The home owners have a golden doodle and we love him

 Things are really picking up in my area because people are responding to our text messages more regularly. It makes us really happy when people make an effort to text us back.


The highlight of the week was doing a service project with my zone, which is about 20 people! We had to carry rolls of sod from pallets to two backyards. You can't tell from the pictures, but my biceps are huge now. 

One wonderful resource the mission provides is therapy. I was not emotionally prepared to be a quarantine missionary, so I am going to meet with a therapist to develop the skills to be able to flourish in this environment. We are mortal, so we will all feel pain, but we do not need to suffer.

Another highlight was biking. We bike to our church building often for a change of scenary and the wifi #pioneer47. For a few days, no one was allowed to enter the building, so we had to work under the pavillion. We did zoom calls as it was getting dark and cold. It was fun roughing it.

The rules have been loosened so that, if invited, we can enter in members houses and be there for 20 minutes! Masks required, social distancing mandatory, no meals, but we get to see people!! People are the best!!!!

Also i love my companion❣❣❣ which is good because we spend a lot of time together

Miracles

  We had miracles on Sunday  People that we are teaching went to church like CRAZY. The most amazing instance was when a girl who is at her dad's house in another city 50% of the time went to the ward over there. Big win because her dad doesn't like the church. She is 13 and making these decisions on HER OWN!  On Friday, we drove to a guy's house that told us we could stop by anytime. But when we stopped by he wasn't home. But as we were driving away we saw him in the far off distance in his backyard. SO we yelled his name from the other side of the yard and climbed down the retaining wall and started teaching him  Less than 10 days. I am going to soak this all up. Love you Sister Hall

Hello, Well I was sitting on the plane just relishing in my last moments of no expectations. I thought to myself, "enjoy this while you can, because it is going to be non-stop work, obedience and strict schedules for the next fifteen months." Hahaaaa what a joke. Expectations met reality and it hurt a little. I'm in a trio with two Samoan sisters serving in the Samoan area. We are stationed in West jordan and the area we cover is bigger than my actual mission! Sister Tofaeono is my trainer and my other comp's name is Sister Mariner. Sister T is very understanding, chill and extremely genuine. I love that about her. She is so chill in fact that when i ask for guidance or about the rules, she says, "do what ever you want." And sister mariner is beautiful and mellow. They are both from Samoa and they speak Samoan as their first language. They speak it to each other a lot so i am kinda in my own world A lot of the time. One thing that is weird for me is that the...
