Hey everyone! This week was good and stressful! I also hit my one year as a missionary, which is crazy!
Monday was a blast! We went to President and Sister Hopkins house and watched the thing for President Nelsons birthday. Then President Hopkins told us about one of his brand new baby cows and told us to take our truck out on their property to see it. So we loaded the truck up with sisters and drove over to see the calf. It was so cute! We had dinner there. They make the best burgers! Then we had district council. It was a fun evening.
Tuesday we had a leadership meeting. It was in Roseburg this time, which was so nice! I saw Sister Chatwin, which made me so happy!! She brought me flowers and candy corn for my birthday, which was so sweet of her. I miss her so much! Just a few more changes and such. A big push for obedience. Sister Chatwin and I cannot sit next to each other. We are terrible and laugh at everything!
Wednesday and Thursday were busy and a little stressful. The elders in a different ward were teaching a lady and she was supposed to get baptized this week. But they found out she lives in our ward and wanted to get some lessons scheduled with us. We had to find members for those last minute lessons they scheduled and all of it was stressful. But we had some awesome dinners both nights! And everything got figured out for the baptism!
We had a funeral on Friday for a lady in the ward. I think I've been to more funerals here in Winston than I have in my entire life! A member gave us a 25lbs watermelon they grew in their garden. It is so good! We had some good lessons, helped decorate the church for a dance and went on exchanges. Sister Lefler came with me in Winston!
I was so tired on Saturday. And it was just one of those days where no one was home or wanted to visit and everything canceled. So I had to figure that out. But we did some good stuff. We went to an awesome stake relief society event. We had a couple friends come and they loved it!
Sunday was good! We went to church, then visited with some super fun members who likes to sing hymns with us. We did some planning, then had dinner with some members.
I've been watching the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square world tour and it is so good! The songs are all focused on finding hope in Christ. You should definitely try to watch one!
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
