Issaquah 1st / Tiger Mtn Transfer 3 Week 1

greetings from the great state of washington!!

so this last week was weird but good! a lot of unexpected things happened but it was amazing and im so excited for all of the changes.

so im staying in issaquah for another transfer! i think im going to be here for a while now but i love it! i also got a new comp sort of. im back with elder aiken my comp from a transfer ago! its crazy but we are actually serving as zone leaders together now!! thats kind of the reason why this week was so crazy. last night i got a call from president larkin and i was caled as a zone leader!

im so excited for it i love my zone and im excited to serve in this position! its crazy though cause i have already spent 3 months with elder aiken and now we are back together again. im exicted for it, we are going to have an awesome time here!

this last week e gardner and i tought more lessons than i ever had before! we tought 22 lessons this week it was a good week! we had a really neat experince too . sunday night it was 8 45 and we needed one more lesson to get there. so we parked on the side of the road and said a quick prayer and said "heavenly father, give us one more lesson, amen" then we ran out of the car. we chased the frist guy we saw down and asked if we could share a message with him. he accepted!! we tought him a lesson and he even said the closing prayer in romanian! it was awesome! it truely was a miracle ans a blessing from our heavenly father. it was really neat to see the instant answer to prayer. that probably made our week.

oh also elder L Tom Perry of the quorm of the 12 came to our mission this last friday! we all got to meet with him and he spoke to the mission! it was such a great opportunity to hear from an apostle of the lord. he spoke alot on the priesthood and how we need more priesthood to support the church because of its growth. it was so neat to hear from him. but thats about all that has been happening here.

i hope everything goes great there
love you
elder berry
