Week 11: Offroading on empty

 Waddup everyone! Hope you all had a good Pioneer Day this week! I miss the fireworks a lot because we can't do them here since we have been having a lot of fires. This week wasn't too exciting until today haha so I'll have to tell about it in the stories section. Tomorrow is my new sister-in-law's birthday so if you know Jane, wish her a happy birthday! :) 

Things to Know:
We are continuing to do tons of finding here in the Silver Valley, and it is hard work lemme tell ya haha! But its very worth it and I really am just loving being on that missionary grind. We saw a cool miracle this week on our way to contact this lady named LeeAnn who had dropped the missionaries in the past (they didn't want to be taught anymore). Sister Bowman and I both felt the spirit prompt us to go visit her, and so we show up and she isn't home. As we are walking away, we walk past this garage a couple houses down and see a man working on a motorcycle and we both felt prompted to talk to him so we looked at each other and then walked over. Turns out this guy was LeeAnn's husband, and after we talked to him for a couple of minutes, LeeAnn came home and met us and we had a super awesome lesson and found out she is interested in meeting with missionaries again! Miracles woo! We also had a new friend of ours invite himself to our church so that was awesome. As far as our progressing people, we don't have any news because a lot of our people have been sick or out of town. So fingers crossed for next week!

Stories of the Week:
Today we wanted to go on a hike as a zone, because one of the other members wanted to take us up to one in our area in Wallace. We were in a rush because some elders came but had to leave right after the hike, and so I didn't have time to get gas. After driving halfway up a mountain on almost empty, we stopped and I told the member we didn't have any gas. So he tells us that his cabin is 10 minutes up the mountain on this other dirt road and he has some extra gas tanks so we were like okay sweet lets go. So we start driving and I am straight up offroading in the Idaho mountains in a Chevy Equinox. It was so bumpy and full of rocks and I literally have never been so stressed in my life. Pretty sure I was seconds away from going into Cardiac Arrest. TIWI (what monitors our speed and driving as missionaries) gave me an aggressive driving, and I was really close to bottoming out a couple of times. We finally got up to the cabin on the VERY TOP of the mountain and I had been driving on empty for 30 minutes. It was so stressful I just sat and cried after we got up to the top lol. BUT, everyone survived! We got filled up on gas, and now I can say that I went offroading in a road car haha. The hike ended up being super pretty and the view was so worth it! And lesson learned in never going below a quarter of a tank haha. Also on a short little random note, Sister Bowman and I had another member from out of town pay for our meal haha!

Spiritual thought:
One of the days this week I had a hard day because every door we knocked on had rejected us and I was super worn out and bummed. The next morning I read in Nephi 1:16 when Nephi breaks his bow and Laman and Lemuel sit and complain about all the bad things that happened to them. Instead of complaining, Nephi trusted in the Lord, and went out and made a new bow and thanked God for all the blessings he had been given. I decided that I did not want to be like Laman and Lemuel and complain, but trust that this is the Lord's work and go out and work hard even if I get rejected, or "break my bow". I know that as I go out and work hard like Nephi, that I will be able to see blessings from trusting in the Lord and His timing. This is his work and I am just called to assist! I challenge you all to try and trust in His will this week and see the blessings that come from it!

I love you all and hope you have a great week this week!

LOVE,
Sister Dickson

Week 10: Free the Greenies

 Hello everyone! Hope you all had an awesome week! I don't have a ton to update on, but I'm jumping into the work here in Silver Valley B. Sister Bowman and I are trying to work super hard to prove that greenie missionaries are 100% capable without trainers! We've been constantly tracting, contacting, and doing other finding methods to try and find others to teach. Its been awesome so far because we both have the same excitement and drive for missionary work. Also on July 12th I hit my two months! So crazy how time flies. I love being a missionary!


