Hey guys!
This week was not normal at all. We woke up Tuesday morning with a text asking if we could both get on a call with President. My comp, Sister Richins was leaving to Springfield. Then I had a call with President and he told me the Lord has called me to train! I was a little shocked because I've only been out for 6 weeks!
Wednesday was also super odd. We had a lesson with the lady who's on date for baptism. We came home and did more packing and cleaning. Our apartment looks a lot better than what it did when I first arrived so hopefully my trainee appreciates all the effort we have put into it.
On Thursday, we had to be in Eugune by 7:30, which means we had to leave by 6:30, so we had to be up by 5:30. It was rough. We got all of Sister Richins stuff packed in the car. I was staying the night in Eugene with another sister because we were both picking up our trainees the next day. We picked up another sister who is also training. We all had dinner at a members house in the area. We all came back to one apartment called the Shack. We pulled all the mattresses into the living room and made a mega bed. So there were 5 sisters sleeping in this tiny apartment. It was a ton of fun though!
Friday was a little nerve-wracking. We got up and went to the church for a training meeting. Then we waited at the church till they arrived! My tainees name is Sister Flake. She is super nice! We were at the church all day for new missionary stuff. Then we were finally able to drive back to Corvallis. We made it back to Corvallis safely and Sister Flake unpacked. Its really weird training but obviously President thought I was ready.
On Saturday, we had new missionary training, which was odd because technically I'm still in training. Then we had District Counsel. There is one other elder training in the zone and a few other missionaries that were transferred in, but for the most part, its the same missionaries. We ate lunch at the Institute and played ping pong. We then had a service so we went and cleaned a lady's house. We went grocery shopping and went to a member dinner.
On Sunday, we went to church. It was good. There was a really pretty rainbow when we were headed to the church. We came home, did some weekly planning, then dinner at a members. It was a chill day.
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! Remember to thank God for everything!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
