Week 10: Me and Sister Hill in Gold Hill

-

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 isn't since we all know I love to talk lol. She is from Herriman, UT and was originally assigned to Rosario. Argentina. I am really having to dip into my knowledge from my 3 years of spanish since she likes to have someone to talk to so she can practice. She is super sweet and I think it is going to be a really good transfer!

Another really cool thing that happened this week was I was able to teach my first investigator lesson! It was so good and he is what us missionaries call ELECT! His name is Andrew and he is a really sweet guy and we actually got him on date for baptism since he was being taught by other missionaries before he moved. We shared the scripture 2 Nephi 31:20 and I KID YOU NOT he straight up said "wow I want to endure to the end. This verse really touched me and has shown me that The Book of Mormon is the word of God." For real though I almost started to cry, the Spirit was so strong. Pray that he will continue to progress and stick to his date!

I miss you all a lot and think about you everyday! Remember to pray and read your scriptures! 

Love you guys!

  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...
