Weekly Update July 17!

Hi everyone!

Last week we had zone interview which meant that we got to meet with President and sister Schofield in private and talked about something that we want to talk. This time they decided to do training also. We haven't done this since my first transfer. President Gates gave a training about Obedience. When we obey God's commandments, we expect blessing to follow. But by obeying every commandment doesn't mean that we won't face any trail but we will be able to find joy and recognize the hand of the Lord in the trail that we face. In D&C 82:10 "I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say, but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise." #burn. The Lord promises us that blessing will come as we follow his commandments. Sometimes when we face trail, we forget that by doing little things like pray, read scripture and go to church will help us. Remember that the Lord gave us commandments because he knows that they will help us and lift us up in the time of need. There are countless time these things help me in the mission when I felt like I couldn't go further.  

Whoooooh! Are we all spiritually fed now? If not, reread the paragraph above this again haha.

Have a great week!

Hi!

We got to march in the parade on the 4th of July! We represented the pioneers and had hand carts with us. We didn't get to pull the cart. All we did is just walking and wave.. smile! the sister missionaries are here! The funny part was it was so easy to know who was the member or who wasn't because you would here them yell "Go Sisters! or CTR" haha.

 

We also got to celebrated the fourth with the Jensen family. They invited us to eat breakfast and dinner with them. We had dinner with them the next day also because no one signed up to have us over. Then we had a lesson with our investigator and brother Jensen came to the lesson. The next day we had a meeting with him because he is the Ward mission leader. That was pretty funny how often we get to meet with him. 

Have a great week!

Transfer 8th!

Hellllllo!

I almost forgot to send out the weekly email. Sister Conklin and I didn't get transfer which meant that we both are staying in Woodinville area. I've only been in this area for 3 weeks because of the emergency transfer but it will be her 4th transfer here in this area. 

Our investigator came to church last Sunday with her two kids and she loves it! It was Fast and testimony meeting. The funny thing was we had 2 lessons on fasting both in Sunday school and Relief society. 

For those who don't know what fasting is. Fasting is the commandment from the Lord, we humble ourselves before Him by voluntarily refraining from eating and drinking (usually two meals) We fast with purposes usually to help the poor and needy and also to ask for special blessings from the Lord. Fasting has never been easy for me because I get hangry all the time but when I really humble myself before the Lord, it became easier and I felt peace. I know that the Lord gave me strength when I pray for it. just like the scripture said in 3 Nephi 27 : 29 Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened. If we ask him in faith, believe that we will receive, then the Lord will give it to us.

Have a great week!

Woodinville is on FIRE!

Hello!

I'm in Woodinville area still! Transfer is next week so we will see if I will be staying or not. But Woodinville is on fire right now. We found solid investigators and they want to be baptized. What now? That is so crazy. Miracles are everywhere. We just need to have patience and trust in the Lord's will. 

Samroauy got to speak at the fireside last Sunday. President Gates asked me if I could asked Sam to speak. The plan was she would speak in Thai or Laotian and I would translate for her. But..... she decided to speak in English instead haha. I was just standing next to her, smiling awkwardly. Thanks goodness, there were some part that she didn't know how to say in English so I had to translate it. No one really understood what she said so I had to recap everything. It was fun though haha.  

Love you all!

Oh... in the picture, Sister Martin and I were at the mission office. We found tons of paper with quotes so we decided to decorate the door! It was a master piece haha. 

My arm.... I was doing service at the farm for 2 hours and forget to wear sunscreen. So now I have a tan line from my watch haha.

Woodinville!

Hello!

The reason that I put Woodinville for the head of this email because I got emergency transferred! Both Sister Hall and I had to leave Halls Lake YSA and closed down the area because there were two sisters that went home and we need to fill their spots. There is no sisters in Shoreline zone now. It was so crazy! I am now in Bothell zone, Woodinville ward. This is my 4 zones, 5 areas haha. They shipped me around quite often here.  But I love it so much. This new ward was awesome. Sister Conklin is my new companion. She is from Idaho and will go home in 3 months, crazy hah. There are so many missionaries that are going home in this transfer and the next 2 transfers. I felt weird about it. 

