Monday 
After the District Council we had Jaime's baptism interview and it went well! So we were still on track for Saturday wooo haha 

Tuesday 
We went over to Brother Furtado and helped him with transporting some heavy stuff info the back of his truck and we also washed our car we got because we got the momma rocket (Toyota Sienna van) so after washing it and make it look cleannnn we we over to a members house and talked to her because she doesn't get out much because she has to stay in her apartment due to health reasons, her name is Sue Murph! After we did some planning for Jamie's baptism program! And then we had a lesson, Christine! She seems to like the gospel, her boss is a member and shes in our ward so Christine started asking questions about religion and stuff because she catholic  but she said well lets have the missionaries over so this is our 3 time meeting and it was actually really good conversation! We have like 3 out of the 5 workers there in on the lesson be there also members haha but we talked about church organization and it went well!

Wednesday 
Was a calling type of day so many things fell through and it was pouring rain all day but we had such a good dinner from the Cammack's they are the senior missionaries in our wardabsolute dawgs

So watch out for those then we had a yummy dinner with the Grasse's and then had a good talk with a ex investor Dash (hes the afro redhead in the last email haha) just chatted it up with him and we was complaining about Oregon so we talked to him bout leaving and hes like nahhh im like bruh okay

Definitely a baptism to remember after the baptism we helped Elder Barker (vehicle coordinator) move some stuff into storage near the mission office so that was fun haha after we had dinner with the Howe family, there from Japan and cook us some yellow curry with beef it was so freaking good holy! After knocked some doors and called it a night!!

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 ...
