Chapter 26: Have You Eaten?

Hello friends! This week has been pretty crazy, but I don't even remember what happened haha 


We got to do service for a really nice non-member who is a biologist! She was telling us all about different types of plants and animals, especially birds. I learned so much about hummingbirds during the short time we were there, so it was really fun! 


We went to stop by one of the Marshallese families in the ward, and they wanted us to come back every Monday and do Family Home Evening with them. So we visited them yesterday, and they are so sweet! They always ask if we have eaten, and apparently she signed up to feed us every Monday from now on. However they have a few people living with them, and they only speak Marshallese. So they read all the verses in Marshallese and it is almost impossible to understand. I can only pick out Jesus and baptism haha. One of my goals is to learn a few words in Marshallese, so I can follow along with the verses. 


On Saturday, at the Visitors' Center, we had so many tours! But they were all so good!! It was so amazing to see how each person was able to feel the peace and the Spirit that the temple brings. One of them even said he would stop drinking coffee so he could be baptized! I love being able to serve at the Visitors' Center and see all the little and big miracles the temple can bring. 


Spiritual Thought: I was reading in Preach My Gospel this week, and I came across this line that I really loved! It says " For faith to lead to salvation, you must center it in Jesus Christ." I love that so much! It is so important that we have faith in Jesus Christ, and that will eventually lead us to back to Him.


Have a great week! I love you all! 


Love,

Chapter 66: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful day!  We had transfers last week, and my new companion is Sister Hailstone! She is also from Utah, and she is literally so sweet. I have already loved serving with her and experiencing her kind and thoughtful spirit. I am excited to serve with her this transfer, and I know that we will see miracles. And another little fun fact is that this transfer is 7 weeks long, and it is sadly my last transfer which feels so unreal to say. But I am excited to work hard in Glendoveer with Sister Hailstone!  This week, we have been trying to meet with our friends so Sister Hailstone can get introduced to them. And we have had some really amazing lessons with them. We had a wonderful lesson with our friend Mary, and we were able to find out a few of her concerns. Then she came to church on Sunday with her son! It was such a miracle and I am excited to continue to teach her and her son about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  On Thursday...

Chapter 16: Saturday P-Day!

Image
Hey everyone! I was at the Visitors' Center on Tuesday, so I have the rest of my P day today! Since it has been so long, I don't really remember what has happened, but I will share some highlights.  We have a new person that we are teaching! His name is Cooper and he is so cool! Sister Davis found him on exchanges so the first time I met him was at a scripture study group. He is interested in learning more, and we gave him a Book of Mormon!  Also, we stopped by our friend Brian's and we brought one of our members with us and they really hit it off! Hopefully, he will come to church now that he knows somebody. We are keeping our fingers crossed!  Another cool experience, we had a lesson with a super sweet older lady who is the mom of a member. She isn't interested in joining the church, but it was nice to talk with her and learn more about her beliefs. She said we could come back and visit again, so that is awesome!  Spiritual Thought: I am so excited we get to study ...

Chapter 61: Beaverton --> Gresham

Image
Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a great week! We had transfers this past week, so I had to say goodbye to all of our friends and ward members in Beaverton and Summerlake. It was bittersweet, but I am so grateful for all the relationships I have made serving in these two wonderful wards.  I am now serving in Gresham in the Glendoveer ward!! I am companions with Sister Webb! She is super awesome and I am really excited to serve with her. Gresham is on the opposite side of the mission from my last area, so it is really different. But I know that this is where the Lord needs me to be and I am looking forward to all the people I will meet and serve!  I have already been able to meet quite a few of our friends and have lessons with them. Our friend Mary is so sweet, and we were able to have a really good lesson with her about the sacrament and baptism. She has the desire to be baptized, so we are hoping to help her make her first covenant with God soon! We had two lessons wi...