Things to know:
Silver Valley B is so beautiful, and just as awesome as Silver Valley A. My last area was the west side of the valley, and my new one is on the east side. The only hard thing is that the apartment is at the front end of the valley, and so we have to drive 15 minutes just to get into our area. There's not as many friends being taught, but Sister Bowman and Sister Bachman put a friend named Sharee on date! She is a single mom of 3, and one is a brand new baby! And we are also hoping to put one of our friends named John on date soon. The new sister that came into our apartment to be with Sister Wilson is named Sister Sprehn and she is from Denmark! She is so cute and so awesome. We all have so much fun together. And I love being companions with Sister Bowman, we have the same humor so it's a blast. We definitely have to rely on the spirit tho since we are both still super new!

Stories of the week:
While out in one of the cities in my area called Wallace, Sister Bowman and I were getting dinner at a restaurant and ran into some members from Utah! They asked to pay for our dinner and they sat with us to eat and it was so fun. I guess you can still get spoiled as an Idaho missionary! Haha!
Also its super smoky here from all the fires here and in the West coast. A bunch of accidents on the freeway have happened these last 3 weeks, and like 3 semi trucks have overheated and exploded. Its so crazy! 

Spiritual thought:
This week my spiritual thought is on being responsible. Sometimes its really easy to make excuses, especially in missionary work. But I have learned this last week that you can either make excuses, or you can be responsible for your mistakes and do better next time. Satan is the one who wants you to make excuses, point fingers at others, and deflect responsibility. A BYU speech called be 100% responsible talks about this: 

"When Satan tempts a person to avoid responsibility, that person subtly surrenders their agency because the person is no longer in control or “acting.” Instead they become an object who is being acted upon, and Satan cleverly begins to control their life". 

Don't let Satan gain control of you! Take responsibility for your actions, repent, and change! Making excuses will only make you more miserable. I have seen the Lord hand work miracles as we turn to Him with full responsibility. So I challenge you to be responsible this week and see what great changes and blessings it will bring! 

I love you all so much!! I pray for you all and hope you have a great week and a great 24th of July this weekend!

Lots of love,
Sister Dickson

Week 9: I'm getting transferred?!

 What is up everyone! This was a super exciting week, we had two exchanges, President LeBaron's mission tour, and got transfer calls today. I've also been a missionary for officially two months now (WHATTT!) and my sister Hailey's birthday was on Saturday, so happy late birthday Hai!


Things to know:
So yes we had transfer calls this morning. And as you saw in the subject line, I am getting transferred... TO THE OTHER AREA IN MY APARTMENT!!! HAHA WOOHOO SILVER VALLEY A TO SILVER VALLEY B! I was super sad this whole week because after our mission tour, President had a leadership meeting and told everyone that STL's were all becoming companions this next transfer. So I totally thought I wasn't going to be with Sister Wilson and we were praying all week that she could get released or that I could get called as the new STL to stay companions with her haha. I didn't want to leave Sister Wilson or all my amazing friends in my area. We seriously were praying and fasting for a miracle that we could stay together, and Heavenly Father answered our prayers! We didn't end up as companions and I moved out of my area, but seriously such a miracle that I get to be in Silver Valley still. Because now I can still party with Sister Wilson, and see my friends when they come to church since we ward share! My new companion is Sister Bowman, who was the other trainee that came in with me last transfer, so now that we are together it means that we are out of training haha! PARTY! I guess I'm a pretty good missionary if I don't need 2nd training haha just kidding. But I'm super excited to be with Sister Bowman, she is from Denver and went to BYU at the same time as me but we never met until the mission. She makes me laugh super hard and I'm excited for this new area, this next transfer will be super awesome! 

Stories of the week:
I guess updating on my friends won't do much since I'll be in a new area soon, but I'll tell you one cool story from this week. One of our new friends named Kevin had a lesson this week on the Plan of Salvation and I explained that in order to live with God in the Celestial Kingdom we need to make covenants like baptism. Then I asked if he would ever be interested in being baptized so that he could prepare to live with Heavenly Father and HE SAID YES! So we didn't put him on date, but hopefully Sister Wilson can continue to help him progress and I'll have to let you all know when he gets baptized :D Amy's mom and family came to church again this week and that was super awesome, as well as Randy! We had a super cool lesson with Randy on the Restoration this week too. The Mission tour this week was awesome too! It was so fun to get to see President and Sister LeBaron and their family, and have an intro into the mission. They have me fired up to teach about the Restoration and use more technology! I also got to meet Sister Wilson's other trainee before me, and it was so fun to meet her. It was like a family reunion since we have the same "Mom" haha!

