Back In The City We Go....

Hello!!

 So if there is one thing I have learned about myself this past week is that I truly do enjoy the smaller town feel. I am back in Renton area and I love it but the hustle and bustle can never meet up to the wonderful peace of the backwoods :) but really I do love it! We have seen lots of miracles and also some really strange things... but I guess that’s what you get in life! Both are favorites for sure!

 In my first week here I have been hit on by a man with nothing good going on in his mind, seen a few homeless men taking a nap on the road for 3 hours and a man get arrested at gun point. Man. this is the life. I think I could write a book with these things! :) 

Sister Jay and I!

 My companion is awesome! Her name is Sister Jay! She is from Utah and she is a Pun master. Very *puny* if I do say so myself... bad joke. Okay, she really is sweet! We have gotten a long really well and have had lots of laughs. We were given a gallon of milk on Sunday because a ward member had too much and we were pondering on how we would use it all. (We both still have some from last P-day shopping) And I’m not much of a milk drinker and there is only so much milk a person can drink! so our first idea was to get a bunch of different cereal at WinCo and eat cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner.... well not really dinner because we will be eating with members but the week of cereal has officially begun!! haha!

 I really love both wards I’m in! They have amazing members and I am excited to work with them more and get to know them! In Garrison creek ward the YSA bishop I worked with before and one of the YSA members are in the ward! It was fun being able to see them both! Surprising them was the best :D 

we took over the elders apartment.. im not sure where
they got this but it creeps me out just a bit..
but we also dont think we can just throw it away...

 We had what is called a 'day of finding' on Saturday. We go out tracting all day and miracles happened for sure! We were able to find 2 new investigators and one of the accepted a baptismal date for august 112th! We are excited to start working with her. It was amazing to walk into her home and feel the tension and sadness that she had going on and by the time we left the spirit was so strong. She offered a beautiful prayer and asked for a witness to know if this was true and she said she felt good inside and that this was the way God wants her to go! Truly a miracle. God is good. That lesson strengthened my testimony of the Holy Ghost and how it is capable of testifying of truth to anyone who desires to know it! We can all know what we must do to become closer to our savior and know that we are loved all from the wonderful gift of the Spirit! 

Went to dinner with a Samoan family! we had Seafood and
it was so good! we ate it with our hands only... my kinda place :)
 ( i am super white... Washington problems)

 I am grateful for this gospel and its goodness. This is truly the restored church of Jesus Christ! We are all able to know that it is true and once we know we have the duty to share it with others! Luke 22:32. I invite you all to share your testimony this week with someone! I know as you do that you will feel your own testimony grow! 

 I love you all so much!
