Week 26 - Moses Lake Road Trip :')

I didn't dare break the news to her that winter isn't gone…in fact, I'm not sure it is here yet. Anyway, Cam seems to be doing great. If you haven't looked at her missions blog, you should, there are a lot of great pictures of her during their zone conference. Camri started chatting with me about the times I use to take her to my school activities. She recalled a time when I bought her a ring. We have really been missing Camri this week. I know she is where she is suppose to be. I can't believe she has already been out for six months. I hope the next 12 months go as fast as the first 6. Thanks for your prayers in her behalf.

Did y'all watch the super bowl?! It was so sick!!! Justin Timberlake totally tore it up!!
JK JK! I didn't watch the superbowl of course ;)
Because of the game, no one signed up to feed us dinner last night so we ended up asking bishop if we could come over.  His family is so good to us! He said they didn't really care about the game so hopefully they weren't lying....
Anyways! I'll start with the bad news.  Soooo Sergio, the man that was on-date to be baptized, decided to drop us.  He told us he doesn't think he loves God enough to give up some of his worldly habits.  He told us he believes the Book of Mormon is true, but  he just doesnt want to put in the effort to do anything about it.  It was basically the saddest thing I have ever heard.  Those moments are what makes missionary work so hard.  Because he has his agency, and theres nothing we could do about it.  But I know he has felt the spirit before.  And hes seen the difference the gospel can make in his life.  So maybe one day, he'll decide to come back to it.
Oh yeah! Zone Conference was so so so good!!! it was so weird driving back into Moses Lake.  My heart overflowed and I felt so at home! I didn't realize how much I missed that place.  And I loved seeing all of my pals again! My Ephrata zone called me a traitor because I went and ate my lunch by Moses Lake missionaries hahah.  Oh well. 
I got to go to Moses Lake again on Saturday for a baptism! One of the people I taught before the area split got baptized.  Remember Lorena? She is the one that didn't know there was a God but one day discovered that there is a God and now she has a super strong testimony! Shes freaking awesome! A ton of the ward members came to it too and so it was nice seeing all of them.  And sister Wadman! Its always good seeing her. :)
One of our investigars, Mike, is on-date for March 24th! We taught him the restoration on Friday and it went really good! We asked him to say the closing prayer and he was a little nervous.  he wasn't sure what to pray about so he said, "i'll just pray for the puppies".  Because he has a bunch of puppies right now hahah.  It was rad.  He just wants them to find loving homes.  I wish with all my heart I could take one... :(
The main theme at zone conference was the Book of Mormon.  There is so much power in the Book of Mormon! Especially on my mission, the Book of Mormon has become so important to me.  Its more than just words on a page.  If you haven't read the book of mormon, READ IT.  And if you have read it, READ IT.  We have it for a reason.  Every single time I have a question about the gospel that I can't seem to find an answer to, or any time someone bashes with us and I just don't know how to feel, I go back to my testimony of the Book of Mormon.  I don't know a lot of things.  But as long as I know the Book of Mormon is true, its okay that I don't know a lot of things.  So if you're questioning whether the church really is true, find out if the Book of Mormon is true.  And everything else will fall into place.  I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON.  Oh yeah and fun fact, it mentions Christ every 1.7 verses on average. 
This morning we went to a members house- Sister Sortomme- and she helped me decorate a cake for my birthday next week.  We are celebrating early since Sister Lowham will be leaving me in a week :(  I'll attach a pic of the cake.
Thats about it for this week! Yesterday it was 60 degrees which was insane! It was super nice.  Winter might actually be gone.  Yay!
Also, I hit SIX MONTHS this week! Yikes.  LOVE YOU ALL!
