Week 21-23: better late than never

-

 Hello everyone!!!

Happy Easter!! My pdays have been flying by so I'm so sorry that i missed 2 weeks. Anyways, I had a ton happen so this is going to be a loooong one, so bear with me please. The biggest news is that I got transferred!!!! I was so sad to leave the awesome members in Gold Hill but I am so excited for a change! I am now in Springfield, Oregon and I am follow up training Sister Lecheminant from Gilbert, AZ!! We are in an apartment share with Sister Hobbs and Sister Earl and we are having so much fun together. This is going to be such an awesome transfer and I'm so excited to be in this zone! 

You know I feel like my emails should just have a section dedicated to things I don't want my mission president to find out about sooooooo....on this edition I climbed a fence and then climbed onto a carport and then scaled the balconies of my apartment complex because I we got locked out and I don't regret it one bit. I did get some puncture wounds from the super sharp fence that left some nasty bruises and cuts but at the end of the day...I would do it again in a heart beat. Word got around pretty fast that I did it but most people were just really impressed, as they should be lollll

Ok now I'm just going to bullet point everything else because there's a lot I need to mention because I gotta make record of everything!!

• I went to the pear farm for the very last time! It was very bittersweet but they provided us lunch and we all got to hang out together since our whole zone was there!
• we had our last district council of the transfer and took zone pics after!! So fun!! We played Jeopardy and partied! 
• we had Sister Cosper's funeral at the Spencer's. We gave her a viking funeral and it was so amazing!
• I was reunited with Sister Nuttall and Sister Hill at the transfer spot 
• We got to help clean up some of the fire sites in Blue River!
• Conference!!! It was so amazing and the whole chapel cheered when they announced that our mission is getting another temple!
• we got to have Easter at a members house! We ate some bomb Navajo tacos and we set up the Easter egg hunt for the kids! 
• we woke up at 5am to do a sunrise hike and im very exhausted but it was a awesome! 

Ok so a lot more happened but I can't remember soooo I will just have to compensate with pics. Buuuuuuut...TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY!!  I am actually disgusted that I'll officially be in my 20s but im so pumped for a mission birthday!! We are going to partyy!!! 

Well this has been a good few weeks. I feel very content where I am and I'm having so much fun. I'm teaching a lot and doing a lot a service. I'm trying to make the most of my time and make the Lord proud. I can't think of anything more important than me being where I am right now. I love and miss you all and hope you are staying safe!! Rememeber to be good citizens, to wear your masks, and to say your prayers and read your scriptures.

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...

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.
