Week 40: long live Gita the Tacoma

-

 Hi guys :)))


Another week of catch up but thats ok! It just means I'm having too much fun on pdays! A lot of stuff actually happened! I got transferred!! Again!!! I got shafted from Eagle Point and now I'm serving with Sister Ngatuvai in Eugene! It's so so so good. We are having a blast together and with the sisters in our ward share. This is going to be an awesome transfer. Eugene is an odd place and missionary work is slow here but I'm excited to see some miracles. I'm also without a car so we are walking and riding the bus which is so interesting!

Like I said I'm gonna play some catch up since I've missed a few email so I'm just gonna bullet it!
• we got to go to crater lake! It was so beautiful and amazing. The sweetest lady in our ward took us and she almost killed us like 5 times in the car but that's ok! I'm grateful nonetheless!
• our ward did a pioneer day celebration and I was forced to wear a pioneer outfit by thr RS but it was all good! I also won 3rd place in the pie contest with a blackberry pie i made from blackberries I picked! 
• I hit my 9 months on Wednesday!!! Pretty crazy :P Thanks everyone for all the emails and messages! I loved them so much! 

Overall I'm really am doing good. There are still hard days but the good days make it all worth it. Me and Sister Ngatuvai have some good goals and we are so pumped to work towards them. The valley is so fun and we are surrounded by so many missionaries and I love our zone. Eugene is the place. 

Love and miss you guys 

Emma :D

  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.