Spiritual thought:
This week my spiritual thought is on the Priesthood. As well as fasting and praying about transfers, I got a Priesthood blessing because I was feeling super nervous about it. I felt so much overwhelming comfort and peace as soon as I got the blessing. And only a couple hours later all my prayers were answered for transfers! I am so grateful for the power of the Priesthood and all the blessing that come from it. I love being able to draw on the Priesthood power through my calling as a missionary. I am so grateful for all the ordinances and covenants I am able to have because of the power of the Priesthood. God's power is so real and it has blessed my life in more ways than I can count, and I honestly would be nowhere without it. I would have no knowledge of the truth of this gospel without the Priesthood being restored to Joseph Smith. I love learning more and more and growing my testimony about this gospel every day! There is always so much more we can learn, so read up on those scriptures and you will be amazed at the blessings that will be poured out upon you through God's power!

Sorry for another long one, ya'll just might have to get used to this haha. Love and miss you all a ton! Have a great week :)

Love you lots,
Sister Dickson

Week 8: Miracles galore! And spiders...

 Hello all my people! Happy late 4th of July! I hope you all had a fun week with family and friends. This was such a great week full of lots of miracles & fun (and spiders)! Which you'll get to hear more about down below :) This week was also my brother Schyler's birthday and I got to call him for a bit (I'm allowed to call for any family special occasions, like birthdays and weddings) and that was super fun! So happy late birthday Schy Last week for Pday we got to go to Coeur d'Alene and it was so fun! We ate at a nice restaurant on the resort, got a huge ice cream called gooeys, walked on the dock, and souvenir shopped! It was super fun. Also so sorry everyone, I've been trying to keep these emails short but its hard because there is so much to talk about. So thanks for bearing with me haha.

Things to know:
President and Sister Thompson are officially gone :,( but President and Sister LeBaron are officially here!!! They had a mission wide zoom on Friday night to introduce themselves and I got to say the opening prayer for it! I'm so happy they are here! They said the mission is going to have lots of exciting changes with more tech and social media, so if you know me you know I'm hyped for that! This week we had more exchanges, I went with Sister Bowman on Tuesday while our trainers were at the last Mission Leadership Conference with President Thompson. So the greenies took over the Silver Valley!! We had a super fun and successful day and our trainers were glad we didn't burn down the valley haha. Also for the main miracle this week: Your prayers are working people! We got AMY'S WHOLE FAMILY TO CHURCH! Her mom included! I was so so SO happy. Her mom Rindy listened to two of our lessons with Amy this week and said she wanted to come to church and we couldn't believe it. Our prayers to have Rindys heart softened were answered! She brought all of Amy's siblings and they said they loved church and are coming again next week! Everyone pray we can just baptize the whole family now okay?! :D

Stories of the week:
Okay so the spider stuff is because I killed/encountered 3 spiders this week. On top of like 3 last week too. The main spider story happened while we were helping Shelly move out of her house since she just got "married". She asked us to come help sweep, and I am pretty sure her house hadn't been swept since she moved in to it. So nasty. Anyway, I was sweeping a dark nasty corner in one room, and a HUGE brown recluse straight up ran out. MY NUMBER ONE FEAR PEOPLE. I have been terrified of those guys since I read a book in 4th grade about what happens when they bite you. After I screamed super loud and jumped ten feet away,, Shelly and Austin run in and kill the spider and then laugh at me for screaming. They acted like it was normal to have brown recluses in the house. Anyway, back to the miracle stuff. This week we took Amy for a temple tour with a cute member from our ward and had an awesome lesson about the temple! Amy loved it and said she wants to go inside and do baptisms so bad it was so special. While we were about to leave, two elders walk out of the church building across from the temple, and you will never guess who it was. MY GOOD PAL FROM BYU, ELDER ROCKWOOD!! I was so so excited and I ran up and gave him the biggest handshake (Such a missionary I know lol)! It was so fun to finally see him, and such a miracle we happened to be there at the same time!

