Week 16: good week good service

-

 Hi everyone!!

This has been another good week! Its so crazy that I'm already on my 3rd transfer. I made the goal at the beginning of my mission to be honest in my emails so I'm going to do that. I have been struggling a lot recently and its been really hard. The mission is not easy and it takes a toll on you so I've been experiencing that first hand. I finally met with family services and it was really good to talk to someone. Im really grateful for all the people out here in Oregon that are helping me along the way and helping me to be the best missionary I can be. 

Highlights this week!!:
1. We got to help administer vaccines and it was really awesome! 
2. We got to walk more dogs! I love Linda's dogs they are the sweetest German shepards. 
3. We were able to help at the Medford food project and helped package all the donated food. 
4. I got to talk in church! Poor bro spencer forgot to schedule speakers so we were able to help him out last minute. 
5. District Council!! We have a new district and its either going to be really fun or really weird. Not sure yet haha. 
5. We heart attacked some widows in the ward yesterday for Valentines day. It easier so awesome but we got caught by 3/5 people. 

All in all it was a good week. It's always a little stressful getting a new companion but fingers crossed the next 5 weeks will go well. I have been thinking a lot about why I came out recently. Its a hard time to serve but thr blessings are there and I know for a fact that this is what I'm supposed to be doing. I am so grateful to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and the chance I have to teach all the people here in Oregon. 

Anyways I hope you all have a good week and that everyone stays safe and healthy! Remember to read your scriptures, say your prayers, and to wear your mask!! Lobe you guys!!!

Love, 
Sister Crouch

  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...
