"What's another word for answers to prayers?"
"--"
"Rev-e-"
"Revolution!"
*cue laughter*
"Revelation"
Just a little snippet of our lesson with a boy named Dani on Thursday. I went to Wenatchee for exchanges with Hermana Falla(mom, the mountains 😍) and it was a party. Lol, but their area is mostly Spanish work, so we had an entire lesson in Spanish and my participation included: opening prayer (in SPANISH), holding the pictures as Hermana Falla talked, and bearing testimony in English which Hermana Falla translated :) and hugging Norma when we left :) all good things, all good things. I learned so much from those 24 hours, and that was my favorite part :)
We finally saw Tiffany this week. Last week, we had an appointment, that she had reached out to us and made, and she didn't show, because she accidentally fell asleep. That girl works harder than anyone trying to take care of herself and Ronan(who gave me the cutest 2 year old hug when we left). We talked about, what else, the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was really powerful to hear and see how having faith, the process of repentance, and the opportunity to keep the commandments has affected her life as well as her grandmothers. She's been able to see a difference between the times that she has been making a concerted effort to align her life with Gods will and when she hasn't and wants to start doing that again. Just before we left, she told us that she was really glad that was what we talked about that day. She said she'd been having a hard time and feeling sorry for herself, but I had shared how there was a day that I'd been kind of feeling sorry for myself and Sister Wilcox reminded me that Jesus Christ didn't get to do ANYTHING that he may have wanted to do. And we told Tiffany, essentially, he sucked it up, and bit his lip, so that we would have someone to hold our hand and guide us as we did the same. He lived through all that we will experience individually, simply to enable Himself to understand us. To help us. To save us. To buy us back from the grips of sin. That was His greatest desire. How awe-striking is that?
We got to take a road trip up to a tiny town in our area called Wilson Creek(Crik if you're a local) and spent the evening with a family in our ward, the Cooks, they were super fun! A photo of the sunset at their house (built in the 40s) has been included for your viewing pleasure.
Oh! I almost forgot!! I'm being transferred.. to GOLDENDALE!! what what! Super psyched, although I did cry at church yesterday saying goodbye to some people. This is home, and I have to leave, again. sometimes it's frustrating to feel your hearts growth, but its never something I want to stop.
I love y'all!

Pictures also include:
Sister Wilcox's gross feet from walking with a hole in the bottom of her shoe, Peg, who "almost baptized Queen this morning" haha, and Hermana Falla and tangerine popsicles.
