Looooving it out here









 We got three dinners on Monday. We still aren't allowed to eat with members, so we stuff it all in our mini fridge. Basically the best problem to have🍉🥗🍰


Wow we are EXTREMELY busy (busy=blessed). And we are so caught up in our missionary world that we forget what members think we do. We still get questions like, "Can you guys go out yet?" as we are literally r-u-n-n-i-n-g from appointment to appointment. People still say to us, with pity in their eyes, "Oh that is good that you have somewhere to be right now. It is great that you can be busy." Ah, so funny. I do know that it differs mission to mission. My boy in Argentina right now is quarantined for the next nine days. Send your prayers down to Buenos Aires West🙏🏻🌎

⚡⚡PLANNING ON GOING ON A MISSION?⚡⚡ First off, best decision ever. You will be forever changed if you let Him change you. Number two, get ready for chronic missionary pain. Literally everyone here has arthritis, bad knees, tweaked backs, and strained necks. No mission prep class prepares you for that part of the mission. Bye bye vitality. 

I still love it here💫 LONG LIVE DRAPER

Love,
Sister Hall:)

Pics: lunch with our leaders, hot cocoa from 7/11 because we just finished a brutal planning session, we live on the side of the mtn so we get to hike for exercise, cool balloon art, virtual church history tour.

The brain should be INside the head, right?

  It was a great week! Here are the notable things 1. General Conference. Eight hours of tv?! Yes please. I loved so many of the talks and just having time to remember what is truly important: Jesus Christ 2. A member gave us an Easter dinner and for dessert she gave us each one pound chocolate bunnies . We left them on a random doorstep down the street and ran .  3. We were watching general conference as a district, all happy and in la-la land, AND THEN suddenly they call Alvin F Meredith "Tripp" to be a general authority??? That is my mission president. Ah no! So we had a mission wide zoon call and we all cried and went through the 7 stages of grief. He is leaving in June. Never forget Tripp . He is an amazing person. I have never met someone who cares so much about my true conversion to Christ. 4. We saw a dog with its brains coming out of its skull. We saw the literal brain and blood. Everyone acted like it was nothing as the three legged dog was walking around, begging t...

Candy Necklace review

  Hello I bought a candy necklace  I was so excited to wear it but when I tried to put it on, my HEAD WAS TOO BIG. I couldn't fit it over this big noggin. Genetics are working against me I am training again! My companion's name is Sister Westbrook and she is from California. She is the second of five. My favorite things about her are that she is an amazing story-teller, decisive, outgoing, and iconic. Overall she is super cool and I am blessed to be able to welcome her into the mission! Also, she said she doesn't like food with taste. We eat every meal together, but rarely the same meal We spent some time knocking doors this week. The usual way this goes down is we message a neighbor who lives next to a person who has not yet accepted the message of Christ's restored gospel. We ask the neighbor if they would accompany us to knock in the door. Usually they say yes, unless they have good information for why we shouldn't. Then we knock on the door and introduce ourselv...

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...
