High Desert on top

 Wow it was a crazy week! We had 12 lessons planned for Tuesday because we were told that we didn't have to pick up our trainees until Wednesday night....but on Monday night we got a call from the assistants and they said that we were coming down to salem for two days instead. So that smoked like 15 lessons right there.

But I got to run it up in Salem with my boy elder Blackwell! He's so funny I hope were Comps at some point. So we were in his area for a day and a half but he had just got there too and he didn't have his area book so we just knocked for 10 hours. But it was a good time salem is so golden we found a bunch of people for them to teach. 

So then Wednesday night we drive up to Newberg to pick up our trainees and ut was a good time they took videos and stuff but I haven't seen them yet. I'm with Elder Torres he's from park city and he's a dawg. 

I had to move apartments because bend got four more Elders but this new one is so nice we got two bathrooms and two showers which is a steal out here. But we didn't get back to our area until Thursday afternoon. Oh and also I got a new phone number so we had to tell all of our friends that which was mega annoying. Not to mention is was the sisters number so now we get all these texts from the members calling us sisters. 

Anyways something that president told us in the Trainor meeting was that we aren't allowed to knock with the trainees....I love knocking. Idk what I'm gonna do but I'm gonna email pres tonight and see if I can still do it a little bit everyday still.

We had a couple people at church on sunday which was hype, our boy mark pulled up he's a dawg. He really liked the service and hopefully when we meet with him this week we can set a baptismal date with him. 

Yeah it's kinda crazy right now cause I'm trying to meet all the sisters friends that im teaching now... we have like 80 green dots now which is just people that were teaching so were mega busy and I'm doing my best to teach elder Torres while also trying to figure all this out. 

But all of it has just added to my testimony just knowing that we can always lean on jesus christ when we need him! Last week was rough and this next one will be too but I'm excited that I get to do the Lord's work every day! Being a missionary is so fun, I know it's really far away but I might end up extending my mission so I can do this as long as I can!

Hope yall have a great week!
