Issaquah 1st / Tiger Mtn Transfer 3 Week 2

hola!!

so things here have been amazing here this last week! we recieved so many blessings and witnessed so many miracles in our area and all over the zone too! it turely has been an amazing week

the work in our area has been amazing we put three people on date for baptism this last week! we put skylar on date for sept 24th. she is from an inactive partmember family. she is 15 and absolutely ready for the gospel. skylar and her grandma came to church this sunday and it was amazing! they loved it. im so excited for them. we also have carla and angel on date for the 24th too. carla is angels mom and angel is 8 years old. they are a great little family but we have to get carla married to her boyfriend she lives with first so there may be some complications there. but i know all will be well.

this last weekend ray k. was baptized and it was amazing! he truely loved it and so did the ward! after almost three years his journey of searching is finally over and he has taken the steps toward returning to his heavely father! i had the wonderfull opportunity to confirm him and i loved that opportunity to bestow upon him one of the greatest gifts from our heavenly father. also this sunday andrew h. one of our recent converts recieved the priesthood! i was so happy to be able to take part in his progression in the gospel and in the preisthood! it truely was an amazing week i was able to withness so many mighty changes in peoples lives.

i ablsolutely love my mission and the miracles i have been able to witness!

being a zone leader has also added on the the crazieness of the week. i have never spent so much time on the phone before! we are constantly calling everyone in the zone and then we have to get numbers and then report those to the assistants its a pretty busy job! but i love it i love being able to work so closely with so many missionaries in the zone!

we have a big transfer ahead of us though. we have about the lowest baptizing zone in the mission but we have to turn it in to the highest batizing zone in the mission. we are well on our way to doing this the lord has poured out his blessings on this zone this last few weeks. but it is our job to keep the missionaries motivated and know that they can continue to see miracles and baptize. im so ecxited i get to serve here in this calling at this time in the mission!

i hope everyone has a great week and fun back at school
love you all
