Week 64: It's 112 degrees in this oven
Things to know:
- Yeah so Lewiston is literally the fiery furnace rn. This last week it was over 108 like every single day, and the high was 112. We did less tracting and a lot more contacts so we could blast the AC driving between every contact hahaha. Also may or may not have ran through sprinklers because it was so hot.- Speaking of church we had like 4 friends come so that was awesome! For some reason people do not want to come to church, probably because its the summer. But our friend Mike Small came again and loved it as usual! We had some friends come in the YSA too! Excited to start finding on campus soon because there will actually be students.
- Had an exchange with Sister Fotu again and it was SO FUN! Literally nobody makes me laugh as hard as she does. Since she is in a trio we can pull her and her companions on little trio exchanges one at a time, so we did that with her! I have never laughed so hard at a member dinner. #...chicken #iykyk
- We also went up to Moscow for their stake breakfast and it was so fun! The zone leaders said we were invited, so we came so we could meet the zone and get to be with the sisters. Because now we just have the one companionship in Moscow and the other in our zone in Clarkston. We were back in time to start our day in Lewiston too so it worked great!
- Some of our members had us over for dinner and they set up their table like Harry Potter and it made me happy. #tendermercies
Stories of the week:
- We put our friend Cissa on date for baptism and she is so awesome! She used to be taught my missionaries and said she had wanted to get baptized but her boyfriend didn't want her to. But now he's in jail so #blessings. Haha just kidding that's not something to celebrate, but our first lesson with her we set her date for August 27th! She is super excited and she already came to church! We have 3 other friends on date but she is definitely the most solid. A couple of weeks ago we sadly dropped our awesome friend Roxanne and our other friend Mike. But its cool to continue finding the prepared and focusing on those who are willing to change!
Spiritual thought:
- Sometimes I run out of creativity for these but here's a quote I wanted to share:
"When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power"
I have such a strong testimony of obedience and the happiness that comes from it. I have seen so much more power in my missionary work as I have been obedient. A lot of missionaries just make excuses and don't care about the little things like following safeguards or having their family send them stuff from home; but I know that when we focus on what is most important like following what God wants us to do that we see so many more blessings, and find true happiness:))
Thats all!
Love ya!
Have the best week!

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

Gotta write a quick one this week so sorry! Love and miss you all :))
Things to know:
- Dawnjeana got baptized and it was AMAZING!!! Such a special day
- I hit my 14 months
- Went on 2 exchanges outside of our area this week and it was fun! Still found 7 new too
- Said goodbye to Sister Asay since she leaves soon, that was sad
- I talked in Sacrament again and it was great!
Stories of the week:
- We went to go contact someone and they were breaking up with their boyfriend and so it was super awkward hahahah. They were standing outside the door and we walked around the corner of the stairs of her apartment and saw her and her boyfriend with some PDA. Mortified.

Week 61: Lights Out
Hey y'all! This week was awesome!!! Hope everyone is doing good. My fam is in cabo but jokes on them because I dont miss them at all.
Things to know:
- A couple weeks ago Dawnjeana asked us to move her baptism back to August 6th. This week we had an awesome lesson with her and we invited her to pray about when the Lord needed her to be baptized. Then she texted us today and said she wants to move her date up to THIS SATURDAY! Such a miracle!!! We are so excited for her.
- We had zone conference and it was fun! Except for the fact that I keep realizing the longer I'm on my mission, the less missionaries I know. Don't know how to explain it but #iykyk. Wished I could have seen all my friends there before they go home soon but its fine. And I miss my apartment in North, you know who you are!
- Went on two exchanges this week and they were so fun! Went with Sister Foote who is a BEAST and Sister Bartels who came out with me and her and I just switch places a lot haha so it was fun to finally get to go on an exchange with her! She's fun :))
- Said bye to Sister Gibbs, she left for the MTC this week! She is going to be such an amazing missionary! Miss you already!!
- We chopped wood for like 4 hours this week and my whole entire body is sore but now I'm hopefully shredded too.
- We had p-day at Presidents house today and it was super fun!!! We have been in the car for 4 hours tho haha. Also kinda funny tho because they said they were switching up the groups to get missionaries together that don't get to see each other at the usual zone conference groups, and we went with Moscow and we always go together.
- I spoke in Sacrament in my family ward and it was great, until our branch president texts and asks me to speak in the YSA next week. Good thing I love the Lord!
Stories of the week:
- HAHA this is so embarrassing. Sister Lundell and I talked to some friends after Sacrament and so we had to go late to relief society. As I go to open the door I accidentally hit the light switch with my elbow. I thought at first it was the hallway light, but as soon as it happened I knew what I had done. I stood there in horror knowing what I had done, and someone opened the door to come turn the light on and saw Sister Lundell and I standing there like dirty culprits! Haha we laughed for like 5 minutes and then went inside and I apologized, I was mortified.
Spiritual thought:
I shared my testimony on prophets this week and all I have been thinking about is what my life would be like without the Restoration. I am so grateful for modern-day prophets and the power of the priest to give us modern-day revelation and guidance! We truly would be lost without a prophet. If you don't know He is the true and living prophet, do what Joseph Smith did. Pray to God and ask!!
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
