Hello From Emmett!
This small town reminds me of Oklahoma! Tons of open land and is pretty! So we are working with 2 wards! The East Valley Ward and The South Slope Ward! We are at Church from 8:30 in the morning to 2:30 in the afternoon! I thought that it would be hard but it flies by. I do love working with both wards. They are so excited to do missionary work and they want to help in any way possible. Starting this Saturday, we are having a Pancake Breakfast for every 1st Saturday of the month to help the ward bring friends and family to allow more missionary activities. This is in the South Slope ward!
We live in the South Slope boundaries with a member her name is Sister P! She is a super sweet lady! Her husband lives in the Assisted Living which she visits every day! We pretty much live smack dab in the middle of Emmett which is pretty nice to see the old buildings.
The weather has been really nice.. not too cold. There are times when we don't wear our coats. Last night and this morning it has been raining! LOVE IT!!
So my companion is Sister Duncan and she is from Alaska. She is almost done with her mission! She is sad and kinda freaking out that she doesn't know what to do after her mission... not looking forward to that day.
So I honestly cannot remember which day, but we were having a hard time finding people.. no one would answer the door or if they did they would just say have a nice day.. lol! I said and little prayer - we were finishing up before lunch and knocked on this last door. Lauren was her name and she said "Hi, Sisters. Come on in.." What ~ no way! We visited for a bit and she was a less active member and so was her mother but the husband and kids weren't. They were super sweet and explained that they stopped going to church because there were some things that they didn't agree with. Anyway, they are moving and said that they would love some help... so that could be a blessing to help them!!
One day we were tracting and walking up to this house and we heard a gun shot and the cat ran out of the house.. so we decided to not bother! lol!!!
We also did a District service project! It was so fun! So in our ward we have a lady ~ Mary, she has been investigating the church for over a year now. She was going to be baptized at one point but has started smoking again. She just got out of rehab and still wants to continue towards baptism. She loves the church! Anyway, we raked her yard! There were 10 missionaries and we spent two and a half hours but still didn't finish.
There is a lot of work here to do! The members are a big help and they enjoy fellowshipping!
I love you ALL!!
Called to Serve
She enjoys being able to eat with members! She had only been able to do that twice while serving on Temple Square.
She gave me a list of things she would like me to send her because there is no Walmart in her town. Only an Albertson's! $$$$$
In another email she wanted to make sure I let you know that she loves and misses you all!!!
Let me know if you would like her address!
