Pictures 3-27-17
Letter 3-27-17
So this week has been crazy! So last email, I said that we got to do a church tour with Marsha and how she had a good thought about getting baptized but didn't know what day. But then we visited her again, this last Tuesday and we brought up her baptism and then I said " so we have three dates that you can get baptized: April 8th, 15th, 22nd, which one is your baptismal date?" and she said " well I have to change some things, so April 15th sounds good. " :) We were internally screaming with joy! :P We were so proud of her because we had asked 2 times before and she said no and she said yes this time! :) So I really appreciate all of your prayers, they can and do make a difference! :) You are all amazing and the best ever!
Also this last Saturday, was the General Women's Broadcast! And guess who came???........ Janelle!!!!!! She came to the ice cream social before and then to the Conference/ broadcast! It was amazing! It was just what I needed to hear and she loved it! And the members of the Pasco 6th ward are amazing fellow shippers! They are the best! So one thing that I would invite all of you to do is go up to someone either you don't know well or don't know at all in church and introduce yourself and become their friend, it will make their day. :)
But other than that, this week has been a roller coaster because my companion, Sister Passey has not been feeling well and the doctors 'think' it might be her ears and she might have some type of vertigo, but they and we are not 100% sure.... so yeah.
Anyways, one thing I learned from Sister Hanks, one of my Sister Training Leaders as we talked and I reflected, is that I do have faith. I have a lot more faith than I think. Because "Faith is Trust- trust that God sees what we cannot and that He knows what we do not." ~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf I had faith that God will protect my family while i left for my mission. I have faith that when I open my mouth, he will fill it. :)
You all have enough faith. :) You just need to step back and look and "Cast not away therefore your confidence" ~ Hebrews 10:35. :) <3 It took 19 years for me to recognize that I have faith, so much more faith than I realize. And that, was a tender mercy or gift that Heavenly Father gave me this week. :)
What were some Tender mercies that you have noticed this week? Please share! :)
Also I wanted to say thank you to my family for the Easter Package I got. :) We loved it! :) Thank you both Grandma McKnight and Grandma Lofgreen for your letters. :) They make me happy.
I hope all is well for you. You are in my prayers. :) <3

Letter 3-20-17
This week was AMAZING!!!! On Friday we got to do another church tour with our other investigator, Marsha! :) She even came in a skirt! She decided to do that on her own, because we want this to be an amazing experience, we just say wear what you are comfortable in but that is presentable, you know. :P Anyways, she came even though she wasn't feeling the best, because we couldn't reschedule so she came. A member came with us, Sister Adams, the tour went great! We sang her 'Joseph's first prayer' for her at the end, because she wanted to see it and I caught her wiping away a tear. :) It was beautiful! Then we asked if she'd been praying about a specific date to be baptized and she said she hasn't but she feels good about it,(being baptized) so I'm SOOO excited to commit her to a baptismal date. :)
So yesterday, Sunday was amazing! On reason it was awesome, was because Janelle, one of our
investigators came to church, again, now two weeks in a row!! :) She's amazing!
The lessons on Sunday were amazing! They were all about the family and teaching the Saviors way. :) <3 And I just wanted to take some time to thank my amazing Mother and Father! :) <3 Thank you for teaching the Saviors way: calmly, listening, talking, helping, loving those you teach (:P of course you would love your kids :)) . It truly did make a difference. Continue to teach repentance, and how it is not a bad thing, its' a beautiful, wonderful gift. So don't give up on us Mom and Dad. :) I haven't and will never give up on you to become even more Christlike. :) Thanks for being there for/with me and teaching me the things that I am now teaching others. Thanks for listening to me and understanding me, and hearing and connecting with me as I am growing older. :)
Also one thing that I learned yesterday is the one way that can really help strengthen the family, is strengthen your marriage. And that it's very important to do that because Satan is working very hard to attack and tear apart the family as much as he can.
Everyone, please take time to pray and thank your Heavenly Father for the families which you have. Step back and really look at how they have helped you in your life and helped you become who you are today. :) Also take time to go and thank them personally, it will be amazing and it will help your family grow together, even closer.
I love you all and I thank you for everything that you do for me, You're all the best! I love and appreciate all of you and the difference you have made in my life! <3 Never forget that you all helped me to be where I am and who I am today. <3

She's precious. Funny, strong, sweet and everything I would want in a daughter. We enjoy the elders but I gotta say we love the sisters. If you ever need anything from her or for her please let me know.
~Julie Dawes
PS- the video was funnier in slow motion. But I guess it doesn't send that way. She gives sister Passey the funniest look but you can't see it.
Okay, I just re-watched it and maybe it was funnier being here, but we all had a good time.

Letter 3-13-17
Well....haha.... This week has been quite some week. :P It's been really busy without it being busy if that makes any sense. :)
Tuesday we had such an amazing zone council! We learned how to become better missionaries at a whole other level. Lots of missionaries that have been out way longer than I have said that this training changes everything! In a nut shell, we learned how to make each lesson we teach meaningful and personal to each one of our investigators. We learned how we should pray and teach the first lesson better that way the people we teach will be more willing to except Christ in their life and to demonstrate their faith by following the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized by someone holding the priesthood power of God. :) It was amazing! We learned how to better be their guides in the conversion process and by having three main things that can help "keep the line tight" :) which is
C.P.R.
Church attendance
Pray daily
Read your scriptures
Those three things can do miracles and I've seen it work in our investigators lives. :)
Please continue to pray for Marsha and Janelle, we so dearly want them to be baptized by the end of this upcoming five week transfer. :) <3
Then to the crazy part, so you all know that we got bit by something and my companion wasn't doing well, we went to the doctors because it wasn't getting any better and it started to get worse. We went to the doctors and they still couldn't find out what was wrong with her so she did tests and found out that she had a UTI and she got medication for it. Then we went to a skin doctor for her bites (36 of them) and they gave her cream to help with that, which it is working, with the swelling and redness, but no one could tell us what had been biting us, not even a pest control man. :/
But one of our investigators gave us some Biotamacheus earth (however you spell that) and put it between our two mattresses which helped. I recommend anyone that has a bug problem, get this, it will work miracles! Anyways, so we didn't stop getting bites completely, but then one of our members called and told us everything that we were experiencing matched up to be what was called an assassin bug or a kissing bug. :/ Now we are not entirely sure, but yeah. Because we found what we thought was a squash bug, but which could really be an assassin bug.... so as we were deep cleaning again, I found a dead one so we are going to keep it and ask around and see if they know what it could be. But we put that earth stuff ALL OVER our apartment and see how that can help from the meantime till they bomb the place. :P But yeah, so fun! haha
So yeah then today, we got our transfer calls and Sister Passey and I are staying together for another transfer! (5 weeks this time) She's been in the area for 5 transfers now. :) It's going to be awesome, she's my step mom and she's going to greenie bust me and we are going to see more miracles. :)
Sorry for that long story, but that's all that really happened this past week. I love you all, please continue to write and email me and send pictures I love all of them so much!
Through Christ you can do hard things! <3

Sorry, I forgot one important part! :P So one of our investigators, Janelle came to church yesterday!!!!!!! AHHH!!!!!! We were so excited! Then to make Sunday even better, Sister Passey and I sang "Joseph Smith's First prayer" hymn 26 in sacrament meeting. :) <3 I think we sounded really awesome! We got to sing harmony together! It was perfect for Janelle and what she needed to hear. :) <3 It was so awesome! AHHH!!!! <3
