A little late because of the temple...

Hey folks!!

sorry it's going to be a short one, with it being a crazy week, ending with a wonderful temple trip, there is little time to write.  first off I guess I should say i'm crying.  Crying of joy because my biggest sis is having an adorable baby girl.  I bet everyone in this little library is confused as can be at this girl who can both smile from ear to ear and have water works at the same time. CONGRATS!!!! a million times over!!!  And I just came from the beautiful Seattle temple.  It was perfect, and put my spirits in the highest of places since being on the mission.  Temples are incredible, Every time I go in it's like spending time directly with my Father in Heaven.  He always confirms that he loves me so much.  And I must say the surprise was awesome, I am a huge fan and didn't see that coming!  Emotion is good.  and Just a funny though on the side. Seattle looks like the Garden of Eden and The lone and dreary world looks like home... Utah...hahaha  

So on Wednesday we had a lesson with Bin Bin, (a potential investigator that came to berry picking, mom to answer your question it was the relief society activity that went berry picking, besides two potentials, quite the success I must say! I loved your story.  it is worth the labor! kind of like a mission! if I didn't have need of this skirt for the next 16 months I might have filled it too:) )  we discussed with her that there is a God, he's a loving heavenly father, and what role he plays in our life's.  I must say it's one of the hardest things for me to do... explain God.  IT's so obvious to me, i've always just known.  So what other way can you do it by testifying with family, especially birth, as evidence that there is a God.   And HE DOES LOVE US.  and is with us EVERY STEP of the way.  It was perfect because we had the lesson with a member family, and the adorable little six year old bore her testimony on who Heavenly father was to her.  I understand why we're so young out here.  The younger you are, the more simple the testimony, the more of an impact it can have on someone.  Children bring the spirit in point two seconds.  I was blown away by something so sweet.   We also met two potentials this week who both said they were looking to come closer to Christ.  um hello you definitely don't need to ask twice, we are here signed, sealed delivered, yours!   I had the opportunity to also go on exchanges with the hermana's, one day surrounded by Spanish, it was a big day!  I loved it! but man I do not know the beautiful language... luckily one of the men we taught was learning English so he totally understood that I knew nothing.  We just smiled back and forth at each other and giggled.  I'm going with them again this week for half a day (YAHHOO!) 

I'll have to write more next week i'm out of time.  The temple was worth it though, and will be for the eternities:)  even if It takes up emailing time with my family....  boooo. Pictures to come, you know they say a 1000 words. consider this a long email.

So the one with the balloon. I went outside and found my name with it.... You have no idea how excited I was... I legit thought it was for me... oh and that's my companion in the back:)
