"What Is That?????!" *In Scottish Accent*

Friends!! I am once again out of time


But I'm loving Redmond!! Me and sis H will most likely stay together another transfer so I'm stoked about that


We are still teaching lots of people, but most of them aren't responding, so RIP. And Oregon is going back into lock down for 2 weeks.... starting Wednesday.... so RIP Thanksgiving.  I am super grateful to be in a 4 sister apartment, otherwise I would probably lose my mind being stuck inside again. It should be fun. 


Also, reason for the subject line, the 4 of us sisters are the only sisters in the zone, and our elders are a little rambunctious hahaha... and they just go around talking in British/Scottish accents, and one of the most popular phrases is "What is that?????" At completely random times. Kinda hilarious. I LOVE our zone. We're so far away from the rest of the mission that we are all really tight. We're all we got, man. I have never laughed more in my life, It is seriously so fun here. 


So I have been out for 15 months... 
What??????? Didnt see that coming *nervous laughter* 
But you know what? I'm loving my mission. And I dont want to leave????? What's that about??? Remember 9 months ago when I had a mental breakdown in front of my whole zone cuz I wanted to go home??? Wow. God is seriously so good. I cannot imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't stayed on my mission. This has been the best experience of (and for) my life. I am overwhelmed by Gods love and mercy and that He kept me out here. It is proof of the enabling power of the Atonement cuz heaven knows I would NOT have been able to stay out on my own. Literally every aspect of my life has gotten better. Even my handwriting?????? God just loooooves to bless us. I've learned that what we gain with God is always more than what we lose. 
A Pioneer from the Martin Handcart company once said, 
"The price we paid to become acquainted with God was a privilege to pay." 
This coming from a person who experienced some of the most gruesome and horrid things a person can experience. 
I feel very similar -- not to compare trials. But my mission has been the best experience of my life because it was the worst. Does that make sense? 


Anyway, GOD IS GOOD. You already know. 


Love you all!!!

It's Raining It Pouring My Life Is Boring

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...
