Week 55 - The one with the "Sister - Merries"

Friends!

This week was really good here in the North Marion area! 

Some fun things that happened:

-More meetings 

-LINCOLN CITY with Sister Mullen for exchanges...she taught me some spanish, say hello to Hermana Fillmore ;) JK! 

-We wanted eggs so we called a member who has chickens and she gave us FRESH eggs! 

-Started to rain A LOT so I am trying to get over it ;)

-Weekly CHICK-FIL-A food truck for the win!

-We went LIVE on our page, go check it out!

-Lots of finding and lots of canceling from people which stinks but I just need to continue with patience...

-Wonderful members who I love and appreciate. One little boy calls us the "Sister-Merries" - Ha Ha.  Also, fun birthday celebration with a future missionary - See pictures!

-Pumpkin carving and sushi for district p-day! 

This week I really learned about patience! Coming from 6 months in an area with people I knew well to only being in Woodburn for 2 1/2 weeks and wanting to know everyone right away, I've had to slow down and take things one step at a time and have patience.  But I love the ward and have gotten to know a few that already have a special place in my heart.  I just need to have patience and realize that success is in the effort not the outcome. 

I love you so so much!

Abby

Future Sister Pace! She always tells us how much she wants to be a missionary so we
made her little name tag for her birthday so she could look more official. :)

Hermana Mullen - absolutely love her!  We had so much fun going on splits in Lincoln City!

Ah... the beach!

One of the best things about being an STL is that we get to go on splits and I get to meet
some amazing Sisters that will be my lifelong friends.

Fresh ombre eggs from Members!

Chick-fil-a food truck for the win!  ALL the missionaries know when the food truck is in town!

My new motto - thank you President Nelson! 

Love Sister Hawkes!

We LOVE our ward members that take good care of us! They know us as the "Sister-Merries". :)
