Hermana Soh's Mission Emails

Woohoo! I made it out of training! Now that my first two transfers are over, I guess I know everything (I absolutely do NOT). This week again was filled with a lot of lows for me, transfers brought a whole lot of anxiety into my life and it made me not feel good at all. But I suppose that just means that the highs are coming!  Wednesday was the day! The day we found out what would happen for the next six weeks, where we would go, who we would be our companions. Normally this happens on Tuesday but it got pushed back this time. Wednesday was also Sister Jacobs' birthday! We went to the store and bought her a few snacks (all we could really afford with our meager missionary budgets) and a poster board that we made a card out of. We decorated the card towards the end of the night and ran over to their hotel to give it to her and look at what Transfers would bring. It was so fun and such a good memory and I am not doing it any justice by writing it in this email. Transfer news was this...

Woohoo! I've reached the end of my training! Well, almost. Later in the week, my second transfer will end and I'll officially no longer be a greenie. This week was filled with a lot of things! Very different from other weeks. Elder Peter Johnson (of the Seventy) and his wife Stephanie Johnson came and did a mission tour this week. We bought flowers for one of our friends Wednesday morning I washed some of my blankets, including a soft blanket that has funnily enough become my security blanket and I felt like a little kid who couldn't do anything without it. Maybe I should talk to someone about that. Hmm. Later that night, we met this guy named Perfecto. He is the Most hyperactive person I have ever met. He talks super fast and says so much. We tried to teach him the Restoration, and in the span of a half hour, had officially taught him half a point. There are eight points to the Restoration that we have to talk about. Hermana Messick thinks he's great. And I'm sure ...

  Hello hello! I'm not going to hide it from any of you, this week was really hard for me. I felt emotionally and spiritually dead but at the end of the week, Heavenly Father reminded me that he knows and loves me and that helped a lot.  Me with my best friend! Wednesday started off with part two of my emotional breakdown! (Part one was on Sunday) Basically the morning was spent crying and trying to get myself up to beat with going out and doing missionary stuff. The afternoon was good, we had some really good lessons. Then in the evening after dinner, we went to the youth activity because one of our new members was there and we wanted to support her. They were playing pickleball and I have to be in the right mood to play anything even remotely sport like. Today, I was not in the mood. But one of the leaders kept pushing me to play and instead pushed me over the edge so we had to make a quick escape so I could collect myself in the car.  Thursday we had some missionary me...

Ack! I took a super long nap (supposed to be 1 hour and ended up being 2&1/2) and didn't have time to write a real email this week. Don't worry, next week you'll get a double feature! I love you all!  Hermana Soh
