"I figure some days I just open my mouth to change feet"-Dennis Meech

That ones for you Pops haha.

It's a pretty accurate statement regarding my life, but light-hearted because, despite the daily foot-in-mouth moments, my heart is light. The biggest and best announcement from this week is.... JOSEPH IS GETTING BAPTIZED!! I know! can you believe it!?!?

2nd announcement.. we're being doubled out.. Sister Glover is going to Moses Lake and I am going to Selah... I was in the Selah stake when I started my mission and now I'll be going back, but in a different ward, so that's gonna be STRANGE. but exciting!! I'm going to miss Goldendale, I just hope the Elders they are bringing in will be what this wonderful place needs.

3rd and final topic.. STEVE. Steve is my most favorite person in Goldendale. He is so prepared to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. He loves the Book of Mormon and reads it all the time(over the phone with us and when he can't sleep even) and his prayers are so sincere. He know the Christ is the only way that he will get to where he needs/wants to be so he can be baptized and he wants it so bad. He's also one of the cutest old men ever lol. I love him. And sad as it is that we have to leave him here, I'm not worried about him, the Lords got him.

That's all folks!
Talk later!

p.s. other fun quote from this week: "I'm kinda busy trimming my medical marijuana" *throws door open* oh the joys of the legal system

"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 ...
