HILL, OLIVIA

Hello!! It's been another great week!! Lots of miracles and fun times!      It's cool to see how the spirit works especially during the mission. My trainer is a spiritual giant, seriously such a good example to me!      We did yard work at Patrick's house this week and we found like 7 Weed plants lolol good times. We also helped our sweet old lady friend Sister Gaines clean her apt this week and wow there was a lot to do. She has a hard time moving around so we were happy to help her!     Some members in our ward have puppies and ahhhhh they were so cute and made me so happy!!! I love dogs haha     Lots of great member visits!! We have bomb members. I'm so grateful we get to meet with them and hear their testimonies!     I could talk forever about what I've experienced so far on my mission. lol. It's been so cool so far!      I hope everyone is happy and doing well!! God loves you!! Have a good week! <3  ...

Hello everyone! It's been a great week! The days are long but wow the week goes by so fast! It's getting so hot here! I got a little burnt during service the other day haha oops. But yeah the area is doing great!       We are teaching this guy named Cory and he has been to 4 different churches/religions in 4 years haha so he likes learning about new religions. We're hoping he won't just join our church for a year and then find a new one hahah. But he came to a baptism on thursday and he loved it! He liked how personal it was! He always asks a billion questions and sometimes they're hard to answer lol but I really think he'll get baptized soon! It makes me stoked! He also came to church and all the members were SO nice and very welcoming and it made my heart so happy!!      My zone is so fun, we do a lot together haha lots of volleyball and basketball so you already know I've become a baller. JK I'm terrible lol but I still try. I say this a lot but I f...

Hello friends! My first week in the mission ah it's insane actually. My trainer is Sister Loucks and she is so cute and fun! She's only got 3 months in the mission so she's pretty new which is kinda helpful bc she understands being new lol     I'm serving in Cottonwood Springs and Willowbrook wards here in Kennewick!! It's the cutest place! The people here are so nice! There's a good amount of members so we meet with a lot of them and they feed us a lot! Also they have the cutest houses here. I'm always like "my mom would love these". We have a nice grandma car named Tiffany hehe      We're teaching a few people who have been meeting w missionaries for a while & we're hoping they'll keep progressing. So keep Tyler & Cory & Joni in your prayers! It's kind of intimidating starting out because I'm still in training haha and don't feel like I know very much but I'm just grateful to be able to be teaching people! ...

Dear Family,     We are thrilled to inform you that your missionary has arrived safely to the mission field.  Sister Hill appears to be healthy, and in good spirits, and seems eager to get to work. She will be staying the evening in Kennewick, and will be meeting her Trainer on Thursday morning, and then after some orientation and more training, will be traveling with her companion to their new area Thursday evening.  Thank you so much for raising your daughter in such a way that she is willing and worthy to serve a mission.  Sister Hill is in good hands!  Her Preparation Day will be on Mondays.  She will also let you know, in advance, if a Preparation Day changes due to a Federal Holiday or a special temple visit.     Along with your missionary’s photo with President and Sister Rasmussen, I have attached a letter from Elder Wilcox explaining how we handle the mail in the mission. Do not hesitate to email or call if you have any questions or ...

Hello friends!      I’ve been in the mtc for almost 3 weeks now and I’ll be leaving for Washington on Wednesday! Which is insanee  Super excited but also sad bc I loved the home mtc!  My dog had puppies so I’ve been able to watch them grow up and getting to spend that extra time with my family is a blessing!      I’ve loved my cute companion Sister Burk from AZ, and my district! They’ve helped strengthen my testimony a ton! Oh and my teachers! They’re so great!! I’ve had 4 different teachers bc the semester changed at Byu lol but every one of them has seriously been amazing!      It’s insane how much I’ve learned in such a short period of time, I’ve realized how freaking cool the scriptures and gospel are! Seriously it’s amazing to learn the lessons and practice them bc you realize wow this actually happened and it’s amazing, like only through Gods power & will is this possible! So I can’t imagine how great it will be to see oth...
