The one with humidity + super cold = bone chilling

With the weather being 85% humidity and a high of 35 and a low of 15, this is next level cold that I have never experienced before. 


Tuesday Nov 15

I had my first Zone Conference! After the 3½ hour drive to the stake center in Medford, OR it was super good to meet everyone from the south part of the mission! Super cool to bond with everyone! President and Sister Weekes taught about temple covenants and the wonderful blessings that we receive when we attend! Super good talks! After the zone conference, we went to IN&OUT!! I miss that food so much. We also went to Chick-fil-A to get a shake so that was yummy!! Definitely miss the fast food places lol. In Klamath we don't get none of that rip haha


Wednesday Nov 16th 

We did wood service the whole day for a lot of people! Super fun cutting wood with a hydraulic wood chopper lol. There is a lot more work to do helping everyone prep for winter.  Awesomeness too as we were able to set up some appointments with some new people! So that was good!


Thursday Nov 17th 

We helped at the local food bank and helped pack their Christmas cards! The sunset that day was amazing!


Friday Nov 18th

We had District Council as usual and bonus we had 1:1 interviews with President Weekes! Super good to talk to President Weekes! After the interview, we did new missionary training on how to up our personal study and comp study from  Sister Weekes! She gave a lot of great insights on how to do them better!

After the district council, we attended a Harvest Dinner at the Keno Branch. There were about 40+ people who attended from the community, many were not members of the church. It was great fun and had activities for the few kids in the branch. We had super good soup and rolls!


Sunday Nov 20th 

We had a super busy day!! And it started that morning with Branch Council at Keno and then church meetings. For lunch, we were invited to a birthday party by one of the members of the branch. Later, we attended Stake Priesthood meeting followed by an awesome member meal! Super busy day, and it felt good to feel accomplished so many things!

The one with all kinds of surprises

Image
This week went by so fast because it was filled with surprises and other highlights below. Tuesday Nov 8th Today was filled with service and moving apartments. We did service at a thrift store called Treasures. We sorted a bunch of wires and put them in a massive bin so untangling them took forever lol once we got done they said we could go shopping around and I found a sick sock tie and a sick old handheld FM radio.  After we got done with the service we found out we were moving to a different apartment! So that was exciting and a big surprise but also a small hassle because I finally got all my clothes and desk all organized, but now had to pack it all up. Our new place is an upgrade from our old apartment so that was a massive plus! It puts us 15 minutes closer to our Keno area, but just that much further from the Yonna Valley area. I found God loves giving us surprises; sometimes they are good in the long run but also a hassle in the moment, just like the hard points in our li...

Hi everyone this is Elder Fillmore emailing from OREGON! So crazy I'm here! Wednesday, November 2nd!  At 6:30AM we checked out of the MTC and headed to Provo Station to catch our train to the airport. Once there, my comp and just chilled while we waited for our flight to OR. We landed in Eugene, Oregon early afternoon and as expected it was pouring down rain and I was like oh boy haha here it all starts. We made our way to grab our luggage and walked out of the airport and boom the sun was out so that was a tender mercy!  We were met by the APs Elder Yeager and Elder Hepworth, super cool guys. We got loaded up and on our way. We traveled to the mission offices in Eugene and when we arrived, we were greeted by President and Sister Weekes. It was so awesome to meet them F2F for the first time and they are super cool people. It will be hard to see them go when they finish their mission in July 2023.   We then got going with a short welcome meeting for all 19 new ...

The one where I'm in Eugene!

Hi ik I took a fat break with emails, but since the last one, I got transferred up to EUGENE with Elder Chevalier! Such a good teacher and has a way better sense of humor than my last comp lol so I'm so thankful for that!! We are a little north of Eugene, in Santa Clara kinda a suburb of Eugene and I am on a BIKE. One of two biking areas in the mish.  The teaching pool is seriously slacking up here so we are trying to change that as much as we can so far we are teaching 3 people but since I've been here we have only been able to meet with one of them once a week. So we are trying to start teaching those others too!  Yesterday, we had a member dinner and the house was maybe 20 minutes away on a bike. So we get going it was a light sprinkle when we start and the closer we got the harder and harder it rained lol. So we finally get to the house just soaking like our pants on our thighs are just soaked and it was a cold rain so we were just freezing luckily they put a space heater ...
