Abby's Mission to Orem

From Abby - "And with this, his life begins anew" Hello Dearest Readers,  I hope this email finds you immensely well I'm currently posessed of the unusual lack of motivation to make myself breakfast and simultaneously living in fear that this email will send itself earlier than intended... If it happens a third time I'm EXCLUSIVELY writing my emails in the notes app. Its currently 6:42 AM I'm feeling optomistic to finish semi early if I can stay on task. Last Pday we did  i think what you would call the touristy thing  serving in Pleasant Grove we HAD to hike the G our district has a ball of a time enjoying each others company while cursing the incline and picking flowers! The view of our ENTIRE mission^.. and probably some of the saratoga springs mission, and Provo mission..  Photo Credit to Elder brown :)  If I wasn't a missionary on a Pday Schedule I would have stayed there MUCH longer, the sun shining down on me, the wind cooling my face and blowing my hai...

From Abby - (no subject) HEY ALL I just devoured a HUGE bowl of oatmeal with a lot of bananas and peanut butter Today I feel joy because I can eat a massive bowl of oatmeal with bananas and peanut butter: Last Pday I think was one of the most idylic pdays i've ever experienced. we drove to the top of the zone (Literally the top.. AKA a MASSIVE hill)  the sun streamed down over the mountains and us, we blew bubbles all together, played football with this SUPER sweet special needs kid named Matthew, listened to an old mans advice on following the spirit, and layed out in the sun talking about anything that came to mind.. I'm in love with being a missionary in these moments of peace. Sister Dimitrov ^ Elder Loesch and I ^ Elder Loesch is about to fly away to Macedonia! The entire zone is going to miss him its so crazy someone can be a part of the mission and then GONE in an instant. hes a brave soul  something he said in his departing testimony at zone conference was "Change ...

From Abby - UNITE UNITE UNITE Hi friends :) Currently munching a granola bowl that looks very similar to last weeks picture so I won't bore you with that again.. Also currently listening to missionary made music on the group google drive for the mission and lowkey its a bop. #Musicdeprived. Anyways, its currently 7:35 AM and my goal is to be done by 9:00.. If it gets sent out later than that you'll have to chastize Last Pday we went THRIFTING! MY FAVORITE. I got -a sad little dog shirt that says something along the lines of "Leave me alone its my day off" -Saints book -New Testimant book (ONLY the new testimant its such a thin little book) -a D&C book (So.. Only D&C) its so old that it doesn't have section 137 or 138 yet :O  Believe it or not i've played basketball TWO more timessince my joyful report of once last week..  (once with district and once for morning sports as a zone)  Character developement? Character ark? I hope you're proud Dad was i...

From Abby - *First speaker .. Holland walks up* Hiiii all  lets start off strong with my breakfast this morning.. Just imagine this photo but I'm sitting on the grass and the sun is streaming over my face and its also Iphone quality :) Anyways I promise it looks much more appetizing in person.. And don't mind the tuppaware- Starting off strong with last pday.. the FIRST pday as a new district. We made pancakes and Elder Cease guilt tripped me into PLAYING BASKETBALL?!?!?!? Brethren I never thought I'd see the day but here we are humbling ourselves and trying new things with hope and excitement.. We were also able to have a post Baptism lesson with Martin and I LOVE seeing the light in Martin begin. Embarking the covenant path is the most sacred thing I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of. Those moments are some of the few where you realise WHY you're here. We also knocked this house: The Huntsaker family: MULTIPLE people who've been in this area told me to ...
