Shaylee Mission 9/9-9/15 2025

This week Shaylee did not get out an email so I will try to remember all that we talked about on the phone call that p-day.  Shaylee said it was a rough week.  They got a few referrals only to realize they would have to hand them off to another set of missionaries because they were just out of their mission area.  They were pretty bummed about that because there was a lady who seemed so eager to learn about the gospel and then to just hand her off to the Elders was tough.  They had a few of their friends ghost them for the week as well so they decided to go to a flower farm on their p-day and pick flower bouquets to take around to their friends in the area.  They were gorgeous flowers and it looked like a fun activity to do.  Shaylee said they were able to give most of the bouquets away and it felt good to see some of their friends.  Shaylee also had to go grab a Canada Sweatshirt for p-days because its getting a little chilly in the mornings and evenings and she only had like one hoodie she brought for p-days.  They also were judges for the chili cook off in their ward.  She said it was hard to decided and the chili's all tasted the same after awhile. lol.  They had fun though and the winner ended up being the same winner from last year.  They also had a ward campout and so they were able to go from the evening and play some games with the members and eat dinner.  She said they had AX throwing and she nailed it.  They also had services this week and had to help with a bike race happening.  They were in charge of making sure cars weren't in the race area while there were bikers.  They took turns holding the stop sign and the slow sign.  funny thing though the way they set up their chairs or something throw off the riders so when the leaders came through they went the wrong way and they had to find someone to get in the car and chase them down to turn around.  Shaylee said they were not in charge of making sure the bikers went the right way but they felt bad the leaders got lost and so they made sure everyone knew where to turn and didn't get lost.  They also had transfers that week and the Trio stayed together for another transfer,  This is Sis. Ballards third transfer there and Sis Hinds second and Shaylees second.  Shaylee does enjoy the area.  She wishes it was bigger area, but she absolutely loves the ward and their house they live in.  She is doing well and loves teaching and learning more about the gospel of Jesus Christ.  She is a great example to all of us and we love her so much.
