Hello

Hello all!

 What a week. It hasn’t been the most exciting week thus far but nonetheless it was good! We’ve had a lot of opportunities to share the gospel in a lot of different ways which is always cool! Conference was amazing! it is such a good missionary tool to use and we had some of our investigators come and watch or watch from home and we are hoping he words of these inspired men will have touched them and made them understand the importance of this gospel! 

I sadly don’t have and crazy stories as I have had in the past, but I would like to favor you all with a story about Betsy. Now Betsy isn’t that old maybe 2 years old and yet she has a fire and a personality like none other. She enjoys rolling over the entire city of Kent and Renton as well. This wonderful little girl has had some health problems in her past but none like she has had this week. Betsy is our 2014 Chevy Cruz. She is a dark blue that has been accented with a few white marks from former servants of God. This week Betsy decided to start making some weird noises that lead Sister Taylor and I to believe she was coming down with something fierce, and fierce it is. Her poor innards are becoming outards and her poor oil line is helping the matter become worse by constantly leaking on all other parts of the engine, her life line. She is being killed from the inside out. Luckily we caught the problem, and good ol' Pep Boys put duct tape on it until we could take her into the dealership. Sadly we are on a waiting list and October 6th doesn’t seem to come fast enough! But even through this hardship Betsy is still a faithful companion and drives us around, at a slower much grumpier pace, but nonetheless we arrive to our destinations. let us all hope and pray that she can make it to her 3rd year of life and can be healed when the wonderful day comes that we can take her in!:)

But moving on to more important things, we have this investigator named Van. I don’t know if I have mentioned her before but if I have bear with me! She is from Vietnam and is here to get her bachelors in communication, mind you she already has another degree in linguistics and she is only 23. She is super cool and excited to learn but it’s been difficult because Van knows nothing of God. This is a whole new concept for her and she wants to believe but she is also concerned with abandoning her culture to join this gospel. it’s hard for her to understand that she can have both as long as she only worships one god, our eternal father. We are constantly working with her and hoping she can strengthen her faith. We have a goal to commit her to baptism this coming week so we hope she will accept it! 

Conference was amazing as usual! So much was said about missionary work and becoming member missionaries! IT IS SO TRUE! I do not think we could have any investigators of active converts if we do not work with the members of the ward! I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again! Help the missionaries! Serve with them and find people that they could teach! As Dallin H Oaks said, "enlarge your circle of friends!" Doing this will make it easier to share the gospel! i promise that you will feel so amazing when you share this amazing truth! This is a work of love and you can help people know of God’s love! How amazing is that!!?? I would encourage everyone to go back and listen to conference! Find a talk that speaks to you and study it and learn from it! It will bless your life and help you become truly converted to this gospel!

I love you all. I cannot express the gratitude I feel towards you! Thank you for always writing me and sharing pictures and stories about your life at home! It makes my day to know you are doing well and even if you’re not at that moment, I want to be there in spirit to pray for you and talk about how the gospel can help! Stay amazing and have an amazing week!

Love,

Sister Reynolds
