Hey guys! I can't belive I'm already almost through my first transfer! Its going by so fast! I officially hit my one month mark in the field today!
On Tuesday, we did exchanges. I stayed in my area. We went and did service for this old lady. We mowed her lawn. She was super nice but not interested. We also had a lesson with the lady who's on date for baptism. Definitely didn’t feel like Halloween!
On Wednesday, we had a sisters conference in Eugene. We drove down with the other sisters in my zone. They had brunch for us, then we listen to a few speakers, then they gave us lunch. It was fun to get to know some of the other sisters. We came back to Corvallis and had a member dinner.
On Thursday, we went to the BOM class. Then we messaged a bunch of people. We knocked on a few doors before dinner and this lady let us in. She seemed nice but ended up bashing us.We got out of there fast. We had dinner at a members. We also went to the Chosen night that the other ward puts on.
On Friday, we had new missionary training and district counsel. For NMT, the sisters had planned this whole quest and it was funny. We all went to the Institute afterwards, ate lunch and played pool and ping pong. We then had an amazing lesson with a new person! She is so sweet and it was a miracle to find her! She just feels like something is missing and we were able to share our testimonies of the Book of Mormon. When we asked if she wanted one, she cried! She was so excited and I think she is really open to learning more!
On Saturday, it was pouring rain all day. We went to the farmers market but had no success. The day was long. We had this massive spider in our kitchen and we didn’t want to kill it. We complained to some elders and they told us to shoot it with a nerf gun. We actually have 3 in our apartment so we did.
Its been so cool to see the Lord's hand in every aspect of my life! We see so many miracles every day! I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
