The one where it's Mother's Day

Another SOLID week. 

On Wednesday, we had dinner with the Shepherds and the Alders, Sister Alder had work to do so we weren't in that picture but we had a yummy pizza dinner lol we talked about how the Shepherds are converts to the church and how that changed there lives in ways they can't even describe. 

He shared some cool story's from his childhood and its tough. I need to remember my childhood stories better bc I don't remember most of them off the top of my head I would have to think haha but super cool and unique/older home but probably the biggest house I've been in!! Brother Shepherd built that temple made of Legos from SCRATCH like WHAT?! He said it took him bout 4 months to find all the prices to build it (like finding prices off eBay or other websites) but he said it was bout 3 and a half feet high and once he was done with it he took it around and put it in the lodge of his ski resort Hoodoo ski resort, and put it right in the middle of the lodge! Such an awesome place to put it! He really tries to make it noticeable that he's a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

On Thursday we had exchanges with our DL So I went with Elder Wellock, I went over to their area Springfield 4th Ward and we had dinner with the Christensen's and had some fire pasta and then we shared a message about how they should reach out to someone this week that you feel needs God's love shown to them! 
So that was sweet and then we called some of their investigators and set up future appointments for them, then we went to the mission office because we had a call with the STLS just on how their area is going, and after we did some finding on FB with the AP's solid evening! 
And in the morning we had district council and then we exchanged back to my comp Elder Chevalier! Good Time with Elder Wellock definitely some good laughs I needed lol



MOTHERS DAY SUNDAY
So we had a solid Mother's Day despite being away from my Mom, but we had an awesome church meeting and then we had a lesson with Russ about the commandments, and that went awesome! 
After we did some FB work and then we had dinner with the Lamunyons and we had a great visit with them after dinner we hurried to the church and I was able to call the fam/mom for Mother's Day!! Love you Mom!!
Then we rushed back and had root beer floats and talked till like 9 lol. Today was 95 degrees up here and it definitely felt like it!! Luckily the rest of the week is sitting around 85 and sunny WOOOO. 

I found this scarf at the Church because 85 degrees is chillyyy. lol. Ft the sunburned arms.

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...

The one where is doesn't rain...because it snows!

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 ...
