Can you believe we get to Skype in
almost a month! CrazY!
On Tuesday we had a Missionary
leadership committee meeting with president! It was my first meeting since I am
a new STL and it was a remarkable experience! We as missionaries get to help
decide rules and work with president on major decisions for the mission. I love
president Russell for how he runs this mission. He very much lets us missionaries
have a say in things and also lets us make the choices of where the line is. He
lays out the rules but he allows room for us to use our agency. It can be
dangerous to do that but that’s where we got to make sure we are exactly
obedient to everything we do and keep that trust we have with him.
So awesome news! We get to Skype on Christmas
for 90 minutes.
Holidays are a lot more laid back
too with P. Russell and I feel we get to do more things together with members
and missionaries so it will be some awesome holidays here coming up.
So anyways, the week has been super
crazy! So Tuesday we had that leaders meeting, then Wednesday we had to plan on
teaching what we learned as leaders to the zone. So we had to prep for that and
include our teaching appointments. I testify that as we are obedient and have
priorities by the spirit the lord will provide us the time to do all we need to
do. We got all we could done and it was a miracle. We for sure did not do it
alone. Plus we have a lot of sisters struggling with health problems and so
this whole week we have been helping them out. Oh and that was also the wards
trunk or treat chili cook off. You saw the pics of being the book of Mormon and
the bible and we also got to be the chili judges. We had to taste 10 different
chilis and it was awesome! So many good ones and others were just interesting!
:)
Thursday President came to our
meeting and we and the zone leaders and AP's got to teach and it was a awesome
meeting. That is one thing I will miss is how strong the spirit is in
missionary meetings. There is nothing like it and it just is the best
ever!
Friday we had a crazy day too! We
had to do our weekly planning, and it was Halloween so we had to be in by 6 pm
after dinner. It was crazy! The zone leaders at night told the zone a scary
story that was pretty legit. It was fuN! So overall we had a good Halloween
having a party together in our apt.
Oh this is crazy! So i think last week
i explained how we got locked out of our apt due to leaving the keys in the
house and shutting the door by accident when it was locked... And how our
neighbor who is spider man had to break in.
Well silly Sister Fletcher forgot
the keys were in her coat and didn’t take her coat that day and we got locked
out again...... It was bad. First a sister tried to break in and a card and
bobby pins were not working. So we called the ZL's and they tried and
nothing....
So we went to our dinner APP and
they had a small latter that might work to go in from the second floor window
that was open. Well.... The elders were too short haha more the latter was too
short so we called our neighbor spider man! He came to the rescue and helped us
out. Remember that these guys are college guys.... So we asked him how much is
was to rock climb at the gym he goes to us sisters thought about checking it
out! Well Spider man totally asked us on a date and wanted to take me and my
comp. We said there are 6 of us that want to go at a time to avoid
awkwardness... Plus it was weird because the elders were right there with us
hahaha I LOVE OREGON!
Anyways the guy broke in and we were
saved! So this happened Saturday and then yesterday was great! We had an
awesome dinner app with some amazing members! So guess what they fed us and
guess who requested this meal.....
SISTER FLETCHER REQUESTED TO HAVE
SISTER OLSENS FISH!!!!!!!!
Sister Olsen fed us the best White
Cod fish and yes the one who despises sea food had this fish. and I had seconds
too! I can explain how I love it but its the only fish now I will ever eat so
if you want me to ever eat fish again you have to get sister Olsen's recipe and
make it how she does.
So life here is K Falls is great. No
snow but it is 30 degrees outside some days and we are starting to get frost
which means it might snow this week or the next we shall see.. pray for me
about this snow thing. Sister Arizona don’t do snow.
I love sister McCleary tons! I am
learning so much from her and we have a blast here. It was rough at first i
must say with changing new ways of doing missionary work and new area and such.
But She is amazing and I feel i am more humble and willing with her. I just am
learning a lot and know there is still much for me to learn here with her.
LOVE YOU ALL!! Hope you have a great
weeK! :)
LOVE SISTA FLETCH
