Sister McKay Dickson: Week 63: Lewistanky round 2?!

I am so lazy with these lately because I keep waiting until the end of pday and then I have no time. So I apologize to anyone who actually reads these, because they haven't been the best quality weeklies lol!

Things to know:

- So yeah transfer news came and I am staying in Lewiston! I made it sound like it was a surprise but it really wasn't, I just get moved around so much I can never be too sure. (Also Lewiston really doesn't stink as bad as everyone says it does, I just think the nickname is funny). Sister Lundell and I are staying together and I'm hyped! We are the same person and its so fun to be with a companion who wants to just go out & give everything! She'll be here 6 months so shes kinda ready to leave but it'll be sweet. We are gonna go crazy on the member work this transfer to shake up the finding!

- They also swept like 3 of our sisters out with elders next transfer so hahaha we just went from 5 Sisters down to 2. Kinda sad!

- I went on exchanges with Sister Fotu and it was so fun. Its cool to both of our growth since the last time I was her STL. Because honestly I had no idea what I was doing my 3rd transfer. She is so amazing though and I'm so glad we get to be here together.

- We went out to the boons of our area and did lots of finding and it was SO fun getting to do some mini road trips. Waha is the prettiest place ever. We also ate at the most BOMB restaurant in the middle of nowhere. My mission has lowkey made me want to live somewhere boonie someday.

- Our friends are all progressing pretty nicely and it's been cool to see some of them grow a lot. We are getting a temple date for Dawnjeana soon too. #letsgoo

- Celebrated some of the sisters milestones in the mission this week too so had some fun little lunch dates and things!

- Also went to a cool Dam in Orofino today for a last hurrah with the zone. I'm going to miss my friends. We did a hike and I was sad I couldn't swim in the reservoir and go off a sweet rope swing haha, but at least I could put my feet in.

Stories of the week:

- Our friend Mike came to church and he is literally the coolest. He said he didn't feel like coming, but something told him he should. One of our members gave a talk in Sacrament and he said it answered almost every single one of his questions and it was the most amazing experience hes ever had!! So cool. I love being a missionary!!!!

- Our housing coordinators came to fix our door this week and they just walked on in and let their dog in our house. It was so funny. His name is Roscoe and he's cool.

Spiritual thought:

Everyday there are so many great lessons i learn on the mission. I am seriously so grateful for the good times and the hard times that each teach me something. I love becoming who God needs me to be! It's definitely not an easy process, but I don't think it's meant to be. I have been trying to get out of that perfectionist mindset and just be happy with where I'm at in my journey. I know God is proud of me so who needs other peoples opinions right? :))

I love ya'll!

Can't believe I'm starting my 3rd to last transfer

Time flies when you're serving the Lord

Until next week,

Sister Dickson
