Letter from last week
So this week has been super busy! We did a lot and the days went fast. We have done a lot of service. We mowed yards and we needed to help people with their cars...which was cool.
We got two new people on date! I’ll keep you posted about all that. Samara was baptized this week and it was awesome. She was already on date when I got out here so I only got to meet with her a few times. I don’t know her that well but she was super excited and I can tell you it was so cool to see her smile! It was a great day.
We are heading for a tour at the Tillamook cheese factory today and we’ve got to run now so this weekly update is going to be small but I hope everyone at home is feeling the love of Heavenly Father and always remember he loves you!

Hi everyone! This week was fun we had a lot to do which means A LOT of service.
It’s great because it means we are busy making people happy!
We tore up a guys deck it was fun at first...we took out 32 boards and then he asked us to pull out every nail in each 2x6 so that was very productive...haha! Then we helped another family mow their yard. It was great but we had to cross a crazy freeway every time we had to dump the grass it was scary ahhh! Don’t worry...we missionaries are protected! ;) Then I helped a guy change his ball bearing on his car and drive line and we are right now pulling out the drain pan gasket and we had to pull out the starter and the move the fuel line! There was a lot that we did on this jeep Cherokee but I had so much fun helping him!
Then we helped an older couple lay down wood chips that was great because we got a lot of people to come and help. It was good to see people start to get together to help one another.
We went out for district lunch we went to the best clam chowder place in Oregon! We were told by so many people to go. It was so good. Oh my gosh! You have to eat there when you come out to Oregon soon.
I felt the spirit so strong this week. It is incredible here. Here is a good scripture I found this week: Alma 43:45. With all the crazy in the world and in Portland it was a good to remember what is truly worth fighting for. I was reading 1 Nephi chapter 10 and there were a lot of good scriptures but I especially loved 6, 10, 17-18. They are really strong scriptures and you should read them.
We have 2 newer people that we are trying to put on date next week and a new young couple so we are so excited! We are doing our best to get in homes since we can proselyte now, but it is hard because no one is outside and it is very difficult to get in to talk to people. Lessons have been hard to set up this week but we have stayed very busy and are always trying to keep productive and get our name out and about. We are working as hard as we can.
I have some good news...is everyone ready? I'm going to be a DAD! Haha! Don’t panic! That is what we say when we get to train a greenie...new missionaries that come to the field. I'm so so excited to train this new greenie. I have no idea who he is or where he is from, but you can bet he will be a hard working missionary if I train him! 😜🤫
I hope everyone’s week is going well and I miss all of you. Thank you to all who email me. We are really busy so a lot of times I forget or just don’t get time to email back on P-Day so I'm so sorry for that! I will try my best to do better.
Love all of you and have a good rest of your week #elder BEEZERboyd
