Hey y'all! Another week has come and gone and man was it a cold one! Winter is already coming and the rain is just only starting! (Woot woot!) This week was pretty great so here it is:
Monday: We had an exchange with the sisters down in South Whidbey and so Sis Tauki'uvea came with me to Anacortes. She is so awesome! She's Tongan so that's super neat! We went and visited our recent concert Mary and her husband and we talked about temples. It was such an awesome lesson! We sang I Love To See The Temple with them and the spirit was so strong! I love the temple so much!
Tuesday: Such an amazing day! We got to teach our friend Jason more about baptism and he said he was going to try and make it to church on Sunday! (Yeet!) Sis T was amazing! We talked to so many people that night and were able to testify of the gospel! It was just amazing! We exchanged back later that night.
Wednesday: We had an awesome district council and talked about rising to our call based on President Eyring's talk from October 2002. We spent all that night out in La Connor which was fun! We visited some referrals and then finished off with a sweet member. We talked a lot about ministering with her and she said something that I just love. She said "ministering isn't just doing, it's involving." I just love that because it's so true! When we minister we should be trying to involve others in what we do.
Thursday: Kind of rough. We weren't able to meet with our friend Jason so that was sad. We had a lesson with a family who's son is baptized and now the little sister wants to be baptized and that went kind of awful. They wouldn't really sit still until we played a video. So that was hard but we are figuring out the best way to teach them! We had an lesson about the Atonement with some members that night though! Man, it was so awesome! I just love the Atonement and how it can help us everyday of out lives.
Friday: AMAZING!! We had Zone Conference and it was just so amazing and the spirit was so strong the whole time! I didn't want to leave the church building after haha! We talked a lot about committing to God and really thinking about the covenants we made at baptism and in the temple. NEVER TAKE THOSE LIGHTLY!! It is such a blessing to each of us to be able to make those sacred covenants with our Heavenly Father and they are sacred. Always cherish those and live worthily to receive the blessings that come with them.

Saturday: Lots of weekly planning honestly. We had dinner at the Oczkewiez house that night. Sis O is the Relief Society president in the Mt. Erie ward and she's amazing! When we shared a message with them I struggled but luckily Sis Cluff saved me. #blessings. But then we had an awesome lesson with Pam and I did better haha! Ya live and ya learn.
Sunday: JASON CAME TO CHURCH!! That was so amazing! He said he really enjoyed sacrament and said he'll try and stay both hours next Sunday so yeet! We also got to watch the Face to Face with Elder Soares and Elder Christensen. That was super awesome! So many good things in there! I totally recommend watching it!
Well that was the week! A scripture that I absolutely love is Alma 26:27. That whole chapter is awesome actually but it says:
"Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord confronted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success."
When I read this my mind goes to when I swam. At the very end of the race when I felt so tired that is when I had to push the hardest and drive straight through that wall. That is the same in our lives today. When we feel like giving up, that is when the Savior is going to bless us. We just have to push a little further. So keep pushing and keep trying I know we all can do this! Love and miss you all!
Kia Kaha,
Sister Twede
