I'm here!

Alright hello! I am in Central Point, just next to the Medford Temple. I can look out my window basically and see the temple. It is soooo beautiful. We get to go this transfer, I guess we get to go every other transfer. So I got into my area about 7:30pm on Tuesday night. My comp is Sister Abbott and she is from Lincoln, Nebraska! Yes mom she is very bubbly and happy just as President told you! I love you and she is so funny! She is training me really good! Sorry if this email is bad, but I was told that I get an hour, but since we had to go to the Library, we only get 30 minutes so sorry if my thoughts are all jumbled. Well mission work is not what I expected, but I love it so much! We tract and go knock doors about 10 hours a week. People can be rude and just slam the door or say that we are false, but I love the times when we pray so hard about finding the elect and it happens! We talked to this sweet man, Jay Taylor and he just needed friend so it felt really good to be able to talk with him for a bit! We are teaching a lady named April, he husband Derrick has been inactive for several years, but she is having the lessons taught. She has a baptismal date of May 15th, tonight we are going to tell her that she is ready and hopefully we can set it solid! Wow they are an awesome family! They are early 20s with cute baby boy named Brady, he is 5 months old such a cutie pie! Then we are also teaching other less active families and hopefully we will talk to a man that we met while tracting. He just got out of jail, but the message that we shared to him about being forever with our families really stuck out to him, cross your fingers for me on Tuesday night! Okay so I am serving in 2 wards and they are awesome! THe members feed us for dinner every night, I am praying that I don't gain weight! They just like to fix the best meals for us! AHHH! In one of the ward they made me stand up so everyone could see me and then they had me come and bear my testimony, wow I wasn't ready for that, but it was still okay, I wasn't too nervous! haha! We are teaching this 16 year old girl the new member lessons-- she was just baptized last saturday. She is so cool and knows so much about the gospel! I have loved seeing the change in people when they know that the gospel can bless there lives FOREVER!! So today in my pday and will always be on monday. Mom- we usually email around 9:30am but this morning we woke up and did our activity early so this is why it is so late, so look for it around then next week. Alright today was AWESOME!! Dad you will be proud of me! We woke up at 530am and we went on a bike ride from Central Point to Ashland it is 17 miles one way, so I did a total of 34 miles today! Oh wow it was really hard and my bottom is really sore, but it was beautiful! It is so green here! It kinda makes me sick looking at all the green! The bike ride was cool and we went with my district. My district is funny! Most of them are from Utah ahhaha! We also have the Zone Leaders in our district. They were nice today and they stopped and waited cause we were kinda slow. It took us over 5 hours to do it, ridiculous! I am running every morning and getting into shape though from all the crap I eat! We live in a garage in the back of the Baskins house who is one of the members of our ward. We have a kitchen, table area, bathroom and our beds in the garage haha. I hear that this is one of the nicer places, and I believe them! If you would like to send me mail, I can receive it at there house. The address is 928 Mendolia Way Central Point, OR 97502. So you can send them there for at least 6 weeks that way it doesn't get caught up at the mission home and stuff. Mom to answer your questions in your email Did you ask about getting reimbursed for your travel? How is your suitcase? Were you able to fix it? Where are you living? How is your stomache? I will send your watch and spray this week. Do you need anything else? love you, again!! I got reimbursed and they put money on my card- I get 140 a month. Suitcase is okay, got it open but haven't really looked into what I need to do. My stomache is fine, much better. Thank you for getting me the watch and spray, I don't think I need anything else. I am attaching some pics!! Here is my comp and me on our bike ride, plus the elders in my district. We are the only sisters in the district, but we have 2 other sisters in the zone! I love it here so much!!! I am praying for all of you :) Be good! Cannon- sorry about your games! Chase- Be a good brother! Crew- be the happy little bear okay? I loved talking to you boys :) I miss you tho! Dad and mom- I will write you letters, I don't have much time, but thank you for everything. Will you try and fill mine and Cedars dinner plate with a non member or less active member-- that is something that I know you can do! Brighten- thanks for the Glee updates! I love hearing about that haha! I don' t have time to read it now, but I will get to it later tonight!! I love that I am hear helping people come unto Christ, what a joy it is to be here and serve! I have learned to love unconditionally and I am soooo happy :)! Mom I am glad that you got to talk to pres, he is awesome! I love being around him and sister macdonald! He showed me the text he sent to the Dixons haha! I feel so much peace being here and know that Oregon needs me! I already see the help that I am giving and can't wait to just give my whole heart to them :) Be happy and safe and i hope to hear from you all soon :)!! xoxoxoxoxo
