This week the weather here was really different! It only rained ONCE this entire week! How crazy is that!? It has been super cold here though, and really dry which is very strange for this time of year...! But I really have enjoyed it! The sun has been shining the entire day, and the nights are quite cold, but very dry for tracting in the winter. Because we eat dinner with the members at 4 pm, we don't start tracting until it is completely dark outside, which is really fun! :P I have turned my Pen light into a Harry Potter Magic wand, which is totally awesome! ( I'll send a picture next week! amazing what duct tape can do!) I just say 'LUMOS!' and my 'wand' lights up! so great!
My district leader, Elder Barney, is a broney. If you don't know what that is, google it. Hes really a lot of fun, but he is totally a hard-core broney and we all think it the funniest thing in the world!
Sister Muto drew me my missionary family tree, and she is my Mom, and my 2 grandmas go home this transfer. Elder Barney is my dad, and Elder Gee is my brother who came out the transfer before me.
We had mission tour this week, and Elder Snow, who served as a 70 and is currently the Church Historian spoke to us. It was really good to hear from him - he spoke a lot on involving the members in our missionary work, and how important that is!
Our mission has 48 people that are supposed to be getting baptized this week alone, which is super exciting!
I have also recently learned that my MTC Companion Sister Anderson, decided to go home. She was called to serve in Everett, so Elder Guier told me that Elder Hatch emailed him from Everett and said that she decided to go home.
I know that no matter where people are in their lives, we can always be missionaries. Just by being Christ like and seeking after righteous things, we can be missionaries in our every-day lives, just by the way that we live. I challenge all of you to reach out to everyone that you know around you, just by being an example, don't forget who you are, and what you stand for. The lord will not, and cannot lead you astray. Sometimes missionary work can seem hard, but just by loving everyone, and remembering the gospels Plan of happiness, we can be the greatest missionaries of all. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
