Quick Note

Hello family and friends!

 

I apologize in advance for the short e-mail; we're headed to the zoo today!! (With four member families in our ward) And Sister Porter has a dentist appointment in less than an hour (mine is next week). So, buckle up and here we go! What a great week it has been! We were finally able to have a church tour with Rhonda, Jeff, and Nicholas! :) One of the ward members offered to bring them a meal and we thought that was a great idea! Rhonda has been telling us that they've eaten out a lot recently because she doesn't feel like cooking. We made dinner with a member that lives down the street from them. She delivered it with us and then had to go to a meeting. We stayed and ate and talked with them. Some questions about teh Restoration came up and we again offered a church tour. They agreed and we went right then and there! (They live really close to the church so we walked) The spirit was SO strong!! I felit it the entire time. Afterwards we invited them to church. However, Rhonda had a terrible migraine so they weren't able to come yesterday :( Soon for sure though! Another member family from the ward delievered dinner to them on Friday. They Facebook stalked her on Saturday and saw a long descriptive post describing her gratefulness! :) It was so sweet to hear. At the church tour we also invited them to pray to know if the Book of Mormon is true.

 

This week we had zone meeting (it's once a month and it replaces district meeting). We also had zone and district sports (usually both once a week). Sometimes I feel like the majority of my time is spent in meetings, but they're always superb and very motivating! I got your letters!! Thank you so much!! :) Sister Porter appreciated hers too! We probably won't have time for letter writing today, so next week for sure :) Saturday we had our monthly breakfast with President Doty (the Stake President). All the missionaries from the Tualatin Stake/Zone gathered, ate, and discussed the work. It was great to be with the Stake Presidency! We talked a lot about area books and how the work is hindered when meticulous records aren't kept. We don't want anyone to fall through the cracks!

 

Well, I need to go e-mail President now. Hopefully this e-mail will satiate your craving until next week. I love everything about living this gospel! Just as the scripture says in 3 Nephi 14:20 "By their fruits ye shall know them". Tasting of the sweetness of this gospel is one way you can know that it is true. Everything good comes from God and I am surrounded by good :) I love you and am so grateful for each one of you! Keep on keeping on :)

 

Love,

 

Sister King