Spiritual thought:
My spiritual thought this week is on miracles! Haha. All you have to do is ask for them and God is waiting to give them. I see so many miracles as a missionary just by being obedient and asking. And they don't always come in the way you expect or right away, but if you are paying attention you will be able to see so many throughout your day. There is no such thing as coincidences, accidents, or 'getting lucky'. This quote about miracles from Sister Thompson explains it perfectly: "The only different between a miracle and a coincidence is you don't give God the credit". I love that! So start looking for those tender mercies and miracles, and I promise that you will be able to see at least one a day. God's hand in our life is so real, sometimes we just forget to ask or look for those miracles! So don't forget :) Love ya'll!

Have a legendary week everyone! Love you lots and talk to you next week! :)

Big love,
Sister Dickson!

Week 7: "Does anyone have a handheld microphone in this hotel?"

 What is up friends and family! I hope you all had a great week, because I did too! I don't have a ton of updates on our progressing friends, but we are still working on teaching and loving them all, and hope to see some great miracles soon :) This week we had some exchanges, zone conference, and my brother got married on Saturday! Congrats to Braxton and Jane, I am so happy for you two!  It was fun to get permission to call them on their special day and congratulate them. And I am so grateful for the blessings of the holy temple, and the knowledge that families are eternal (sorry Jane, you're stuck with Brax and the rest of the Shoe Crew now!). Okay back to missionary work haha. This week was so amazing and full of fun and super spiritual experiences, every day I am grateful for this opportunity to be a servant of the Lord.


Things to know:
So like I said, we had more exchanges this week! I went with Sister Bachman (the other trainer in my apartment). It was a party and we got to have lessons with a lot of friends and meet some new people too. There was also another wedding this week haha! But this one was for a lady named Shelly that Sister Wilson and I were teaching. All I will say about it is that it was a very different environment than my siblings wedding haha. And then we had ZONE CONFERENCE! ZC is the best thing on the planet. Three zones meet up and get to hear our mission president and wife speak. It was super bittersweet because this is President and Sister Thompson's last transfer :'( (I'll talk more about this later). We ate lunch together, had trainings + spiritual experiences galore, and saw/met all the missionary friends. Since I'm new I really only know the missionaries in my zone, but I definitely made lots of new friends and also got to see my favorite sister... SISTER MADDY SUE CLARK! She is a friend from high school and had been waiting to see her again ever since I got my mission call! It was such a sweet reunion.

Stories of the week:
My subject line is a quote from President Thompson at zone conference haha. He asked if anyone had a microphone in the HOTEL instead of the chapel and it made us all laugh so hard haha. He is so funny. Another thing is that the weather here is SO HOT. These last couple of days and this next week will all be over 100 degrees... and of course our apartment has no AC haha. So President told anyone without an AC to go stay the night at a members (and also that all the missionaries from Arizona praying for heat need to knock it off haha) and my apartment got to have a sleepover at a cute old lady's house in the ward. It was very fun, and a miracle we got to stay somewhere with AC. BUT, then God decided to send us another miracle! Two of our other members literally bought an AC for us and came and installed it yesterday. Now our apartment is feeling nice and cool instead of like the inside of a toaster oven! Hopefully we will all survive the extreme heat now that we have AC; but prayers would still be greatly appreciated so we don't get heat stroke or melanoma :D

