We're the ukeladies!

*takes deep breath*

 Okay so there is a lot to talk about from this week and like 15 minutes to type this out because I am not good at time management and no I haven't learned that on my mission yet, obviously, thank goodness I still have like 7 1/2 months to go so I can learn how to fix that flaw lol. Any way, major events from the week:
Zone Conference was superb! We drove up to Wenatchee for it and it was like an hour drive each way and so we ended up driving 109 miles that day, which is A LOT for us, but its cool it was totally worth it. Sister Jackman talked about earnestly building connections to Heaven(and specifically with each member of the Godhead, which I thought was super cool) we've been able to use that concept over the last couple of days as we've taught and because of the idea that attending church is what builds your connection with the Holy Ghost, WALLS CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY!!!!! I literally teared up and could not stop beaming. When Sister Jensen and I first brought up church, he said "that's not going to happen" and when he met with missionaries before us, he never went to church once in 4 months. but he came!! and he loved it!! and he wants to come again!! 

 also, another cool thing, we had a FB video chat lesson with Devyn and it was so good, we just read the Book of Mormon with him, but it was cool to see him understand it and to hear his thought s on it. We shared Moroni 7:13 with him about all good things coming form God and he was like "woah, that's trippy" lol. BEST PART: the next day, he messaged us on FB all excited saying that he got his sign from God that the Book of Mormon is true and Sister Wilcox and I legit started screaming in the car. he was so excited and at the same time it was great for us to see how it solidified his commitment to work towards baptism. He knows that this is going to change his life.  

 Finally, Peg, cutest lady on this side of the Columbia ;) just warms my heart with all she does and says. She has been so aware of the little changes in her life since reading the Book of Mormon and coming to church. yesterday we talked about Temples at church and she got kinda emotional because she wants to be with Frank for eternity, she picked August 15th for her baptism date because its exactly 6 months after he passed. there was so much love in those 44 years.

 *takes breath*
Alrighty! nothing more to add, that I can think of, but hit me up when I get home and there will be plenty of things I never shared, so much good happens in just one week and I love this life 

 I love you all!

1. This is Brindle, Ana's new puppy. He tried to eat us during our lesson
2. Check out that tan line! I've been cleared to ease off the brace, and now it looks like I'm wearing a white one..
3. this is Mister Pig, whom we met tracting yesterday. He is a pet pig, house trained just like a cat, has his own room, and he LOVES apricots (we fed him some :))
4. we had a FB video chat lesson with Devyn, and it needed documentation, cause it still feels weird to teach that way.

"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 ...
