Abby's Mission to Orem

From Abby - Atwood This week was SO GOOD  Last monday I was convinced to go bowling as a district (I didn't participate sue me)  We actually went to nickel city first and then realized it was Martin Luther King Jr Day and that EVERY soul was at nickel city.. Crim. Therefore we quickly redirected things and it was awesome. Best part was running in and out of a photo booth to get a picture with each companionship.  District activities are SO fun, I'm going to miss them.  We also added base to sealed to you.. My favorite thing is sitting beside Sister Hethcote and watching Sister Dodge Jam out.  Sister Hethcote got CONCUSSED last week and brother Hall made her get on the drums to play around and It was SO funny to watch her battle her head while keeping a beat.  At one point when we were sitting on the floor I pulled out a book from their shelf "Seven Habits for Highly Effective People" And we were looking through the pictures: One of them was two pictures in ...

From Abby - THIS is life eternal Is it the gospel fire in your eyes? Or your scuffed tracting shoes?  January 12th- January 18th 2026 Hi all :) Happy Happy Pday There are so many things I want to say to you  currently sprawled in the middle of my living room, the sun is streaming in and I'm currently experencing the peace that passeth all understanding (Philippians 4:7) Currently Sister Williams is at departing activities.. So weird.. Second comp I'm killing, Shoutout Sister Orton (Danielle) Monday January 12th we piled Sister Hethcote, Dodge, Williams, Secrist, Rhinehart and I into our sunday school president Brother Halls basement to help come to fruition the legendary parody of Bruno Mars song "I think I wanna marry you" adapted cleverly to "I dream of being sealed to you" The entire space of time between 2:00pm to 5:00pm was riddled with giggles, music, and PURE joy. From Sister Dodge perched on a bench with her guitar, to Sister Hethcote being my litera...

From Abby - Boots and Cats What you will find below is a miraculous week filled with light  and or course, any miraculous week filled with light starts with thrifting  which this week did! As a district! al the way up in the American Fork DI! Major steals: -Jean Skirt  that's all :) I should of suspected but about 11 minutes into thrifting Elder Drysdale petitioned all the missionaries to buy Silly outfits and then randomize trying them on  I was somehow the only missionary that didn't take him seriously, so pretty soon I found myself in a chapel with munches and a bunch of FOOLS  Fools that I love obviously: I also had a mini crisis talking to my family, we're planning the logistics of me coming home and what we're going to do the month after etc.  You can imagine my terror when my Sister Stephanie sent into the family chat  "We just bought flights to visit for Abby's homecoming! We'll get there late on March 3rd, and leave in the afternoon of March 1...

From Abby - My love is Deep My Love is Wiiide Hi  HAPPY 2026!!! My blackout year is officially complete which is absolutely INSANEEEE  What a wild week it's been  This is me writing on January 12th... This email covers December 29th 2025- January 4th 2026 I haven't sent an email since last year... Hah..  Last pday (dec 29) we played games as a distric.. Whipped out spoons which is a classic  we also played Uno  it got violent  Orem Bench District: Having Elder Chapin back in my district one whole year later is actually so weird.. He hasn't changed a bit  one joke that me and my companions snagged from him is where you say a long drawn out higher pitched "Yeahhh" followed by ANY comment that gases yourself up. for example "Yeahh I've dabbled in freestyle rap" or "Yeahh people notice my style" or "Yeahh you might call me a master texter"  It can literally be ANYTHING and we do it all the time now.  Tuesday morning we were tracting a...

From Abby - Sister Hethcote is My Boyfriend Hey :)  Last Email of 2025 I'll have you know that I thought about having my email title be something christmas themed and then promptly vetoed it  The title above doesnt need explanation  Consider it a hard launch  Anyways I am SO sleepy all the time guys its actually insane.  Happy to be alive, happy to be a missionary.  We locked in on ginger bread houses last week for allll the christmas vibes  Elder Chapin ate his like a burger, pink sparkles and everything  figures Sister Rhinehart and I have combined funds on our card right now since her MSF is bugging, therefore I'm actually seemingly rich ALL the time  that being said our money will max out at $500 so we have to spend it which we tried to do... Our plans were promptly thwarted by a nice old lady in Sister Rhinehart's ward.. Points for having a comp that lives here :) RIP MSF  We're just buying lunch for everyone since it needs to be sp...
