Week 43...? Baptism ahead πŸ₯³πŸ˜

Good times πŸ₯³

Update for this week:
This week we went on our exchange and it was really awesome :)) I got to go to Pine Lake with Sister McCurdy and it was AWESOME! We had so many lessons and did a lot of finding and it was just a super fun and well balanced day :)

Also there were like 7 people who said they were gonna come to church yesterday and only our friend Peter actually made it, so that was sad :(( but also it was great to have Peter there! πŸ˜
But we also had a lesson with him later that day with the Chinese Sisters and we clarified the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity and it went great! We were able to put him on date for October 9th, so I'm super excited!! 

Scripture of the week:
Alma 26:15
"Yea, they were encircled about with everlasting darkness and destruction; but behold, he has brought them into his everlasting light, yea, into everlasting salvation; and they are encircled about with the matchless bounty of his love; yea, and we have been instruments in his hands of doing this great and marvelous work."

I am so grateful for the opportunity I've had so far to be God's hands here in Washington. I know that there is so much light and hope and love and joy that comes from this gospel. I have seen lives change because of it, and I am so so grateful that I have known it my whole life.
I promise that if you haven't seen this light in your life, that you can! Start by praying, and reading the scriptures, and going to church. It's by doing the small things that we are able to grow our faith and learn to recognize God's hand in our lives. I love you all, and I hope you can see the light!

Happy Easter :)) Update for this week: A lot of fun stuff happened this week! On Wednesday we were at the church waiting for Teresa and her family because we had a lesson set up, but they ended up being late... so one of the counselors in the Bishopric recruited us to talk to the 14-15 yo boys about missionary work   it was awesome, and they had really good questions! Missionary work is a good time :) On Thursday, we took a member of the Samoan ward tracting with us because she's in the MTC! It was super fun, and she gave us a ton of tips for finding Polynesian people  Friday was Zone Conference and it was AMAZING. I learned a lot, especially from the discussion we had about General Conference. I LOVE Elder Uchtdorf's talk, President Nelson's talk, Elder Eyring's talk, and Elder KlebingΓΆt's talk. It was super amazing because it helped me learn how to be a better disciple of Jesus Christ. What's something you all learned from General Conference? I also had to bea...

They are both so cool and such good missionaries :) Sister Misi is an AMAZING teacher and so good at asking questions and also very artistic. Sister Beckstead is such a good example and is just so sweet and I'm sad she's gonna leave to her original assignment on the 21st because this trio life is just the best ever :( but she will do amazing things in Brazil too! This week we've been SUPER busy, I've been getting to know members and learning names and stuff, and we've had some lessons, tried to find people to teach, and also met a member who has a sword collection, and also antique/replica firearms, and bows and arrows (longbow and a recurve, none of them modern). I held one of his swords  Scripture of the week: 2 Nephi 2:28 "And now...