Well, Sister Hall and I got to go to Downtown Seattle last Monday with our sister training leaders. It was pretty fun. I got to go to Pike Place and it was like a flashback for me when I was there 9 months ago. Time flew by fast!

We had zone conference last Thursday. A couple missionaries and I got to perform a musical number, my kindness shall not depart from thee, it was super awesome and the fact that no one scream or run away. The main theme for this conference was about the Book of Mormon. I love this book so much and it helps me grow closer to my savior! I want to invite everyone to start reading it again and focus more on Jesus Christ this time, highlight his teaching and his name. And  I can promise you that you will grow even closer to him.

Have a super awesome week!

We got insulted by a parrot!

Hello!

Last week was an interesting week! We went to visit a potential YSA that we had. When we knocked on the door, we heard the voice "HELLO! WHO IS THAT!" and it kept repeating until someone answered the door.  It wasn't the person that we wanted to talk to. When they shut the door.. that voice laughed at us...yes laughed at us. The girl opened the door and said that it was a parrot!! Oh my goodness. Are you kidding me now haha. 

We hit our officially 9 months tomorrow.  So we decided to take a picture like we are pregnant. 

Nothing much going on this week but next week will be great! 

Oh! I forgot to mention that our ward had retreat on Vashon Island and they also had church there. It is still in our mission but we couldn't go haha. So we went to the Edmonds ward instead and guess whom I met! The Christensens! They came because Brother Christensen's aunt was speaking. I was so so happy! Little tiny things happen everyday. I wrote down miracle that happens everyday so I can count my blessing and be grateful for things that happens no matter how bad the day can be. 

Love,

Transfer 7 Week 3?

Hi everyone!

I lost count how many week I have been with sister Hall in the new area because I got emergency transfer into Halls Lake YSA and still covered Edmonds at that time and we are still together. They closed down Edmonds sister area so we got to move into that apartment. For me it was like moved back to where I was before. We closed downed Halls Lake apartment last Friday so that was fun. Luckily that we cleaned it super well when we left so we didn't have to do much besides moving furniture. We got help from our housing coordinators, Zone leaders and Edmonds elders. We thought that the Zone leaders will come with a truck but they came with a mini van... so it took them 3 trips to move everything out of the apartment. Good bye Halls Lake apt where there are tons of mole in that apartment haha. 

On Saturday night, our long lost investigator texted us back and said that he wanted to come to church but he needed a ride. No problem, we can make it happen haha. We got a ride for him and it was a miracle because he was gone for like a month or so. On Sunday morning, he said that he couldn't come anymore. That was a bummer. God showed us miracles but at the same time it is their agency to choose also. He will not force anyone to do anything if they do not want to. Sometimes it is hard to admit that but I know that someday he will come and the gospel will soften his heart. 

Love you all!

The FAVORITE Sisters in the Zone.

Hi everyone!

The reason that I wrote the favorite sisters in the zone because sister Hall and I are the only sisters in the zone right now. We are surrounded by 14 elders....help help. We only have each other now so that is kinda weird. We use this phrase a lot when we ark some elders to do something for us...but seriously, we are their favorite sisters.

This week was a little slow for me and sister Hall. We did a lot of finding but nothing seemed to happen. We fasted and prayed a lot because we know that miracle will happen if we have faith. We do our best everyday and we have to rely on the Lord that he will send the elect to us. In order to make our day more meaningful, we did something during dinner time like we packed dinner to eat at the beach and bought ice-cream. We have like 4 boxes of ice-cream in the fridge right now haha. Sister Hall and I got along really well. This is actually our 3 weeks together and it has been a blast. 

elder Taggart and sister Stafford are in the East side now ;(

Transfer 7?

Hi!

I can't believe that this transfer is my 7th transfer now... ewwwwww 

Edmonds sister area for closed down so I am now in Halls Lake YSA with sister Hall. We covered two wards for two weeks so we always had back to back appointments and it was so crazy! whoo, I am glad that it is over now haha. I will miss sister Stafford for sure.

when it took our investigator forever to show up.. haha.

Emergency Transfer?

Hi everyone!

