Hey everyone! This week went by so fast! It was pretty good.
We went to Bandon on Monday. We had so much fun! We went to the Coquille River Lighthouse, then walked old town Bandon and got some lunch. Then we played games on a beach for a couple hours. It was so fun!
I didn't get to do a lot of missionary work on Tuesday because we were tied up with interviews all day. It was also Sister Cornelius birthday, so we got a cake and sang her happy birthday. My interview with President was pretty chill. I did tell him I wanted to be on a bike so guess we'll see next transfer! Us and the zone leaders loaded up into Presidents car and he drove us to President and Sister Hopkins house for a late lunch! The new mission nurse is so funny and she insisted on getting in the back. We tried to stop her and she goes, “Too late, I already farted on the seat.” We were all laughing so hard! Lunch was super fun! President drove us all back, then we came back to Winston and went to an early dinner. We had a lesson, then went on exchanges. I went with Sister Maile to their area. I definitely got the short end of the stick because their ac was broken and it was 100° that day, so their apartment was hot! And they had run out of toliet paper and had been using paper towels. I don't know why they didn't just stop and buy some toliet paper. But that was interesting!
Wednesday was good. I was with Sister Maile in Roseburg. We did some stuff, lots of studies and prep and contacting people. Also our app that we do all of our missionary work on was down all day Wednesday, Thursday and half of Friday, so that was frustrating. We got some really good tacos for dinner! We exchanged back and I was glad to be back at my apartment with actual toliet paper.
Thursday was fun! We went out to one of the little towns in our area. We visited some people, then went up to our friends house. She lives on this not well maintained road but it is so pretty! We helped her make some bake apples for a relief society activity that night. We went to a members for dinner, then to the relief society activity.
I had a good day on Friday too! We visited with a lot of members and shared a ton of messages about conference. We went on visits with a member of our ward. We had dinner with a sweet lady.
We helped clean the church on Saturday. We invited a ton of people to church, then got lunch at a little local place. We visited some members who haven't been to church in 30 years. Super nice, they gave us homemade grape jelly from grapes they had grown. We had a couple good lessons, had dinner with a super funny member of the ward. Then we had another lesson. We had an awesome little miracle happen on Saturday night! A lady had called us asking for some help mowing her lawn. She also said that she was lonely and wanted to make friends. So we invited her to church and she said she'd be there!!
Sunday was good! We went to church and had several friends show up! They had a linger longer, so that was fun! We came home and did some planning, visited some people and had a fun dinner!
General conference is this weekend! I love hearing the prophets and apostles speak and testify of Jesus Christ. Hope you are able to watch some of it!
I miss you all! Hope you have a fantastic week!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
