We are talking to everyone.

We are talking to everyone, literally. There have been so many miracles because of it. We have met so many truth seekers. On Friday we met so many people . It was crazy! It was a beautiful day and so many people were happy. Shoot! I was HAPPY! These past few weeks I have been extremely happy, more than usual. Just being a random goof ball, smiling and laughing. So we met this one kid, so neat, as we spoke to him he felt the Spirit testify to him that what we were saying was true. He is craving for direction in his life and happiness. He turned to the worldly things for answers, however, he found so much hope and faith as we were talking to him. I shared with him a scripture found in the Book of Mormon in Moroni 7:41 ( it has become one of my favorite scriptures lately) It talks about what we should hope in which is the Atonement of Jesus Christ and his resurrection, all this according to our faith in this promise. It is a PROMISE!
Sunday was a great day! We had Charles come to church and a lady and her son and another lady came because they found our church on line and they want to learn more and keep coming. Another man came to church because we left our card with the church address on it at his door step! Like I said sooooooooooooo many MIRACLES!

JESSICA still hasn't set a date for baptism, but the lesson with her was excellent! We taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ, faith, repentance, baptism, recieving the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. It was really neat to see her recognize the power of the Holy Ghost in her life. We will be putting her on date to be baptized this wednesday for sometime in July. Hopefully I will still be here. Transfers are next week. Wow time flies!!
BEN still has no date for his baptism. ( waiting on others he wants to attend) Ben is so prepared and is such a faithful young man.

Miracles all week,continued

We had another lesson with Charles He is a Christian Jew...something like that. I don't really understand. But he believes more in Jesus Christ as a Savior than a prophet. We watched " FINDING FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST " and afterwards Sister Eaton and I bore our testimonies of Jesus Christ and the Spirit just filled the room and there was just silence and you could see his countenance get brighter.
Often in lessons with him the Spirit is strong but he has a hard time recognizing it. He is a very logical thinker and tends to disregard what he is feeling. So we are striving to help him recognize and understand the importance of recognizing the Spirit.

So many miracles !

We had a lesson with RAMESH, a man from Nepal,who came to church with us last Sunday.The lesson went really well. He is craving for truth and understanding. He doesn't have the basic understanding of Christianity. He wants to know more about Jesus Christ and he has so many questions. It's fun teaching him.We also got to teach him how to pray. I think that is one of my favorite things to teach. It is really neat to see people who are humble and who are seeking for truth learn how to communicate with God. Then to hear them pray out loud for the very first time is so humbling and the Spirit is so strong. Their prayers are so sweet, short and to the point. I love those prayers ! They are like a little child's prayer. No wonder God asks us to become as little children.

Happy Father's Day !

There is no better word to describe our week but MIRACLES! (as I thought about Father's Day last Sunday) I was thinking about my father and my Heavenly Father. How grateful I am for my earthly father and my Heavenly Father. I know that I wouldn't be here today serving a full time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints if it wasn't for them. THANK YOU DAD FOR GIVING ME THE GREATEST GIFT I COULD EVER ASK FOR.

She's loves (cats) She loves being a missionary

I love this work so much! I can't express it in words alone. I am just so grateful for this opportunity! I love the Lord, I love the people, I love this true and everlasting Gospel. I am just a weak young girl with a simple but true testimony. I know that all the blessings that have come or will come and any impact I have had or will have is due to Jesus Christ. He is my strength, my light, and my endurance. The reason that keeps me going even when I am dead tired and I want to fall back asleep. I am just so happy!

Divine Call

We all were foreordained to come down here, to take the call to be a missionary in the pre-earth life. I reflected upon this along with my patriarchal blessing. I am so grateful that a mission was part of my plan to serve, to be a part of His army in defending and preaching His gospel in the last days. As the meeting continued, I felt this overwhelming assurance that God called me to be in the Washington Everett Mission for specific people and that I was not called to this mission by random chance. I knew that when I opened my call, but now after being out for as long as I have , I have gained a stronger testimony of the divine call of a missionary."

Ben is GOLDEN !

"BEN (16 yrs. old) continues to attend seminary. He has only missed one day in the last 2 weeks and he has come to church for the last 2 Sundays. We talked to him again about teaching him and he is way excited and he loves what he is learning. He already knows the things he has read from the Book of Mormon are true. He's not a big reader but he has been listening to scriptures on his ipod. So cool! He said coming here that he has been learning so much and he said,' I feel like I am growing. This is helping me personally...before in the other church I was in I wasn't learning.' The seminary teacher told us that he is sometimes more involved in seminary than the other member students. His family supports him completely...we have a lesson set up with him this week. We plan to invite him to be baptized on June 4th. We are very excited for him. He's on FIRE! He is so in tune with the spirit and so prepared to hear the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. Such a great young man! HE IS GOLDEN! "

SHE SCORES!!!!!!

The LORD PROMISES

Let us not be afraid of changing for the best. Let us refine ourselves to become men and women of God. Lets change those small or bigger things in our lives that is preventing us from fully being nearer to God. I know that has been my focus, especially these past few days. I have been removing the things in my life that are preventing me from having His Spirit with me as much. I PROMISE... more importantly THE LORD PROMISES that as we make those changes, greater happiness and a greater direction in our lives will be ours. I know that to be TRUE because I have experienced both sides. This is my personal witness that it is TRUE because I have lived it and continue to live and feel it.
