It's Monday again so here's your girl coming to you from the good old Everett Washington! I hope you all had a great week! Here's what happened in this neck of the woods:
Monday: We had fun time hanging out with our zone for the last time before everyone got transferred. It's always sad when you make friends and then BOOM they get transferred. Anyway, after that, we didn't have FHE because all the YSA wards got invited to help clean the temple so we had two lessons instead! One was with one of our recent converts, Carlos. We had been trying to have a lesson with him for a while so we were super happy to finally get one in. We talked about the blessings we are able to receive when we follow the commandments and how they really do help us be happier in the long run.
Tuesday: Service at the horse farm again! We helped stack hay so you already know there were a bunch of stupid puns being said the whole time! We then had a lesson with another recent convert, Lucas, later that day and then a lesson with our friend David that night. We had an awesome lesson with David! He asked a lot of questions about what he's been reading in the Book of Mormon and then we talked about the importance of going to church, praying, and reading the scriptures (aka spiritual CPR). He's progressing slowly but that all good because he's still progressing!

Wednesday: Transfers where in the morning but because neither of us were getting transferred we had a find something else to fill our morning. So we went over and helped one of our ward members, Staci, and her mom clean for a bit and not get robbed. Haha, welcome to Everett! Anyway the rest of the day was pretty chill, we had a couple lessons and then tried to visit some people later. Nothing else too exciting.
Thursday: We helped out at the food bank in the morning. We got to see some of the new people in our zone! We have another Sister Ballard so that's a little confusing at times but, it's fine. It just makes me grateful for my last name and the fact that no one else in the mission has it! Anyway, the new Sister Ballard and I figured out that she was MTC companions with Violet Williams! I've know Violet for years thanks to piano lessons! So, that was pretty awesome! The rest of the day we had studies and trying to find more people to teach.
Friday: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! We had district council and guess what y'all?! Sister VanDenakker is in my district and is my new STL! I was super happy to see her and I'm pumped we are close to each other again! So district council was great and the rest of the day was chill. We had two really good lessons with Staci and Abel that night.

Sunday: Such a good day! David came to church and, man, everything was just so good for him to hear! We missed talking to him after church but hopefully we will get to talk to him more about it on Tuesday.
Well, that was pretty much the week! Something I've been thinking a lot about is the Atonement and how it can help me in my life. As a mission, we are reading the Book of Mormon together before next general conference. As I've been reading, I've realized that all of the stories are about people who change through Christ. As they come to know of their Savior, they have a desire in their heart to change. I loved this because it's proof to me that anyone can change. I love reading about Alma and the sons of Mosiah and how they helped some of the worst people change and want to become like their Savior.
Kia Kaha
