Hello Everybody,
I hope you're having a great labor day! Without any further ado, here's the transfer news:
L E S S O N S :
Lori: okay so after a YEAR AND A HALF of reading the BOM with missionaries. Lori has completed Moroni 10. Campbell and I knew that this was a great point for us to actually start to teach her lessons; and then Lori mentioned that she wanted to start reading D&C- which by the way, reading D&C with recent converts/new friends is not it-, and we said no. Campbell asked her what if we taught her the lessons her son got instead. And Lori LOVED that idea...she was so excited, almost as if missionaries have never mentioned that before...IDK that woman greatly confused me.
Anthony: His ADHD- and being nine- showed a bit more this week then ever, and we had a bit of a rougher lesson; but he told us he'd be at church very firmly. AND he was!!! And not only was he BUT both of his siblings too!!! Say what, now if they'd just sit in during the lessons...don't worry we'll get there. :)
Betty: Our sweet Betty had been really sick this week, so we couldn't meet with her. Please keep her in your prayers.
Gary: I cannot express in words how much I love Gary. One of the sweetest human beings I've had the pleasure of meeting. He actually went up and bore his testimony this week! It was so sweet, and very "new to the gospel too." He got up there and saw Brother Nash was there - our 93 year old WML, who had COVID, not sure if I ever talked about that one...- and started having a conversation with him across the pulpit about Sister Nash's health. It was actually so sweet though! :) Gare-bear is a legend.
O T R A S C O S A S :
One of the Sisters' twin got married and was in a state of distress for like 36 hours, and bought four dresses online. I don't think I've ever met someone who believe in retail therapy quite like she does. It was incredible. I just sat there sending people on Messenger the "Because of Him" video (obviously), as she kept spending all her savings.
THE SISTRICT:
Ruegner wanted to have a farewell lunch at our last district council of the transfer. She kind of appointed herself to make all the food, and then Campbell and I decided to celebrate her birthday that day, so that's how I convinced Ruegner to make the dinner for her own surprise party. It was pretty hype though! :)
T H E D O G S H E L T E R :
I actually went to California this week! The Sisters that cover the Keno branch (which goes into Cali) asked us to come do some service with them. We helped our this british lady named Georgine, who bought an old church and the most ghetto house of all time (that's RIGHT by the church) and is making it into a dog shelter...? IDK none of it made sense to me. Her house legit house no flowering and some of the walls are only partly there...? Anyways that was an experience, and that church's energy was not right. Don't send your dogs there.
W O O D C H U C K I N G :
We also moved some wood piled with the other sisters, we just loaded up the wood into a truck and then unloaded it at the new location. Anyway, while we were chucking wood Ruegner straight up broke a window on the shell of the truck. It really just shattered, the guy did not care at all, but Ruegner really did. She felt SO bad, and spent like 15 minutes sweeping it all up for him.
4 A.M. W A K E U P C A L L :
I was woken up in the pitch dark yesterday morning to Campbell saying, "Shelton, there was a pounding at our door, and now there's a man with a flashlight in our backyard." I apparently had slept through a lot, so I accessed the situation, and then said, "Well there's nothing we can do, so I'm just going to go back to sleep". I did not have time to feel scared I guess, anyways turns out it was the power company, because the whole streets power went out and they need us to move our car to get to our power box or something. IDK.
TRANSFER NEWS:
As I thought, the Klamath Falls Zone has been blown apart. Practically no one is staying, Campbell and I had a lesson go long last night and showed up at 7:45 to the Sisters house, when we got there the ZLs were outside, they had just given the transfer news to the other Sisters and all four were crying. Then they told us ours and Campbell was crying, and it was total anarchy. RIP the Klam Fam.
Anywho see y'all next week! Much much love from Klam-Tucky!

p.s. Sister Weeks (mission president's wife) took all the Sisters in the Zone to get Fro-Yo during interviews- because all of them but Campbell and I had been doing through it that transfer- and....it was quite the experience.
