Heyo,
Wow, okay. Where do we start? Unfortunately, my GLORIOUS time in Klamtucky is being put to an end. 11 weeks was nowhere near enough, and I'm quite sad; but that's okay. I will say that me leaving is not for lack of trying though, some of you may know the legend that if you pack before transfer news, you'll end up staying. Well, I packed up a suitcase just for good measure. But I guess reverse psychology doesn't work on an omniscient Being. Here are a few of the things that are lemon juice in the cuts however, 1) we're being BLUE washed (aka Elders are taking over my beautiful area book). Which hurts more than words can describe. 2) It's now a Spanish area, right when I get yeeted out. 3) Sister Hawkins is coming to Klamath Falls right as I leave. 4) I'm leaving to go to Eugene. Which has been called Sodom and Gomora by a LITERAL Prophet of the Lord. I know I'm going to love it there, but I'm not ready to yet, I need my time to wallow about Klamath Falls. I'll be heading up to the Santa Clara 2nd Ward on Tuesday. :)
L A S T W E E K I N K L A M R E P O R T :
LORI: Not much different than usual. She was pretty interested in this lesson, we taught about Temples and Family History, and her son's - who was a member and passed away a few years ago - work is being done right now. So, she seemed fairly engaged. She also accidently called herself a Mormon at one point during the lesson and the SMIRK that was planted on Sister McCreedie- a clutch member who has been fellowshipping Lori for like a year- was incredible. Anywho, hopefully the Elders can crack her a bit.
ERIC: Man, are the new YSA missionaries in K-Falls going to be receiving an elect referral from us! (Our Zone Leaders are also getting white-washed... RIP Klamath) We taught him The Restoration this week and it went SOO good! He thought all of it made so much sense! He also told us he thinks that the spirit has been guiding him to meet with us for a while now. He told us he knows God put the ComeuntoChrist ads on his phone! Can't believe he's going to be the Klamath Falls YSA's first convert in years! :) Technology is such a gift, and I'm so lucky to be here as the work learns to use it!
OH YEAH, high-key forgot about this for a bit, but at Volleyball the ZLs and Eric disappeared for a bit; and when they came back one of the Elders told me that Eric was asking him some questions so they went and spontaneously taught him the plan! One of them told me it was the best Plan of Salvation lesson he had ever experienced. Eric is such a boss. So excited to see what the future has in store for him. Also he won some RocketLeague thing and now he's going to an invitational and it's a big deal! I hope the new Elders understand gaming! Haha.
JAMIE AND ANTHONY: Dread fills my soul already for this goodbye! :( We taught them the Word of Wisdom! They both agreed to live it, although they had a few more issues than I was ready for a 9 & 11 year old to have...but I love them, and am going to miss this family so much! So grateful for Joann and Elizabeth and their kids, and the tiny part I got to play in their story!♡
GARY! Ahhh this one will pain me as well. I love Gary, and he's finally out of quarantine so we got to see him. He looks like he is doing so much better! Such a legendary human being, everyone should have the opportunity to know him.
F U N S T U F F :
An anonymous kind women paid for all of us Sisters' food at a Chinese restaurant we went to! Super sweet, asked to be called "The Secret Mary" so that's legendary. We went to Chinese to get fortune cookies to tell the transfer predictions...low-key some of them were scary how right they were.
We went to a Farmer's Market to contact, and the Keno Sisters ended up getting bashed twice? Because they willingly chose to go up to the two booths about Jesus and strike up a conversation? We had to save them once. I saw those booths and dragged my comp away. One of the men also said, "There are a lot of snakes out today," as us Sisters walked by too! So that was fun, it'd been a while since I'd felt the hatred of the hard-hearted. It re-centered me.
Anywho! Off to go write some notes my the Elders! :) I refuse to let this area do anything but thrive.
