Hello,

This
week has been a whole lot better, excuse my improper English. Still had its
challenges as every day does but I have seen a lot of little miracles and have
recognized Gods hand in my life.
On Monday we had
a zone party for Halloween! It was weird to have all of us missionaries in our
regular clothes hanging out and playing games, somehow I felt lazy.... but
nevertheless we all had a blast! I’ll try to send a picture of all of us! We
got to carve pumpkins that night so Sister Taylor and I went to the farmers
market called Carpenitos and bought a pumpkin that was about the size of one of
those beach balls, MASSIVE!, but way worth it! Our Zone has some amazing
missionaries, most of which are from Utah. I think almost every missionary here
is from Utah! But that’s okay because they are all amazing!
On Tuesday, I’m
going day by day this time; we had the chance to serve in the Bishops store
house. It was a good experience but not a lot of people that day so we mostly
talked with those who were also there. Two people were from our ward and it was
good to get to know them more. One of them was our 2nd counselor in the
bishopric! His name is Brother Richards, Peter I think, and he is a convert to
the church. He is a spiritual giant and has the coolest family. They always try
to send us home with frozen meals or things like that so we don’t wither away
and die but I don’t think that will happen anytime soon!
Wednesday we got
to go to Seattle again, this time I didn’t have to drive🙌, and had our hand off lesson! The girls, Jazmine
and Justine, are so cool! They have such strong testimonies and we are excited
to get to know them better.
Thursday was boring so
well move on. (We just had a bunch of meetings)
On Friday we volunteer
at North West Harvest, a provider for food banks. It is always a good way to start our morning! the
people are so kind and loving AND we get a chance
to wear jeans so there is a perk, but if I’m being honest I might wear dresses
for the rest of forever. They are so free... haha!
Skipping Saturday,
a normal day, and going to Sunday. It was Fast Sunday AND the first day of
daylight savings. I’m not sure how I like this whole changing the time to
accommodate people. I guess I just don’t understand it but it is weird. It gets
dark at 4:30ish. Night is so dark here because there is no moon or stars so you
just guess where you are going most of the time! Besides that Sunday was really
good! I never appreciated fasting till my mission. I have realized that we are
literally submitting our physical bodies to our spirit so we can better learn from
the Holy Ghost. I know that there is power in fasting and having a specific
thing that you are wanting an answer to. It’s amazing how much the Lord wants
to reveal to us if we are willing to listen!
I am loving the
mission life. I could pass on some of the rainy days but even then I am so
grateful to be a servant of the lord!
Thank you all for your
prayers and emails! You are amazing! I love you all so much!
