General Conference and Singing to Stoners

Hey Hey Hey!

How goes it?
Ephrata is doing well, couple announcements before we begin:

1. Conference was phenomenal, if you didn't watch it, go do so now. One of my particular favorites was given Lynn G Robbins and I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever lived or breathed, especially to those who have done both.
2. We just got a car! The Elders in Quincy sideswiped their car so its going into the shop to get fixed mid-April. Said shop is in Ephrata, so we get to use the car until it needs to go in! what what! 




Jutta is being baptized and confirmed this weekend! Its way exciting, she's absolutely thrilled. She met the elders the other day and as introduction she said "I'm Jutta, I'm getting baptized April 7th". isn't that the greatest? We watched conference with her, and she loved it! ah, she's amazing!





We saw lots of little miracles this week, one of them being that we found a new investigator at approx 8:45 last night. We went by Jeff cause he told us evenings works and its so hard trying by people that late, he opened the door and was like "i'd let you in, but these guys are smoking pot and they're drunk" very considerate to not want us enveloped in that, but we talked to him for a bit and then one of the self- proclaimed "potheads" asked us to sing him a song. We thought, why not so we sang them the first verse of "Nearer My God To Thee" and said a prayer with them. Michael, the one who asked for a song, made us hold their hands while we prayed ("you have to") and when we closed the prayer, he started his own prayer and thanked God for sending us to him and said that we had blessed his life, etc. It was sweet. Kind of a strange occurrence, but we have an appointment with Jeff, the sober one, next week, so win-win right?

p.s. we had dinner with a member this week and played Zombies and Survivors with their 7 y/o. I was dubbed a zombie and may I say made it fairly realistic. My ankle was not happy with my running and falling, but it was a good time.  

Love you all!

"He's a good dad"

Hi Friends! Wowee, is there a lot to say. Please excuse the spelling errors. We have an hour to do all letter and email writing and we have to email the Branch President too, so yikes.

"I will go, I will do, the things THE LORD COMMANDS!!"

Hi Friends!    So Mission time is so totally warped. The days feel super long and the weeks seem to go by quick-ish, but come Pday I feel like I have no memory of anything that happened that week. And every day ends in a similar way so I have no way of knowing what day it is. Basically my perception of time passing no longer works. It's cool.     We had a Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday and there was this family all dressed up as Harry Potter characters (Carson, you woulda LOVED it) I took a picture but it's kinda blurry. the mom was Professor Trelawny(sp?), the dad was Professor Snape, and then they had Hermione, Harry, Ron, and their little girl was Dobby.     Margaret is doing super well. We still don't know if she's moving out or no, so that's concerning, especially as we get closer o her baptismal date, but she's super diligent and is being a member missionary before she is even a member. She reads the Book of Mormon to her mom and is trying to get he

"Are you eating the Bible I gave you?!?" -Ally to baby sister Emma

Hello one and all!  Jersey came to church yesterday! :) She is a girl we met a couple weeks ago after reaching out to the missionaries who were here last year and they'd mentioned her parents. When we met her, she asked if we could come read the Bible with her because "I need church". Of course, we agreed. She came for choir practice beforehand and stayed the whole time. Her first Sunday, she was there for over 4 hours, and she loved every bit of it :) and they loved her :)  We also got to do some community-lighting this week! If you aren't friends with me on Facebook.. shame on you, but it's okay, I will share. Selah has a couple places around that have apples with the word Selah in them(probably because Washington apples, and because Treetop is located here) so we went in to City Hall Tuesday morning and asked the mayor if she would be okay with us adding something to the one just outside the building, she said yes :) She also asked me to tell the man walkin
