Small Town Vibes

    Okay so we are actually in Willamina, and we live in this cute little town called Sheridan and it literally only has 1 stop light, it's the best. Also the closest Walmart is 30 minutes away so.. that's good... everything I imagined Oregon to be, honestly. SUPER green, lots of lumber trucks, haha, and SMALL TOWN VIBES (@stranger things). But yeah it's just the cutest in the whole world. Also moss grows on literally everything, its fantastic. Also there are still stray cats everywhere here so blessings and theres this one black and white one that we see all the time and we named him Martin. Copyright sis Cozzens. 


ANYWAY.... haha things have been really slow around here with missionary work, but everyone keeps telling us they're so happy to have sisters because now the work will pick up, lol. Our members are the cutest, the ward consists mostly of old people and they're all so sweet they give you cavities and they're just cinnamon rolls ❤❤❤ and they're so supportive of the missionaries. Our ward mission leader is literally a dad haha. He's so protective over us sisters and doesn't take ANY risks. It's really nice, he's very kind ❤ ALSO theres this one member named Lee and he's an old cinnamon roll and he's my best friend, I adore him, he's just always checking in on us and teasing us and he's like a grandpa to us, he's a silly goose, I love him. 


Anyway, MISSIONARY WORK!!!!!! So as I was saying, before I got so distracted, the work has been really slow. BUT yesterday we had a lesson and it was AMAZING!!! Backstory: this guy, Tony, texted us THE DAY WE GOT HERE, and said he was ready to take the lessons again!! So we met with him on sunday (yesterday) and it's actually his fiance who wants the lessons (Angie) and she knows next to nothing about religion in general because it's hard for her to understand. So we taught her the first lesson and as we recited the first vision she just started crying! And she said, "I'm so sorry, I dont know what's happening! Everything you're telling me just makes so much sense!" And we told her that she was feeling the spirit and she just kept crying throught the lesson and I was crying and sis Cozzens was crying and it was just so cool! The spirit was so tangible, you could cut it with a knife. And I just remember thinking, "this is why people go on missions..." it was magical!! the church is so true!!! This gospel is amazing and I'm so grateful I have the opportunity to be apart of the lord's work. 


Also did y'all know that stop signs are HUGE??? Anywau talk to y'all next week love you!!

Haha yeah I'm getting a little stir-crazy...  And its raining........ Things have been good tho. We started teaching a new lil honey, almost put them on date, and could possibly drop them today, And We have virtual lessons with members every night which cures my depression I love the members here ❤  Not much else has been happening... Ashley is AMAZING and progressing so well!! She just eats up everything we teach her, and is SO excited! I love her, shes also pretty hilarious.  Nothing can stop the work of God!!!  We were supposed to get transfer calls last night.... but that never happened. Idk what's going on... ever, it's fine. I could get yeeted outta B-ville on thursday or I could stay for 2 more months. Or all the missionaries will get sent home. Idk man.

(Pics below)  We also spend a lot of time trying to find new people through Fac...

ONE YEAR???????

Image
Well, folks, we made it -- ONE YEAR!!! Honestly never thought it would happen, but God is so good, and He loves us too much to let us fail.  The work is going well, we found out one of the less-active members we're working with may not be a member at all! He cant remember if he actually ever was baptized. So that's kinda exciting, in a weird way. Probably not something I should be excited about  Thoughts: I think sending sis Mecham home was a real eye-opener for me, and kind of a reality check. Like missions don't last forever. Going into a church and having everyone instantly love me because of a tag, will eventually end. And even at Walmart we get stopped every time by people who want to talk to us and thank us for our service -- members and non-members! I'm gonna miss that.  Also, training is wack. Ive never been so aware of my weaknesses. also My child is a bit of a rebel, so I think the Lord is giving me a taste of my own medicine! Lol. BUT I FREAKING LOVE HERA. Sh...