Sister Martin and I have been emergency transferred because a Sister in the mission had to go home.She went to Totem lake ward in Kirkland stake, Redmond zone and I went to stay with the Halls Lake YSA sisters, Sister Hall and Stafford. We still cover two wards which are Edmonds and Halls Lake YSA. We were so busy last week but we only have one week left until next transfer so hope everything will settle down.  Susannah shared a scripture with me and I really like it so I would like to share this with you all. 1 Nephi 20:21 And they thirsted not; he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he clave the rock also and the waters gushed out.  The Lord will always provide for us like he did in the scripture. I know that everything happened for a reason whether we want it to happen or not. But we need to trust the Lord and do our best, and he will help us.

Being in the trio is like having a party 24/7 and I love it! It was so much fun because I served around sister Hall 2 transfers already and sister Stafford is pretty cool.The cool part of Halls Lake YSA is the ward covered two stakes which are Shoreline stake and Lynnwood stake. Lynnwood stake is not in my mission so technically we work for the Everett mission... and we also have elders from Everett mission in the ward. It is so weird now that I can go out of the mission because there are so many things that I can do now. 

Space Needle!

Have a great week!

LIKIT GOT BAPTIZED

Hello!

Likit just got baptized last Friday! I was asked to speak on the topic of the Holy Ghost in Thai. It went super great and the spirit was there at the baptism. I taught him Thai for four months and a half before I came to Edmonds and he agreed to be baptized again after I left. I was so glad that he chose this way because there is no other way to go back and live with our Heavenly Father again. It is not the end when we get baptized. The scripture taught us that we still need to "press forward (and) feasting upon the word of Christ." We still need to study scripture, come to church every week and pray often so that we can continue to learn and live in the gospel. 

We went to do service at a member house on Thursday but this time the elders were in charge of the service. We asked them what pants should we wear because we didn't know what we were going to do. They told us to wear shorts since it will be a lot of digging, cutting and etc. So we did follow what they said. When we got there... they told us that we had to go into the blackberry bushes to cut down trees that were too tall for the Puget Sound view. Both me and sister Martin had a lot of scratches from the blackberry thorns (and the elders also). We learnt that when elders tell us to wear shorts, wear jeans!

zone conference!

the wilderness in the back of us was where we went to cut down trees 

missionaries love Likit and Bee! because they always feed us lunch when we go do service at their house. 

the bluest sky you've ever seen are in Seattle! 

Hope everyone has a great week!

TEMPLE DAY!

Hi everyone!

Last week was super crazy busy and this week will be the same.... I made a note of things that happen last week because I always forget to mention something that I want to include in my email so this email will be a little longer than a usual one.

We went on exchange with our sister training leader in Ravena park ward, Seattle North area. It was so much fun because I got to go back to my old area! (I served in Seattle Young Single Adult ward that covered the Ravena part area) We went to UW and took the lightrail to capital hill to do contacting. It was like a flashback to my first and second transfers. Can't believe this is my 6th transfer already. 

On Friday we had a zone meeting and they gave a training on pride and charity. The talk was "Be aware of Pride" by president Ezra. (available on LDS.org)

 He gave 3 kinds of pride

1. Man VS. Man - When we look down to people or thinking that we are better than others

2. Man Vs. God  - when we put our will against god's will

3. Man Vs. Self - when we beat ourselves up and think low about ourselves. 

The way to cure this pride is to have charity and love not just to people around us but to ourselves also.

Yesterday, we drove passed a guy that looked just like elder Galloway. Both of us had the same feeling that we should stop and talk to him. So we decided to turn around, park the car and start chasing him. He walked so fast that we had to run after him. so if you were just happen to drive pass us, there were two crazy sister missionaries chasing the guy that had no idea he was chased after. Unfortunately that he wasn't interested but on the way back we ran into our member that trying to decide if she wants to go on a mission or not. So we took her out knocking doors with us instead! If we didn't run after that guy, we would never ran into that member! Sometime we don't fully understand his plan but he has a plan for us and it works perfect if we follow him!

We got to go to the temple today and it was so beautiful! I am so grateful to have the temple in our mission!

IT HAS BEEN 8 MONTHS!

HELLO!

