Yooooo what's up everybody!!! Alright so I apologize but I am realizing I will definitely not have the time to write nice big elaborate emails every week so we are gonna shoot for every 2 weeks haha!!! It seriously is just so crazy how busy we are out here in Molalla OR. We pack our schedules every day to the brim and are putting in the work so I'm loving it!! I feel like this week we have really started to see some awesome results from the work. So here's some highlights from the past couple weeks!!! • So we met with this guy named Jerry. Jerry is a super nice guy and we have been doing yardwork for him. So he left the church when he was 19 and has been inactive for about like 50 years. And he is a great guy but he has been doing a lot of soul searching and doesn't really feel ready to commit to read the BOM. But we had a really good chat with him about it so hopefully he starts opening up to us more! • So with the Spanish side of things it's been really pickin...

Hey everyone!!! So this is my first official email in the field and it feels crazyyyyy!!! Alright so here are some of the highlights of the past couple weeks!!  FIRST DAYS First day I flew in and met my AMAZING mission president and some people from my online MTC district it was so crazy to see them in person it was awesome!!! And that first day was seriously so fun. It was just a bunch of new missionaries hanging out at the mission home haha it was great. The next day was so fun too! We spent all day learning and preparing and getting things ready to meet our new comps!!!  TRAINER/AREA So my trainer is Elder Ordyna and he is just awesome!! He is super chill and easy going but is also such a hard worker and dedicated to this work! The area we are in right now is Molalla which is just this tiny town like an hour south of Portland. We have had soooooo much work to do!! So we whitewashed into this area and are also double covering the Molalla ward in english and the entire Spanis...
