Another week!

This week has been really good! We had interviews with President, which was super awesome! It is crazy to think that the transfer ends next week!

This month as a zone, we set a goal to have 7 baptisms. This weekend, we had 7! Which put us at 11 for the month. It was super awesome! President told the rest of the mission over conference call, which was super awesome!

This week, we had Randy come to church again! He is progressing a ton and we're super happy with him. It was an awesome Sunday!

Ya'll take care!

Another week down

I'm sure y'all heard about the new changes from the First Presidency. Yes, I am excited. Yes, I think it'll be good. No, I won't call you.

One of the highlights of the week was that Randy came to church! Randy is the husband of a recent convert, and now we are working with him. He was a little hesitant to come to church, but he did and he loved it! He liked how everyone was so friendly and he loved the Sunday School class. He also attended a baptismal service and loved that, too!

We had Stake Conference with Elder Pearson and Elder Pimentel of the Seventy two weeks ago. It was super awesome. Elder Pimentel shared the story of Jesus' birth, as well as the parable of the Good Samaritan, with a focus on the two innkeepers. He challenged us to look at ourselves and ask ourselves if we were a Luke 2 or a Luke 10 innkeeper. Do we introduce ourselves to new people at church? Do we invite them to sit with us? Or do we keep to ourselves? He urged us to be Luke 10 innkeepers. I know as a missionary, it helps a new person at church feel much more comfortable when other members welcome them and introduce themselves.

The Church is true!

White, White, and more White!

I apologize for not writing an email last week. We received a fair amount of snow this week. Last week President Leishman mandated that we all stay in on P-Day, due to the amount of snow and ice on the road. On Friday and Saturday, we got 'record-breaking' snow. So we have done a fair bit of staying in this week, as well as a fair amount of shoveling driveways. Snow isn't a problem here, but the ice that is underneath is, so today was actually the first day since last Wednesday, that we were allowed to drive. There's the first white for the week!

This week we were also able to go to the Seattle Temple. On Wednesday, the weather was clear enough so the Silverdale, Port Angeles, and Bremerton stakes all loaded up on a bus and drove to Seattle. We had about half the mission there. It was super awesome! President and Sister Leishman were there and it was super great! There's the second white for the week.

So the third white this week didn't actually happen. We had an investigator on date to be baptized this last Saturday. However, due to some family emergencies, we had to postpone the baptism. So, ya'll just pray that we can baptize Alexia and that she and her family will be taken care of. 

That's what I got this week!
