Cannon, Sydney

Soooooooo yeah we had transfers yesterday (which is why I'm emailing today) and sis Hair went over the mountain to Bend and it was the worst. There was screaming and wailing and gnashing of teeth. But whatever obviously I'm over it. It was a hard day but also a good one cuz I got to go back to SALEM!!!!!! (technically my first area for like a week lol.) The Vernonia sisters (Johansson & Jorgenson) slept over sunday night. then we left super early monday morning to drop sis hair off in Salem. And then my heart died. So ma girls J&J took me to down town Salem and we got drinks and sat in the grass and just talked, which was really nice. Then we went to some cute shops and got Mediterranean food for lunch. So all was well in the end I guess. You meet some amazing people on the mish. Sis H, and the sister Js will FOREVER have my heart I freaking love them so much ❤❤❤ shout out to my girls.  Anyway, soooo I'm senior comp now in Gales Creek so now I get to DRIVE and I act...

friends!! This week flew on by. psa..this week I was told  I use too many emojis on Facebook so I guess I'll just leave them here hahaha.  On Wednesday we went to the Forest Grove Farmer's Market and LOOK HOW PRETTY THESE FLOWERS ARE. it was SO FUN. Farmers market, then we got some take out food and ate in the backyard while the sun peaked out. I felt normal for a sec, it was refreshing.  I've been inside for a solid 3 months. I am going kinda crazy. I'm soooo fidgety. BUT happy day because we can now be invited into members homes for lessons and dinners. We've already had a couple and it has been blessed.  Random thingz: ☆I tried jackfruit and it was yum ☆Syd can't do eyedrops ☆Its mega rainy here:( sun, wya?  But also like, straight vibin ☆I made an actual meal -- o r a n g e   c h i n k i n  -- from SCRATCH (Dad are you proud?)  ☆We have friendship bracelets with our Bishop  ☆God loves ya, don't forget it  ☆GOD IS GOOD Sending ya...

GUYS I HAD 2 BAPTISMS!!!!!!! my first "official" ones!!!! (Tecnically I've had 4, + 2 ppl on date)  But guys it was sooooo beautiful!!!! Damien and Nyla were the ones baptized, they live in Vegas but flew out to lil ol Forest Grove to be baptized here so family could come. And so we could come!!!!!! Oh my goodness it was indescribable. It was really small cuz of social distancing, so we felt very special that they wanted us there. But it was literally a miracle. Our little quarantine miracle, cuz all of this came out of a short lil message from the bible that turned into the missionary discussions, that turned into baptisms. God is still a God of miracles, and not even a world wide pandemic can stop His work from progressing.  The gospel is so amazing, like when a person gets baptized it's like Christ raising them from spiritual death, which is as much of a miracle as Christ raising someone from physical death. The spirit was so strong. I love this gospel. It feels li...

Hey friends! Not much to report, still teaching lots of lessons and life is good!  We had Zone Conference on friday and it was mind blowing!!! Elder Klebingot from the seventy came and spoke to us and hes like kinda funny. Hes very blunt and is not afraid to speak his mind, so we definitely got a lil chastised, lol. But he talked a lot about the premortal life, and it was really really cool, so I wanna share a bit. Bassically he said: "Before we came to earth we probably had one on one time with Heavenly Father, where He tells us where we're going and some advice. And We know that this earth is the most wicked of all Gods creations (Moses 7:36), so when Father told us we were coming to this earth we were probably like 'No, please no, anywhere but there!' But then I imagine Father must have said 'but look at who I'm sending with you,' and Christ walks in. I imagine at that point we must have said 'oh okay I'm good now, if He's going then I'll...
