Hello beautiful friends and family!!! What a week it's been! A week full of 90 degree weather and not a single drop of rain! We received our transfer news last night! I will be staying as a social media leader but moving to Santa Clara to be a sister training leader! I'm sad to leave Springfield but so excited for Santa Clara! I've heard the ward is absolutely amazing! This news was honestly the most surprising news I've had! There are one other set of FHAM sisters, sister Higgins and Mitchell, besides sister Murdoch and I. We are all just switching around! I'll be with Sister Higgins and Sister Murdoch and Mitchell will be together! Us four are definitely becoming so close after serving together the last couple transfers! Good news is that I'll still be around Murry in the office 6/7 days of the week. I love Oregon but my goodness it just gets weirder and weirder the longer I am here! It all started with a man named John.The other FHAM sisters met him at Walmar...

Hey hey! What's up everyone?! How has everyone been doing? It has been a couple weeks! We didn't have P day last week because we got to go to the Portland temple on Friday! It was absolutely beautiful! It has been a great but tough last couple of weeks! That's life though right? We have good days and bad days, good weeks and bad weeks but it's a great life! Something I have learned over the course of my mission is choosing to be grateful, especially when everything seems to be going wrong! I know, easier said than done. But taking a minute to list 5 things you are grateful for in a moment of anxiousness, fear, or sadness makes a world of a difference!  Aside from some of the rough times, GOD IS SO GOOD! We have had some really great opportunities and I feel so blessed! As always, I love being a missionary!  Our friend Steve who lives in Newport is doing SO good! We have been meeting with him over zoom when we are not able to drive to the coast! He is s...

Hello beautiful people! How is everyone doing? How's life going? Can you believe it's summer time already? Goodness gracious! I hope everyone is enjoying themselves!! We had a great week here in Springfield Oregon, full of rain but I guess that's how we like it here?! This week, like every other week, went by in a blink of an eye! We had one thing after another to keep time going and of course to keep us on our toes!  To start off the week we had some filming appointments set up! On our way to both of the appointments they both cancelled which is unusual. Sister Murdoch and I were a little bummed but quickly readjusted our schedule! We decided to first go inactive door knocking. We found ourselves looking at a list of names and felt guided to a man named Kevin. As we walked up to his door we heard a lot of arguing and yelling. We weren't sure if we should knock but decided we had been lead there for a reason. We knocked, Kevin answered the door, and we saw a lot of comm...
