Week 17: Slow and steady

-

 Hi everyone!!


This was kind of a boring week but its always a good week being a missionary. Lol not sure how true that statement was but we will roll with it. Anyways, even though it was kind of slow we did a lot of good stuff! 

On Tuesday I had my interview with my mission president and it was really good. Its always nice to talk with him and hear the advice he has for me. I was telling him about my struggles and he gave me the challenge to restart The Book of Mormon. I was kind of mad because I was almost done but he made me get a clean book and he wants me to finish the whole thing in 90 days while only marking references to Christ. I'm not sure how it exactly relates to what we talked about but when I figure it out I will let you guys know.

Highlights of the week!!:
1. Pear farm!!! I didn't have to scrub toilets this time. Instead I shredded thousands of sheets of paper 
2. District Council: we have a really good time together and our district leader Elder Lowe always gets us frosties with his fat stack of free frosty keychains. 
3. We met with a new referral named Ian! It probably won't go far since he just bashes us but you never know!
4. All the sisters played volleyball today and I was named MVP which was a nice ego boost for me. 
5. Bro Jankowski got us subway, doughnuts, in n out, and panda express all this week. He is so sweet to us! 
6. I got to talk with my Turkish friend Gorkem a lot this week. I help him with his English and he is legit my favorite person to message. 

Well that's all I have for you this week! I hope you guys all had an amazing week and that you are all staying healthy and safe. I miss you guys a lot! Remember to read your scriptures, say your prayers, and to wear your mask! 

Love you all!
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...
