Sister Hale in Seattle

Hello everyone! Update for this week: This week has been great!!! Except we had 10 lessons cancel, but that's ok cuz most of them are getting rescheduled :) Ngl I forgot most of what happened, lol time flies  I did give what we call a "training" (it's like a 25 minute class for other missionaries) about charity and love, so that was interesting. Also, what the subject line is about: on Sunday we had in person church and one of the hymns that was played was "How Great Thou Art". These 2 little girls that were like 2 and 3 or something like that started dancing together to the music like down the aisles and it was so funny and so cute  Scripture of the week: Matt 16:24-26 "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the who...

Hello everyone! Today is Sister Wilson's birthday so I will be busy :) Update for this week: LIFE IS SO GOOD We have FINALLY gotten in contact with a lot of the people we were teaching who dropped off the face of the earth so they could see family and stuff and we've set up lessons with them!!! We also started teaching a few other people and I'm so excited :))) Scripture of the week: D&C 88:49 "The light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not; nevertheless, the day shall come when you shall comprehend even God, being quickened in him and by him." I love this scripture because it's so cool to think about how someday, sometime in eternity, we will be able to understand God. We will know how much He loves us and cares for us and we will fully understand Him because we will be like Him. :) Quotes this week: I've been slacking, so I didn't write any down this week   sorryyyyy Fun Fact (courtesy of Sister George): One of the people wh...

 Helllooooo everyboddayyy Update for this week: Today is transfers. Sister Manning is getting transferred and North Bend is getting whitewashed, so I will not only have a new comp but also a whole new household. It's gonna be crazy. Scripture of the week: John 7:17 "If any man will do his will he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself" This is so so true. The only way you can know whether or not something really works is if you experiment on it and do it. I'm so so grateful for the knowledge I have of this gospel and for the opportunity I have to share it with everyone I can :) Quotes this week: •"Do you have the entire book of D&C memorized?" -Elder Stilson •"There's a green guy in VeggieTales!" "That's a cucumber" -Sister Manning and Sister Briggs •"Faith has a short shelf life" -Elder Stilson Fun Fact: In ancient Greece, rosemary was valued for its alleged ability to strength...

 Helllooooo everyboddayyy Update for this week: We got a little more snow this week, but it didn't last the whole day so whatever  Also we had ZONE CONFERENCE and there's a sort of competition to see who can get the cleanest car and whoever does gets bragging rights, 100 extra miles, and some candy... guess who won this time. Sister Manning and me  ALSO we had the most AMAZING stake conference EVER!! Elder Nielson, who's the head of the missionary department, spoke and it was way awesome  One of my favorite parts was when Elder Miskin (in the quorum of the 70) said "God is easily pleased. Not easily satisfied, because He knows what we have the potential to become, but He is easily pleased as we put forth effort." And he went on to talk about trials and specifically how Moses parted the Red Sea by the spirit of revelation and he said "sometimes we may feel as though our backs are against the Red Sea, with an army in front of us. We will feel as though there is...
