Saying Goodbye

The Pasco Zone!

Letter 4-24-17

My companion is my "Sister" our trainers were the same. :P I'm in Burbank, near pasco Washington. I still haven't left the same zone, stake and district from the very first one I got here. The only difference is moving wards.  I have gotten doubled out every time I moved wards. :P It's hard work but good. :) There is one pretty cool and powerful experience that Sister Coffey and I had, we basically were getting bashed, then my testimony was shaking a little about the apostasy and the priesthood and the prophets and apostles, and my companion asked me to say a pray in the car, so I did.  First, I think that was one of the most sincere prayers I've ever had with Him. Anyways after that my companion recited the First Vision <3 Then I just started to cry, because I knew it was true.  She then told me to look at it this way, your testimony has just become stronger about the prophets, and the priesthood. :) And I totally agree with her on that.:) It helps to see things through another person's eyes, especially your companion. :) So yeah, good times. :)

Another cool experience, is that when I was serving in Pasco 6th Ward we went over to a member's house, the Thompsons. They have a care taker whose name is Peggy. :) Well when I found out where I was moving to, Burbank, I realized that that's where she lived! So we let her know as it was our last day there and she told me that she was planning on going to Sacrament meeting on that Sunday anyway, but how now we both knew a similar face at church.:) And she did come yesterday! So did one of our investigators, Mitchell who is getting baptized this Saturday. :) We will only get to teach or see Peggy for only a few more weeks, because then she is moving somewhere else in Pasco, but it was an answer to her prayers because she is starting to grow her faith in Christ, read the BOM daily and is repenting, (changing her ways to become closer to Christ). So yeah, those are my two cool stories from this past week. :) I can't wait to be able to tell you more! :)

My new companions name is Sister Coffey. :) It's funny last week when we transferred and we had a transfer breakfast I realized that the smallest Sister in the zone was put together with the tallest Sister. :P It's hilarious! haha Burbank, is oh so beautiful! So much green everywhere and the birds singing, sun shining, horses, alpacas, goats, everywhere. <3 It's been fun!

Yeah, I'm no longer in a walking area, yeah car! But now, I have to get used to and understand how having a car missionary works. :P And Marsha, didn't get baptized this last Saturday, but she will get baptized on May 20th So please keep her in your prayers. :) She's truly amazing! I love her! :) <3

I love you all very much! Keep being awesome!

Saying goodbye to two of our favorite sisters. We will miss them. You should be proud of your daughters! They are amazing.

I wish we could have kept her in our ward longer. 6 weeks wasn't long enough. She is so sweet, and humble and has a wonderful testimony. We sure do love her.

Just had Easter dinner with these cute girls!!

4-9-17

Took this for verification before I knew it was her.

Didn't feel right taking a picture in the chapel but I gave her two hugs, a note, told her you loved her etc. And lots of junk food. She said she loves chocolate. And is looking forward to the hot summer, has 2 baptisms scheduled, looks awesome, says has learned that even though she's not focused on herself she is growing so much.

Letter 4-17-17

So today we got transfer calls.  When I first heard that we were getting doubled out, I walked out of the room and cried. :/ Pasco 6th ward is amazing and i'm truly going to miss it.  Both times that I've been transferred, I've been doubled out and staying in the same zone. :) Maybe the Lord is thinking, well she did a great job by herself doing all the double out duties, that she can do it again. :P Then I pulled myself together and realized that "hey, i'm still staying in the same zone and district, which is  good. :) My awesome district leader has stayed the same too! :) So I get to keep in touch with all my wards! Pasco 3rd (1st area), Pasco 6th (2nd area), and now, soon to be Snake River (3rd area).

Anyways, Marsha is going to get baptized on Saturday!!! We are so excited for her! Making that decision to come closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. <3 It's going to be a beautiful day for her! :) <3

Sister Passey is doing better :) Not fully over it, it's going to take lots of time, but getting better. :)

I love you all and I appreciate who you are and the role you all played in my life, I hope you never forget who you are. :) You are a child of God.  He loves you and cares for you and blesses you. :)

Love you all, Always and Forever!

P.S. that picture I'm holding in the picture is with Sister Passey's Fish eye filter. :P The best ever!! I love it! haha If you know me, which you all do, these types of pictures and filters are my favorite, they always make me and others laugh and smile which I love to do....So I hope this picture makes you smile and brightens your day a little. :) <3

Letter 4-10-17

So this week has been very restful. :) With my companion being sick we had to stay in and rest. :) Which is never a bad thing but since this has lasted for about 1 1/2 months we finally (kindly of course) put our foot down and went to the doctors for the last time, not leaving until we got some type of answer...... and guess what?!?! WE GOT AN ANSWER! With much relief knowing that she wasn't SO bad, but my companion has tested positive for M.....O.....N.....O..... I'm so very lucky and blessed that I have not caught it! :) I guess that's a blessing for cleaning everything and making sure that what I use is clean and that we don't share any drinks, (and no kissing of course :P )  But then the day after we found that I got a stiff neck, and I'm still working that out with my 'dead man's foot' (rice sock) that Sister Miller, an awesome member from Pasco 6th ward, who I love dearly gave to me. :) She's the best!

In other news, Janelle is still coming to church and she and her boyfriend are finally starting to talk about a wedding sometime in the far future (1 year). We are going to see if we can try and nudge it closer, but yes, it's still improvements! :)  Then Marsha's baptismal date is going to have to be pushed back to April 22nd because she couldn't get anyone to switch off with her for Sunday. :/ But she's going to make it on Easter. :) She watched the Priesthood session of General Conference and it answered some of the questions that she had, so a blessings there for her faithfulness to watch it. <3

Anyways, I love you all.  Please continue to write, it means the most to me! :) <3

Love you Always and Forever!
