Hello Family and friends F!!!!!
So the Fiji word of the week is stars which sounds like
color color, but instead of the last 2 letters or you say Oh. so col-oh col-oh!
So Last Tuesday was one of my favorite days this week! We
were able to go on exchanges with our STLs Sister Krebs and sister Shear. Well
so I got to spend the day in Lacey 3rd and with Sister Krebs it was amazing. I
was able to also see Sister Jensen again and she was so excited to be able to
see me and gave me a nice big hug that felt so good! So Guess what?!?!?! They
had planned for all of us to eat dinner at Rose and David Churmans (they are
now married and not living together outside of marriage...) and then after
Sister Soko and Sister Shear left, Sister Krebs and I taught Rose about the
priesthood power. We first started talking about faith, ( and how we already
know what great faith she has) and then repentance and it was nice to have her
husband (who is a member) teach her as well A.
Finally we went to Baptism and how important it is and she
again brought up how happy she was to be able to get baptized last July
and she showed us the video of it and how it was by immersion. We then had to
just rely on the spirit at this point and I asked if she knew why it was so
important for Jesus to be baptized by the John the baptized? and Rose asked why
and I said because he was the only one that had that Authority from God to
Baptize him. Then we talked to her about how she had a priesthood blessing by her
now husband..... then she just asked something like "well wouldn't it be
bad if I am baptized twice by immersion?) and so her Husband said that it
wouldn't be because in order to make it valid we need that proper
authority..I... So then I explained to her that Heavenly Father was so proud of
you for coming closer to him to the best of her knowledge. Just
how When a little child learns there ABCs and as a parent you are so
proud. But you wouldn't be so proud when they are 30 and have learned more but
are still saying the ABCS. So Rose now that you have learned more about the
priesthood and that it is necessary for you to act on it! So with the
spirit extremely strong and with tears in my eyes I said "Rose with the
Proper Priesthood authority from God, Will you be baptized on Feb 14th?"
and before I could even finish She said yes really quick and Brother Churman
just was so shocked and over joyed then we all were crying and it was beautiful
T.
So we were able to also teach Steven the Resto. on Thursday
and we put him on date for the 20th( for baptism) and we might have to push it
back because he didn't come to church yesterday because of the dumb super
bowl..... Also we couldn't H go knocking our 5 to 7s because of it so as a zone
we had a party! We ate and also read the amazing missionary chapter of Alma 26.
Well I love you all and hope everyone is doing Great!!!

Sister Soko and I at Capital lake on a beautiful day!!!
From Tricia: Anna Pierson - a sister that used to live in Lehi after we moved here - lives with her family in Olympia, WA now. Sierra and Camille were good friends. Her husband was also our Bishop. She was so sweet to take Camille out to lunch on Monday. Anna wrote: "I had
lunch with these lovely young women today. The one on the right is one of
Sierra's childhood friends from Utah who is now serving as an LDS missionary in
the Olympia area. It was so fun to see her and get reacquainted and to meet her
awesome companion. They are both such poised, happy young women. ❤️"
"She really seems to be happy. Her companion was singing her praises. She sounds like the rising star of the mission. they are both adorable. Camille shared a message with me about sharing the light of Christ. She told me to tell you hello, and she loves you. I gave her several mom hugs for you."
"It was so fun! Hopefully,
we'll be able to do it again soon. Camille is an awesome missionary and seems
genuinely happy (although she clearly misses you all!) Her companion talked
about how strong she is--especially for being so new. We joked together about
how the sun in the picture looks like heaven is smiling on us. It is also photo
documentation of the rare brilliantly sunny February day in Western Washington.
A welcome reprieve from the clouds and rain. They were off to play ultimate
frisbee with the zone after lunch. :)"
