"We're halfway there" and definitely "Living on a Prayer"
Happy June Everybody!
This week was great and busy!
Highlights of the Week
For P-day on Monday we got to use these fun bubble things and bounce off of each other. I was also the smallest missionary in the group cause it was my companion and I with 4 elders, so the elders figured out that they could flip me if they ran and hit me hard enough. I attached the video so hopefully you can all see it. It was really fun and no it didn't hurt at all, it was quite safe and cozy in there.
We did lots of service! We got to help make and serve banana splits at a retirement center, help a family clean their house and get ready to move, help at the thrift store in town, and do an exercise class at the nursing home.
I got to help milk goats this week! There is a couple in the ward that have goats and we went over to visit since the husband got baptized within the past few years, and they let us help milk their goats. They even had a nubian which was the breed of goat that I had.
We got to visit a lady in the ward that has MS, and we got to tell her some stories and get her to smile and laugh!
The family that we helped move has a 6 year-old daughter and she told me that we were best buddies.
On Sunday we got to help with the church meeting at the Youth Challenge Academy and that's always a wonderful experience to be with them.
Other Parts of the Week
No one was really home this week when we tried to visit so that was a little awkward. We also went tracting this week and no one was home then either. We had a lot of travel time this week too. At our weekly missionary meeting we got to teach some of the other missionaries about setting goals. There wasn't much teaching that went on, but we have set goals to help make that better this week :)
Transfers
I will be staying in Orofino this transfer and I will be getting a new companion! I also hit my 9 month/halfway mark on Wednesday which is weird.
Halfway Fun Facts
In our mission we have a big transfer van that helps move everyone during transfers, but I have never been on it for transfers because I've stayed in the bottom of the mission for 6 transfers (each 6-week period is a transfer) now.
I have never been to zone conference (a big missionary meeting) with any other zones (areas) than the ones I've served in.
Even though this is the Washington Spokane Mission, I've always served 2 or more hours south of Spokane.
Thank you for all of your support and prayers, I love you all!
Love, Sister Karlee Killen
