The one where we use a chop saw

Hey hey its another week and im running a little behind on this on haha the week has really just gone by way to fast. So in efforts in trying to still send an email home every week this email will be from the 8th-15th of January!! 

Okay so Tuesday the 9th we had a super busy day 5 lessons! 1 with non member and 4 with members and we had a wood service for the Southwicks again! It was a solid day.
We got to teach Darren he's such a homie and is truly starting to like church and the Teachers Quorum! So that's SICK! but yeah Tuesday was just a packed day and went by sups fast!!

Wednesday we had a good member lesson about the Come Follow Me and we were able to go over that weeks reading this member. whose name is Reyes Aguilera. He cant come to church for legal reasons but he such a homie and it truly trying to still have a relationship with God, just about every time we meet, he has tears running down his face because the Spirit is always so strong! Before the lesson though he showed us around his house and turns out his dad coaches boxers to tour all up and down the west coast. They had a full on boxing gym in their house so nuts! 

Thursday, the day we used the chop saw with Stephen Seable! Stephen is a big time artist "if you think it i can do it" so his 40ft by 50ft shed/barn is where he does all of his projects, but as he got old he had a stroke and can barely walk sadly so we helped him cut these legs of the table in half for him so he can use it while he is sitting in his wheelchair! Gotta love him and will always remember that day.

Saturday i was on ZLn exchanges and we had a early morning service around 9:30 we helped move a 600lbs pool table! We were taking it from a nonmembers house to another house so it was good to talk to them a little about what we do as missionaries! Super nice people!! 

Sunday was lit per usual! We had church and then mish prep and the service missionaries were teaching it and they were completely dawging on us full-time missionaries so that wasn't cool but oh well 

That was my week not super exciting and I know its like a week late I'll be sending out my email for this week by the end of tomorrow! 

Love ya guys

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 ...
