Week 10: Pear Farming!!

 Hello everyone!!!

This week was another awesome week here in the OEM! We did so much service this week and I love it. I am so happy to be a missionary at a time where we can do so much service! The highlight of my service this week was definitely getting to go to the pear farm in Medford!! They needed volunteers so we all got to go up and pick some pears. I had a contest with one of the other Sisters to see who could find a smaller pear. Being the competitive person I am I checked every single tree for a small pear and eventually found the smallest pear in probably the whole orchard. There is also an In n Out in Medford so we stopped there on the way back to Klamath so it was a good day all around.

I also found out this week that my quadpanionship is actually supposed to be two separate companionships! So now Sister Massey and I get to be the Sisters over Klamath Falls 4th ward North! This also means we are going to get to bike a lot more which will be fun. While it is sad we won't get to know everyone in the ward, we hope it will help us get to know half of the ward really really well!!

Another highlight of the week was when I got to play my district leader in a game of around the world for one of our videos we're making. What a blessing that I get to play basketball as part of my missionary work! In case you were wondering, I won:) later this week the video should be up so lmk if you need an invite to our Facebook page to see it!

Have a great week!! 

Com amor,
Sister Seejay

1. Pears!

3. Pears with the Sisters:)
4. When you accidentally pull a full branch off the tree instead of one pear...

Weeks 16 & 17: Temples and Car Washes!!

Image
Hello everyone!!!! I have to apologize for not writing last week! I had the amazing opportunity to go to Medford and go to the temple! I am so thankful for temples and how they help us feel God's love for us! It was also awesome that I got to see my parents again for a little bit! Also Medford has an In n Out so it was overall a great day! In terms of people we are teaching we have been meeting with Deb for the past couple of weeks. In the past she has been meeting with Elders so we're the first Sisters she has met with. Deb told us she really liked meeting with Sisters because she felt she could open up and talk to us a lot more which was so good to hear! Originally she told the elders she no longer wanted to talk to missionaries because of all the switching that's been going on so I'm thankful Deb gave us a chance. Sister Massey and I also had the chance to travel to a baptism! Since I've been in Klamath I've heard about Bob and Joyce and it has been a process...

Week 34: too many miracles

Image
Olááá!!!! As the subject suggests, this week has been so so full of miracles. But the biggest miracle of all has to be our friend Zoe has decided she is going to be baptized on February 27!! We've only taught her for about a week now, but she is so prepared. We taught her the Restoration on Tuesday and I was able to tell her about Joseph Smith's first vision. Right after I finished, she looked at me with a smile so big I could see it through her mask and she said, "wow, that is amazing." Our next lesson with her was on Saturday and she told us she had prayed to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet and if the Book of Mormon was true and she had this overwhelming sense of peace. She read the Book of Mormon every single day since we'd last met, and she absolutely loves it. We invited her to be baptized, and she said yes!! She is beyond excited, and we are too!!  Another miracle from the week, we were on exchanges and Sister Laymon told me she knew this guy at a Gyro pl...

Week 28: Staying in Springfield!

Image
Hello everyone!  It was another crazy busy week here in Springfield! We had Zone Conference and our Mission President talked to us about the importance of having hope. We talked about how hope is an abiding trust in the Lord and that He will fulfill His promises! In times like these, we can always trust that if we are obedient and follow God's commandments, we can expect blessings! This message was extremely helpful to our friend Eve. She's had a pretty rough life, but when we talk to her about hope in Jesus Christ and how He can help her in any circumstance, there is a noticeable change in her. Hope is powerful! Also, I am not getting transferred! All three of us were really worried we were going to be split up because of all the craziness with other missionaries going home before Christmas. Thankfully, we all get to stay together for at least two more weeks and spend Christmas together!! I would love to receive any Christmas cards, and thanks to all those who have already sen...
