Abby's Mission to Orem

From Abby - Great Expectations Hi alll I'm sitting here minding my business and realised I haven't started the weekly and its 9:47AM  not allowed Today started with tragedy as we realised it was one of those week's we have to make our budget stretch for three weeks... We didn't... No groceries this week :D Last Pday we played kickball and bleached shirts... As always i'm humbled to play sports but i'm getting more used to it through shear exposure It rained again and  we whipped out the rain jackets :) yayyy lowkey I wore this outfit on my FIRST day in the Field. October 16th 2024.. 9 months ago.. Observe ^ This one is much cuter though because its film.. Anyways  We had Sister Molenis LAST mentor session YAY (I only had to be here for like 4 of them but yay.) This is my 5th transfer of second comp study and mentor sessions... I don't know why I keep track of these things.  Heres a .5 from tuesdays weekly planning  We REALLY want this area to succeed but the...

From Abby - Seeds of Divinity  GUYSSS ITS BEEN A GOOD WEEK Currently typing through blurry eyes in reading my moms email and missing the vibrant nature of my family. Anyways  I'm constantly bursting with things to tell you and theres just not enough time to portray my giddy desire to yap and yap and yap  We played games in a random church gym for Pday and I still feel guilty about pulling the chair during musical chairs.. (After I told her not to pull the chair..) Sister Ortiz if you're reading this I still feel guilty.  Called the fam and felt like CRYING since they're doing all their summer vacay. Dads email was elaborate with many a picture. Heres the District  Yes we wore Lavalavas... We're just poly wannabes at this point.  TUESDAY WAS ZONE CONFERENCE Its so strange that you can sit in a chair for like 6 hours straight and by the end of it you're completely EXHAUSTED. The spirit slaps you upside the head multiple times and after you have no choice but ...

From Abby -  STEP MOM   Heyyy Hiii Okay lets jump in  This week was SOOO FAST  Today walking through walmart I was like "How did I get here.?" The week started with dance lessons by elder Taufunga giving dance lessons?? I heard a rumour that he used to be a choreographer at the Polynesian Cultural Center!??! (He hasnt confirmed but I wouldnt be shocked)  We chanelled our inner polynesian and danced our little hearts out. It was a solid effort I will say that. LOOK WHAT MY PARENTS SENT ME  I count it as a late canada day gift LITERALLY the next day the Looslis from my last area knocked on my door and dropped off ANOTHER BAG AND THEN a member in our area brought us TWO bags of old dutch ketchup?!?!  Its because I talk about ketchup chips all the time.. Reeferals probably work the same way :) Basically aquired SEVEN bags of ketchup Chips this week  #Loved.  -Also discovered the handwritten letters at the bottom like 4 days later when I finally r...

From Abby: Malolelei Hi all neautiful humans who dare to open this email and ettempt to read the thrilling contents. To premise, Its actually the night before Pday, i'm sitting criss cross in my youth camp Tshirt and thrifted pajama pants.. Sister Moleni is munching on some chips and Im filled with the desire to NOT take 20 years to write my weekly tomorrow, so I'm starting now.  Two days ago mark EXACTLY halfway if I extend my mission.. This is what the countdown on my phone looked like: *pic of countdown* Wow thats large and in charge..  Does this give me somewhat of a crisis?  Possibly. Does it feel like I'm halfway? ABSOLUTELY not. But at the same time I know how to do things... I fear I'm not creative or resilient enough to try new things in missionary work. I feel the rut that is being formed from doing the same thing day in and day out and I think that's what truly makes missionaries trunky. Really its their own doing  They want to go home because it feels so...
