My people what is up?
The air here smells like the lame campfires everyone wanted to have in high school; so that's like a 4/10 experience, but it's all good.
Quick update from the email last week, we went bowling and apparently bowling is the one thing in the state of Oregon that's cheaper than in Utah. So yee yee, my kind of place. :) Also I bowled a 130 both times, not bad considering it's been almost a year and a half since the last time I had the pleasure of being on a lane. Straight serotonin stonks were had.
We once again had the incredible experience of joining the Mortenson family and Gary for family home evening. They forgot to tell us we needed to plan a little lesson, but all is well, because the spirit told me to take the stepping stones, and we had a fun little object lesson about the gospel of Jesus Christ. :) Cody (who is like 6, pienso), tried to cut a whole watermelon with a butter knife for a bit, and it was comedic gold, at the end of the night he also stepping in Turkey pooh. These people apparently have pet turkeys....for fun. I-. As a Mendon resident, I cannot relate.
We had the pleasure of driving to Medford for Zone Conference (a little over an hour and a half); so in my almost nine months of mission experience I have one had one Zone Conference I haven't had to drive an hour and half to! :) And that's on banishment, but we love it here.
While there I saw the Medford temple, it was the first time in almost eight months I've seen a temple! Let alone been in one! Crazy to think how much I take advantage of them being on every corner in Utah; and we have big ones too. This Medford baby is tiny! The stake center that shares a parking lot with it is JUST as big I swear.
Zone Conference was good, we all low-key got dragged for never writing P Weeks, so I should probs do that today I guess. I was also crazy hungry the whole time and VERY hyped to visit the only Chic-Fil-A in the mission....until I received some tragic news. The Chic-Fil-A was temporarily closed, because they felt like they were overworking their staff. I don't know if I've ever been that sad, but anyway, the world moves on I guess. I certainly haven't yet though.
The other Klamath sisters all wanted to go to In N Out, so we did; and yet again I can say that everything about In N Out is disappointing to me. I later learned that my comp doesn't like it either so we really went for no reason; so RIP. 1/10 experience. Also the Sisters had us over to do Facebook finding together and had us do face masks, and yet again I'm disappointed by face masks. Don't get the hype personally.
Joann had us over for dinner again (she made fajitas and some absolutely bomb guacamole). During the dinner we talked to all three of Elizabeth's kids a lot (it's actually so hard for me to keep track of which kids belong to who); and 9 year old Anthony point blank told us we wants to be baptized! Which is incredible, sadly we haven't taught him anything yet, so that'll need to change! Hehehe. We're super hyped though, and I'll get to polish off all my old object lessons from the days of teaching the Severson boys a lesson every week! :) We have our first real lesson with him tonight! He apparently watched all the videos that we send to Joann with her too! :) Also he taught me so much about Pokeman my head was spinning that night.
His siblings (Jamie- or Jaynie, can't tell how they're pronouncing it- and Michael) also have a slight interest, they just seem to think they need to make a decision about joining the church before being taught? Weird, but we're hoping to change that soon! Both of them are super sweet and talk to us every time that we come!
People I had the Pleasure of Meeting:
Finally had the pleasure of meeting the incredible Snow family this week. In the past, missionaries have come over and had correlation (they're both over missionary work in RS/EQ) and play Book of Mormon DnD. We didn't play, and words cannot express my disappointment, pero está bien. They were super jet lagged that night, so hopefully we will this week! :)
Lori - low-key an eternigator; but I also don't think she's ever actually been taught anything...? Sisters come over and read the BOM with her. She's in 3 Nephi now, and I don't think she knows much. Super confusing, she really likes the Book of Mormon and believes that God would still talk to His children, and give further guidance; but doesn't seem to have any faith towards this faith..? Her son was a member, and when he died she wanted to know more about what he believed I guess. IDK... I'm still very much confused, and now I understand the lack of clarity the notes about her have.
Song of the week that I'd give my right pinkie toe to listen to right now: "Don't Throw Out My Legos"- AJR. Please listen to it for me. Idk why but this one has been haunting me recently. I'm also haunted because I was just informed by my father- over email- that Whitey (the 2000 white Honda Civic, I drove all throughout high school, and my older siblings all drove as well) was sold; so now I know I will never live out my daydream of this entire week were I drive around the empty roads of Mendon with AJR blaring. Actually tragic.
Also apparently I hit NINE MONTHS in two days!!! I'm halfway there, I only get this much more time!! What? Seriously the craziest news of all time, semi-depressed about it. Can't believe I'll have to leave the beloved OEM one day. :( No me gusta.
