Smith ROCKS

Ahhh! Transfers!!!! So, after 7.5 months of being in the holy land of GALES CREEK, I was banished to the other side of the mountains to an area in Redmond called Smith Rock. It's a lot like Utah -- high desert..... so I hate it. It has been really hard to leave FG, my heart is still there. I cry a lot. Haha. No one told me I'd have to say goodbye to my family twice!!!! But Redmond keeps trying to flirt it up with me. I'm sure I'll grow to love it. I'm already starting to. God has been very tender and gentile with my heart this past week and we've seen miracles!! The area is POPPIN. We're currently teaching 9 ppl and have lots of potentials and less actives (my FAV). So the future's looking good. 


I LOVE my companion!! Her name is sis Hebdon and she's in her 2nd transfer of training. Apparently President has a lot of trust in me. Lol. For some reason....... 
But she makes me laugh and she sounds like Drew Barrymore. We also live with the Spanish sisters in what the missionaries call "The Redmond Palace". Its not that nice. It just has 2 stories and lots of space. Nevertheless, I AM GRATEFUL. Also, we are the only sisters in the zone.


Halloween was fun!! We spent the night painting cuz we had to be in by 6 ☹ But our ward mission leader brought his fam to our house and did reverse trick or treating -- they gave US candy. It was excellent. And super cute.


Here is a quote from Richard G. Scott that I LOVE. 


"But there is absolute assurance that, in the Lord’s time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and emptiness will be filled." 


I love that. 


And I love Y'ALLS
Love Syd

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. We're just all chillin in our apartments doing puzzles 'n stuff.  I have a lot of time to draw tho so that's been nice. (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...
