got it just about every time! The only one 

I didn't get was In&Out sauce. But, I think I have a good enough reason :P The one that I got in .27 seconds was 

BBQ sauce. Everyone laughed :) It was a fun activity. 

Sorry I forgot my camera at home, so no pictures this week! :( I'll have twice as much next week!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week! Y'all are awesome! Thank you for the thoughts and prayers

Love,

Sister Sorensen

Mom here now. Mother's Day was AMAZING! Kenzie, errr.... Sister Sorensen looked very happy. Her smiling face and 

mannerisms made my day!!!

She told me that she needs an MRI of her ankle. Between insurance and me not know anything about what doctor

was ordering, which imaging center she could go to and everything, it took me over an hour to get scheduled. BUT, 

and this is a huge but, EVERYONE was very kind and understanding of my lack of knowledge and the mission rules.

For that I am extremely grateful.

So, the MRI is scheduled for Thursday. I'm hoping to get answers but also praying she won't have to come home.

MUCH LOVE!!!!

Cats and Teeth

Hey y'all! 

This transfer has been an adventure. We've been all over the place! Sis Briscoe has a fake tooth and it FELL OFF! I screamed so loud! But she's all good now. We went to the dentist and all is well. Now I get to go to the doctor again about my foot! Hopefully it'll be alright. Keep the prayers coming! I really appreciate it! 

So, we've been trying to do a lot more finding. We have great Investigators though! Every Friday we go to the street fair here. It's really awesome! Sometimes we get a few people who like to Bible bash, but everyone's a child of God. I'll send some pictures next week! 

The Napotniks have been super busy. So has Maggie. Melody is still rocking! Satan kinda stinks sometimes, but faith in Christ triumphs every single time. 

A big pick me up was this cute little cat who kind of followed us a few yards. It was super friendly! It was really rainy this weekend and I'm not used to cold weather anymore! Notice my Idaho coat :P we named him Jeffrey. 

Hope y'all have a great week! Shout out to the best mom ever! I know that mothers are so special and they have a great influence on people! Love y'all!

"It's all of Sister Briscoe and I's jokes. I want to look back and just laugh :P"

OK folks, so there you have it! End of disclaimer!***

Hey y'all! 

It's been an amazing week. Melody accepted baptism for around the 20th! We're do excited for her! John Napotnik 

is getting there, and we have hope for Maggie :)  the Lord is truly working in Monrovia! 

Sister Briscoe and I are still getting along reallyyyyyy well! I love this girl too much! 

(Not that I didn't love my other companions) 

Slick Sharkisha is gone... Another elder got an injury and he needed the car.  I'm sure the Lord is going to be there 

with us. Luckily, there are so many people here who love and care for me and Sis Briscoe. 

Keep going y'all! The Lord is there with us ALWAYS. This life isn't supposed to be easy. There is no growth in the 

comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone. The Atonement is the way we get through it. Love y'all! 

Love,
