Transfer 4, semana 3

Hello!


Lots of small miracles this week. That's one of the beautiful things about being a missionary, we get to see a whole bunch of small miracles everyday. And big ones too. 

Wednesday and Thursday were pretty boring, basic days. Nothing to write home about (haha). 

On Friday we had a big meeting as a zone, called zone council and we also had interviews with our mission president. During mine, we talked about the family from Kenya and President Herrod said that he would try to make it to the lesson we had planned for Saturday. We know they're ready to be baptized, and they know it too. They just need a little push.

Saturday, we were so hoping that Jim and Dana would set a baptismal date. Hermanas Greenwood, Hyde, and I all fasted for them to make this choice. President and Sister Herrod were able to come to the lesson too. We taught them the Restoration lesson again, it always brings the Holy Ghost. We tried our darnedest to get them on date and they never really agreed to one. I was pretty depressed afterwards and got a milkshake as consolation. Then we sat in the car for a few minutes and Hermana Hyde asked what would make me feel better. I told her I didn't know, but thought to myself that seeing an ice cream truck would make me feel happier. But we are in Aberdeen and there was zero chance that would happen. So we got out of the car and talked with one of our friends for a few minutes, and as we walked back to the car, I heard ice cream truck music. I stopped on the sidewalk and looked around. And down the street came two kids pushing two little ice cream carts with a speaker on top playing music. It was such a happy moment in an otherwise depressing hour.

Sunday, we spoke in church in the Spanish ward. This was only my second talk in Spanish and I was a little worried, but managed to speak about the parable of the 99 sheep for 15 minutes. We also went to English class and had a blast! I will send my talk in 

Monday we had exchanges! Sunday night we picked up Hermana Beard and it was a blast. We talked with a whole bunch of people. Some of the other Hermanas nearby had a baptism in the evening so we went to that. We had a good time with Hermana Beard. She only has one and a half transfers left before she goes home and the mission definitely won't feel that same without her.

That's all for this week! I hope you find enjoyment from these emails. I love you all!

I bought Hermana Beard a root beer for her 21st birthday and she doesn't drink soda so here is her progression of that.

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...
