The Epistle of Karlee

Hello Hello Hello! We've had a week of laughter, impromptu lessons with some amazing and insightful people, personal revelation(for me). Good studies, someone calling the cops on us cause we were walking in the dark, shouted Bingo for the old folks home, and loads of driving through beautiful scenery. I love the Gorge.  There's no more time, and I'm sorry, but we spent majority of our time talking to a man who called us to ask us questions about the Book of Mormon.. it's chill :) Love y'all!!

She's 5 foot 7. She's 96 K of pure hilarity. She's bold and bears powerful testimony. Introducing... my new companion, Pedal to the Metal, Speed Racer, Sister Walker!!!! (we're having a ton of fun together) I don't really know how to describe/react to the last week. It was kinda nuts trying to get everything in order to both leave an area(and we had a third sister with us cause Sister Goings companion went home and her new companion wasn't here yet). Then arriving in Stevenson/White Salmon was nuts times a million because our entire area involves 23 small towns(we counted) and we just ran out of miles yesterday (lol *crying*). Nah, we good.  On Thursday, after getting lost and turned around twenty times on Wednesday, we made our way, mostly late, to Hawks Ridge, where we played bean bag toss with some elderly women there (LOVE) I'll be sure to get a picture this Thursday. We have been meeting a ton of wonderful people(who knew you could find such gems in

Hello! No time, no patience, BUT, We're getting doubled out!!! They're putting Elders into Selah 1st ward and I'm getting doubled in to Stevenson and White Salmon.  Even closer to home than Goldendale lol. Don't come visit! It'sa going to be NUTS, but its apparently GORGEOUS, so I'm excited!! Stay tuned! -The 2 pictures of the driveway are the results of us trying to shovel in the snow, and then the driveway recovered after just 3 hours.. all that effort..  -necessary snow angel -Bigfoot lives in our apartment complex -the llama and hat were MADE by a member in our ward, impressive I know. She's going to teach me one day :) -and the Godfreys gave us more popcorn LOVE

The week went QUICK, but it also feels like New Years EVE was like 4 months ago, strange huh?  We haven't had a ton of luck this week. We met a girl named Bethany at the park and she was super cool, but I don't think her parents are okay with us teaching her :/ And Amanda and Brad don't want to meet with us anymore, which was really sad to find out. So, we've visited with quite a few members this week in search of opportunities to teach people they know, and to simply help them in their own efforts. The people in our area are wonderful, and so loving, so I'm certain its just a matter of time.  We are still meeting with Christina, and her heart is softening toward the Book of Mormon, it's kind of thrilling to watch and to see the difference in her since I got to Selah. She knows it can bless her, its just a matter of time before she sees how it already has.  WE WENT TO THE TEMPLE WITH ANA ON SATURDAY. The whole thing happened so abruptly, she messaged me on