It has been 8 months since I came on a mission. This is so crazy. Seriously, time flew by so fast. People asked me what do I want to do after my mission.....I don't even want to think about it haha. 

We had a new missionary training last week so we went there right after the district meeting. it usually took like 10 mins from Kirkland to Bellevue.. but now I'm in Edmonds so it took 40 mins to drive there. It was a fun road trip. During the meeting, it started to rain and then it hailed for 5 mins..... then the sun came out and looked like nothing just happened. Oh Washington. I love the weather here. It rains pretty much everyday and the weather is unpredictable. it can be super sunny out side and it will rain like 5 mins after that. 

We went to do service at Westgate chapel last Thursday and the weather was super nice. Edmonds elders decided they wanted to visit someone nearby after service so they gave us their stuff to take back because we have a car but they don't. Elder Smith decided to left his rain jacket in the trunk since it was so sunny outside and you know..... two hours after, it was pouring rain and we drove to give him his jacket back. What did this story tell you? NEVER trust the weather in Washington haha. 

I forgot to mention in my last email that the day of transfer The Christensen's boys gave us ummmm I don't know how to described it but it was super cool. They asked us what color do we like and made these for us. 

There are the MTC, the plane, me and the Book of Mormon, and me and the temple. They are so adorable.

Transfer 6 in SHORELINE ZONE

Hi everyone!

Right now I'm serving in Edmonds ward in Shoreline zone. I'm second transfer training Sister Martin. There are a lot of adjusting but so far so good! They didn't have a car last transfer but we got the car this transfer. I could say that I brought the car to the area, you're welcome haha. This ward is so great. They gave me a warm-welcome last Sunday. I'm so excited to work in this ward and we have so many people that we could start working with. Sister Martin came from Texas and she went to BYUI before she came on a mission. She is pretty awesome and I'm excited to work with her.

I met 2 Thai people in the first week that I got here. We tracted into a Thai guy and he was super nice even though he wasn't interested. He even invited us to eat dinner with him haha. The other one we actually talked to her husband and he randomly mentioned that his wife came from Thailand. We got a return appointment back with them and they were so excited to have us over next week! Whoohoo!

 

Our mission want us to do role play teaching with members so that we can sharpen our ace and ready to teach when we find someone to teach. We ask the husband who is non-member if we could role play(cross fingers) teaching him and he could give us feedback and he said yes! The funny thing was his wife was converted because her friend wanted to practice teaching her. Her friend came home for surgery and it was back when they had to memorize discussion. Well, hope the lesson will go well because he is so ready!

A non-member family want to feed us Persian food on Easter so we ended up had 2 dinners on Easter. It was great but I will never do two dinners again. I was so full haha.

Have a great week!

Last Week in Kirkland:(

Hi everyone!

Last week was AWESOME! The talk from elder Rasband about recognizing the spirit stuck in my head all week. Well, on Tuesday night sister Anderson had an allergy attacked so we decided to go in for language study. On the way home, I felt like we need to stop by the potential that we have from last month and see how she is doing. When we were there, her door was wide opened so we were like "errrr should we knock or no" but we felt like we were here for a reason and we decided to knock. Christy came out and talked to us. She is in the process of moving out so we offered her service. She broke down in tears.. She just had 2 emergency surgeries and the third one is coming up. She has no one to help her and the manager decided to kick her out since she is not qualified to live in the public apartment. Sometimes we may not know why we are doing this but we need to follow the prompting of the spirit. 

We had a mini exchange again on Wednesday night but it was an overnight exchange. Sister Grow came to Lakeview and I went to Cougar mountain to stay with Sister Lumgair. It was fun! Sister Anderson didn't get to be with sister training leader the whole transfer this is why we were doing it.

We had a KZA again (Kirkland Zone Award) and I got an award for being awesome haha just kd. We all did 30 seconds videos "I am a Mormon" Sister Anderson was me and I was her in the videos.  We went to do service at Fred Meyer for Hopelink. We hand out tons of flyers about food drive. The ex-member came to talk to me. He said that "Your church tortured gay people and they teach that if you are righteous enough your skin can be white" I was cracking up. I was like "I am so sorry to hear that but I don't think what you said was right" He turned back and said "be careful, I'm dead serious." Oh my goodness, it was so funny. I can't believe he used to be a member...what church did he go to.. Anyway, that was a great time. People are so weird and I love it haha.

