Hey boys This week was awesome!!!  We had transfers. That was not the awesome part... but I got to pick up all the new missionaries from the airport!!! Super weird being there tbh. So cool to get to meet all the new missionaries though! At transfers we lost a solider. We went from super lit trio: Sister Pack, Sister Ray and I.... to a joke cracking duo!!! Sister Ray and I are running up Burien this transfer by ourselves Sister Pack was here for 6 months so we are adjusting to being in this area without her wisdom and knowledge. BUT I get to finish Sister Ray's training and its been so fun. She is hilarious. Plus, in the wee hours of the night she becomes a chef. She often makes me bread. Don't be surprised when I come home 200 lbs heavier Here's a little update on a couple of the peeps we are teaching! I'm not good at sharing about them often so im trying to be better  QUEEN VIOLA  Viola is the cutest lil sassy lady who has been taught by missionaries since February!...

I am no longer an english speaking missionary... not sure if I've mentioned this but Seattle is a huge melting pot!  I am either butchering some spanish contacts or I am a google translate missionary for people who speak Amharic, French, Portuguese, Persian, Cambodian, Chuukese, or Marshalese.  The problem in this area isn't finding people who are interested in learning more about Jesus Christ. The problem is finding a way to teach them so that they can fully understand.  I am learning so much about different cultures and religious backgrounds. People are amazing. I really believe that you can learn something about God's character from EVERY religion  I really wish I could remember and share every miracle I've experienced in this area but there really just isn't enough time. My favorite one from this week is about our friend Joelle (Julie) we are teaching... Joelle is from Ethiopia. She speaks a couple different languages but prefers french. Luckily her english is p...

BELLO  Pretty much nothing new over here! We had a solid week but nothing crazy happened! But...I'll give you a rundown just for fun and because my mother makes me. Tuesday: Zone Council n blitz w Auburn  Wednesday: Hermana bff Bek was sick so i got to play rooky and take care of her all day (which meant napping all day SCORE)  Thursday: Temple day!  Friday: Mission Leadership Council all day  Saturday: We helped out at a primary activity and had some fire lessons!  Sunday: Church and planning our week  So as you can see... it was the easiest week of my life! BLESS UP  SCRIPTURE MOMENT!!!!!  Some of the prophets in the scriptures just want their people to believe so bad!! They describe their prayers to the lord on the behalf of their people and how they cry to him.  I mean im not crying about it... but as of late, I feel similar to these prophets crying for their people. I just want everyone to believe so badly. Everytime I open the scri...

HEY!!!  Pretty awesome week I'd say  We put Ramona and José on date for baptism in September!!! They are going to get baptized on their wedding anniversary. Super sweet and wholesome! I got to go to Auburn to see my friend Sister Johnson on exchange!! We went to Red Rebin for our dinner hour and it was a marvelous time. You'll also find in my google photos that we discovered panorama pictures on our exchange. It has been our fun new toy ever since Oh and then it was pretty lame... our whole mission got to go to the Mariners game on Saturday, Jk it was SO fun!!! Wild going to a baseball game as a misaionary. It was awesome to see so many friends and have a night out on the town  That's just a few of the highlights from this week!  I've been LOVING reading my bible lately!!!  Romans 11:34,36 "34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been this counsellor?  36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for...
