Madison in Federal Way Mission: Transfer news...

walking a trail for contacting and i liked the leaf in the tree

This week has been crazy and never ending! i thought that we were stuck on each day for at least 5 years. Well not really but it was kind of ridiculous. Anyway, it was a good week though. We were able to work with the members a lot and started finding less active members. Our bishop and mission president told us for our ward specifically that working with the less active members will be the most help in finding people to teach! I hope that James hill will see more progress by trying that out.

So, transfer calls were on Sunday. I got a call from the Zone Leaders and I am being transferred out of the Zone. It is bittersweet. Sweet because I am going to be able to learn so much and do new things! It is sad because I am in love with this ward I’m in. I feel like I’m leaving my 2nd family and I’m not too fond of that. We had FHE last night so I had the chance to say goodbye to a lot of them. They made me bear my testimony and then the tears started flowing. I have made great relationships that I know will last a lifetime. So many of these people have influenced my life in such great ways! Okay. Enough sappy stuff. I will be serving in the Graham Washington area! My companion is Sister Tayco and we will be double covering. (2 wards) I am excited to go be done in what the people call the boonies of Washington! Woot woot! I’ll probably fit in ;) I’ll give a thorough update on how it all goes next week!

last night at FHE

Sister Skousen and I are trying to go do the things I’ve wanted to do for the past 7 months in one day. Before 2 pm. I’m not sure that will happen but we'll see :) we had the chance to go to dinner on Saturday night with some of the sisters from our ward! It was fun to have a 'girls night' while the men were at the priesthood session. (Even though that 'girl’s night' only lasted an hour :))

General conference was SOOO GOOD! Man I wish it didn’t go as fast as it does. I could listen to it all week! There are too many good talks to talk about but a few that stood out to me were the talks that mentioned Seattle missions, and the talk about investigators from the man who was a convert himself. All the talks were so powerful and I am excited to apply them to my life! President Monson’s talk spoke me as well. What a blessing to be reminded of the importance of the Book of Mormon. I would invite you to do what our prophet asked and to start reading the Book of Mormon again, every day! I know that it will be a blessing to our life if we do so!
