hey everyone!
this last week has been fantastic!
this week was amazing we made so much progress with our on dates! we had such a powerfull church tour with jordan he just loved it! we are now trying to hand him off to the singles ward which is sad but i know it will be whats best for him in his progression in the gospel!
we aslo had two really good lessons with jeff and christine who are on date and they are awesome! they want to get baptized becasue they know that it is something that will bless their family and their lives, they are so prepiared for the gospel! the only down side is we are going to have to move their date back becasue christine works on sundays so we need to figure that out. but it will be good and everything will work out.
our other on date andrew is doing so good! his member wife is such a big help too! they came to the ward party saturday and then church on sunday and he abolustley loved it! someone in the ward even gave him a job! it was an amazing experience for him! he is even already using the " when im baptized" statements which is amazing!!!
we had a mission wide fast this week. it was really great and we saw so many miracles during the fast it was amazing! we found megan. she refered herself on mormon.org but said we shouldnt stop by cause of her parents, so we had been trying to time the stop by perfectly because it was a one time thing if her parents answered the door, but we were out tracting wednesday before our fast was over and i felt a propting to stop by. so i figured we had better go so we ran to the car and drove there and knocked on her door. and it just so happeded that her mom was in california and her dad was at work!! we finally go to talk to her and we had such a powerfull lesson with her at the door it was amazing! i know that when lead by the spirit all things are possible :)

Issaquah 1st / Tiger Mtn Transfer 2 week 2
ni how!
that is hello in chinease but i probably totally messed up the spelling! my chinease is coming along pretty good now! never thought i would learn chinease on an english mission but we are teaching a buch of people from china so its awesome!
this last week has been awesome! i love serving with elder gardner. he is a real good missionary. but this last week we have seen so many miracles, but we now have five people on date for baptism!!!! this week we put jeff and christine ( i think i told you about them last week), jordan, andrew, and ray on date! jordan is a kid we tracted into a few weeks ago but finally tought him this week and he loved it. we are going to take him on a church tour today which will be great! andrew is a husband in a partmember family we found, we tracted into them and finally got them on a church tour! it was amazing the spirit was so strong and his wife was really pushing batism too! which made our jobs easier:) but im so excited for them they are awesome! and ray is an eternal investigator, his three year mark is in november but he finaly decided to get baptized on august 27th!! it truely was a miricle that he finally decided to pick a date! the ward is so excited for it. its going to be amazing.
so something pretty neat happened last night too. elder gardner and i were walking into an appartment complex to go visit some potential investigators and when some one hollered out there window and asked if we were the missionaires! so we said yes and then he told us to come around to his door. it turned out to be a couple we had tought a few months back. he told us that he was talking his daughter to the hospital becaue she hurt her leg really bad. and he asked us if we could pray with her before they went. so we asked if we could give her a blessing and they said yes. so we gave this little girl a blessing in the back o f their car in the middle of the perking lot. it was a really cool experince. it made me realize the importance of always being worth because you never know when you need to excercise the priesthood!
i hope you all have a great week
love you

Isaquah 1st / Tiger Mtn Trnasfer 2 Week 1
hey everyone!
this last week has been amazing! we have seen so many miracles! its been a bit stressfull with transfers but awesome!
im now serving with elder gardner he has only been out 6 weeks! so its going to be awesome! i get to follow up train him and im so excited he is still so excited and just ready to work so its going to be great!
i also got a call from the ap's this morning and im now a district leader too! so im so excited for the chance to serve in this position.
this last week was great though. we put jordan, jeff and christine on date for august 16th last night! it was a great night!
jordan is in his 20s and is a student who has been searching for this for a long time. we had such a good lesson with him and he seems excited to learn and hear more of the gospel. i know he will go so far.
we also put jeff and christine ondate for the same day! they are a young married couple and are just awesome! they ove knowing the fact that their families can be together forever!
we are also teaching a lady from china too! her daughter converted a few years ago and so her mom is here visiting for 6 months and wants to lear about the church! but since all she speaks is chinease we have the wans another family in the ward who speaks chinease come and translate for us. it is pretty crazy but fun. its alot different teaching her because she has no clue about god or anything. it makes me great full for the opportunity i was givin to grow up in a family and country that can freely worship.
im excited for this up coming week its going to be awesome!
love you

Issaquah 1st / Tiger Mountain Week 6
hey everyone!
this last week has been so good! last night the 4th was awesome and crazy. but besides that things here have been just the same old, like getting chased by a dog, meeting jesus christ( or someone who thought he was the second coming of jesus christ) and just the same old. its been good!
the fouth was way fun here. our ward had a giant bbq at a members house so we went and go to spend time with the ward which was awesome! then we went tracting after that and people werent to happy to see us on the holiday! we got yelled at alot and some guy threatened to let his dogs out on us. they were big dogs. but it was a fun night though!
this last week we started teaching a spanish family. who are awesome. we were on our way to an appointment with our recent convert natalie and the family walked by us in the appartment complex so we talked to them in what little english they had. our fellowship for natalie also spoke spanish from his mission so right after natalies lesson we ran over there with him and tought them! it was so neat. teaching them is crazy beasue everything has to be translated! but its sad they have a 4 year old who has a heart condidion and her heart is on the wrong side of her chest so she isnt suppsed to live much longer. it is so sad. things like this make me so greatfull for the plan of salvation and the knowledge we have from it.
transfers are also next week so im excited to see whats going to happen.
love you all
