Week 29: vaccines, fish, and doodles

-

 Hello everyone!!


Sorry I've missed a few weeks. Pdays have been flying by lately so I'm going to have to do a quick rundown of everything that has happened. 

1. Transfers! I stayed with my companion Sister Lecheminant and we have a brand new missionary in the apartment named Sis Smith. She's super fun and is assigned to Oslo, Norway and she's from Vegas!!
2. Our ward share stayed the same and we are having a blast with Elder Crow and Vause!
3. We've done a ton of good service! Scrubbed a disgusting kitchen in a house where it smelled so bad our eyes burned, pulled hundreds of weeds, moved a bunch of boxes, and painted a ton of walls. Good times.
4. Taught some really good lessons. We've hit a little but of a lull but we are working hard to get more people to teach. Its hard, but its fulfilling. 
5. Played tons of pickleball!!! It is the way and I'm prepared to go against anyone when I get home 
6. IM FULLY VACCINATED WOOOHOOO

Ok now onto the segment we like to call...I hope my mission president never sees this. Soo...last pday we were coming up with ways we could prank Elder Crow and Vause since we have a key to their apartment. How we obtained that key??? I'm afraid I cannot disclose that information but to make a long story short we bought 10 little minnows from the store. We tried to get even more but the petco worker was not having it soo we settled 10. That night I swallowed one whole as a dare and the rest we put in the elders bathtub. It was a pretty solid prank but yah Elder Vause was not too happy with us haha. Good times in the Springfield zone. 

I'm really enjoying live here in Oregon. I'm exhausted 24/7 and I hate Facebook finding with a burning passion but I know in my heart that this is the Lord's work. I have a very strong testimony of this gospel and I am grateful everyday that I'm trusted to share it with those around me. I haven't been finding a lot of success but thats ok. I know that I'm planting seeds each day that will one day be fruitful and that if I have enough faith, I'll be able to see some of the fruit. 

I love you all. Thanks for the support. I can't wait to keep sharing my adventure with you all.

Love,
Emma

  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 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.
