Bomb cyclone?🌀 🌊 (week 67)

 HEYY!! We had a pretty eventful week. I love being a missionary, and I love my companions so much. We've laughed wayy too hard this week☺️


Here are some updates!!

- we had THE CRAZIEST windstorm yesterday. We've had no power and no service for the last little bit. I hope I can find somewhere with service to get this email sent out today haha. But lots of places are shut down, there was like no food at the store today, and trees are everywhere. It was kinda scary last night because it was SO dark and we just kept hearing sirens. We're all good but its been an adventure for sure. Someone told us this morning that it was bomb cyclone? ðŸĪ·‍♀️🌊

- ALSO on sunday the power went out at one of our church buildings but it was the primary program so they couldn't cancel it. They postponed it and totally made it work. All the kids held an electric candle so that we could see their faces, the isles were lit with electric candles, they used a little karaoke mic and there was a massive camping light someone brought that did a pretty good job at lighting the front. We had a linger longer after which was cold soup and salad ðŸĪŠ it turned out great and the power came back on right as we were cleaning up haha

- finally got in contact with one of our friends!! She lives on a boat whaaat. We had an AWESOME lesson with her, she's had a hard life and genuinely wants to find more joy. Pray for Miriah please!!

- SPACE NEEDLE ðŸšĻðŸšĻ

- saw some pretty views of the city this week ðŸ˜

- Elder Guardado wrote up on the board "relife sisitey event". Relief society is a hard one to spell hahaha we were dying 

- its getting COLD ðŸĨķ

- we're having a hard time finding people that are willing to keep commitments, so when we find one it's the biggest miracle! ✨️ saw some of those this week

- had the most awkward lesson of my life ðŸŦ  it ended up being fine just soooo awkward

🌟🌟🌟

I've been studying a lot about charity this week!! I have had so many experiences on my mission that have taught me about charity and love. I'm forever grateful for those ðŸĐ· my fav verses about charity in the book of mormon are Moroni 7:45-48, go give it a read

"Charity never faileth"☺️ðŸŦķ 


I LOVE YOU ALLL!!! Talk to ya next week :))

  Hiii everyone !! This was a super crazy week.... we had transfers and I got transferred out of mount vernon:( I was so sad to leave because I had only been there for 6 weeks but I had a really cool experience that testified to me that I did what the Lord needed me to do there. I'm so grateful for my time there and all the amazing people I met Nowwww I'm in ANACORTES !!!! YOU GUYS it is the most beautiful place... holy. The pictures dont do it justice. Come visit and see for yourself, you wont regret it. I live about 3 minutes from the ferry terminal and am over all the san juan island branches as well!! We have an apartment on the islands so we get to go out and stay a couple days there at a time. I feel so grateful to be serving the Lord here. My comp is Sister Boris and she is awesome. Shes from Texas and a triplet!! We are whitewashing again which is exciting but also stressful. Definitely takes a lot of time to adjust and meet everyone but its getting better!! HIGHLIGHTS ...
