"Sisters! Guess who just set a date for November 10!!!" -Sherri Allen

Hello hello!

We've had a difficult time finding this week, but there were moments throughout the entire week where we were reminded that God is aware of us and exactly where we are. In one instance, we'd had little luck with the people we had planned in that day, and as we pulled out of the parking lot, Sister McKnight suggested that we drive by the Spirit and knock a random door. So we did, each time she suggested I turn was a moment when I had felt we needed to turn the same way she'd suggested. When we stopped, we got out of the car to talk to a pair of men walking before going to knock on the door. One of the men was an Israeli man who had just talked with missionaries in Yakima and had taken a Book of Mormon and was planning to read it! He was so cool and so excited to see us. He then proceeded to talk us up to the man he was walking with and they invited us to come walk with them and talk with them this coming week! Totally random and totally inspired. The Israeli man even told us that we had made his day. :)

For Halloween, we are all supposed to be in our apartments at 6, but we got special permission to stay out to go to the ward Trunk-or-Treat and it was so much fun! There were two girls from our ward dressed up as Sister Missionaries, and a girl and boy from 2nd ward who both dressed up as Elders. Amanda and her girls came and Brad(her fiance) brought his son too! It was so awesome to see them and for me to be able to meet so many members. Then, the Iversons brought us a pizza because they knew we had to be in early. (also three days later they brought us donuts for breakfast.. so good)

The next day, we had an appointment with our car.. and I left the apartment key on the ring with the fob, so we got a ride back to our apartment but had to sit outside for approx. 2 hours until a different ride picked us up to take us to do service, which we ended up doing in our skirts cause we couldn't get in to change our clothes. Mom, you'll be happy to know that we can't card our door and we tried to get in through the windows, but that didn't work either. All is well thought, its back and we are good. BUT then on Sunday, our car battery died lol and we had to find someone with jumper cables to be our knight in shining armor. In the process of figuring that out, I saw Brother and Sister Jenkins from Terrace Heights!!! 

Peace out!!

Other potential subject lines from this week: "Let your grammar nazi go nuts over that!" -Sister Walker. Yup, she loves me.  "I love us". Guys, Sister Walker and I are like a comedic duo. It's so much fun. It. Has. Been. A week. We've had quite a bit of snow too, which cause some issues with commuting places.. and seeing how our two areas are full of small towns that are in the hills, its caused a kink in our plans (thumbs up). BUT, all is well because leading up to the catastrophic "snowmageddon" as they are calling it, were a ton of Miracles! Alrighty y'all take a seat, strap in, grab some popcorn. I got lots to share.  So, Monday night, it snowed a bunch, so we did District Council over FB video chat, which was fun lol, there was a lag, so the hymn singing was WAY OFF, but it was good. We had interviews and since we had to do that over FB too, I FB chatted with Sister Jackman, man I love that lady. She's so much like my...

Week 2

Heyo! So this email is prolly gonna be just as harebrained as the last one 'cause I'm still working out the kinks of timing and putting my thoughts in order. So, this is my last Pday in the MTC.. we leave at 230AM next Tuesday, I don't know what that'll mean for emails but there will be another eventually, no worries. Couple things, actually a bunch of things: 1: Sister Cannell drinks chocolate milk WITH ICE. I know weird, but I've decided to be the bigger person and look past it(that's a joke, I love her, it's hard not being able to put a little bit of sarcasm in my emails) 2: Anyone and everyone, please feel free to write/email me, I love hearing about like anything right now haha 3: Role playing is a total blessing, Sister Cannell is pretty shy and it's really helped her come out of her shell a bunch plus it helps to keep me from rambling like I do. 4: Speaking of my rambling, we watched this Elder Holland talk about opening your mou...
