I've been transfered!




I am now serving in Lake Forest Park (shoreline area) and Puget Sound Deaf Branch! Yep,I'll be learning sign language! cool,huh? I'm excited. Each morning we will have one hour a day to learn sign language. I am really excited to serve here. Oh I am going to miss good old Duvall a lot, but I was really ready to go. I was sad but at the same time ready to start fresh in a new area We had an awesome week last week with Sister Felt and I. We had two new investigators,two investigators come to church and we had a less active come back to church.One of the ladies,Katherine, said in response to our talking about prophets," that just makes sense. That's logical. Why shouldn't God have a prophet today like he had before? Doesn't He love us too?" Way awesome! She wants to learn more. It was a miracle!! She has been prepared to hear about the restored gospel. Last week we reached all of our goals! We worked really hard. One day we didn't have lunch or dinner because we had to many appointments. The Lord has really blessed us. Miracles Happen! The miracles, blessings, and the witness comes after all we can do, after the trial of our faith. I look back at all my experiences with my past companions and realized that we were diligent, faithful, obedient, preparing the area for the people that are prepared now to hear of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are the messengers.

We had zone conference and our mission president talked to us about witnessess that have been given to us testifying that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's restored church here on the earth in these last days. It was really neat. He told us that it is not our job to prove, but we are to use the witnesses that have been given to us (missionaries) to help people to come to know the truth for themselves. We are the messengers, it's our job to deliver.

Temple trip Seattle,Washington Temple

Today we went to the Seattle Temple this early morning. It was so nice to be able to feel peace and comfort from being in the temple. It is also a place to remember covenants I've made and to remember the LOVE that our Savior Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father has for us.




I love the promises the Lord gives to us.


In 3Nephi 14:7-8 it reads, " Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh,receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened." This familiar scripture pierced my heart once again. He promises countless of times if we ask, he will answer! I know this to be true! He hears us and answers our prayers!He'll make things manifest to us by the power of the Holy Ghost. I am a witness of that! He has given us a way to receive answers, we must act and we must have faith. I promise he will answer!

That's me with my companion, Sister Felt on a SOLID foundation.

I took the liberty to take a picture of Sisters Kimball and Felt and create a comic strip effect but left the word bubbles blank for the reader to fill in.

February 16th

The Lord knows us, He keeps His promises. I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE! He answers our prayers. He did for a young boy 14 years of age,Joseph Smith and He has answered mine.
There is no greater joy and happiness that can come to you when founded upon the rock of our Savior Jesus Christ and His restored Gospel and by living the commandments.
