 Heyyyyyyy!!!!! 

Another amazing week!! And it FLEW by!! I can't believe I have 9 weeks left on my mission. I want to make these the best ever. 

Our mission made a video this week to teach members how they can help with missionary work in the age of Corona and not gonna lie it's fire. We're kinda the stars. I'll probs post to FB soon or send to y'all. 

We had church this week (it's every other week) and all the missionaries gave talks. Because we go to all 3 sessions, at 9am, 10:30 and 12pm, we're in the chapel for like 4 hours. Also, there aren't too many people in the 1st session so I have been called on to lead the music every time without fail. Which, is usually fine, leading isn't hard. But one time it was this random song that I had never heard before (I'm pretty sure it's just in Portuguese) so I had no idea how to lead or sing it. So that was a train wreck. But it's okay. Fazer o que. Good times.

We had Zone Conference this week which was just amazing and super spiritual. 

We wanted to bike for our morning exercise so we borrowed the elders bikes. It was such a meme. 

I got to go on splits with Sisters Krumperman and Aki!! Probs my fave part of being an STL. I love them so so much. 

I love you all!!

 Sorry guys! Busy pday! But here's a few quick highlights:

-We officially found someone to teach through Facebook! She posted that she was moving to Emigration Canyon and we talked to her a bit. Last week she arrived and we went up to meet her. It was super pretty to drive through the canyon. She is awesome and has already begun reading the Book of Mormon and seems very open! We're excited

-One night we randomly passed East High as we were coming home so we took some cute selfies. 

-Sunday night we had a live where a lady in the ward shared her conversion story and we taught English Connect via Zoom. A party!

-Today we went to the Hogle Zoo and had lunch at the Habit! It was a super  fun pday

Love you all!!

Wow guys! This week absolutely flew by. I can't believe I've been in this mission for 2 transfers. I've got only 2 left which is insane! I've loved my mission and I'm so grateful for all I've learned. 

This week is transfers and there are lots of exciting changes. The Portuguese area got split again so now there will be 6 missionaries in our ward. I'm kind of sad because Sister Davidson will be leaving us. But, the good news, is she won't be going far. She'll be training a Sister reassigned from Portugal and we'll still see each other all the time. Also, I got called as a Sister training leader!!! That means I'll get to do splits with Sister Davidson which I am hyped for! It'll be a fun transfer.

This week was really fun. We went and visited a bunch of members and brought them cookies. We talked for awhile on the porch and it was just nice to get to know them. Video call lessons are just not the same. I love our ward and I love the chance to serve and get to know people. 

We also visited Joselia and Kelly, our converts. They're my favorite and make me so happy. Kelly was telling us about what she's been reading in the Book of Mormon and it makes me so proud. I love them. 

I love the mission. I'm excited for these last couple months!! 

Love,
Sister Dobbs

Here are some pics from our pday hike. We did donut falls again but went way further and it was so pretty.
