Transfer 5, semana 3

Hello!


Whew, this week has been a whirlwind. Lots and lots of meetings, but that's just how missionary life is.

Wednesday we had Zone Council and District Council. They lasted for quite a while and took a lot of the day. Then we had a lesson on the far edges of our area and did our weekly planning afterwards in the car in the church parking lot. Earlier in the day, the neighbors got a new couch delivered and we had fun watching them try to maneuver it through the door.

Thursday was Earth, Wind, and Fire day. Boy did we remember. We very badly sang part of their song September in the car on our way home, since we can't listen to it. We also went to the Family History Center for Hermana Beard to do her college hour (an hour every week for the last six months of your mission where you plan for after you get home) and Hermana Cox and I had fun making silly surveys on Google Forms.

Friday was a bad mental health day, I couldn't wake up and when I finally did, I didn't have any energy to do anything. When I finally convinced myself to get out of bed (to use the bathroom), I had an anxiety attack. But my companions are very kind and helpful to me. Finally we got out to do stuff, and had some good lessons.

Saturday we had a lesson with two people who have been taught on and off for several months. They say they like talking with the missionaries, but it's like pulling teeth to get them to come out and actually talk with us. They pretended to not be home, even though we could hear their phone ringing through the door AND the echoes of their voices when they talked. We told them that if they weren't interested in baptism then we would have to stop teaching them. Eventually, we decided that they aren't ready yet and it was such a relief to not have to worry too much about them anymore.

Sunday! Hermana Cox and I had to speak in the Spanish branch, there weren't many people there, only about 10 or so. But I was still so nervous that I forgot to give half of my talk! So we ended way early. Oops. Then we had lunch with President and Sister Gibby, he's a counselor in the mission presidency. Immediately after dinner, we went to the house of one of our friends and she gave us tacos. Then we went straight to our dinner appointment! I was so full by the end of the night.

Monday, Hermana Beard had to go to Pocatello for a leadership meeting (MLC) so we got to meet up with some of the other sisters in the area so all of the Sister Training Leaders could carpool. When we picked her up, it was fun to hear about what they discussed. For dinner we had these tiny cheddar meatloaf ball things. They were pretty good, but the best part was dessert. Homemade cookies with Costco ice cream. Yum.

Anyway, that's all for this week! Thanks for following along!

Nap time! It doesn't look that comfortable, does it?

The neighbor's couch looks really comfy

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...

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...
