  Helllooo!!! It was another good week!! We had a lot to do and it was just overall a super busy week! We had a lot of miracles this week and did a lot of service which is fun!  Highlights!!: 1. We had zone conference on Wednesday which is super fun. Its always good to be with all the other missionaries and to see President and Sister Weekes. It was in Grants Pass which is super pretty! 2. We went to Jaspers and got the Jiffy which is a burger that has peanut butter, jelly, bacon, and provolone. It was divine.  3. We got to go the pear farm again...but the Sisters got stuck with scrubbing floors  4. We got to help film Sister Thueson's (Bishop's wife) video and it was super fun to hangout with the social media elders.  5. We played volleyball at mutual with the young women and I may or may not have gone easy on them. (Hint: I didn't hehe) 6. We got to walk a dog!!! His name is Winston and he's so sweet.  7. We got to paint a fence. I felt like I was in Kara...

  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...

Hey everyone! Well my first week here in Gold Hill was pretty dang cool! I miss Sister Nuttal and Sutherlin but I know this is where I am supposed to be. On Tuesday, I got on the transfer van and Sister Hill picked me up in Medford. I am in the Central Point zone but it is essentially in Medford which is so nice because we have In n Out, Chick fil a, Target, Trader Joe's, and so much more. Its the best but I hope my MSF will survive. Our church building is right next to the temple which is super cool BUT SPEAKING OF TEMPLES...literally the day I got here, we were able to do an endowment session with 2 girls from our ward and it was so cool. It is sooo much better the second time and a lot less stressful. I was so surprised but it was such a cool experience since I thought I would probably go my whole mission without being able to go again.  Things with Sister Hill are going good! I would say it is quieter with just the two of us but it probably is...

 Hi everyone!!! What a fun week. We did a ton of good stuff and I had a good Christmas and hope you guys did too! My Facebook is still hacked so I think I'm just going to make a new one at this point so please accept my friend requests 🤩 Anyways I'm getting transferred to the Central Point zone and I'm pretty sad about leaving Sutherlin and Sis Nuttall but I know that is where the Lord needs me so I'll suck it up. If I'm being honest COVID missionary life is so hard and there's not a lot of success and teaching where I'm at so I'm hoping that this new area will bring new opportunities for me.  Ok today was such an adventure and I hope my mission president never reads this because he would be so mad lol but anyways we decided to drive the 65 miles to Toketee falls and it was sooo pretty. Its so beautiful here in Oregon and I know I got my call here for a reason because man it is my favorite type of scenery out here. Moving on so we got lost a little bit ...

  Hey guys! The days are going by so fast that when I sit down to write these emails I can't even remember what I did lol. Anyways, this was a really good week. We did a lot of fun stuff but I have to say the highlight of the week was......wait for it....MY FACEBOOK GOT HACKED!!! jk that actually is terrible and has been really horrible to deal with so please pray that I can get my account back :')  Ok real fast here are some highlights this week: 1. We got to serve at the Huntsacher's greenhouse and they made the best spaghetti I have ever had with ingredients they grew themselves.  2. We got to do a free hot chocolate stand with the zone and pass it out at a grocery store.  3. We got to do an escape room that is run by a family in our ward and we actually set the record time for it. 4. I got to pet a cow with dwarfism named Annie and she gave me cow kisses which were pretty gross but thats ok.  5. Not tryna brag or anything but I am absolutely killing New Miss...
