DON'T WAIT FOR THE WORLD TO GET BETTER

Life is good in the Nauvoo Hood. 

 

This week has been SO great! I absolutely love serving in Carthage, and I absolutely love the people I serve with. There is a senior couple that I serve with, Elder and Sister Hanson, and they are MY FAVORITE. We live on the same floor of a giant house and we go over almost every night for cookies or ice cream, and it's SO FUN!\

 

 

 

I JUST LOVE MUSIC AND SCRIPTURES!!!!!

Well, I have ten minutes left of email time...So I'm sorry if this email sucks. Hehe

This week was great!!! there is way too much to write!!!! I don't have a ton of photos because, lucky me, my camera was smashed in our mini van seat and has....died. It was a slow and painful death and I miss it terribly. So enjoy a selfie and a photo of the ORIGINAL door of the martyrdom room in Carthage Jail. 

 

1st Mission Talk

Hello everyone! Just a little intro, my name is Sister Pugmire and I am from Vancouver Washington. I love music, art, poetry, photography, and pretty much any outward expression of emotion. I never ever in a million years thought I would serve a mission, but here I am in Nauvoo riding a bike in a Pioneer dress around town...and here I am loving it.

I was asked to speak today about Personal Revelation. When I first received my topic I shrugged it off as something that wasn't too important. Personal Revelation wasn't something I'd given much thought to, or consciously used much in my life before a mission. But as I began to study for my talk, I began to understand the significance of revelation.

CARTHAGE BOUND!

Hellooooo! 

So, my pday has been changed to Tuesday for this transfer, and of course I failed to mention that last week. #sorry

So guess what?? I have been moved to Carthage! They got too tired of me in Nauvoo, so now I'm half an hour away serving in Carthage jail with 2 other companionships! So crazy!!! I have a new comp, and her name is Sister Stirling. And yes, she is related to Lindsey Stirling. SHE IS SO AWESOME!!!! I love her!!! She is 21, super chill, super funny, and a way better missionary than me even though I am supposed to be training her! Also we have 8 new sister missionaries here including my comp and they are so sweet and so excited to be here! I LOVE THEM!!!!!!

KITTENS AND STORMS

Hello Everyone!!!

 

This week has been pretty crazy! I had to give a talk this Sunday on Personal Revelation! Eeeek! I'll send it to ya'll once I get it all typed up! I was sooo nervous, and while I was introducing myself up there they raised the stand and so I screamed...right into the mic in front of everyone...it's casual.

 

 

BABY GOOSE SAVES THE DAY

Hello everyone!!

So, random fact for you, I found out that the population of Nauvoo is 1,100 people! Isn't that insane? I mean, I thought Rexburg was small...this is insane! It's so funny to be in such a small town, preaching the good word in Pioneer Dresses. I love it though. :)

 

it's so funny, HAHAHA

OKAY HELLO EVERYONE I HAVE 48 EMAILS AND AN HOUR AND A HALF TO RESPOND SO SORRY IF THIS SUCKS

This week has been good! I am seriously loving my companion! In the sites we talk about the WEIRDEST things...We planned our funerals and said we were going to set ourselves on fire? And we meow like cats a lot? And quote Hot Rod, Zoolander, Spongebob, and Moulin Rounge at least 50 times a day? It's kind of the best. We say something we're grateful for about each other every night and one night she just goes..."I'm grateful that you have eczema..." because she has it too and I laughed for a good 20 minutes. I only get to be with her for a couple more weeks and then I have a new companion and I'll most likely be TRAINING. I don't even want to talk about it.
