Here it is! The MUDDY MAYHEM MANIA!

UPLIFTING CONFERENCE

Sister Lauren Kimball meets up with Elder Jamie Hughs. They are both from the same ward back home in Temecula. Boyd K. Packer spoke to the missionaries. Wow!!!


WANTED: TRUTH SEEKERS

Even though miracles are small they still happen.There will be a baptism. There is a family here that are "truth seekers", seeking for the restored gospel and we are going yo FIND them! We are excited!! I love it here. You actually have to work really,really hard that you just crash and fall down as explained in 2Nephi 8:30. I mean missionary work is hard and I don't know if there is a harder area(there probably is) but MY GOODNESS! I'm up for what the Lord has called me to do! We can do this because the Lord will provide a way if we keep the commandments( 1Nephi 3:7) This is his work and He will not allow it to fail. We're apart of it! Thanks for all your prayers.

Duvall I have grown to love alot!


Who makes chocolate shoes?
Sister Chhoeun that's who ! Looks like a real treat
I guess we'll have to eat!

The work is moving forward in a miraculous way because the Lord is on our side. He is a part of this work because it is His work and His glory! In our zone meeting we say, "HAVE MIRACLES CEASED?" ( we all answer),
" Nay!" So true!

October 26th It has been one major ROLLER COASTER ...

NOW SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN JUST ONE WEEK! Nothing new to a missionary that's for sure. The 1st couple of days with Sister Denison were awesome, miracle days. We were able to visit a part member family in our ward whom we have tried to visit in the past with Sis. Chhoeun. This time we were able to share a scripture with the nonmember wife. After I shared Ether 12:4 (Book of Mormon) , she really opened and shared some difficult things that her extended family were going through. So the scripture that I was prompted to share helped her. She said,"That scripture is just what I needed to hear." I had no idea what to share, but as we were talking, the Spirit kept prompting me to share that scripture. So I did and she opened up and guess what? We have a return appointment with her. Yeah! Before she never would set up an appointment with us. Its because of our faith. Sister Dennison is great! She is a hard worker,a quick learner and smart. She has a strong testimony and is kind and humble. This week has been harder for her. I am grateful to Sister Dennison for being a hard worker. We have fun even though we are dead tired! I've never been so tired. I think the last time that I was this tired was when I first came out in June. Wow time flies! Seriously,I know I keep saying that but it does! I DON'T LIKE IT ONE BIT!!! It's almost November.

Life is beautiful!







OCTOBER 2010 Lunch with the girls...


All the sister missionaries in the Everett Washington Mission were invited to lunch with the Mission President and his wife.

JUST AROUND THE CORNER...

So the mission gives no instructions whatsoever on how to be a trainer except for general things to do. Today was awesome though we got some return appointments with people and met someone on the street and had a lesson with 2 inactive families. WAY COOL!!! Sister Denison did a great job teaching. She is a quick learner.
Things are really starting to pick up here in Duvall. Lots of miracles each day and we have more people we are teaching. YEAH!! Just trying to find those TRUTH SEEKERS.

I love the gospel and I'm so
grateful
to have
the truth
and share it with
God's
children.

I'm a happy camper! I'm grateful for trials.There were a lot of them last transfer and there will be a lot more ahead but I know it has and will build my faith and strengthen my relationship with Christ.I know that I can get through anything, any trial, any obstacle when I trust in the Lord and I 'm obedient. I have confidence {D&C 121:45} that God will deliver me, strengthen me, help me, comfort me,and abide in me.There's going to be a baptism here in Duvall. I know there is. I can just feel it. Just around the corner the Lord is preparing his children.I'm his instrument to teach with the spirit and to help them come unto Christ. What a task. What a privilege and a joy! I'm just so excited! I just don't know when it will be but the Lord has someone in store.

Time is flying by. I can't believe it. I would love it if it would slow down a bit.But I'm trying to do my best and make the best of it.
