Transfer 3, semana 4

Hello everyone! 


Another week has passed here in Idaho. Somehow. It's been so fast! 

I started a new medication this week that really threw me all out of whack and poor Hermana Greenwood is a true angel for dealing with me so well. 

Wednesday was our first day of being in a new district council. We used to be in a council of just is and the Hermanas in American Falls, but we've been combined with another district. In our meeting, we set the goal to get 70 lessons with a member participating in it as a district. This meant we would all have to get 15 that week, when normally we get two! It was a stretch, but a good goal.

Thursday was the first day of my new medication, and I was all out of sorts. I felt a weird mix of hungry and anxious and couldn't figure out which it was. I ate a lot of dried mango that day. We also cleaned out our old apartment which the housing coordinators said would take 30 minutes. It took 5 hours. But we got better beds out of it. And a toaster, broom, and vacuum, so I'm happy about it.

On Saturday, I walked a mile and three quarters at the track in the morning. I went to the doctor and noticed that I've been getting fed REALLY well, and should probably start walking faster at the track. We exercise every morning for half an hour and usually I would shuffle around the track three or four times, but I'm hoping that soon I can do two miles.

Sunday I was still feeling out of sorts, thankfully we don't have to talk to anyone during the church service, so I could be my little bundle of anxiety and not be rude. I know that the medicine will start working soon so I just have to tough it out, but it's a doozy.

Monday was my little bother's birthday! He's a big inspiration to me about being a missionary so I was happy to celebrate him. We had exchanges here and I went to Pocatello with Sister Hale. She's been in the mission for four weeks and she's doing amazing at it! We saw a castle type house up on the mountain, and talked to this guy named Jeff who apparently is a star on the discovery channel! The people you meet in Idaho. I also met a woman from Germany who was in a big tour group, and was able to impress her with the one German word I still know, "wirklich". Unfortunately, all the rest of my German has been replaced with Spanish.

Well, that's really it. Thanks for sticking with me! Talk to you again next week!

Transfer 4, semana 4

Hello hello! Another week has passed here in the beautiful town of Aberdeen. Lots of the farmers started harvesting their grain and potatoes and sugarbeets aren't far behind. School also started and summer is drawing to a close. This has made missionary work a little more difficult but we press on! Wednesday we had District Council in Pocatello, and afterwards we were told there were free desk lamps at a tire shop in town so we went there in search of light! We didn't find desk lamps, they were floor lamps, but we did meet Rex. He was kind and funny, and even gave us money to buy lunch. We got a picture with him and I'll attach it below. Thursday we talked with a lot of members in an effort to find more people to teach. Our teaching pool is a little small right now, and we want to expand it. I got to pet a taxidermied bear (I love soft things) and hold many kittens. We had a lot of good meetings where we got a lot of information on the area. Friday we were at the church to ...

¡Bienvenido! Welcome to my emails! Introduction

Hello there! I'm Hermana Michelle Soh. I'm a missionary serving for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS church) in Pocatello, Idaho. I began on February 6th, 2023 and will serve for eighteen months (until around August 2024). I have been assigned to teach and serve in the Spanish language, except as I begin my mission, I hardly know Spanish! This blog will contain the emails that I send home to my family and friends once a week. My parents will be uploading the emails for me, meaning that whatever happens on this blog, I will not see until I am done serving. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there is a lot of terminology that people who are not part of our church might not understand; some of these terms are listed below, and we will try to update them as we think of them. If you have questions, reach out to me at my email, find missionaries in your area, or go to https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng  to find answers. Hermana- Spanish...

Transfer 5, semana 1

It's a new transfer! I have left the small town of Aberdeen for another area, Paul, ID. My companions are Hermana Beard (again!) and Hermana Cox. Hermana Beard is in her last transfer, and will leave us a week early to go home. Hermana Cox is fresh off the plane from the Mexico City MTC, and is doing a great job. I'm the only one in the trio who can drive, since you can't drive your first or last transfer. But we've had a blast! Wednesday was the day that we were supposed to get transfer news, but it didn't come out until Thursday morning. We had to say goodbye to Hermana Pulu who was going to her originally assigned mission in El Salvador, she was serving here in the IPM while she waited for her visa. I'll miss her but I'm glad she gets to serve the people there.  When we got transfer news, we found out that Hermana Hyde was going to be going to Twin Falls, and I would go to Paul (north of Burley). We also went on a tour of one of the ward members farms. We...