On Saturday night, we got a text that no area is getting whitewash this transfer. We were in bed, light were off, compliments were given and they called us. Thanks elders. I whitewashed in this area with sister Wilson and I will whitewash out of this area with sister Anderson. It was so sad leaving the ward. One of the people in ward council said that half of the ward will leave the church and start their own church. That was funny haha. Well, I'm going to Shoreline zone, back to the West side.

Me and Samrouey!

Have a great week!

Miracles in Lakeview!

Hola!

There were tons of miracles in Lakeview last week! First of all, we ran out of money... both of our money combined and we only had $12 left I know I know.. I should have known what I am doing since I'm in an accounting major. but this is not what I want everyone to focus about! Our members took us to COSTCO twice on the same week! We stopped by our member house during P-day time since she lives close by the fire station. by the way, we finally got to go on a tour at the fire station and it was awesome! Back to the story, she took us to Costco when she found out that we had nothing to eat... bless her heart. We would have to eat pasta and rice (and frozen stuff that we had) all week if she didn't take us to Costco haha. We also went to do service at a member house on Wednesday. We got to help her cleaned her kitchen and bathroom. Before we left, she needed to buy something at Costco and she took us with her! Now we have a lot of food to eat and we will probably don't have to go shopping for awhile. 

More miracles! We ran out of mile.... We only have 0.6 mile left and we still had one day left. There were a lot of unplanned trips this month ex. doctor appointments, mini exchanges etc. but we won the number one car in the zone at the zone conference which mean that 1. our car is the cleanliness car in the zone 2. we get 100 more miles to use every month. MIRACLE!

Back to spiritual stuff. General conference was awesome. Our investigator came for Sunday afternoon session and the first three speakers were meant for him to listen. Elder Costa talked about his experience taking discussion with missionaries how he need to have a desire to change. My favorite one was from elder Renlund. He talked about how Savior replace fear with love and Savior saves us  FROM our sin not IN our sin. 

Sorry, I'm running out of time again.

Have a great week!

7 months?!

Hi everyone!

This week was awesome! I just hit my 7 months mark! Trust me I am not trunky haha. (trunky means that you are excited to go home and already packed your trunk)

 I got to go to the temple with the Laotian recent convert that I have been teaching her since I came to Lakeview area. I wasn't the one who baptized her but she asked me if I could go to the temple with her for her first time. I got permission from President so I got to go with her! She had a great time there and wants to come back again. She loves the temple and loves to perform ordinance for her family. I would encourage everyone to go to the temple nearby at least once a month. There are so many great things that you can do there and it is so peaceful to be in the temple when the world is going crazy. 

I got to go on a mini exchange with my sister training leader in cougar mountain again last Wednesday. The weather was really nice outside so we tried to do "tracting for service" it went well...... she picked a really rich neighborhood that everyone has someone to come do their yard and clean their house haha. so we went to the more humble part of the area and we tracted into a member that hasn't been to church for awhile. We didn't know that she was a member until we saw a book on her table that was one of the president's teaching. It went well and she gave us cheesecake!

Women conference last week was really great! I left my note in the apartment so I don't remember anything specially to write about. I usually reread general conference before I watch it and someone quoted from President Monson said "You can't direct the wind but you can adjust the sail." I really like this quote because I obviously can't control other people's agency but I can do my best to help them come closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Love,

Transfer 5 Week 3

Hello!

This week went by faster than last week but thanks goodness that nothing crazy like last week happened. Random thing, We found a wing place, it is call Wingdome! During happy hour 2-3pm 1 pound of wings only cost $4 instead of $9.99 so Sister Anderson and I decided to make it as a tradition of this transfer so we will go get wings every Monday at 2pm! 

I found a random way to cope with stress besides eating, which is watching the washing machine runs. it was interesting haha. My companion actually took a picture of me watching the machine for like 5 mins.

