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 use the bathroom and I noticed I had somehow gotten chocolate on my shirt! I hadn't eaten any chocolate so it was strange. I tried to wash it off, but then was left with a wet shirt, so thankfully I had a flannel shirt in the car that I could wear while we took my shirt to a sweet member's house and dried it. It's not very fun to wear flannel when it's 80° outside, let me tell you!

Saturday was a basic, boring day. Lots of contacts and not a lot to show for it. But we ate a very yummy dinner and then had milkshakes. I love milkshakes. Sunday was a busy day, running around to various meetings. It was a little chilly too, we've had a lot of rain recently and it's cooled things off a lot.

Monday we had exchanges and I was in Aberdeen with Hermana Greenwood again! It was a busy day and we capped the night off with a ward party for Aberdeen 1st Ward. There were lots of people there and it was so much fun. 

Today was Hermana Hyde's one year mark in the mission, her parents sent her flowers and we went to several fun stores. 

And that's a wrap on this week! Talk to you all next week!

Exchanges!

A cat sat on my lap today!

The flannel of shame

We get so many bugs on our window that we have to clean it often. 

Our district leader Elder Hartley had a gallon of milk in the fridge at the church and it disappeared so I made a poster for it.

¡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...
