The one where I feel right at home LOL

 This week I feel right at home because of the weather. Hahah the weather is freezing but where we live there's no weather at all, just freezing and no snow or rain super lame just like at home.

This week has been super slow when it comes to talking and teaching to people because of Thanksgiving with families being out of town and people having family over, so we weren't really able to have lessons this week, but, we did do a lot of wood moving services. Basically, that means that we move the wood from their wood pile and move it either closer to their front door or inside their house. 

It still blows my mind that people still use wood-burning fireplaces but wow the difference between dry heat and a normal heater is honestly crazy idk what I like better lol

 

But yeah once Thanksgiving day came around I was expecting it to feel like Thanksgiving and nope it didn't feel like that at all just felt like another day. But, that all changed when we had Thanksgiving dinner with the Peterson family was super nice and there was so much good food! Felt a little like home.

 

Sunday after Thanksgiving, we were able to go to a wonderful church meeting at Yonna Valley and were able to talk to visitors from out of town because they were in town for Thanksgiving so that was fun! Still getting used to the whole branch ordeal hahah!

 

Other than all those things we were able to do a lot of personal studies and preach my gospel study in preparation for the District Council meeting.

 

Have a great week, 

 

Love Elder Fillmore

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 ...
