WOWOWO!

Sorry I haven't been able to send a weekly in a min but these past 3 weeks have been the craziest and fastest three weeks of my whole mission! I honestly didn't think the AP life was this crazy but we are always on the move. It's a grind but I love it! These past 2 weeks we have had trainer trainee meetings, Doctrine of Christ meetings and Zone Conferences! It's been a real testimony builder to me though serving in this area, even though we don't have a lot of time to go out and work because of all the training, the Lord really does bless us with success when we do go out and work! For example, we had a baptism this past Saturday for Nathan Harrison and I seriously have trusted in the Lord so much on my mission to help us with the people that we are teaching! It was the biggest blessing and the baptism was amazing!

These past 2 weeks we have also had a couple of exchanges and let me just say that EXCHANGE MIRACLES are a real thing! We exchanged with the Othello Zone Leaders, Moses Lake zone leaders and the Selah zone leaders! Haha they were all so fun and I learned SO MUCH from each of the elders! When I was with the othello zone leaders, me and Elder Lingard saw so many miracles, we actually put Charity, somebody that they are teaching that has been struggling so much, on date for baptism for December 11th! We were so pumped! I don't know why but my mind has been blown and my testimony has grown so much in these past couple weeks with seeing the Lord's hand in every aspect of the work!

With being AP, we don't have a lot of time to plan because we are always busy doing so many different things. So I have also seen the promise of opening my mouth and it shall be filled. With the training of Doctrine of Christ and Trainer Trainee, me and Elder Woodbrey give talks on obedience and being humble.  I can't even tell you everything that I said but the words were just flowing and the personal experiences I've had throughout my life I have been able to share and help the other missionaries that I was talking to! It was really something amazing to feel and I will never forget that experience!

Even with all the work, me and Elder Woodbrey have been able to get out for a little on Pdays and go on some pretty cool hikes! On one of the hikes we took a little bit of time and said a companionship prayer asking for the help that we need to be able to help assist president and lead this mission in the direction that the Lord wants it too! It was so amazing to be out in nature and really talk to my Father in Heaven! I want to invite everyone to take a sec this week and really find a quiet and peaceful place to talk to our Father in Heaven and ask him what he wants from you, and what you can do this week to be a better you... and then when you receive that answer. DO IT! I promise you that he will answer your prayer and that you will feel the love of our father!

I love you all and thank you to all who have sent me packages and letters! I love you all!!!

Crazy Transfer Call!

Wow-o-wow what a week! We have received transfer calls and I have received the call that I will be moving areas but I will be staying in Yakima. Now here's the crazy part.... I have been released as a Zone Leader and I have been called to be the new Assistant to the President! I am super excited for the new assignment! I will be replacing Elder Hart, who is the best missionary I have ever seen, so I am so nervous - but I know that the Lord will provide!

I got the call on Saturday and started on Sunday, so things are going crazy. My mind is honestly on a spin cycle with all of the information that I am receiving right now haha but it's good and hopefully everything will start to slow down as I continue to learn! I will be serving with Elder Woodbrey! We lived together before in the MTC, so it's going to be lit serving with him! He is like the smartest human being I have been around so I am excited for everything that I am about to learn from him! 

The sucky thing is I will be working as an english missionary now..... so I pray that I won't lose my spanish! Me and Elder Woodbrey are both spanish missionaries so we are going to be grinding the spanish study when we have time, so it will be ok! The Lord will make a way! But honestly I am truly humbled for the assignment that I have received!

Other than that, we had the why I believe fireside and we had a great turnout! The Garfias from Mattawa came down and they loved it too! We sang as missionaries and it was the Selah Zone and the Yak Valley zone together - so when we sang it literally sounded like a full choir! We had 36 missionaries and it was awesome! 

This week has been crazy! I hope you guys have the best week ever! I love you all!
