Hey everybody, it's been a good week! Pretty slow, and a lot of it was just transfers, pero está bien! :)
Monday night we had a goodbye drive through for Sister Peterson and Sister Mitchell. Elder Imbler once again showed up with his trumpet and played tabs (or taps we are a quad pan are currently arguing about which it is). 'Twas a good time!
We then went to correlation, BP gave us all ice cream, then proceeded to start his goodbye ritual. He picks out a car part that reminds him of you and carves your nickname into it with the dates you served here. It was so cute, and genuinely one of the saddest things I've ever seen. He gave Sister Peterson part of an old car radio, because she always plays the ukulele!
We didn't have to be in Eugene until four the next day, so we ended up moving the beds from Waldport over to Yachats with BP. Sister Peterson and I were in dresses the entire time, which was quite fun. Sister Phillips and I have since went back over and stole everything else worth taking from the old apartment; so we're pretty much moved in. There are still some things to work out, like how we have way too much furniture in the back room. But all is well.
We then ate a subway sandwich while sitting on a rock looking out the ocean, and then headed to Eugene. We took the coast so it was SO pretty. It was low-key, really sad to say goodbye, but it's all good. After a bit of messing around in Eugene (because the transfer van was late, shocker!) I took Sister Peterson to the mission office, essentially killed her, and picked up Sister Phillips.
Sister Hawkins and her greenie (Sister Poulsen) didn't get back until around 5 the next day, which was rough because they were bringing groceries and the only cereal we had was Sister Hawkins' nasty raisin bran. :( That crud should not legally exist (sorry dad). Being in a "quad pan" is honestly a pretty good time though, so far so good.
Another reason that this week has been so slow is because both Brandy and Jodi are in the hospital. Both have quite a bit of health issues it seems. Jodi we're planning to go over and help her move in some more once she's back home, and Brandy said she'd call us when she's out too (she'll probably forget, but it's all good). So if you have any room on your prayer rolls, add them.
At district council we were told we can get vaccines now, which was really exciting; but when we tried to look them up on the church computer, none of them said we qualified; so obviously some communication got lost somewhere down the mission grapevine, before it found us here in banishment. Hopefully we can get them soon, though that'd be hecka nice.
Sister Phillips and I went and saw Jeffrey Geiger on Saturday. It was the shortest lesson we've ever had! Only a little over an hour, and he actually answered the questions we asked instead of talking about his time in Washington D.C. instead! Go Jeffrey! He also showed up to church and bore his testimony, which was so cool!
YSA this week was actually super good, five YSA people actually showed up! Which is such a good turnout, the best I've ever seen actually. Three of them spoke, which was the first time I've ever seen a member of this ward speak since I've been here. Clay Evans (he's in the Coast Guard, and is the person who shows up in person the most often) brought the house down. He was asked to talk about who Jesus Christ is to him, and after admitting he had forgotten until 10 p.m. last night, he absolutely killed it! Shout out to YSA, I have so much hope one day we'll have a turn out that's in the double digits!
Anyway it's been a pretty slow, and semi-quiet week, but that will definitely change because Waldport isn't ever short on stories. I'm so excited for all the new people to meet the members, and all the wild people we know here, it's going to be so fun!
Here's hoping I have a lot more interesting things to tell you next week,
Hermana Shelton :)
