October 17, 2022

Hello friends and family!

This last week has been super great! Elder Dell’ergo and I have been blessed to see lots of success in our area lately. We both hope we can stay next transfer, but the odds of that happening are very slim. Whatever happens one of us will most likely stay, so that will be good!

Last Monday we had a zone nerf gun fight between the Yakima zone and the Selah zone. That was super fun. Also District Council that evening was a blast per usual. Our district has 6 companionships, so it's fairly decent sized. Elder Dell’ergo is our district leader and he really does a great job with our trainings. Elder Wardell and I love to tell him that he's our favorite district leader (we're both in our second transfer and have only had him for a district leader, haha). 

Tuesday was a super busy day and we were able to teach quite a few lessons. At one of our lessons with these kids that we've been teaching for a while now we found out that their cousin is a member and that we know him! He's in the YSA ward that we also work with. Now that we know he's their cousin we are going to start bringing him to their lessons!

Wednesday and Thursday were both a little slower, but still really good days. Our member dinner Wednesday night was with some of our favorite members, and they made us some amazing food! Thursday we had interviews with President Welch, which are always fun, and then for lunch we went out with the YSA Branch President and his wife. 

Friday we were able to start teaching this lady who we used to teach! She had been MIA for almost a month and then the other day we drove past her in the car. She honked at us and we waved back. Elder Dell decided to call her right after and she said we could come by that night and that she was ready to meet with us again! 

On Saturday Elder Dell and I went on an exchange with the AP’s because they are in our district and like I said, Elder Dell is the district leader. Both of our AP’s are named Elder Hansen, which is pretty cool,  so Elder Dell and I both went with Elder Hansen, haha. The exchange was super great and I learned lots during it. We had to do a little driving so while we were in the car we were jamming out to the 2023 youth theme album,I Can Do All Things ThroughChrist’. In our mission we can only listen to hymns, covers of hymns, and the youth albums that the church makes. Because of that this new album is very exciting news because it means we have new music to listen to, haha. 

Sunday was amazing per usual. The family ward Elder Dell and I are in took a little bit of time to warm up to us, but now they really love us! I am definitely going to miss this ward when I leave. At our YSA church meeting all of the men sang "Ye Elders of Israel". The women had sung two weeks ago so it was only fair that we sing as well. 

Overall the week was amazing and I saw God's hand in my life many times! I saw a lot of growth in myself and also in those that I am teaching! The gospel truly can change people's lives if they will let it! 

Have a wonderful week everyone!!
