"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!!

p.s. JOSEPH IS GETTING BAPTIZED THIS SATURDAY in case you didn't get the subject line lol

"Love God with all your heart.."

Hi Friends! It has been a week. dang.  We got to do a whole lot of service this week which was really fun. It's kinda wonderful to get to think all about someone else even for just an hour. I do a heck of a lot of thinking in a day, so I need a break sometimes and service is the way to do it. The great thing is, if you're doing it right, more than just the service projects feel like service, practically all we do as missionaries is serve, so I get to think about others all the time! yay! One of the things we got to do was go brush horses at Hart Ranch. Sue Hart, the owner, is super sweet and she gave us those gloves as a Christmas gift and we're going back this week to help her put up all her Christmas stuff cause she's getting kinda old, plus we love to do that.  I'm coming up on 3 months and since Sister Zollinger is very likely going to be leaving Terrace Heights at the end of this transfer, I've been thinking a lot about what I've learne...

"Hi Girls!!"

HI Friends! So, no I'm not calling you all girls, ANA WAS BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY! and Sister Zollinger and I spent like 20 minutes trying to imitate how she says "girls" cause she's from the Dominican Republic and it sounds great.

Her baptism was absolutely wonderful. the Spirit was so strong and we were all crying, and grinning and ahhh it was so powerful.  Some weird things have happened this week. Tuesday at 12:30AM I woke up and started planning for the day, I woke Sister Zollinger and was so urgent about getting it done until she was like "WE'LL PLAN AT 6:30 WHEN WE USUALLY PLAN". yup.