We had 3 awesome object lessons that help people understand more about baptism, sacrament and blessing that they will receive when they make a covenant with God. We got to use all 3 of them with Likit and it was awesome! So when we were born we were as pure as the water but as we continue to grow we make mistakes and those are sins. So we dropped some soda into the water to make it changed color (people usually use food color but we didn't have any so we use soda instead). But when we get baptized, we are cleansed from our sins so we put bleach in the water and it made the color changed back to normal! it was a great object lesson that we got to teach Likit and the little girl in our ward who is turning eight in April. 

We got to celebrated St. Patrick's day by buying Shamrock shakes at McDonald's. I obviously do not have any Irish blood and Sister Anderson has like 1% Irish on her side haha. it was fun.

For some reason, our zone got to hang out again so we went mini golfing and got DQ after it. It was really fun. The weather is really nice and it was sunny outside when I checked it. I got so excited so I decided to put on some sunscreen. The sun decided to come out for 3 seconds Thanks Seattle. 

 

Funny stories! Yesterday we went tracting in the really nice neighborhood. Sister Anderson did her normal knock, the guy answered the door and said "come on guy, don't knock like you know me" We were like errr sorry sir. We were laughing so hard. 

We were trying to teach a guy on a door step but his dog wouldn't stop barking. When we left the apartment complex. He stuck his head out of the window and started baking at us again!


Have a great week!

The Craziest Week

Hi everyone!

How are you doing? Last week was crazy! 

Monday - We had zone sports day and we play volleyball and chair soccer. Everything went well until one of the sisters got hit by the ball on her left cheek.. it hit her pretty hard that she still has a headache. 

Tuesday - We went to do service at Bee's house with Redmond Spanish elders. I got to eat red pepper... it was a painful experience. I actually have a video of me and the other elder eating it if anyone wants to see haha. Sister Anderson got sick so we had to stay in our apartment.

Wednesday - We went on exchange with our sister training leaders. During companion study...they got a call from President Schofield. One of them got emergency transfer out to Burien so I got to drive there with them. I actually got to see my trainer, sister Olson! It was a fun experience. 

Thursday - We accidentally switched our area books so we had to meet at the mission office to switch them back.

Friday - our investigator that suppose to be baptized next week decided that he was not ready for it.. it was rough. I got a priesthood blessing for comfort. I knew that I wouldn't be able to handle this alone. I'm so grateful for the restored gospel that brought back the authority to act in God's name. On the way home, I listened to the same songs for almost 20 mins. It was "I am here" here is a link https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2015-10-0200-i-am-here-bonner-family?lang=eng

Saturday - We had a blitz in our area and volleyball in our building! 

 

Sister Christensen, the middle one, got emergency transfer out

 

we got Papa John last Saturday.... the worker looked at our tags and decided to put Jesus Christ's name for the order haha

What happened this week?

Hey everyone!

This week was crazy! We had to go to the doctor appointment in Issaquah for sister Anderson so it was like 20+ mins away. The doctor told her that she needed to buy some tennis ball or something for her back because she has muscle spasm, The way she described it just sounded super painful so yeah. My GPS took us to Big5 in Redmond and it was closed (like closed down business) so we went to the other one in Totem Lake .... and it was closed also. AHHHHHHHH We decided that we will just go to FredMeyer and pray that they will have it. And yes, they had it haha.

So Wednesday, We went to do service at Bee's house again. it was so much fun rolling stuff and making Thai dessert. At first, Kirkland Spanish sisters wanted to come with us but because Bee is in Willows ward so elders got to come with us instead... We are slowly transfer Bee and Likit back into Willows ward (the ward that they actually belong to) But we know that it won't be easy for elders to connect with Likit so we just start having them at Bee's house every week and possible in some of the lessons...but I usually teach him in Thai... so we will see how it goes.

On Friday, We supposed to have lesson with Remington but the Totem Lake sisters wanted me to go help translating stuff for Sam (the Laotian recent convert) so we had a mini exchange that I went to help Sam and the other sisters (they are in trio) went to teach Remington. Everything went well!

Anyway, I'm still survive and enjoy the mission. Hope everyone have a great week!

I don't have a lot of pictures for this week..opps!
