4th of July Fireworks with the Roberts Dear Family and Friends,   This week was pretty busy. We started off the week at MLC (Missionary leader council.) President Orton spoke about the call for leadership. That he has alot of trust in us and that the culture of the mission truly depends on the leaders. But that that doesn't mean other missionaries are any less. There is no ladder of leadership in the church. We don't move up or down, we only move around. The Lord truly calls us where we need to serve.  President Lowary gave a great segment on ministering. What is the process of ministering? We don't have any set guide line on how that looks but I believe that its about time. Taking the time to get to know each other. Knowing a person's talents, hobbies, passions, things they have learned, success and failures. And then to see what need you can help with. Presidnt Lowary gave an acronym B.C.T.O (Behave Christlike Towards others) Behave is what we should be d...

Dear family and Friends,  This week was a good week. We did alot of work and I have learned so much.  On Tuesday we had exchanges with the Coos Bay sisters. Sister Neely and I were companions and we went into her area. I really enjoyed doing companionship study with her as we studied the new updates made to Preach my Gospel. So if you haven't seen them yet go check it out! I am so excited about the new changes happening. It truly is spirit led. Sister Neely and I picked it apart and read alot of the new information. I loved her excitement and love for the gospel. She has really helped me as we have been studying how to become a consecrated missionary together. We then went to a lesson with one of her RC who is 11 years old. The sisters made an uno game and when we drew the draw 2 card we were asked a gospel question and if we got it right we didn't have to draw two. Their RC loved the game! Man those sisters are so creative! We had Sister Gillis come with us to the ...

Made it to Coos Bay! Family!  This week has been up been down and stretching me in new ways.  On Monday night we Sister Franco threw a goodbye party for me. We had Nick and Aredelia and her sister there. Sister Franco surprised me with marshmallows and rice krispie treats to make. Haha how did she know I love those? ;) thanks mom!  On Tuesdays we had transfers Sister Sharp came and said goodbye too. Grants Pass has been really hard for me to leave. The people there have done so much for me and they are family. It was hard for me to leave Sister Bodtcher I don't think she will ever know just how much she helped me grow. She is one of my best friends and I know she will always be.  The ride to Coos Bay was long and hot as the A.C. in the car didn't work. But by the time we entered into North Bend the weather was nice and cool. I have no clue how I pulled that off to be on the coast in the summer but it's a blessing! It's absolutely beautiful here! We ar...
