Hello friends!!
It's been another fantastic week here in Riverside!!
:D Including the weather, with some nice, sunny, 68-degree days... See pics
below. ;)
I've had some pretty exciting meetings this week,
including one not for my mission. :O Yep - for the Scotland/Ireland mission!!
WHAT I know!! When Sister Henriod made it there, the advertising team of elders
immediately asked her, "Sister Henriod, do you know a lot about FB
ads?" She said, "no, but my companion in California does!" So I
had a Zoom call with their mission and helped answer questions about
advertising on Facebook hahaha!! The things you NEVER thought you'd do or
learn! :D So fun!! We also had zone introductions and our amazing zone leaders
bought us all pizza! Woohoo! They're the best. We ate dinner with some of my
favorite people too. ;) On Saturday we went to Lynn's with the Canyon Crest
elders! :D And on Sunday, President and Sister Watson invited us over! Wow!!
Such a treat. :) It was so fun talking to all of them; they're amazing.
On Friday Sister Noall and I practically had the
best afternoon EVER. I'm telling y'all; missionary work can be the most fun
thing in the whole world and I can't believe how much I love it. :)) We spent a
couple hours in downtown Riverside, prepping for Instagram work! We took all
sorts of videos, pictures, and clips for Instagram posts, stories, and reels.
If that's not the most entertaining way to do missionary work, I don't know
what is! It was awesome!! :D We went to the courthouse, butterfly wall, Mission
Inn, Tio's Tacos, and more. So stay tuned for our awesome Instagram work there
@findjesus.inlandempire! ;)
Lastly, we had some amazing lessons with Samantha
Saldana, Ricardo, Charlita, and so many others we're teaching! Woohoo!! Both
ASL and English. :) And I'm understanding most of it, even if they only sign
with one hand because they're holding their phone with the other hand lol. :)
The gift of tongues is real. We are both so surprised how blessed we are this
transfer, with lots of friends to teach (about 15!), friends coming to church,
videos being made, and the work going forward! It's the best!!
Last but not least, I went on exchanges!! And I
wasn't the STL!! Haha woohooo!! :)) I went with Hermana Neider (we lived
together in Murrieta) It was a huge blessing because we got to have our
exchange in my very first apartment here in the mission (the old Canyon Crest
apartment!). :D Talk about nostalgia woah! I loved every second of it. My very
first exchange was there, in that apartment, going to Spanish land, doing studies
by the pool, and drinking Polar Pops with Hermana Weston. My last exchange was
there, in that apartment, going to Spanish land, doing studies by the pool, and
drinking Polar Pops with Hermana Neider. I couldn't have asked for anything
better. <3 So so so SO many wonderful memories there. Wow.
I love you all so much; keep up the awesome things
you're doing. Don't forget to do the little things - say your prayers. Read
your scriptures. And go to church. It's important. CPR for a reason. ;) Miss
you! See you next week!
Love, Sister Goss
