The Eclipse- August 21, 2017

Family and friends!  Well it's been a pretty fun week! Last P day we went to New Port. We went to the beach and played soccer, football, and spike ball. Afterwards we went to Hatfield Science center. Where we pet a sea cucumber and starfish. It was pretty fun.  The rest of the week has been good as well. We have had some great conversations and have found a few new investigators that I am so excited to go back and teach. This week we went to contact Tisha a past investigator but she wasn't home. I felt prompted to leave a note. So we wrote "you are so amazing and remember you are a daughter of God"  We stopped by the next day and she had got the note. She knew it was from us even though we didn't leave our name. She was in so much gratitude and told us we made her day. Then she broke down in tears explaining that she had had a really hard week and 2 people in her family passed away. When she got our note it really comforted her. While we were at her h...

Sorry I didn't write you yesterday it was zone conference and we are going to New Port today for Pday and won't have wifi. I will try and write more.

She was a sweet old lady.  Family and friends!  This week has been pretty good. We went on companion exchanges with the sisters and sister Hong and taught their investigator Chelsie. She spoke pretty good English but I was confused as some things were said in Chinese also. Haha. We asked Chelsie about being baptized and she wasn't sure but follow up she went to their Chinese activity on Saturday where president Orton spoke and then church on Sunday and wants to be baptized!  As for our area we keep knocking on lots of doo...

We went and got smoothies because it was so Hot  Dear Family and Friends,  This week was a Hot week we got to 109° felt like home again. On Monday we had a lesson with Ovid and he had some great questions about the gospel. We are actually meeting with him soon as it is his only time he can meet so P day may be a little short.  We also had a church tour with Jessica this week to help her feel more comfortable about coming to church. It was so great as we had a young member family join us. We talked to her about Baptism and although she is not sure about the timing right now she says she can see herself being baptized in the future. She wasn't able to come to church this week due to family but we hope this Sunday she will be able to come.  we have a lesson coming up to talk about the plan of salvation. She has read the pamphlet and marked it up!  On Tuesday we took the Chinese Sisters to their training meeting in Eugene. So Sister Datwyler and I spe...
