Week 12: Transfers

Olá!!!

Well this is it I am officially finished with my first transfer of my mission! We got calls last night and Sister Massey and I will be staying together for at least another three weeks! We are getting loads of new missionaries this week and then again in three weeks, so we only have a three week transfer this time around. I am staying in Klamath Falls but we are moving to a new apartment. We will now be ward sharing with another companionship of elders and sisters! It's going to be interesting for sure having six missionaries over one ward but I'm so excited to get to see more of Klamath Falls!

One of the highlights of this week was I gave away my first copies of the Book of Mormon! I had put an add on Facebook Marketplace a few weeks ago offering them for free. I hadn't really gotten any responses until this week when someone reached out and asked for a couple of copies! I was so excited. Despite not being able to do traditional proselyting we can still have success in our missionary work!!

I think I mentioned this in my last email but for the last week of the transfer our whole zone played a missionary bingo game. Despite our best efforts to write a parody rap to "Baby" by Justin Bieber and sending other quality pictures of us up at 6:30, Sister Massey and I didn't win. As punishment, we all had to drink a "smoothie" some of the other sisters made for us. Let's just say syrup, pickle juice, lemon poppyseed dressing, and coconut flakes along with some other unknown ingredients isn't the best thing I've eaten on my mission...

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Love you all!!

Com amor,

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...
