Hi Hi

Hello world! Things are still going great here in Forest Grove! I absolutely love it here. Lots of miracles this week, we started teaching 2 new people!! They are a referral from Bishop and they're siblings and they're awesome. One of them, Damien, is 9 and the cutest lil man, with thick curly black hair, and his story is one of the miracles: his mom posted on facebook after we taught the restoration (over video chat) saying she admires her Damien's faith. She goes on to explain how Damien prayed to know if the BOM was true, and said he didn't receive an answer, but that he know he will. THEN, the next morning, the BOM was on the table next to Damiens school stuff, and they have no idea how it got there!!!!!! And Damien was just like, "that's my answer, I got my answer." It was so cool. They're such a wonderful family. 


We've met so many people this week, and its incredible how the spirit is still so strong over technology. Its amazing to hear these peoples stories and my heart is almost bursting with the love I feel for these people, who I have never even met! I know it's the love of Christ and has nothing to do with me. I'm grateful that Heavenly Father has given me this opportunity to be a part of His work. It's truly amazing. The greatest miracles I've seen are the ones where people change. When we teach people, they are completely different at the end than they were at the beginning. They quite literally glow. There's a sparkle in their eyes that wasn't there before, and it is breathtakingly clear that their hearts have been changed, and their spirits revived. How could this not be the work of almighty God? 


"I testify that the future is going to be as miracle-filled and bountifully blessed as the past has been. We have every reason to hope for blessings even greater than those we have already received because this is the work of Almighty God, this is the Church of continuing revelation, this is the gospel of Christ’s unlimited grace and benevolence." - Jeffrey R. Holland 


I love my mission. Something I honestly never thought I would say. 
And I love you people ❤❤

We started teaching a new lil honey, almost put them on date, and could possibly drop them today, And We have virtual lessons with members every night which cures my depression I love the members here ❤  Not much else has been happening... Ashley is AMAZING and progressing so well!! She just eats up everything we teach her, and is SO excited! I love her, shes also pretty hilarious.  Nothing can stop the work of God!!!  We were supposed to get transfer calls last night.... but that never happened. Idk what's going on... ever, it's fine. I could get yeeted outta B-ville on thursday or I could stay for 2 more months. Or all the missionaries will get sent home. Idk man.

ONE YEAR???????

Image
Well, folks, we made it -- ONE YEAR!!! Honestly never thought it would happen, but God is so good, and He loves us too much to let us fail.  The work is going well, we found out one of the less-active members we're working with may not be a member at all! He cant remember if he actually ever was baptized. So that's kinda exciting, in a weird way. Probably not something I should be excited about  Thoughts: I think sending sis Mecham home was a real eye-opener for me, and kind of a reality check. Like missions don't last forever. Going into a church and having everyone instantly love me because of a tag, will eventually end. And even at Walmart we get stopped every time by people who want to talk to us and thank us for our service -- members and non-members! I'm gonna miss that.  Also, training is wack. Ive never been so aware of my weaknesses. also My child is a bit of a rebel, so I think the Lord is giving me a taste of my own medicine! Lol. BUT I FREAKING LOVE HERA. Sh...
