What up?
So I hit my 21 month mark on Friday. How crazy is that? Only three more months in the great state of Oregon! I'm ready to go hard these last 3 months though!
So this week started off with a mission-wide car fast on Tuesday. It was weird not using the car but we saw some cool blessings. We busted out the bikes and went to work. We found a new person named Sherron. She had met with missionaries before and was actually almost baptized but some stuff came up and her main fellowshipper moved so she just kinda fizzed out. She seems super solid though.
Wednesday we had a day full of lessons. One was in Garibaldi with Jackie and DeLinda. They both aren't really progressing that much which sucks but hopefully they will start coming around and start keeping commitments. Another was with a guy named Terry. He loves the church but has like 5 concerns that are keeping him from being baptized and they are all church history/doctrinal issues. We have just been trying to help him gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon because once that happens, all of his concerns won't really matter.
Thursday and Friday were a bit slower. On Friday, we did a service project for a sister in our ward. there was a lady who passed away and she lived out in the middle of nowhere in this super old house. the lady who died said that people could take whatever they wanted form her house and so the member works for a women's shelter and they went over to check it out to see what they could take to the shelter and we were their arms ha ha. It was fun. She works with some non-members so we had some good interactions with them!
Ken and Hester are out of town this week and next so that's sad. They brought their Book of Mormon thous so they should be reading it ha ha! Samara has been super sick this week so not much happened with her. We got a new referral on Sunday! Some members brought her to church on Sunday and we invited her to learn more and she said yes so that will be cool. President and Sister Tateoka made a surprise visit to our Sacrament Meeting so that was cool. They hooked us up big with some goodies. I love them!
Well that was the week. It was awesome to celebrate and remember the Atonement of Jesus Christ this weekend. I am so grateful for the Savior and His perfect example and sacrifice. Without the Atonement, God's plan would not be able to happen. We would not be able to return to His presence. Because of the Savior, we can all be resurrected and we can all be cleansed if we repent! I know that is true!
A cloudy sunset and some COWS!
Have a great week, sorry for the super long email this week!
