Hello!
First of all, we had a great week of missionary work! A woman we're teaching came to church with us for the first time in awhile, and she's wanting to be more involved and get baptized!
Transfer calls were on Saturday and I'm staying in good ol' Milford! So I'll be here at least 6 months of my mission 🤷♀️ But my district is changing up a bunch (One of my included pictures is our last official district photo. The one with the Sister in the cheetah print), and my old MTC companion Sister Durland is going to be serving in the Montgomery ward that shares a church building with me so I'll see her all the time!
Second of all, I had the best birthday week. Thank you to all of you who have been wishing me a happy birthday 
It was well celebrated. If I counted correctly, I had 5 birthday dinners this week and 4 birthday cakes 
1. Our Relief Society President let me use their special Happy Birthday plate and gave me cheesecake a couple days before my birthday (Picture included below).
2. Our neighbor we're teaching brought us to lunch the day before my birthday.
3. Another member's daughter made me a cake for lunch on my birthday.
4. Dinner on my birthday was spent going to a place called Frisch's that I was given a gift card for. So we went with our district to celebrate (Picture included below. It's the one of us at the table with menus)
And finally, the best one...
Today I had the real celebration of going to CARRABBA'S 
Which, for those of you who don't know, is my absolute favorite restaurant back home. (Picture included with us and our food) We went with the Montgomery Elders and Sisters because they're my old district and I love them. And Elder Bingham goes home tomorrow so we had to celebrate for him too (He's the one right behind me in the blue sweater in one of the pictures. Also, not pictured, but throwback to the time when he was my district leader and I sent home a district photo picture of us all with hymn books for how many transfers we had left and he only had two, and now he's leaving and we never thought the day would actually come).
When Sister Hines and I showed up at Carrabba's we pulled in to see the Elders holding a birthday balloon for me that said 50 on it because they just found it somewhere... so that's the explanation for one of the pictures.
And then I also included a selfie of me and Sister Hines because why not.
It's been a great week and I love you all and your birthday wishes!
Love,
Sister Bliss