Spiritual Thought:
Since it was his and Sister Thompson's last zone conference, you know they had to make it really good. Meaning it was full of tons of spiritual experiences and TONS of tears. I have never felt the spirit so strong, and it truly testified to me that there is nothing better for me to be doing right now than be on a mission. I know that Jesus is my Savior, and I have felt his love through my mission presidents. I have only known my mission president and wife for one transfer, but they have loved me so much (almost more than my own parents if that gives you an idea haha) since the moment I got here. Having to say goodbye was hard for me (you already know I cried my eyes out lol), so I can't imagine how all the other missionaries who have spent more time with the Thompsons are feeling. They are truly angels on earth, and I have learned so much from them during this last transfer of theirs. I will miss them tons, but I am also so excited for President and Sister Lebaron to come this week! I know that these two sets of mission presidents are exactly what I needed in my life, and I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for sending me to be with them. God knows what we need, and he will place us exactly where we need to be, with the people we need most. So look around and be thankful for those around you and all that God has blessed you with! Because there is so much to be thankful for :) The end.

Alright that is all for my week! Sorry that this is kinda long, but thank you to anyone that read this far haha. I love and miss you all so much and hope you have an awesome week and 4th of July! 

Lots of love,
Sister Dickson

Week 6: Free meal!

Hey hey hey! Another week has come and gone and I am in awe at how fast time is already flying. I love being a missionary so much!!! Every day is something new and I have already had so many experiences seeing how much light Jesus Christ brings others. Also, I accidentally sent last weeks email out as a second "Week 4" instead of "Week 5"... oops haha. So just pretend that never happened, and we can be back on track with Week 6 :). Anyway, this week was so awesome and was filled with so many fun things and spiritual experiences. I wish I could tell everyone about everything, but I'll just have to pick my favorites so you don't have to read a super long email.

Things to know:
This week we had interviews with President and Sister Thompson! They are so amazing, and I am honestly so sad I only get to be with them for only a month :(. They have helped me feel so welcomed and loved, and already taught me so much. We have Zone Conference this Thursday and I'm super excited to get to hear from them before they go home! This week we also had another exchange (since my companion is a Sister Training Leader she has to exchange with all the sisters in the zone, which means I get to do the same!) and I went with Sister Anderson. She is the sweetest person on the planet, and we found out we have so much in common. I love her so much! And yesterday at church we had 6 friends there! It was so awesome! Cayden is there every week with his family, Amy came for her second week in a row, and our friend Randy I talked about last week came for his second week too. Sister Wilson and I started teaching him last week and his friend Janell this week, and she came to church with him! We are hoping to have some good lessons this week with Randy and Janell; and with Amy and Cayden as well so that we can get closer to putting them on date! Our other two friends are named Sandy and Shelly and they weren't able to make it to church to watch in person, but they were able to watch over zoom which is still so great!

Story of the week:
This week we went to Cafe Rio for lunch after interviews with President. Sister Wilson and I were making friends with one of the workers and he was super funny. After we ordered and ate our lunch he literally brought me over a Tres Leches cake and a gift card for a free meal?! I was like what is happening bahah. The other sisters and I were laughing so hard. So anyway, just be friends with people and they'll give you free meals haha! On a more spiritual note, when I was on exchanges with Sister Anderson I had the coolest experience teaching this lady named Jennie. She told me basically her whole life story about how she grew up in the church but has never believed in God. Her whole life she has prayed but never felt him because she has super bad nightmares and sees demons at night (I am literally not making this up!), and a couple months ago it was so bad that she literally wasn't sleeping for months. She wanted help and the only thing she could think of was to get a blessing from the bishop (She is 31 and hasn't gone to church since she was 13!), and she said that after she got the blessing she slept for a full 8 hours for the first time in years! She was crying her eyes out and so of course I was too. I couldn't believe all the hard things she had been through but that she has been able to be guided back to God. I told her that it wasn't a coincidence that this happened, and that God was really there and loves her and was answering her prayers. She gave me the biggest hug and just broke down crying in my arms. It was seriously such a cool experience and I wish I could put it all into words.

