Day in the Life- Mini Missionary!

So during my February break, I had the opportunity to go 3rd leg with Sister Hayes and Sister Sagers. They are wonderful missionaries in my ward. So first thing is that I was supposed to go with them on Saturday after stake choir practice and I was going to get up at 6:30 but definitely slept in since I worked on Friday night though, or I was hanging out with people can't quite remember ahaha. Anyways, so after a pretty successful choir practice we went and knocked on some doors of less active members together and made some phone calls regarding a baptism going on that day and stake conference the next day.  I even made a phone call myself to someone I knew but they never replied unfortunately and so it didn't go so well. But I tried.  Next we went to a family's house to do service.  We helped to take down Christmas decorations and just be there to help out and that was nice.  We also had some delicious homemade honey toast and some delish tea. After the service we went to an appointment to teach a lesson.  We watched the mormon message video of President Thomas S. Monson talking about standing alone.  It showed the military situation where everyone of many different sects are ordered to go worship but the mormon religion was not included in the list.  I even contributed to the lesson by reading Romans 1: 18 I am not ashamed of the gospel.  It was really cool being able to be there in a teaching experience.  After that I FINALLY got some lunch.  I was starving by that time! I had some leftover noodles in the fridge but I was actually so excited that I didn't even eat that much.  During the lunch break, I did some bible trivia and talked about families with Sister Hayes and Sister Sagers did sparkly origami.  Before we left though, I left a whole bunch of sticky notes for them to find later. I honestly just adore and admire sister missionaries so much! We then headed over for a baptism at 3:00 and I ended up playing the piano for it so I had another opportunity for service.  I headed home to go babysitting but it was pretty cool how much I got to do in one short day. Especially since that was a slow day for them!
