The missionaries in the Tacoma area were invited to the mission home to carve pumpkins and to meet the mission president's children and grandchildren who were visiting.

October 2013. Transfer date. We're staying together! Things are going so good. I'm working so hard. They've set the goal mission wide to teach 20 lessons a week, so we've set our companionship goal at 40 a week and make it almost every week. 10/22/2013

Zion's Camp Activity

The missionaries got to take a day in their service clothes to test themselves physically, learn to rely on each other and the Lord, and enjoy lessons for life and the mission at this beautiful retreat.

Pictures from Letter 10/8/2013

Me and the other sisters in my district/zone on a p-day. In case you forget what I look like, I am the one wearing the iron man glasses

As per usual, I have befriended all of the UPS workers in the greater Tacoma area. This is an average day with ups Ryan.

This is when our ward had a Luau. Me and my companion, accompanied by 3 primary children and a less active we've been working with in the back right.

This is a Sister Baca, a 4-foot tall Korean woman in our ward who we adore. She's a convert of like 9 years, and just went to the temple for the first time a few weeks ago. She has us over for dinner a lot, and calls us to come pick up containers of rice and kimchi even more often. One time when we were at her house we were taking pictures of our eyeballs up close (it was the elders idea, I promise) and she wanted to try but every time the flash went off she blinked so we have about a kadrillion pictures of her eyes closed and this is the most open eye picture we got. She is the cutest human being to walk the earth. When I grow up I want to be her.

I've been in the WA-TAC 19 weeks, and the church is true here too!

And dang, wasn't conference good? I shoulda brought my notes so I could type up my favorite things. There's always next week.
