Hey everyone! I hope it's been a good week! This week was a bit of a party so let's get into it! Monday was pretty chill. One of the sweet ladies I teach invited me to her sons birthday party on wednesday which was so beyond sweet but Ill get more later. Tuesday was pretty chill as I had my usual schedule but I did mess up pretty badly. We finished a lesson in english class so I offered some gummy bears as a reward, as I tend to do. Unfortunately, I forgot that everyone I was teaching does not eat pork or pork products (such as gelatine) due to religion. Oops.... Twas a bit awkward but they were very sweet about it. I also learned there is another service missionary joining that class and got to meet him. He's very nice so it was fun to chat for a bit. Wednesday was mostly chilling with family so yee. I did go to the party though with my mom. The people were so beyond sweet and inviting and my gosh I just love them sooooo much! We had some tasty Arabic food and desserts wh...

Hey y'all! Hope you are all doing well. This week, I am officially one month in which feels a bit crazy to be honest. Had some fun stuff this week so let's get into it! Zone conference last week was pretty great, just really long. It was lovely to meet more of the people in the larger zone. The main focus was the plan of salvation and the importance of acting. There was a whole thing with a rock and how it has to be acted upon and how we should not be rocks! I did think we would be served dinner at the end though so going through the whole thing hungry then being given a cookie was a tad disappointing but now I know what to expect next time. Monday was my first real day and it was really cool! I started with some resource finding for refugees in the morning as well as some conversation practice with a lovely lady. I then headed to a mission lunch which of course went over time but it was great to meet some more new missionaries! I then helped with some physical therapy for a b...

Hey y'all! It's been a really good week! I was able to start some of my service sites, go out with the sisters, and give my mission talk. Let's get into it! Monday was pretty chill. I mostly chilled with my sister Naomi in the pool but was then told I could start two of my service sites the next day. I was unfortunately unable to start one due to the physical therapist being sick however I got to go help with my first English class! I was able to do some one on one work with a woman who only speaks arabic. She doesn't really know how to read or write in either language so it was a bit tricky but was so cool! She is very kind and I am excited to get to help her! Wednesday was another fairly chill day. I basically just cleaned a lot due to boredom to be honest. Thursday I got to go to family haven for orientation. It was really great and now I'm just waiting on my background test. Fun fact, ive now had 3 in the last 10 months due to EMT, Argentina prep, and now fami...

Hello everyone! It's been another week so I am back! This week was really great as I was able to figure out which service sites I'm going to be serving at, do some service, and have my first two temple shifts! So, this week started with some lovely tours to service sites I was interested in. I had those on Monday and Wednesday and was very lucky to get to go with the Brummers and some new sisters. I ran into some friends at some of the sights which was lovely! (If you're one of them, my apologies for not being able to chat. We had to keep touring.) While there were many lovely places, I have decided to serve at Utah Valley Refugees, Family Haven, and the Community Rehabilitation Clinic. I won't bore you with the details but basically, I will be teaching English and music at UVR, doing some childcare and minor emotional help at the FH, and assisting with physical therapy at the CRC. I likely won't be starting until later this week or next week due to figuring out sc...

Hello everyone! I've completed the first week of the mission so yay! Not much happened this week as it was at home MTC. If you are unaware, I have been shifted to a service mission due to medical reasons so I only had one week of MTC so I now get to start! YAY!!! I have some interviews/tours set up for this next week with some service sites so I am very excited. Most of my top picks have already agreed to at least let me tour so it's going to be a very fun week. I have also already been set apart as a temple worker and will be working in the laundry on Thursdays and ordinances on Saturdays at the Orem Temple, which is my favorite temple so I am absolutely pumped! I'm also planning to go and teach with the teaching missionaries at least a night every week so that is going to be very exciting! As I said before, not much happened this last week but I did still have a few fun experiences. I got to meet my district as well as my advisors and they are all very lovely. I particul...
