HILL, OLIVIA

Hello!! It's been a crazy couple of weeks!  I got transferred back to Kennewick! Ahhh crazy haha, I really miss Hermiston/Umatilla but I am happy to be back!  This new area is definitely different from my last area haha we're in the city now & it's a lot smaller of an area. But the members here are amazing! So kind & so strong in the church & lots of cute dogs :) On Saturday I was able to go back to Hermiston for Judy's baptism!! The best day ever! I love Judy so much, teaching her was my favorite thing in the whole world, she is the perfect example of the gospel bringing light to people's lives! Satan really attacked her the week leading to her baptism and its because he knew how amazing she is and that she will be forever faithful! She was so giddy all day, I have never seen her happier! I gave a talk in church this Sunday and spoke on being a disciple of Christ. It's all about learning from Christ & following His example. One of my favorite sc...

Happy Valentine's Day! I love you all! We got to spend all day with our district in Heppner Oregon, which is the tiniest town in the whole world but sooo cute. I think I'm slowly converting to country life haha. But seriously though I love small towns! We went and knocked on doors in a town close by that has 50 people living there hahaha Oof, got some news. I let sister kendrick cut my hair. She cut 4 inches & now I have little hair haha but its fun! A little different but hey, the mission is a good time to do it! We knocked on this guys door & he answered & told us he wasn't interested but then referred his 10 y/o daughter to us.. haha we were shook but then we met her the next day & she seems super interested! One of her best friends & neighbor is a recent convert so you already know shes gonna be the best fellowship!  The other day our whole zone got together and we invited a whole bunch of recent converts to come & bare their testimonies. The spi...

Hello!!  It was a great week!!  Here are some highlights: Went on exchanges with Sister Bean! I used to be comps with her so I was so happy to be with her for the day!  We had like 8 member meals this week, it was insane but so good! It makes me miss my mom & grandmas yummy food :,) Had sushi for the first time in 9 months! I missed it lol Judy, who we've been teaching for awhile, has been praying for a sign from God that she should get baptized haha so the other day a chicken wandered its way into her yard & won't leave. So Judy thinks it's a sign but doesn't quite know what it means haha. She told a member in our ward about it & the member told Judy that it means "she's being a chicken" haha bc she's worried about getting baptized. Funny times Our area is on the border of Washington & Oregon & goes across the Columbia river so it's so pretty & fun!  Anyways, it was a super great week! I'm grateful to be a missionary. T...
