Hello everybody,
I hope you're having the best week! It's been a great one here in K-Falls! It actually rained! TWICE! I wore my rainboots on Saturday! I'm also convinced the seasons changed overnight, because I woke up on Friday and all the sudden needed to dig into my suitcase for all my sweaters. I'm actually sitting in my winter coat typing this email.
Kind of had a few moments that let me know I'm somewhat of a seasoned missionary, because Hansen keeps being shook by all the people we're meeting; and I don't even feel phased anymore. She keeps telling me she's never met so many weird people in her life, but nothing will ever phase me after the people I encountered on the Oregon Coast.
U P D A T E S O N M Y P E O P L E :
Jamie! We had our first official lesson with Jamie this week (Anthony's older sister, age 11 wants to be baptized). She's so cute! Awww! We taught the Restoration and it was so good! She's so sweet, and said she'd read the BOM we gave her! She also told us that she snuck into the bathroom at her dad's house so she could watch church!! (yeah idk the dad might be low-key anti-religion in general...). Which was VERY faithful of her to do, especially considering it was stake conference...
Oh also... I talked with Joann and Elizabeth about picking out a date for baptism, and told them that the biggest thing would be waiting for church attendance. AND guess what? THEY'VE BEEN TO CHURCH LIKE 10 TIMES! They'd been going for like 3 months before I got here, and the other Sisters just never marked it..? Anywho... we've been talking with Elizabeth about a date and it's looking like it'll be Nate's Birthday!! (October 16th, for those of you that don't know) But nothing is official yet, and it's right after transfers which is sad; but it's fine because I'm going to spend the rest of my mission here. Probs not, but we can hope.
Gary! Oh Gary. Gary has COVID, please keep in your prayers. We love Gary, and hope he gets feeling better soon.
We went with the other Sisters to Georgine's again; and Sister Hansen was once again shook by this lady's life decisions. Georgine is so interesting, she seems SO normal, but her life is insane. She bought some creepy church and wants to make it a dog sanctuary... and she's living in a house that barely has walls. IDK, to each their own I guess. Her accents pretty dope too, think she told me she's from London.
S U N D A Y :
What a day, okay let's see, where to start.
We woke up to a referral, who we have a lesson (over Zoom) with on Thursday. :)
Then we went to Ward Council, and I once again asked for a Huddle, and it low-key happened this time. I guess you really can bother people to bend to your will! :) Our 93 year old WML is still VERY confused by it, so the work is not done; BUT it's progress.
THEN just to top off this day, we got a messenger call from CAMPBELL AND COCA!! They had a referral for us!! Have you ever got to be on a call with three of your companions? 12/10 recommend. Coca told me I'd created a Shelton Jr. in Campbell, which is very flattering.:) It was so cool to talk to them, and we'll probably be calling them again soon about Anthony's baptism!:)
Anyway yeah, Sunday was an amazing day, all that happened, and we still had time to get a mild case of food poising and throw-up a few times; but the work of the Lord stops for no illness. ;)
Last night I got asked by one of the APs if I'd be willing to lead the music for Zone Conference, the only issue is, I never learned how to do that. So this should be fun! :) If anything, it'll be wildly entertaining for everyone there.
Much Love,
Sister Shelton ♡
