Transfer 4, semana 2

 Hello everyone!

I feel like I don't even know hat happened this week! But I know we did a lot of good things! 

Thursday we had zone conference! We talked about working with the members and fellowshipping our investigators, because missionaries change a lot more often than the members. We had Hermana Beard's famous French toast and it was delicious (though very carb-y). My mom also bought me a small harp for my birthday and it arrived today. I've spent a few minutes each day tuning it because it was very out of tune when I got it. But soon I'll be able to play it! 

Friday I ended up taking a very long morning nap. I hadn't slept well the previous two nights, so ended up sleeping through my studies. I felt really bad about it but I also like to believe that God knows our limits and capabilities. He called me on a mission not to be a perfect missionary, but to me. And sometimes that means taking a nap so I can function later in the day. We still ended up finding two new people to teach that day though, so I think God was pleased with our work.

Saturday for dinner we had a light dinner of chicken ceasar salad and it was so nice to not be absolutely stuffed afterwards. It was also a last minute dinner appointment so we really appreciated it. We then went to a wedding reception (we get invited to the randomest events) and saw the family we ate dinner with! They fed us a light meal because they were going to eat again at the wedding but we didn't even care! They were embarrassed to get caught but we thought it was funny.

Sunday we went to the Spanish ward and we bore our testimonies. I was surprised at how easily the words came to me and how amazing it is that I can speak as much spanish as I can after just six months. Sunday was also my Six Month mark on my mission! I'm one third of the way done! It's so nice to know how much the Lord helps us when we do His will.

Monday we had a lot of return appointments and talked with a ton of people. Our dinner appointment ran long. We're supposed to eat dinner at 5 and be out from 6-9 working. But this family asked us to eat at 6:30! We were sad because there was a ward party in the spanish ward that we wanted to go to and talk to the members, but the family had some friends that they wanted us to meet so we went. But then we didn't start eating until 7:30. We're supposed to only be at dinner for one hour. It was a crazy night, but we still managed to get to the party for a few minutes before curfew.

Today we went to a boutique in Pocatello and they had "secret discounts" in envelopes that we could use. I bought a dress and a necklace and got a $25 gift card! The lady was so excited and put me on their Instagram story, and my sister Katie took a screenshot of it for me. Thanks Katie :) 

I hope this email was entertaining enough. So much happens everyday, but it's not very interesting to tell. Mostly knocking on doors and no one answers.

I love you all! Have a great week and I'll talk to you next week!

We went to the temple today!


Treats from the Mexican bakery!

Hermana Hyde had an allergic reaction to this horse because she touched her eye after petting it. 

We saw a random cow walking in the road???

One of our investigators daughters drew a picture of me with a cat!

Someone put googly eyes on this poster in Walmart

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...
