Hello!

thank you for all the pictures!

Mom, I am soooo glad you had a good time. Never been to seattle, but that is on the places I want to visit. Including my mission. There is so many places I would really like to explore when I come back. Just like what Gavin said "we need to invest in this trip" :)

Dad, good luck on your job! I will be praying for you today! That is awesome that you enjoyed the seattle trip. Getting away really helps.

Gavin, that spider is terrifying!

Also an elder Jason Gordon is now in Tempe mission. That is my comps cousin! look out for him!!

So, this week was a little slow. We had a lot of appointments cancel, and some of these were just driving around trying to find former investigators. It is crazy how fast miles are wasted with trying to find new people to teach. Which is why members are so important!

Nothing too exciting about the work, but the person sister Jurgens is now on her way to getting active again. Its so exciting of what the gospel can do for people. She has come regularly In the past couple of months and now all she needs to do is to come to all 3 hours! She is so excited about all of this happening. She just wants to know more about everything, and is even starting to ask questions about the temple! Super happy for her.

We are working a lot with our members to try and be missionary minded. Every single dinner we go to, we leave a challenge to give something to a friend. And then we follow up when we are at church with them. These people need someone who is bold, especially when we have a member who refuses to do missionary work. Ugh! I am still working on my boldness. But the challenge with the youth is going well. we are winning! But its also a bad thing at the same time, because we want them to win. Its a work in progress.

By the way. Can you guys provide me with some family history stories? can can be church related, if not then a regular story would suffice. We talked a lot about family history in zone meeting last week. Just wondering.

So, yesterday was an alright day. The big super bowl rematch was yesterday. The Colorado Broncos against the Seattle Seahawks. NOBODY would open their door to us. It was so crazy. These people are soooooooo football crazy, its nuts! we saw this one house that had a bouncy house in the back yard, and a inflatable football guy in the front yard. People here are crazy.

That's pretty much it for the week!!

Love you!

Sister Rook

went to the temple this week, and our member Sister Hollands took us. She's super awesome :)
