Adri Goes to Cleveland

The district and twinner clothes Hello Everyone! First things first, HAPPY PIONEER DAY! We didn't do anything here, but it was nice to think that people were celebrating at home :)  Those floats in the parade are amazing! Also that bike ride sounds so fun! I wanna go on bike rides with you all after I get home. Was it difficult? Where was it at? Have you been to Yellowstone at all?  I love thinking about Denny's hahaha! There is one on the main road here in Hermitage and every time we drive or walk by all I can think is, "I hate eggs." hahahahah!! I love that memory!! Also I literally laughed out loud as I read that story about Buddy and the earwigs! YUCK! We were talking to our investigator David this last week and we were talking about bugs and I said that I think earwigs are the worst bugs ever to exist and he didn't know what they were. I thought there would be loads of them here because there are loads or corn! But I am glad that there isn...

I have received so many kisses on the cheeks while I've been out. I do not appreciate it at all. I'm gonna start telling people I only want handshakes because eww!  Let me tell you all about Denny. Denny is an older man in our apartment building. He is strange and has no friends and he gave me a wet sloppy kiss on the cheek and it.was sick! So we avoid Denny now. He's moving soon and I'm really glad. I mean we're still nice, but I also don't wanna talk to him because he's weird, but I try to be Christlike. :) We ran into him when we were going to our car and he saw that we were leaving so he said, "Hey, you can't leave without a kiss!" So Sister Reddish hurried and got in the car but I had to stay and back her out because I'm co-driver. So he walks over to me and,while I glared at Sister Reddish for leaving me behind, he gave me an unwanted kiss on the cheek. Denny is weird and I don't really like him... also Sister Redd...

Hello! So to start out this email I just wanted to clarify by stating that I am in the western part of PA.. I think I've been saying that I was in the eastern part because whenever I say it out loud I say eastern so I just wanted to clarify :) Anywho.. This week was pretty dang cool! Not necessarily for the work that we did but some cool things happened! We have just been finding and such and we're hoping for good things to happen. But one awesome thing that happened this week was  on Thursday  we had a mission conference is Kirtland because President Uchtdorf came and spoke to us! I couldn't tell you last week because we were asked not to, but I really wanted to! It was super awesome! We drove to Kirtland with the STLs and so that was fun and then we all met at the Kirtland Stake Center and we got a picture with President Uchtdorf, his wife, their daughter, and her son. He is serving a mission soon so they took him on a trip to see the church history sites and on...

This is an excerpt from an email that was sent from Sister Reddish, Adrienne's trainer, the week after Adri arrived. Sister Reddish's bishop mentioned that he was reading a missionary email while working at the hospital. He was talking to Sister Hill that lives in our ward. Sister Hill recognized Adrienne in the pictures and had the email sent to us. It says such nice things about Adri and I (her mom) wanted her to see it after she returns and we print the blog into a book. The pictures are also from Sis. Reddish. Sister Sarah Reddish with her first greenie, Sister Green (on the right of Sarah), Sister Green's "greenie" and that missionary's new "greenie" Sister Reddish is a great grandma. Sarah's newest "greenie" Sister Grant is to the left of Sister Grant. Whew. #2 Sister Reddish and Sister Grant #3 Got caught in the rain  Sister Reddish wrote: "Quote of the day:  1.) "Sister Grant, you will b...

Dear Family, HAPPY LATE 4TH OF JULY! To answer some questions, we email from the local library in Sharon :) We also do a lot of lessons here because peoples' houses are disgusting.. yuck. I think I'm eating enough! Yeah! I eat a lot of fruit and stuff! One time this lady made eggplant parmesan. It was yucky but i sucked it down. FIREFLIES ARE AWESOME! They weren't how I expected them to be.. They don't stay lit as long as I thought. Everyone and their dog has a dog.. And they're all really gross. Like people just don't take care of them. It's kind of ruining dogs for me :( but I still love Buddy!   I'm glad Katy did okay! i'M SO PROUD OF HER!  So this week started out pretty lame, but all in all it was a good week! Our investigator who was about to be baptized dropped us :( but it's all okay! We're mostly just searching for new investigators.  It was a rough day but we're doing well now! Joshua didn't show up to his int...

Hello there friends! This week was good! I can't really remember what happened. I should start writing myself notes so I know what to say. Anyway I'll try my best! We did service for a guy names David this week! IT WAS SO FUN!! We helped him move wood and piled his wood. It was great to wear a t-shirt and jeans! David has been getting the lessons for like forever now but lately he hasn't been asked commitments or anything so we think that he thinks meeting with the missionaries is just like hanging out, but Sister Reddish and I are gonna change that. We had asked him the week before to read the intro to the Book of Mormon and we were gonna ask him if he thought it was true like he used to, but we didn't ever end up making it to a lesson haha. David likes to talk a lot - like A LOT. Everyone in Ohio/PA likes to talk a lot but David is a special case. He reminds me of someone from home so I love to see him! He is one of my favorite people I've met probably! We...

I'm finally in the Ohio Cleveland Mission!! I flew in last Tuesday afternoon. We went to the mission home and met President and Sister Brown. They're so sweet, but I'm intimidated my them ... but its okay! Everyone says they're awesome! I believe them! We ate a delicious dinner there and then we had interviews with President Brown and a testimony meeting and then we went to bed early. It was so nice to go to bed because I woke up at  2:30  that morning.  The next morning we got up early and went to Kirtland. It was such an amazing experience to go there. Did you know that Kirtland has been said that it will be lifted up again? The Lord said that it would be lifted up again after having a scourge placed on it and stuff, but that's why I'm here! It is to bring the people in the Land of Kirtland to Christ! It's so awesome! So many cool things have happened here and I'm honored to be here! We toured the temple and stood where Jesus Christ, Heavenly Fath...
