What a fun week it has been!

HELLO!! 

The senior Sisters serving in the
ward before us leave us the cutest
 treats for us to snack on in between
our 2 wards! Love them!!
 What a fun week it has been! We have seen lots of miracles and we have had some fun times! I have learned a lot from Sister Jay. One of the many things that she is good at is asking 'get to know you' questions, consecrated ones nonetheless! Here are some examples of her favorite things to ask:
-"if you were a flower, what kind of flower would you be?
-" you’re on a high speed chase. You are with one other person from the zone. Who would you pick?"
-" If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go? (Plot twist was that when I answered she then added, “oh ya, you can never come back from there." so now I am stuck in Italy, which really isn’t too big of a deal I guess...)

I love her a lot! We have had lots of fun times together the past few weeks! 

Our ward mission leader in Garrison Creek is the best. We report to him about our day most nights and we are able to talk about the ward and the work and figure out how we can improve. Of course we discuss other things as well. The subject of Christ and marriage got brought up. He told me that I would marry Jesus. (Yes that might be taken out of context......but I think it might be a compliment so I’ll take it ;) 

Sister Jay is a model. Enough said
RHONDA'S GETTING BAPTIZED!!!! She is an investigator in the Soos Creek ward and has been looking into the church for almost 2 years and on Saturday she will be getting baptized! WOOT WOOT! She sent us Alma 5:62 the other day that says, "... I speak by way of invitation, saying: come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye also may be partakers of the fruit of the tree of life." She knows it’s true and I am so proud of her!! It has been a blessing to get to know her more and more and to help her in these last minute times before she makes this covenant! The gospel is so good!

 We had dinner at the Halverson’s house the other day. (I love this family) Brother Halverson served his mission in Bolivia and he was telling us that the legends of the Bolivian people line up to the stories that are in the Book of Mormon. He showed us this power point he made for some presentation that showed how their stories line up. It went over the geography and different things of the Book of Mormon and South America. I really can’t do it justice but sister Jay and I were in awe the whole time! It was cool to see the similarities of the people and the Book of Mormon. He told us that the people had great faith and they understood that it was a true book! AMAZING!! (Theory that probably everyone but myself has thought about: cureloms and cummons, LLAMAS AND ALPACAS!!!!) 

The Halversons gave us some hand
 soap on Sunday! I mentioned
 that I liked theirs a few days earlier!
They are the best

 Life in Washington is good! I’m grateful to be serving here!! I love these people and I’m blessed every day to talk with them! I know this church is true and even through our hard times we can overcome them through the Atoning sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ!! I love you all and hope you have a great week!!
