week 45 Rejected...at the gas station???

February 24, 2014

Oi!

This week was not our best week. We have had a lot of trainings lately on commitments and we realized that a lot of our investigators are not progressing. So we took a leap of faith and dropped almost all of our investigators. We dropped a family I have been working with since I first came to Yakima and that was really hard. But I know that we will find more people to teach through faith and hard work. There are people prepared here in Yakima and we just have to find them :)

We had a zone meeting this week and it was awesome! I always learn so much from other missionaries. We were split up into groups for part of it and I ended up in a group with my district leader, one other sister and a lot of elders. We talked about what it means to minister. I got out of it that ministering is really showing love and loving the people we are working with. I think if we really love those we teach than we will be able to help them more.

Also we had something weird happen this week...we went to go get gas and the gas station rejected our gas card! Ha ha, we get rejected at doors all the time, but I never have at the gas station. We called the mission office and they are still trying to figure out what happened, hopefully they figure it out soon :)

Well I hope you all have a good week! Keep on smiling :)

Week 44 Quase = Almost

February 17, 2014

Ola!

Well this week was a little bit crazy. We spent a lot of time with our investigator Angie this week trying to prepare her for her baptism. She got baptized on Friday and it was great! She was so happy. I am grateful that I have had the chance to teach her, she is going to be a great member :)

We did have a little bit of fun this week. We went and heart attacked the other members of our districts houses. It was great to get to show others how much we love them and are thankful for them. 

In case your wondering about my visa...I heard 2 things this week. On Tuesday President Ware called and said that my visa would most likely be here at the end of the transfer! I was SO excited and a little scared ha ha. Then we had zone conference on Wednesday and President Ware came up to me and he had just gotten an email saying that the Brazil consulate in Houston, TX rejected all the visas that were going through. It was definitely hard to hear that my visa has been rejected again. I was so excited and then to hear more about it made me really sad. But I know Heavenly Father has a reason I am here. I dont know the reason but He does and He has a plan for me.

Zone conference was great! We learned about making commitments, and we have been able to apply that the rest of the week. President Ware said something at the end of the conference that I really liked. "Turn first to Him, sometimes what comes wont seem reasonable but remember some miracles dont seem reasonable at all." Things happen for a reason, I know that is true.

Oh the subject. Sister Steen has been helping me do flashcards for language study. Yesterday I could not remember what 'quase' meant in English. It means 'almost' ha ha. I don"t know why it just would not stick in my head ha ha. 

Well I hope you all have a great week! Keep on smiling :)

week 42 A sunBEAM

February 3, 2014

Oi!

Well this week was pretty awesome! We had transfers, I am staying here in Yakima and my new companion is Sister Steen. She is straight from the MTC. We get along so well. Actually its kind of amazing how well we get along. This should be a great transfer :)

By the way...GO SEAHAWKS! Ha ha...I heard the super bowl wasn't all that great. We did weekly planning during it, but we could hear the neighbors yelling when something happened.

We had a lesson with our investigator Angie this week and she has completely stopped smoking which means...she is getting baptized on February 14th! We have been praying for her a lot so that she will be able to continue to not smoke. She is struggling a little bit but I know that prayer works and that if we keep praying for her she will be ok.

We also met with our investigator Ted and his 3 grandkids this week. We try to include the kids in the lessons and at one of our lessons we sang a lot of primary songs. We must have sang "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam" about 5 times and of course we had to jump up every time it says 'Sunbeam.' That was a workout ha ha...but the kids loved it :) And the spirit was definitely there while we were singing.

Well I think that's about it. Just so you know...its snowing right now...yuck. I cant wait for winter to be over ha ha. Well have a great week and keep on smiling :)
