Transfer 6 Week 6

Hello Everyone!!

So transfers came and went. I am staying in Coquille and Sis. Opheim is too. We are excited to stay here. We have so many buns in the oven and have just found some awesome people to work with! These next 6 weeks are going to be epic. We are excited for all of the miracles we will witness and all of the amazing changes that will take place. 

This last week we got to go to the temple! I loved it so much! I didn't realize how much I missed it! For all you in Utah, make sure you go as much as you can! The temples are so close! I felt like all the wrinkles in my soul got smoothed out. I love talking to God. He is such a good listener and wants to talk to us too so badly.

I love this gospel. I love the knowledge we have. I love God. I love Christ. I am so thrilled to be a missionary at this time. We are busily trying to 'Catch the wave' and are so excited for conference!

Love you all!

Transfer 6 Week 5

Dear Everyone,

I love you all. This week was good. Another Exchange. Zone conference. Good solid finding. Sorry it's so short this week. Know that I am doing good. It will be better next week. Oh and President said the best thing we could ever write you in a letter would be: I am an obedient missionary. And I am.

I love you all.

Transfer 6 Week 4... I think.

Dear Family and other affiliated loved ones:

I broke another microwave. No joke. I wanted to be lazy and I wanted a burrito so i stuck in a burrito and 30 seconds into cooking.... there was a pop and the microwave was no more. Sad day. Now we have no microwave. Teaches me to be lazy.

So this week was crazy! Monday after P-Day was over we drove to Eugene. On Tuesday I was at a meeting for the mission leadership and my companion was working in Eugene with another sister. Our meeting was awesome. We did a service project at a girls camp and because of how it was set up we ended up staying in our service clothes all meeting. Highlight!  We did a confidence course. It was great. I love learning by the spirit because it teaches us truth and 'brings all things to our remembrance.' Wednesday I was on an exchange in Coos Bay. It was fantastic. We talked to so many people. The sister I was with is one of those perpetually happy people. I asked what made her happy and she replied that it was talking with others. It is so true. Every time we get to share the gospel with someone we are happier. That is one of the reasons why missionary work is so great, because we are constantly talking to others about Christ, about the atonement, about the restoration. It's amazing! You should try it. Set a goal to talk to at least one new person about the gospel today. God will bless you with an opportunity. It does not have to be a non member, it does not even need to be someone you don't know, just someone who needs it today.

Thursday, blessed Thursday! I got to be in my area for Thursday and Friday! We got some good contacting in and talking to people. I love people! They are the whole reason for being here. God's purpose is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. He wants us to be happy and we get to help in that desire. Its amazing! Friday we had zone conference. Great to be with and learn with those great soldiers of God.

Saturday I was on another exchange in Bandon. Very fun but mosquito filled. We talked to a man who had recently been baptized who shared how his meeting the missionaries was an answer to a 30 year old prayer. It was very inspriational to hear him share his testimony. Plus he gave me smoked salmon which is super tasty. Yes. I now eat fish.

I love you all.
