Marhaba

I had to add this one.. MY ARABIC NAME TAG CAME IN

That topic thingy is Arabic for hi! But written how it sounds when you say it...  anyway, how are you all!?  I really hope you have all had an amazing week! It has been a little crazy here in Washington, mainly my companionship, but everything is going well! Sister Skousen and I have been trying to get to know each other better and figure out how we work together. Everything comes in time and i am grateful to be able to know her and learn from her!

We have an investigator named Lauren right now who is AMAZING! I’m not sure if I have talked about her before but here I go again! She is on date for March 4th and is chopping at the bit to have the day come already! She has been wanting this for a while, 8yrs old, but finally decided to do something about it! She is so willing to meet with us and she drives 30 min to and from her house to come meet with us! She is so ready for this commitment! She had us over for dinner yesterday and we had a lesson over steak and corn and diet coke, could you ask for more than that?  She keeps telling me that she will be quite mad if I get transferred in 2 weeks and I keep telling her to pray and tell God she needs me here... we will see how that one goes :) Anyway, the work is going well and we are being blessed each day!

our temple trip!

2 zones attending the Seattle Temple

Today we had the chance to go to the temple!!!!!!!!!!! I have been so excited about this I’m sure everyone in Washington knows about it! It had been way to long since I had been and it was amazing to be able to go into the house of the Lord and remember my promises with him and help people make the same promises! There is such an amazing spirit there that brings peace and hope to your life if you will let it. I would encourage you all to go to the temple as frequently as possible! Even if it is just to walk the grounds. Questions are answered there and your relationship with your father in heaven grows so much! I have come to know even more this past week that God is real and that he loves me and each of us. Jesus really is the Christ and the atonement is for us personally to use and be freed from sin and our sorrows! I am so grateful to all of you who have helped me gain this knowledge. I hope that each and every child of God will know that they are loved and cherished! He wants us to come home and by living this Gospel we will get there! I love you all so much! Have an amazing week!
