Shaylee's Mission Nov 18th-24th

TRANSFERS

CHAPTER 20: Gateway YSA/ Downtown Edmonton

WEATHER:  

These last two weeks have been crazy!!! Here's your update: 

TRANSFERS: 

Im staying in YSA! Im living in a quad now with 3 sisters who came out with me! Its going to be a party! Ill miss my old companionship but this transfer will be super fun!!! 

JD DISTRICT: 

My district this transfer was amazing! At the beginning of the transfer we set a goal that we wanted to be known as the "joyful district- hence the name JD" anyway i have loved serving around them! We all went to the temple on Tuesday for our p-day. Than on wednesday we all went to a service where we are shipping things to Africa! Than that afternoon we had our last district council! It was honestly sad but the spirit was so strong! President and Sister Matheson came to that district council so it was honestly just good all around! 

SICK:

Sister Dent was sick this weekned and so we spent two days inside the house. We had a couple lessons that couldn't be rescheduled so we hid her in a room at the church and me and Sister Clark still taught the lessons. Being trapped in the house is honestly the most boring thing ever. Especially as a missionary. There is literally nothing to do than to read your scriptures (which is great haha but that's a long time for scripture study) Anyways, send prayers that Sis.Dent starts to feel better so we arent trapped inside this house any longer than we have to be 

OTHER THINGS THAT HAPPENED: 

♡ Went thrifting with members 

♡ Beat our friend Taylor in our weekly bash session (after getting demolished last week) 

♡ Built the same puzzle 5 different times 

♡ Got matching PJ w/ Sis. Clark

♡ Got dumped by 2 friends 

♡ Almost got in a car crash (driving in the snow is gonna be miserable) 

♡ Ronak (our friend) gave us all christmas gifts 

♡ Already had a Christmas party in YSA! (Everyone in university is going back home for the holidays so its about to be rough... wish us luck, plus its finals season ) 

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: 

John 14:18♡♡♡

I love and miss you all! 

 Sister Monson 

 

Preston @ Mammoth Hockey game

Being a BYU student preston gets deals on Mammoth hockey tickets.  He was able to grab some for 15$ so his roomate Hollis and him ran up to a game.  Preston has class in SLC on tuesday and thursday nights so he made sure the game was on one of those nights so he would already be up that way.  It was a hard lose, but he said it was still really fun to watch.

 

Shaylee's Mission Nov 11th-18th 2025

Shaylee didn't send a email this week so you're stuck with me and I'm way behind on writing this so I'll see what i remember about our call. This week they had some good views of the northern lights.  Shaylee was at some members house and got some good shots of the northern lights.  Shaylee also found the same hill Dean took some pictures on while he was in that area serving so she posed and re enacted this pictures.  so fun.  She is still in a trio but next week is transfers and she thinks she will be staying to lead out the area on campus. They also did a temple trip this last week and were able to run into a few other missionaries who were doing a session as well so they made sure to get pictures together.  She said the work has been slow because of finals going on so most people are in studying.  She loves the gospel and always has a smile on her face. I  sure do love her.
