Hello Everyone!
Espero que todos hayan tenido una buena semana!
This week was great! I got moved up here to Cashmere with my new Trainee Elder Petrich! He’s from Provo, Utah. Oh, and funny story, our car broke down on the way from Yakima to Quincy in the middle of nowhere on the highway, so President had to come pick us up and drive us the rest of the way hahaha. And my Trainer Elder Priday, is headed down to Yakima to be with my Trainee Elder Andersen, which is super funny. He gets to spend time with grandpa.
First thing I got to do when I arrived here was amazing! You’ll never guess what we got to do! It was…Clean the apartment. Yes. It was disgusting per usual. Rotten food filled all of the cabinets in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom and living room all in terrible shape. We spent the rest of the day getting things in shape so that we could focus more on the work the coming week.
We were able to meet with about 5 or 6 members and their families, and have found many great opportunities for service here. There isn’t much spanish, so I am trying to speak and use it a lot more even when there is no one to talk to or no one that can understand me. There is so much work to be done here. We have a guy on date for baptism that we need to get ready, and we are constantly finding new people to teach every day. The work is super hard, but super rewarding. I’m on an awesome spiritual high right now and it feels like nothing can stop us. Obedience works, who would have thought.
On top of all the awesome work, we are living in quite the magical place. We’re basically up the canyon away from all the craziness of Wenatchee, there’s lots of trees, and we have the beautiful mountain range separating us from Seattle right out our window. Were also right next to the Wenatchee River. It’s quite a change of pace here from Yakima, thats for sure.
I hope that you all remember that God is willing and ready to help you and give you strength whenever you need it, especially when you are obedient. I watched every prayer of mine recieve an answer this week. Not always in the way that I expected, but I saw those answers, and divine helps from God. I hope that this week you can all notice the little miracles that are ever present throughout your days, and be more thankful for what you have, and I promise if you do so, God will bless you with more.
I love you all so much, and I hope you all have an incredible week! I miss you all, MAKE SURE TO SEND SOME EMAILS!! I’ll read them all!
