1 Nephi 11:17. read it. fav scripture of the week.

Hi Friends!

So, I have news... I'm leaving Terrace Heights :( Gotta say goodbye to Sister Fleming and the place that is, to be honest, more home than Salem. Well, I know how to get around better here haha. BUT I'm going to a place called Ephrata. I know nothing about it except that there's a Walmart and "if you sneeze, you'll miss it" according to Angela. I'll be with Sister Jensen, and have no info about her either, so stay tuned for next week :)

We saw miracle after miracle this week, thank goodness, 'cause I hadn't felt like much was coming from #FeedtheFifty, especially after hearing others' stories. My favorite was something that happened Tuesday. I loved it because it took time to culminate into a miracle, and it showed how the Lord really is directing each and every instance, more easily if we choose to heed the promptings of the Spirit. So, that morning we went, like usual, to the church for exercise. A man showed up to do some sort of maintenance, so we left and decided that we still wanted to run, so we'd just run outside(in the freezing cold). We ran up through the neighborhood next to the church and just randomly(so we thought) zigzagged down the streets. Later we both mentioned to each other that while we'd been running we'd thought that we should tract up there, so we did! and our LAST house was a man who had previously read the Book of Mormon(at least some of it) and told us there was nothing in it that he didn't agree with. We were floored, and soaring at the same time. And all because some man came to work on the church early in the morning. Thank goodness for him.

We got to go to a baptism in Goldendale on Saturday! It was incredible. If we'd stayed on the freeway a little longer, I probably could've gotten us to the my parents house haha.

Adam, my nephew, sent me his Flat Stanley this week to take around, he is an honorary missionary and everyone has loved him. :)

So much else happened, but I have 12 tons of other things to do before I'm transferred... farewell!

Much Love

"we don't want to break into our car..."

Hi Friends! So, I'll start with the funny story. on Thursday we had to go back the apartment to grab a Book of Mormon Lelani had given us to write our testimonies in and as we were leaving, I locked the handle, like we always do and closed the door. Sister Jensen looked at me and asked if I had a key to the apartment, which I had the spare in my bag. Turns out she meant the car key, which was attached to the apartment key, which had been left inside. and my copy of the apartment key, along with our phone, etc were all locked in the car. We tried to card the door, but unluckily, our apartment isn't very easy to break into haha. So we prayed(which is where the quote comes from, Sister Jensen couldn't keep it together after that) WE called the sisters we live with on our neighbors phone after calling the mission office to get the number, left a voicemail, and walked to our appointment. I'd left my coat in the car too, so it got cold pretty quick, but after seeing Jean...

"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 t...

"the road's that way"

Hi Friends! It has been one heck of a week. Goodbyes, packing, transfers, new area(and companion and roommates and routine),service, walking, and missionary work interspersed with all of that, we'll see what I can put into coherent thought. My new companion is Sister Jensen. She's been out just over 6 months (and I hit 5 tomorrow!) and has been in Ephrata fro 6 weeks or so. We're both still pretty new, but we've got a good feeling about this transfer and we're gonna learn a lot and work hard. I'm excited. We live with another set of Sisters which has been a little more of an adjustment, to go from spending 4 1/2 months living with one person to living with 3 who already have a groove that now I have to fit into. But they are all wonderful people and we've had some fun in these last 4 1/2 days. I'm going to learn a lot here and its exciting to see how Heavenly Fathers hand was involved in all of this. I know I'm supposed to be here in Ephrata and ...
