March 23, 2015- Whispers Baptism

   This week was a really good week till the end of it. Whisper got baptized on Saturday. My comp started filling up the font and we felt the water about half way through and it was freezing! I went to go shut the water off to let the water warm up and I saw that he turned on the cold water instead of the hot haha. But we didnt have time to drain it and start over, We just filled the rest up with hot water. But it was still pretty cold! Im glad I wasnt the one in the water with her ha. Whisper was shivering and cold! But she was a good sport about it all. We told her she would be warmed up when she recieved the Holy Ghost "Baptized with fire".

   We have been trying to find some more people to teach and tracting alot. But no luck. Except Whispers friend Shylynn came to our last lesson and the baptism&confirmation and invited her to meet with us. She said she would ask her parents and on Sunday we found out that her mom is friends with another recent convert in the branch! So hopefully we can start teaching Shylynn!

    But eerything is going pretty good! Sorry to hear the bad news! I hope everyone is doing well and turning to the Savior for comfort. Uncle Luke is missed!

  Love you all!

Whisper's Baptism

March 9, 2015- Git 'er Done!

What up everyone??

      This week was awesome! We are seeing alot happen! A couple weeks ago we recieved a training in Zone Conference about Gods creation pattern. He created everything spiritually before he created them Temporally. We to must create thing spirituall (create it in our minds believe that it will happen and have faith in Christ to help us) then go out there and act and create it temporally with Christs help. Thats what we have been doing. Creating a vision for our area and go out and act in faith and its been working. We seen so many hearts soften and willing to listen. Im loving it right now. I cant believe I come home in 5 months I believe on July 28th to answer your question mom.

  Everything else is going great I love my Zone and my Zone Leaders we have a good time. One of them came out with me and is going home with me! Pray I stay in the Kennewick mission when it splits please!

Love YOu all!

Congrats Chaylee and Devin!

March 2, 2015- Kissed on the Mish??

So something I forgot to email last week... Last Saturday we were out talking to people on the street and this lady came up to us saying "You guys are in a devil town you are wasting you time" we just laughed and kept talking to her. She told us she didnt believe in God because her daughter died a year a go and didnt know why God would take her from her, she was crying the whole time. We talked about the Plan of Salvation for her on the street corner for 30 minutes. Oh and she was pretty drunk as well. But when we were about to leave she told me your a cute kid you gonna do a young lady good someday, then she grabbed me and kissed me on the cheek haha. I told President Ware about it at Zone Conference and he was like " was She cute?" I said well she was like 40-45 so not really.  then he just laughed and said dont do it again or tell her rather not to do it again, and this whole time I was freakin and geekin what he would say haha.

   The Barkers baptism went well! They are so excited about the Gospel and cant wait till some one replaces them at there job so they can come for all 3 hours and not just Sacrament meeting. There daughter who is a member came down for there baptism, she was really excited. It was an awesome experience to perform the baptism for Brother Barker and Confirm Sister Barker and vise versa for my comp.

   Everything is going well though. Our area is on fire. We have been striving to be more obedient with the trainings we been receiving and they have been paying off! Thanks for everything you guys do for me! Good luck with the Wedding this weeek!

Barker's Baptism

February 9, 2015- Happy Valentines!

 HEy!,

   Yes I got the package thank you! I got a trench coat from a member this week:) So I am finally like Jason Bourne like I wanted to be when we went to Ecuador. The Barkers came to church, both of them this time! They loved it. It was Branch conference so they got some good speakers.

   The Stake President taught the 3rd hour. Before he started he through down about missionary work. He said the mission is spliting and that means there will be double the amount of missionaries in the area of the original WKM but now its gonna be 2 seperate missionaries. HE said they want a set of missionaries for each unit but if you arent doin you job then they will take missionaries from you and put them in a unit that needs extra missionaries. And told them its there job to find not ours. HAha I loved it because I wasnt in there shoes,

   Everything else is goin well. We are trying to find people that wanna learn. We have had to drop a few people.

  i started reading Believing Christ again and everytime I read it I realize I need to work on my faith so I have been working on that and being humble!

  Well hope all is going well!

Love you all!

Driving to Ellensburg for P-Day

Lovin' it

February 2, 2015- Sister Mission Completed!!

HEy!!
  Finished my Sister Mission on Saturday. So I guess the last 6 months is what makes me a man?? haha jk.

  This week was pretty good! The Barkers are doing awesome. We had to push there baptism back to the 28th because Brother Barker had to go to the hospital Saturday so they didnt make it to church. But they are still moving right along. They have given up all the Word of Wisdom issues and are going strong with that!

   Superbowl Sunday we couldnt really do anything again since the Seahawks were in it again. But, they lost so hopefully that humbled them!! The fans are ridiculous. They have this seahawk flag that like the american flag just blue and green instead of red, white, and blue with the seahawk on the stars. Pisses me right off! I wanna burn all of em'.

  Anywho things are going great. Weather is awesome not to cold. It started snowing today so we will see if it sticks.

  Hope all is well! Hope you guys get ready for the wedding in time suckers! I dont gotta help:P

Take Care!!

Love,

January 26, 2015-What's Good??

HEy! Cle Elum is still going good! Yes im still loving it. I wish the snow wood stick so its not so muddy though. How am I supposed to look fresh and clean with all this mud?

  Bob Barker came to church this weeek! That was awesome to see him there. His wife couldnt come because she has bronchitis. But they are still doing good. She has been off cigarettes for a week now! Now she is giving up coffee and tea. She was supposed to quit on Saturday so we will see if she did tomorrow.

  We had interviews with President Ware on Wednesday as always I loved them. He is awesome and keeps me moving. These last 6 months are gonna be hard I can already tell.

  Well hope everything is going good at home! Love you alll!!

January 12, 2015- Met Bob Barker, what??

 So this week was sikk nasty!! On Tuesday we had a return appointment with a couple Bob&Sharon Barker. There daughters (who is a member) called the Branch President here about the week before I got here because her dad (Bob) was diagnosed with lung cancer, and she wanted him to have a blessing. So the branch president sent the missionaries. And when they went they said they wanted to learn more about the gospel and that's when I got introduced to them at the return appointment. We taught them the Restoration and they loved it. They committed to give up smoking, tea , and coffee by this Saturday and also to be baptized on February 7th!! Bob Barker is getting baptized "the price is right" fyi not the real Bob Barker haha. The work here is going awesome. There are slow days since this place is so small but there are tons of people out there that are being prepared by the Lord and wanting to find happiness in there life!

  So, Almost died yesterda! Comin down a mountain and it was snowing and going a lil to fast and our jeep went sideways! Was about a foot from runnin into the side of a cliff then about 4 feet from rollin down the mountain. Its ok though got the Lord on our side and I know how to drift so I corrected it pretty fast:) I needed that adrenalin rush haha. 

  Thanks for all the Birthday wishes! Love you all!
