Letter 2-6-17 (1st transfer and scary story)

So, I'm just jumping to the climax of this past week.  As we were knocking doors in our apartments around 8:30ish We knocked and a lady said, come in... and we were like (no way) so we knocked again, and we waited for a second.  Then this loud thump at the door made us both jump.  Then the door swung open so fast and there as an old man holding a huge knife at his side and wife behind. My eyes got so big in shock, ready to run so fast but Sister Passey, my new companion, didn't realize so she, being her happy self said Hi, We're the missionaries!... Then he said, oh no.. Then slammed the door. Then we slowly walked away and started laughing about it. I told her what happened and she's like oh my! haha Well, there's a first to everything right :P

Anyways, so that was fun, but this week I was transferred to Pasco 6th officially with Sister Passey. She's awesome! She even said, it doesn't even feel like she's training me.  She's awesome! She helps keep my spirits high and I do for her as well. :)

One night we taught a family that the husband isn't a member and we taught them about faith and ready 12 verses of chapter 12 of Ether with them and asked them to read the rest as a family, they said they would, which is awesome! The spirit was so strong there, at that lesson, it was awesome! I love it!

The weather is getting warmer, into the 30-40's! :) The sun is shining and the birds are singing! It's great!

So you should ready Alma 36:3, it's pretty awesome! I love it and then Sister Passey had a scripture that goes along with that, it has a secret message that goes with it. (SMILE) it's in 2 Nephi 9:39.

This past Sunday was Stake Conference. Our mission president and his wife were there as well as the people in charge of the Washington temple! So awesome but it was so awesome! I learned of the importance of family history work and temple work and that there is many blessings that God want's to give us and bless us with if we do those things. SO AMAZING!

Also, I love when I hear people pray for the missionaries, because I feel such an overwhelming love and warm feeling over power me, it's truly amazing and beautiful!

I am sick with the cold, but all is doing well, I keep finding more strength to continue on in the Book of Mormon. I feel so blessed this transfer, I can't wait to see what happens and what is in store. :) <3
I love you all very much and can't wait to hear from you soon!
