Week 9 - 2 MONTHS SAY WHAAA




I am not sure how it happened but Camri was able to stay in  Moses Lake for at least one more transfer. She told us that her trainer had never had anyone stay past the first transfer.  I reassured her that they realized she needed a little more training than most. She did give me a reply but I will not post it. hahaha.
    Her area in Moses Lake is splitting up this week because there is so much territory to cover. As a result, two more sisters will be moving in with her and her companion. She is hoping they get bunk beds or things are going to get a little cozy. Can you imagine Camri living in that small space alone let alone with three others. Oh boy, I hope they tip the maid. She is also a little concerned about the car issue. She told me that if they make her a walking sista, she is packing her bags. In all seriousness, you can see how great she is doing. Thanks for all your support. 



Did y'all know that I left my home 2 months ago?? True story. 
Sooo Transfer calls were this week! GREAT NEWS! I'll be staying with Sis. Wadman in Moses Lake 2nd and YSA.  I'm her first 2 transfer companion since she was trained so we're both pretty stoked about it! But, our area is getting split because there's a lot of area to cover.  So two sisters will be moving into our apartment with us.  Its quite a small apartment so things could get pretty interesting... 
Two of the Elders are leaving the zone and we are SO SAD! As you all know, I get too attached to people too quickly and they have become fam.  E. Turley and E. Spitzer are leaving.  But it's okay because the Lord just needs them elsewhere.  :)
Sooo this week we started teaching a newly wed couple! We had a BOMB Restoration lesson and at the end, the husband asked us if he could buy a Book of Mormon at Walmart.  We replied that they don't sell them at Walmart, but we had like 5 in our bags so we hooked him up with the Word of God.  He said hes excited to read it and we have a lesson with them tomorrow!
Also.... a man showed up yesterday at church.  His name is Don.  he came in a kilt :)  I don't know a whole lot of background on him other than his house and yard is decorated in Anti-Mormon signs.  He stalked some of the members of the church and had a restraining order on him.  Hes a self proclaimed Nudist... so thats... something.  BUT! I guess he decided to watch conference.  He watched all of it and absolutely loved it! He started reading the Book of Mormon and believes that its true.  he took down all of his signs, and decided to come to church to thank God for all of the things that he has.  The ward members were all very surprised to see him so I take it that he's making a HUGE change in his life.  But thats what the gospel does, it changes people :)
Tonight we have a lesson with a family.  last time we saw them, I promised them that if they read the book of mormon as a family each day, they would feel a stronger bond as a family.  It's been a couple of weeks since then, but they ran in to E. Ence and told him they've been reading the Book of Mormon almost everyday! And Joey, the father of the family, told his cable guy that they didn't need tv. because they needed to read the Book of Mormon more.  THEY ARE SO LEGIT.  They even canceled their lesson with us last week because they were going to their daughters Young Womens event.  I guess if they're gonna cancel, at least it was to go to a church event lol.  I can't wait to teach them tonight.  I'll keep y'all updated on em :)
We've gone to the foodbank twice this week, thats always a good time! We scooped frozen carrots into bags one day, and sorted corn the other day.  Its always fun to sort corn with the missionary fam :)  
Oh yeah, this morning we had zone breakfast because of transfers on Wednesday.  It was so fun to get the gang together.  The zone leaders made us some chocolate chip pancakes and some eggs.  Wanna know something funny? I'm literally like a mom sometimes.  One of the elders ripped his pants, and I stitched the hole for him.  They also called us because they needed medicine.  And then another time, they called us to ask how to make rice.  And then another time they called to know how to keep their cast dry when they shower.  Freaking Elders.  
Sometimes I forget I'm a missionary, and I look down at my tag and remember and then its like, holy crap I'm a missionary.  Its da best.  Lovin life.  I hope everyone back home is doing soooo good! I love you all :)
