Transfer 4, semana 5

Hello again everyone!


The field is white and ready to harvest! Literally and figuratively. Potato harvest starts soon and that means the kids will be out of school for a few weeks to help with the harvest. I feel like I'm a potato expert now since living in Aberdeen for the past three months haha. This week was a hard one, I was really depressed for a good chunk of it and that really impeeds the work. But we still got out and did stuff!

Wednesday we had district council and got our new missionary finance cards. We used to be with Bank of America but they had some changes so they changed us to a different bank. Otherwise it was a pretty slow day.

Thursday was a hard day and I had a hard time getting going in the morning. Sleep troubles and depression make it difficult to wake up sometimes. But we pushed through and survived through the day. We also had a really good lesson with the kids from Kenya so that was awesome.

Friday was another hard morning, I slept in on accident and we didn't make it to the track to exercise that day. It was really hard to get going again and do all the stuff we needed to do. That night was the first home football game of the season for the high school so we walked around for a bit and tried to talk to people. But they were all at the game so it was difficult. A sweet member paid for us to get into the game, but even in the game no one wanted to talk with us because they were trying to watch! So it was an interesting night.

Saturday morning was good. We went to the library to do language study and that was fun. Then in the afternoon depression hit me hard again and I struggled for the rest of the day. We pushed through but at the end of the night, I asked a ward member for a priesthood blessing and that really helped me.

Sunday we were all over the place. We went to all five of our wards for meetings and weren't there for more than 20 minutes for any of them except the Young Single Adult ward where we spoke. I have the recording of that one too, it's almost the same as the one I gave in spanish a few weeks ago. As we were leaving the YSA ward, we were warned of this guy who was trying to argue with church members and it was very strange having to ignore him because we're so used to talking to everyone!

Monday was yet again a hard day, I think my sleep troubles caught up to me and I ended up sleeping through my study time. I feel bad that this week has been a struggle for me mental health wise, but I hope that God understands my capabilities and my weaknesses. Hermana Hyde has been an absolute blessing this week in taking care of me. 

That's really all, sorry that nothing really seems to happen here. But I love you all! Have a good 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...
