{Letter #13} Your Weekly Food Log

Happy monday friends!! I hope everyone is doing well!


Highlights:

-people picking up!! We had a couple people who had been taught by missionaries in the past who said they wanted to talk to us again! It was exciting:)

-birthday! The mission decided to give us an all-day p-day for my birthday. Just kidding. But it was a really good day. We got a trick or treater!! And we actually had candy to give them (thanks mom)! I've never felt so cool haha


-food hahaha. Because we are inside a lot and we can't eat with members right now, we have a lot of culinary creations going on. Everyone in our apartment takes turns making dinner and wow. Among others,, we had bomb fish tacos, a Dominican rice/sausage dish, and an insane veggie dish. We also got some sushi for a mid-week pick-me-up and Hermana Oldroyd made a very addictive pumpkin bread. It was a good week haha...



-baptism! It was a person that Hermana Long and Hermana Oldroyd taught a few months ago. I didn't even know him! But the spirit was so strong. The talks were powerful (and I actually understood them which was definitely a gift too), some other missionaries taught about the restoration because most of the people that came to the baptism weren't members, and an elder played a really powerful version of the baptism song on the piano and oh boy. It just made me so grateful to be here on a mission.

Thought:
I am running very low on time but I want to leave you with a quick scripture:


"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."  Philippians 4:13


Christ is with you. He loves you. You got this. Have a wonderful week!!!


Love you all!!


<3 Hermana Goold

Last Transfer {Letter #33}

Image
Hello everyone!! Happy Monday!! Get ready because these past like 3 weeks (or whenever it was that I last wrote a weekly) have been crazy ones!! Here are some highlights (and there are more in picture form at the end😁) Highlights: ◇We got the cops called on us!! We accidentally parked in front of someone's illegal driveway so they called the police on us.... No worries though it all turned out well haha ◇We've been listening to Christmas music for about 3 months now and are super excited that it's officially Christmas season now 🎄🥳 ◇We met some of the most prepared people ever! We "randomly" knocked on their door, taught them the Restoration, and put them on date to be baptized! They already had been to church a couple times and knew that the restored gospel is true! ◇We got to eat Thanksgiving with a cute family in our stake. It was actually my first time eating a meal with a member! It was amazing! ◇We got transfer calls this week! Sadly, I'm going to be ...

{Update #5} She's Arrived!

Image
Hermana Goold didn't have time to write a letter this past week, so here I am to let you know that she has safely arrived to the Salt Lake City-West Mission!    She met her mission president and companions.     And even had time for a quick phone call on Google Hangouts, where she let us know that she's serving in Taylorsville.  I'm already a HUGE fan of the communication changes for missionaries!   Feel free to drop her a quick email or snail mail to say, "Hello," and wish her well on her first days in the field and especially with speaking Spanish! Thank you for love and support of Emma!    Love,  Emma's mom

{Letter #36} Happily Ever After

Image
Once upon a time a girl got her mission call to Toronto Canada. She started the mtc online and three weeks later got reassigned to the Salt Lake City West Mission. A lot of people asked her how she felt and she would smile and say that she was excited. But there was always a twinge of disappointment. She finished up her training and headed to Utah. She still wasn't sure about everything when she got there, but she went with it. She had hard days, she had sad days, she had days where she had no idea what she was doing, but through it all there was something that kept her going. Something that helped her feel joy. She didn't realize it, but she was learning to love being a missionary. She was learning to love serving in Utah. She loved the people in West Jordan, Kearns, West Valley, and Taylorsville. She loved serving. She loved teaching. She even loved knocking doors. Things she never thought she'd love to do. Suddenly, before she knew it, her time as a missionary was up. Af...
