Leaving Bellevue

I HAVE LEFT BELLEVUE!!...That's really weird...not being in Bellevue... Anyways, I am  now in Shoreline. The ASL elders are in my Zone... One is signing next to me right now... so jealous!!! My companion is sister Lee. She's from Korea. She's only been out for 3 months.

This last week was crazy!! Sister Wright and I found 5 new investigators!!! We put 2 of them on date on my birthday!! (on date for baptism) but then they dropped us the next day. So that was sad, but it was a good week.

Trials

This week, we got in contact with 2 less active members that we have been trying to get in contact with FOREVER!!! And they said we could come back this week so we're really excited about that. We also went on exchanges. Sister Crocett came here with me. We found some really good potential investigators that said we could come back next week. So that's another thing we're really excited
about.  And David (another potential investigator) actually called us back and we set an appointment with him  for Sunday!!!! I'm super excited for that. We've been trying to get an appointment with him FOREVER!!

We also had a Zone meeting this week that was really good. President Choi crashed it. (So obviously it went over) and he talked about trials and overcoming trials. He read Mosiah 24:10-15 and then told us that when a trial comes, punch it in the face and tell Heavenly Father that you just love this trial!! And ask for the strength to overcome it.  We also had a zone Breakfast as well. The food was yummy.  It's always fun to get together and be able to talk.

I've also been working really hard on my Portuguese. hehe... Yeah let's just say it's interesting. ... there's this word "Cao" and I keep saying it wrong cuz apparently it has to sound nasally but I can't make it sound nasally to save my life. XP

Transfers are next week so p-day will be on Tuesday.

Snow

Well, to start out this week has been FREEZING!!!  It's been below 0 all week. We even got snow for 2 days. So we weren't allowed to use the cars. We had to ask members for rides to our appointments and to church. It was pretty great.

Then we had to drop ALL of our investigators. :(  And because the Seahawks won the superbowl, EVERYONE has had Seahawks fever! XP

And there was a HUGE parade they did for the Seahawks in Seattle, so no one was home that day. And the ones that were, were annoyed that we were knocking on their door.

But on Saturday it was just a glorious day for MIRACLES!!! We spent the whole day tracting. (Literally we walked all around Trossachs) and we ended up teaching 8 other lessons and found 3 solid potentials who said we can come back and teach them!!! We're pretty excited about that.

Hmmm...and yeah. That's all I have for this week..oh wait jk.  So one of the members. has this pillow that says "Stressed spelt backward is desserts." I really like that. Oh yeah, and apparently we should be getting iPads soon. And yeah...that's all I have

Stake Conference

I'm doing good. I caught a cold this week. And I'm still trying to get over it. I've gone through so many tissues XP.

This week I helped the Mcfaddens move. I love that family. I'm sad that they moved, but hey, they only went to Northbend so that's not too far. And that's in the Mission now. So maybe one day I'll get transferred there!!

I got a picture of Belle. (Sister Mcfadden's Daughter) with ALL of her pandas. She has 5 HUGE Pandas and she loves them so much. but I forgot to bring my SD card in so I'll send the picture next week.

Then we had Zone Conference as well.  It was really good, but we also had Stake Conference  and Elder Adukaitis came. And it was all on Hastening the work of Salvation. It was amazing!!  He talked a lot about choosing faith over everything. But I think my favorite part was when he talked about to stop inviting. He said that if you have already invited and they said "No" stop. And to do assertions instead. So like say to them "I was at church and someone gave a talk on families and it made me think of you because you told me about how much you love your family." or something like that and if you keep doing that how eventually they'll just ask if they can come.