Spiritual thought:
My spiritual thought this week is a continuation of what happened with Jennie. I don't know why Jennie had to go through those things to be able to find out that God is real, but I know that He did answer her prayers. This experience with her taught me that it's not a matter of IF He answers our prayers, but WHEN. Sometimes you might have to hang on a little longer to be able to learn what God needs you to learn. Sometimes you might feel like there is no way you can keep going, that God has given up on you and that it is too hard to keep going. Please be like Jennie. Keep trying, keep having faith, and I know that in the end it will all work out. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ can strengthen us if we rely on them. I know that they will always be there for us, even if it is hard for us to see it. When you feel like you can't go any further, find something that makes it worth it for you. Ask Heavenly Father for strength to continue. He won't give up on you so don't give up on Him. I promise that if you have faith and keep enduring, you will see those answers to your prayers come true. And please know that I love you so so much (and so do Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ hehe!) 

Helaman 5:12- "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

Alright thats all for the week! I hope you are all having a fun summer so far and that you all had an awesome Father's Day yesterday! Thank you to all the great father figures in my life who have been such great examples to me. Have a great week this week, and don't forget about me ;)

So much love,
Sister Dickson

Week 5: Milked my first goat!

 What is up my people! I am officially a month old as of June 12th. And this was my first full week in the field too! Crazy how fast its already flying by. This week was awesome and I want to tell all the awesome stuff. So I hope this won't be too long of an email haha.


Things to know:
First things first: I did indeed milk a goat and it was fun hahah but also really weird. I also got to hold baby goats and I drank the goat milk too and it honestly was pretty good. So you can call me a farm girl now. Sister Wilson and I eat subway almost every day and it is our new obsession hehe. We also got CPR certified on Tuesday so now we can save people spiritually and physically. We also had a sweet day of service on Saturday as a zone and we chopped some wood! Sister Gibby (one of the senior missionaries) came and had lunch with us and we got free minigolf at the pizza place and it was so fun! OH AND! WE HAD 3 OF OUR FRIENDS COME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY! INCLUDING AMY! I was so happy. One of the others is a guy in his late 40s named Randy and we haven't even started teaching him yet and he asked to come to church. So that was dope. The other person is Cayden and his whole family was baptized before we got here but he has hesitations. So please pray for him! Also pray for Amy and her mom because she wants to get baptized but her mom doesn't want her to until she's 18. We need a miracle people!

Story of the week:
We had exchanges on Friday after our JDC (Joint-District Council) and I got to go with Hermana Tobias in her area in Hayden Lake. We had some hilarious experiences tracting there bahaha. One guy was seriously just trying to mess with us, and was saying all this weird stuff about how if nobody drove cars the pollution would look like Tokyo. And then we gave him a pass along card and he said "Yeah no don't ever come here again" and shut the door. So funny. The next guy we met was saying our church wasn't true because we don't teach the "real" Bible. Apparently his "real" Bible says that Jesus is Adam reincarnated, and that we live in a Binary solar system with a second sun called Nabiru and every time it orbits close to earth that's when "crazy things" happen (like Noah's flood, the parting of the Red Sea, and the Star of Bethlehem). So watch out guys, next time Nabiru comes around, apparently that's when the second coming will be. Lol. People are so interesting. Anyway, the exchanges were super fun and entertaining and Hermana Tobias is my twin and I love her! And those are all my crazy stories.

Spiritual thought:
My spiritual thought this week is on Obedience. I had to give a spiritual thought in JDC about obedience and I feel like I learned so much more about it after studying about it. Obedience means doing what is asked of us because we love God. God is waiting to give us blessings, and as we are obedient he pours them unto us. And even though we might not know why we are asked to follow the commandments and obey, we just have to trust in God and Jesus Christ because they know what will benefit us! And remember that exact obedience brings miracles! Mosiah 2:41- "And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it." 

Anyways sorry this email was a little longer but I hope it gave you all some good laughs. Don't forget to please pray for Amy and Cayden! Email me if you are bored! I love you all and miss you just as much!

Love,
Sister Dickson

Week 81: How far away is that plane?

Ahhhh. It's a weird feeling writing your last weekly about your last week as a missionary. I have had so many mixed emotions this week. ...
