Hello hello beautiful people! What a crazy good week! Like I said crazy but FULL of miracles!  Our mission president has put a huge emphasis on using different ways to find. He has given us 13 different finding lines and has challenged a few different companionships in leadership to get all 13 in for 13 days! With social media, filming and a crazy busy area, sister Higgins and I were overwhelmed! The stress kept piling up with different tasks being thrown our way.  One day the stress hit us hard. While planning out the rest of the week and our travel trip to Corvallis nothing was lining up. We were honestly a bit frustrated and confused. Later that night we had a lesson with our friend Amy. Teaching is one of my favorite things to do! Usually I feel prepared and excited. That day we both felt like we weren't going to be able to teach Amy as well as we should.

9 months!!? Can you believe it? I honestly can't! It feels like just a couple weeks ago I just gotten settled into Coos Bay! I've learned a lot in these last 9 months, more than I could have ever hoped. I seriously love being a missionary! Nothing else in the world has brought me more joy than serving others! I gotta go but here is a little update!  We got transfer news last week and I'm staying here in Santa Clara with Sister Higgins again!! Ahhh! We are so excited! We LOVE this ward and this area!  Jeff was baptized last Saturday!! We have seen so many miracles working with him this last transfer! 32 years of smoking put down, Jeff's sister is now taking the lessons in Roseburg because of him, we are now teaching Jeff's mother in law, Kalena, and his next door neighbor, Kenneth! A domino effect is happening right before our eyes! Jeff set his heart and mind on Jesus Christ and let God prevail. At times I wasn't sure he'd be able to do it. My faith and test...
