It’s cold, it’s wet and the work is AMAZING!

It’s cold, it’s wet and the work is AMAZING! We have had some struggles with our investigators the last 2 transfers but things are turning around in the James Hill ward! Our investigator Bebeto is doing really good! He came to church this past Sunday and really liked it! Our ward has the best members and they are so good at fellow-shipping! He has asked us to pray for him so he doesn't have a change of heart like last time! I’m so grateful that the spirit is the teacher! Without him there is no way that we would be able to help him progress in the gospel. I feel very blessed to be the one who has the opportunity to help him. It is a testimony to me that hearts can change and that people are drawn to the good in the world, AKA Jesus Christ!

Wisam, our eternal investigator, is still coming to church and taking the lessons! He is doing well we just wish so badly that he can be baptized. One day things will change in his situation in Iraq and he will be able to become a member! Until then we are helping him strengthen his testimony each and every day! Sister Taylor and I don't know what we have done to be so blessed but we know that as we continue to be tuned instruments in Gods hand we will continue to reap the blessings!

I love the people here in Washington, as I have mentioned before, but some of them I have to work harder to love. haha!

We were on exchanges on Friday and I went to another area while sister Taylor stayed in James hill. Sister Gafa, my sister training leader, and I pulled up to a stop light and saw a homeless man who wanted some food so I gave him an apple and a mormon.org card. (Always be 'finding' number one rule) We rolled up the window and waited to go. Before we could drive away we heard a knock at the door and it was the homeless man. He gave us the apple and the card back and said ”I don’t agree with the “Moron” religion and I can’t eat anything from you... I’m not sure why he didn't just take the apple and throw away the card but

he must not of been that hungry. I prayed a lot for him and that I might have charity for him. I hope that one day he will just take the apple. There are many other incidences that I could tell about but it aint worth getting all riled up again! Ha ha! I really do love these people I promise

I am excited about Christmas! Everyone has their lights up and fun things are going on in our area! We have our ward talent show and Christmas dinner this Friday and we also have our Christmas zone conference and devotional! It’s gunna be great! I hope that everything in AZ or wherever you may be is going well! I love you all so much! I hope that you all look up the 'Light the World' initiative from the church and do all you can to serve people as Christ did! I love the opportunity this season brings to help people come unto Christ! Don’t forget that he loves you and wants to help you! He is our Savior and Redeemer. I’m so grateful I’m here on my mission sharing the gospel to his children! There is no other place I’d rather be right now! I love you and hope you have a wonderful service filled week :)
