Week 7: Servin in Sutherlin

-

 Hey everyone!


The weeks are starting to feel so short that I literally can't remember half the things I did but thats ok, I'm glad things are moving fast. 

This week was my first zone conference which was super fun! I love hanging out with all the elders because when you live with 3 other girls....you need a break lol. Anyways we had a great time and I got to see our President and meet his wife in person which was cool. We went to Cooper Creek after conference and I filmed my story for the stake page so that should be coming out in a few weeks do keep your eyes peeled. It was super funny because we weren't able to wash out car the day before ZC so me and Sister Nuttall got up bright and early, got ready, and headed to the car wash. We didn't want to ruin our hair so we wore some handy shower caps to protect from the Oregon frizz that's inevitable. 

I also had my first exchange this week which was a blast. I brought Sister Fawson, one of our sweet STLs back to Sutherlin and we had a lot of fun together. Its always nice to switch things up so I was grateful we were able to do that. 

Yesterday was so busy but I am just glad we have enough things to do. We did our usual two sacraments, missionary correlation, and taught our weekly lesson with Sophie who is in the ward and gets baptized this month. I was able to zoom in and teach young women's for my ward back at home which was super cool. After that us missionaries were able to talk in the Sutherlin ward Christmas devotional and that was great too. 

Later last night we had to do the dreaded challenge our zone arranged to we can win back our belt that has President Weekes face on it. Our social media sisters are holding a competition each week for what companionship contributes the most content and whoever has the most points wins the belt. We did the bonus challenge last night which was singing Baby Its Cold Outside while taking a cold shower in our proselyting clothes, while eating something spicy or something cold. Good times.

Well, I think about you guys all the time and hope everything is going great! I love you all and hope you are doing Light the World.

XOXO

  Hi guys! Hope you guys all had a great week! Our week was so busy but if was nice because we got so much done. I am really starting to get in a groove of missionary work to the point where I hope I get to train next transfer because I think it would be a blast! We are keeping busy with tons of service and member lessons which is good! Its nice to get out of the apartment and feel useful.  Highlights of the week! 1. We got to have interviews with President. He probably thinks I'm bonkers but he was laughing the whole time so I think thats a good sign hehe 2. We got to teach a new person David! He is super cool and really nice so we are hoping to continue our lessons.  3. We got to do a tour of the Laie temple with our friend Jeff. He has COVID and stage 4 cancer so he's very quarantined right now but he absolutely loved it.  4. We got to walk Sadie and Candy again and their owner made us charm bracelets. She's very much a retired hippy because she says groovy and ra...

Heyy everyone! This was another really good week. I can't remember half the things we did but that just means we stayed busy :) I finally feel like I'm getting into the groove of things and we are getting a ton of new missionaries next transfer so I'm hoping I will be able to train soon.  Highlights this week!! 1. We served at Butte Creek Mill in Eagle Point with the zone which is a historic mill that burned down.  2. Sister Hill filmed a video story so we got to hang out with the social media elders again. They are super fun to be around and they were able to join our member lesson yesterday.  3. We didn't get enough members to share posts this week so we had to brush our teeth with flour, salt, and pepper as punishment. It was gross but not as bad as eating the half cup of mayo.  4. We played volleyball with the STLs this morning!!! Always a good time  5. I made 14 loaves of rosemary bread this week and we took it to some ward members and it was great to see e...
