4th of July



Later that day Sister Eaton and I went to the bishop's house for dinner. They shot off a few fireworks but nothing too big cuz it was still light out and we (missionaries) had to be in by 6:00 p.m. Around 9:45 p.m we went to our roof and watched fireworks until bedtime! Don't worry, the roof has tables and chairs and such. It was an awesome view, especially since we live in Seattle and everyone was shooting them off right by us! It was cool! I wish pictures could capture it... Well I hope you all had a great fourth of July!! I sure did !! I am so grateful that our nation has the freedom to choose religion. I have been reflecting over and over again this past week about Joseph Smith and just how prepared our nation was for the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through a prophet, Joseph Smith. I know that Joseph Smith was a Prophet and that he was prepared and called of God to restore Christ's Church to the earth once again. I know that we all can gain a witness of this for ourselves through prayer, pondering and reading of The Book of Mormon. I KNOW IT IS TRUE!!!
I came to find out that mostly all fireworks are illegal in Washington, however, there is a huge Indian reservation which the police have no control especially in Marysville and that's where I was last year.
