Traylor, Allison

Hey everyone! I probably say this in every email, but man the weeks FLY by! I blink and then boom its pday again haha! This week was pretty great, I love being a missionary:) I had a pretty cool personal experience this week where it really just dawned on me that this is exactly where I want to be and exactly what I want to be doing. I've never felt joy and fulfillment and love like I have as a missionary. Also I'm super excited for this coming weekend!! It's general conference and we get to go in person! I am so so so excited!  Here's some of this week's highlights: -SERVICE!: we helped this old couple pull weeds from their garden and we were there for 2 hours and filled 4 huge garbage bags, and it still looked like we barely made any progress so we might go help again some time :)  -MUSIC!: me and my companion participated in a musical number with 12 other missionaries so we had practices throughout the week which were all super fun. A group of us played the Organ...

Hey everyone!! Sister Traylor here:) The weeks seriously FLY by its crazy! I hit my 2 month mark as a missionary yesterday which was fun! I had a pretty awesome week :) I'm here in my area (Oquirrh stake and Oquirrh Point stake) until the beginning of November!! (that's when the next transfer is for us) So I'm pretty excited I LOVE my area and would love to stay even after that like its the best area and I'm finally getting to know everyone and building friendships and connections with them.  This week I felt more love than ever before, from my family & friends, my zone here (the missionaries around me), and from Heavenly Father :) I know He's looking out for me and I'm SO glad he's put people in my life that I need. I dealt with a difficult situation this past week and my zone took me out to get Boba drinks and pizza last Monday to cheer me up, my mom sent all my favorite things and favorite flowers, and lots of my friends who knew, reached out just to ...

Hey everyone! This week honestly flew by like I literally feel like pday was just yesterday! Here's some stuff that's happened this week :) ... -We got transfer news this weekend and luckily me and my companion are both staying together and in the same area so we're pretty happy   -it hit 107⁰ outside on a day we had lots of distance to walk . I have so many weird tanlines its so embarrassing haha -I tried Dutch bros for the first time (it's pretty good but overpriced and way overhyped like its basically expensive chocolate milk ) -theres an antimormon down the street from us and he's wild. He posts pictures of missionaries with all their personal info like names hometowns hobbies families how long theyve been out to his pages and followers (he's honestly kinda a cult leader he's scary) and he posted about me and my companion , but he didn't take a picture with us so he just posted our information and names and all that. I've never met someone who f...

Hey everyone!! It was a pretty good week for me :) Since my last email, some of the most exciting/good/fun/memorable things that happened were... -Zone Olympics!! (my zone won BIG TIME and had so much fun)  -Zone Conference! (I learned a lot and it was super spiritual) -Celebrating my "birthday" at a Mexican restaurant (no it wasn't my birthday, so I was just as confused as yall probably are reading this . we went out to eat and the other sister missionaries told them it was my birthday when I was in the bathroom and so they sang to me and gave me cake. Our waiter was also basically in love with me or something haha. He stared at me the whole time and kept trying to convince me that we know each other because he swore he's seen me before. The other sister missionaries teased that it's probably from his dreams (that he's seen me before) and he agreed which was super embarrassing but funny. -Attending a Spanish baptism (some missionaries asked me and my compani...
