Medford is da bomb 😍 3/20/2017

So I got transferred to Medford 2nd ward! I have officially left the Willamette valley!! Monday Sister Figueroa died!! She is now home. After pday we went finding and we found this pretty cool guy named Dave! He has a real cute wife and kids so that was fun! Then we unpacked and did first night of the transfer! I just love my companion so much, she is amazing! 

Tuesday we had service which was super boring then we had 3 lessons! Oh WE ARE RIDING BIKES 3 DAYS OF THE WEEK!! Man it's kicking my bum. Oh we also worked out with our Relief Society president and some of the woman in our ward. They go hard so that's nice. We had a lesson with a 9 yr. old girl named Dylon, she is so cute. We taught her about the 10 commandments with the hand signs, then we had a lesson with another 10 yr. old girl named Kaden who is very ADD. I just love teaching kids so much, they are amazing. Then we taught Lua and Lena they are both from Samoa! It's awesome, they don't know English too well but they want us to come by a lot. They are seventh day Adventist but they don't believe in ch at all. So that's interesting! But then we had a big Zone meeting on how we all want to work hard. It was like a pump up meeting, so good. 

Wednesday we worked out again and rode bikes soo that was still kicking me in the bum. We went finding and found a girl named Rachel who is really sweet, and has great tattoos! We had dinner with some members who have a daughter named McKena! So that's cool, they also know the Smiths from canon city! Such a small world!

Thursday we worked out again I think we did kick boxing and biked again. So now I know what elders feel like haha that's great. We had a lesson with John and holy cow! He is awesome. His wife died a little while ago and she was a member. He has a 2 yr old named Mia who is ADORABLE. We taught the restoration and the spirit was so strong. He picked May 28th to be baptized!(: he wants to be sealed to his wife and daughter. He is a truck driver so he listens to the Book of Mormon when he is driving! Then we had weekly planning. Oh so that night we were waiting for the sisters to pick us up so that we could get the car back and so we were throwing out the trash and we accidentally threw the keys in the dumpster and all we had for light was our phone. That was rough but we found them! And then my companion is awesome and OYMed this guy who is Muslim but he wanted a Book of Mormon and now he's reading it! 

Friday we had district meeting which was good, we went finding in the 6th ward after and had a lesson with a recent convert named Mercedes! She has such a strong testimony it's incredible! That was a real good lesson (: she got baptized a couple weeks ago. Then we went and talked to this guy who is from COLORADO!(: he wants to meet with the missionaries, his boss is a bishop and he is really interested! He is taking real estate tests right now but we showed him the new Easter initiative! And OH MY ITS SO GOOD! #PrinceofPeace is incredible. We did a Zone be able to find new people who are prepared for baptism which was cool to be fasting while going to the temple.

Saturday we went to the temple! 😍I just love the temple so much. It was gorgeous and wonderful and it was really nice to only drive 10 mins there! I'm so grateful for the blessings that come from the temple! We went teaching after that and I met some more recent concerts and investigators! Everyone here reminds me of someone at home it's weird. We went to Olive Garden 😍 BEST DAY EVER.

Sunday we went to an earlier ward with John before he had work! Then we went to our church and a lady had heart attack in sacrament meeting which was pretty scary and weird. We also had 2 people just randomly show up to church and they want to be taught so that's awesome. We had a lesson with some recent converts son, which was interesting.. but he wants us to come back! Then we met the Millets who are awesome.  They own a vitamin shop and give us a lot of stuff 🙂 which is really helpful for all the working out I'm doing! 

So yeah that's my week! It was pretty great! We worked hard and saw A LOT of miracles which elder bunker would say are results from us riding bikes everywhere.. haha but I'm just grateful to be here, I love it a lot. Hope you all have a great week!

Love,
Sister Morgan ❤

P.s. I totally ran into a trash can with the bike and real hurt my fingers so here's some pictures!(:
