Hi!!! This has been a solid last two weeks! The biggest thing that happened is Georgine got baptized!! On January 21st. I'm so happy we were able to push her a little bit when it came to her baptism date!! After she got done with the interview I knew she was ready to be baptized for sure!!! I'm so proud of her for making the first step towards living with her Heavenly Father again!! I'm also glad we were able to zoom it for all the past missionaries that taught her, and the missionaries' families.   Transfers came on Tuesday this time instead of Sunday and I'm staying for another 6 weeks in Klamath Falls!! So nuts that me and Elder Kjar are still together rip hahaha. We are getting the work done and that's all that matters!!  On Thursday, I had to say bye to Elder Sparks my first favorite zone leader so sad I'm gonna miss that guy but luckily I'll see him at zone conference On Feb 7!  We had a super fun service this week hahaha. We feed cows at 8 am 20 d...

This week was kinda filled with a whole bunch of people canceling so that wasn't super fun but we had a couple highlights of the week!  The first highlight was our APs came down to Klamath Falls. Elders Hepworth and Yeager super awesome elders, they are the ones that drove me to Klamath Falls from Eugene when I first arrive on the Mish!   Anyways they spent a couple of days down here because they are the social media leaders so they were filming some stuff down here! One morning, we went to the gym with them, and the other morning we played basketball because there good at basketball lol so that was fun to hang a little with them!  This week, has been a lot better between Elder Kjar and me getting along is definitely the best week, the long drives are filled with a lot of laughter and conversations which means a lot bc I was seriously struggling with lessons with him but of course we get to a good spot with one week of the transfer left lol but oh well! Just glad it'...

The one where I'm a week behind on the emails lol

  Jan 2nd - Jan 9th At the beginning of the week, we did exchanges with the ZLs, it was a really good day and a half with the coolest ZLs if the whole OEM. I went with Elder Sparks he's actually from Lehi Utah too and he went to Skyridge my high school!  I learned a lot from him and that day we had a bunch of cancelations but we did a lot of Facebook finding in public at McDonald's and we talked to people as they sat by us.  I'm getting better at striking up a conversation with a random stranger lol. Elder Sparks taught me a lot as he's been out for like 19 months now! Gonna miss that guy! Later that night we went to Black B Bear Diner in Klamath with a bunch of the Elders from the zone! Gonna be hard if I leave his place! Leaning towards the end of the week we met with Georgine. We have been doing a lot of service for her dog rescue. Been chopping, moving, and burning a ton of wood. We have been meeting with her a lot bc she's getting baptized on the 21st of Januar...

New Years Eve we didn't do a lot this week because my comp is super sick.  We first went to Georgines to clean up her yard and get all the dogs back in the gate. Then we talked about moving her date up to the 21st!! And she's willing to do that!! So hopefully she will follow though!! Hopefully first baptism! Then we had lunch/dinner with some really cool members of the Yonna Valley branch! It's been a super cold week too.  Then we came back we went to the store for some stuff for Elder Kjar had to get and then we were just chillin' at home. Then Elder Huffman and his comp (super cool guys dope hanging with them) were like hey we got 4 6 oz stakes and bread and apple pie and they were like hey we wanna come to eat this with you guys and cook it at our place so we made some good steaks and had some garlic bread super fire! Then my comp was like I'm out of here and went to and I just hung out with the elders till like 9 and then they went back bc of curfew. I worked ou...
