It's HUMP WEEK my friends!!

MARCH 14, 2017

So for all of my fan club that may be wondering at this point, I did not get transferred this week. I'm still in Klamath Falls for another 5 weeks at least, which means I will be celebrating Easter/MY BIRTHDAY here in Klamath with the Klam Fam. Next transfer is only a 5 week transfer because there is a meeting that President Russell has to be at so they decided to change the transfer time. But the sad part about this transfer is that lovely little Sister Gregory got transferred today. She is going to Waldport which is on the coast, so you know we are all very jealous. But I am so sad to see her go and I think that we have been a little bit in denial about her actually going, but she is now gone and I miss her already. But change is the name of the game, I'm excited to meet my new companion! Her name is Sister Roach, and that is about all that I know! She is going to be a new Sister Training Leader with me in Klamath Falls, so I am excited to do some good work with her here in the area!

This last week has been so much fun, last Monday we were able to go Bowling as a Zone, Klam Fam bonding time, but it was weird because it got really competitive and contentious so we decided it was time to stop. A lot of the missionaries in Klamath Falls had been here for a long time so I think that everyone was just kind of feeling like it was the end of transfer week and it was stressful. But it was fun while it lasted. I was able to show off some of my bowling skills and actually almost won a couple of times. It was awesome. Then after Pday was over we got orders from President to leave Klamath Falls immediately to go to Central Point and stay with the sisters to go to MLC on Tuesday in Eugene. It had been snowing all day in Klamath Falls so he wanted us to go before it got dark over the pass. But we were able to drive safely and we made it to Central Point and we were able to have a sleep over with the sisters over there which was actually a lot of fun.

On Tuesday we had the opportunity to wake up really early and drive to Eugene. But it was actually a lot of fun because President Cropper, a member of the Mission Presidency, and we just asked him Gospel questions the whole way and we were able to receive a lot of information for him that I'm excited to study about later in life. It felt like the whole entire car was just doing one big companionship Study. It was fun, then when we got to Mission Leadership Counsel we were able to learn from our leaders. It was so much fun. We talked a lot about Church Attendance and getting our investigators to church to be able to receive revelation as they go to church. It was actually really relevant to what we needed in Klamath Falls, so that was really fun to be able to learn more of what we can do as missionaries. It was also a lot of fun to be with the other leaders and to be able to talk to them about ways that we can help our missionaries in our areas. I love the OEM. Seriously. So much love.

On Saturday Sister Gregory and Sister Pday went to the Medford temple with their recent converts so Sister Allen and I were able to spend the morning together. That morning Sister Allen told me that she was bitten by a dog the day before. Well in this mission anyone who gets bitten by a dog is supposed to report it immediately to the mission nurse, Sister Allen didn't know that. So we called and we ended up having to go to the lady's house whose dog bit her and ask if her dog was vaccinated. So then we went and the lady wasn't home. Well she kept trying to meet her the rest of the day, but no luck. So then Sister Allen got a call from President the next day telling her to go to the ER because they didn't know if the dog was vaccinated. So much fun, I felt bad that I made Sister Allen call, but you know, at least she is safe. Lol.

For my spiritual thought today I just wanted to share a quote that we were able to read during MLC this last week in Eugene. I was actually able to teach this segment during Zone Training Meeting. We talked about the Restoration and about how the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ is an ongoing process. We were able to read this quote from Dieter F Uchtdorf in the talk entitled "Are you Sleeping through the Restoration?" And it reads,

"Sometimes we think of the Restoration of the gospel as something that is complete, already behind us--Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon, he received priesthood keys, the Church was organized. In reality, the Restoration is an ongoing process; we are living in it right now. It includes “all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal,” and the “many great and important things” that “He will yet reveal.” Brethren (all dear fan club members), the exciting developments of today are part of that long-foretold period of preparation that will culminate in the glorious Second Coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ."

I think a lot of the time while I am teaching the Restoration to my investigators I get caught in the this happened, then this happened, and so now the church is fully restored on the Earth today! But really we are all apart of that Restoration, and it is continuing to happen day after day. As we are able to understand what the Restoration of the Gospel is in our life then we will be able to fully appreciate what has happened and what is continuing to happen. I am so grateful that we have this church on the Earth today, and that it is continuing to be restored just like President Uchtdorf, I am so grateful for the Prophet Joseph Smith and for all that we was able to sacrifice to help bring the church forward again. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and I love that I am able to share that love and happiness every single day of my mission. 

By the way, during MLC they showed us the new First Vision Video that was premiered at the Face to Face event with Elder Holland and President Eyring. It is called Ask of God. ALL OF YOU SHOULD GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW. It is a cool video that makes it so you feel like you are in the Scared Grove at the time of the First Vision. I am so so so excited to start sharing this with my investigators. Also, the voice of Joseph in that video is the same guy who plays Jesus in the Bible Videos, weird right?

Well this week being transfers I don't really have a ton of time to write anymore, but I am so grateful for all of the people who emailed me today, so sorry that I don't have a ton of time. I hope to hear from all of you next week. I might not have Pday until Saturday next week because we have a Temple Trip, but I'm sure I will get to send a short email to inform you then. I love you all! Have a fabulous week!

We went bowling last week as a Zone, and this picture is just so funny, I look like I hate Sister Allen with every cell of my body, then she looks at me like love at first sight, lol love these sisters!

Went to MLC this week, so guess who I saw!!! Sista Nowell. Love her. So much love.

Celebratory Cookie Jar Blizzards! They were much needed after a very successful ZTM!

We decided to do Planning outside for a change because the weather was so nice. It was wonderful. Loving these spring time days.

Sister Allen and I got to spend an eventful morning together because our companion went to the temple with their recent convert. So we went to a Cub Scout breakfast fundraiser. It was so much fun, the little cub scouts were in their uniforms serve us breakfast, good times!
