HILL, OLIVIA

Well hello, it has been a rollercoaster week. Here are some updates for y'all:  Kendalyn got baptized on saturday!! It was such a perfect little baptism and she is soooooo freakin amazing.  The next day at church she got a call to be a ward missionary haha!  She was so golden & prepared when we found her holy moly. I love her so much!!  Our friend Octavio has a date to be baptized at the end of the month! He has some pretty hard addictions that make it difficult for him to stay clean and ready for baptism. So please keep Octavio in your prayers!  So I am in a new area, Umatilla, and its going good but also kinda very different. I have a fun story to share.. So on tuesday we were driving down this road that is right by the river and there is brush surrounding the road. It was 5:00 so it was already dark outside and then all of the sudden a deer flew out and we hit it. It was a big deer and we were going 55mph so that poor deer got wrecked & so did our car...

Hello everyone!! Hope you've all had a great week. I got some big news...     Sooo our mission president called last night and told me I'm getting ET'd again..  found out last night, I am going to the Umatilla River area today. Had like 8 hour notice to get ready haha. It was a big shock. Actually pretty sad because I won't get to say bye to all the people I've met here in Hermiston. I'll be companions with Sister Stettler who is going home in 4 weeks. This is kinda just deja vu from my last ET haha. But I guess the Lord trusts I can handle it haha. 2 ETs in 2 months... ahhh     I'm grateful for the 2.5 months I had in Hermiston, for the people I met and the experiences I had. It was hard but I also loved it, no matter where you go you meet people that are just so cool. Also freakin love my comps Sister Blackmon & Bean, I'll miss them :,)     It's been a good week though, we had our ward Christmas party and a couple of the people we're teachi...

Heyyyo how is it going??  The last 2 weeks have been so good!! We met with our girl Kendalyn and she is getting baptized on the 18th!! Yayyy. She was gonna get baptized this upcoming saturday but she has a few struggles with the word of wisdom, but she is so determined to get baptized so everyone pray for her!!  We had transfers this last week and I'm staying in good old hermiston w my cute comps. For a good solid 2 days we had no zone leaders because one of them became AP and the other went home. So me and the other STL were just trying our very best to keep things running lol it was stressful and made me appreciate our zone leaders a lot haha. So this random guy in colorado messaged us wanted to learn more about the Book of Mormon. He was staying at a Marriot hotel and found a BOM there and started reading it! He found it so interesting in the intro that it says "it is the most true book" so he was wanting to know why. He is so cool! We love teaching him, he has great q...
