Hello
from Washington!
 |
| Collectively, this was all of our scarfs, from the trio! |
I hope that everyone's
week has been amazing! I have heard from many people that good o’l Arizona is
raining and cold... It made my day to know that we were all trudging through
the same weather :) This has been an interesting week. One of my harder ones but
also very rewarding! I got emergency Transferred back to James Hill YSA with a
sister who just came back to the mission! Her name is Sister Skousen! She is
originally from Arizona so we have been trying to figure out common people we
would know. So far no luck but it will happen :)
I have felt like I
have been a rag doll being thrown from the cottage, to Auburn, to Kent, in a
trio and back to the cottage. I hope that I never have to move again but I
think that is not a wish that will be able to have so I’ll just grin and bear
it :D
The work has been
slowing down and it has been making me think constantly of what we need to do
to get everything up and moving again. I was praying a lot for help to find a
new investigator to teach. We have been trying everything and no one was
progressing. We were at church yesterday and I just kept asking what we needed
to do and selfishly wanting our Heavenly Father to just give us a new
investigator... sometimes he does answer our pleas in the way we want! After
relief society we met one of our member’s friends. Her name is Lauren and she
had been meeting with the missionaries in Skyway for the past couple weeks! She
told us she was more interested in being in the YSA ward and asked if we could
teach her instead! We feel bad about taking the elders investigator but... WE
SAID YESSS! She has a baptismal date for March 4th! I have never needed
something like that to happen more than I did yesterday! I know that God is
good and if it be His will he will give us the things we ask him for!
Any who, Washington is
still Washington! There has been some upheaval because the Seahawks lost their
big game. People are mourning about it but I rejoiced!! My prayers wear
answered! People here won’t talk to you if the game is on and they will bail
out of church and all things good if the Seahawks are playing. So many
blessings are coming about! :) ha ha!
Sister Skousen and I
crashed a wedding the other night. We went to the church to go to the bathroom
and fill up our water bottles and these people were having a reception and we
just walked right in not knowing about it! Luckily I sorta knew the couple and
they were all good with it but we got some strange looks from some of the
guests! It made for some great memories though so no biggy :)
Well, I love you all
so much. I just want each of you to know that I KNOW that this gospel is good
and true. It blesses lives and people can have pure Joy because of the
sacrifice our Savior and Brother made for each of us! I hope that you all take
the time to share your testimony with someone! I have come to love the Book of Mormon
even more than ever being here on this mission! I challenge you all to make it
a part of your daily life! I promise you that if you read each day, you will
receive the daily guidance needed to make it through the trials of your life! I
love each of you and I hope your week is amazing!!
Love sister Reynolds
