Transfer 4 semana 6

Hello hello!


Sorry for any confusion that may have come from my earlier email. Last week's didn't send so it had to go out this morning. I'm also sending this late, so didn't have time to attach pictures. 


We've had a lot of rain here in the Aberdeen area. Harvest is delayed a little bit because the fields are too wet so that messes things up. But things are going well! 

Wednesday after our District Council in Pocatello, we got a chip in our windshield filled in. They also vacuumed our car which was great because the day before on Pday, the car wash we normally go to wasn't accepting credit cards so we couldn't pay for a car wash. We also got to have lunch with the American Falls Hermanas which is always fun.

Thursday, we were driving down the road and a rock came and chipped our newly fixed windshield 😭. We also got to attend a baptism that the American Falls Hermanas had and I felt weirdly anxious during it. Not exactly sure what caused it, but I have a great companion who is willing to help me through my troubles. I did get to eat some delicious watermelon after the baptism though.

Friday! We went to the Panadería in town and the owner came out to talk with us. He was talking about how I need to speak more Spanish, and made a comment about how the hamster in my head is sleeping. Which is probably true haha. Then we walked around town and saw some kids on the playground at recess. We passed by and one of the kids we are teaching saw us, jumped off the swing in midair, didn't stick the landing, and fell flat on his front with woodchips flying everywhere. He was okay, and popped tight up to say hi.

Saturday was a hard day, all of our scheduled appointments canceled and we basically did nothing all day. The holiday weekend made it hard. Sunday we went to English class after church and it was so fun! We also exchanged that night and I went on my first overnight exchange! 

On Monday I was in Pocatello (Tyhee) and it was rough. I had forgotten my Aquaphor for my chapped lips and had to use canola oil to moisturize them. Also forgot my earplugs, and I slept right in front of the fan and was cold the whole night. Poor me. Then with a night of poor sleep, I felt anxious the whole day. Not a good combo. I was really happy to go home and sleep in my own bed and be with my own companion.

I've run out of time! Pictures will come next week in their own email. Sorry! I love you all!

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...
