Week 37: Who put a porta-potty in my garage!?

-

 Hello!! 


Another week under the belt. Eagle Point has a lot of good stuff going and I'm teaching more than I ever have. We are having some really really good lessons and praying we see some success from them. I was able to invite someone to pray about baptism for the first time which was pretty cool!

One of the best things about my last zone was that all of the elders and sisters were super close since we saw them all the time! Here, we are pretty far from everyone but it doesn't mean we are safe from pranks I guess lol. We got home from a long busy morning and we open our garage and there's a big old yellow porta-potty sitting in our garage. Im thinking who did this and how are we get this thing OUT. So we start making phone calls and no one knows anything about it but 4 of the elders confessed when they found out our housing coordinators wanted to file a police report lollll. Long story short the elders arranged for it to go back to its home and they got us a few tubs of Umpqua. yum

I'm playing catch up a bit so I'm just going to crank this out

• we found 14 black widows outside of our house which was fun
• we had a super fun 4th and got to watch the fireworks outside of our house!
• pear farm per usual!!
• I had exchanges so I went to the Spanish branch and got to use some Spanish, eat papusas, and get hit on by a Mexican dude who came up to our car window lol. Good times. 
• we got to hangout with our WMLs animals and they had the cutest litter of puppies 
• Zone Conference!!

This has been a really good area for me. The ward is awesome and I'm making a lot of progress with the people we are teaching. It's a pretty amazing thing to see the spirit work on someone you know will benefit from being in the church. 

I love you all and think about you guys often!

  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...
