So this week was way fun. I cannot believe how fast this is going. We started off the week at Presidents house for a sisters conference "Slumber Party" Which you can see pictures of here at our new blog! http://oregoneugenemission.blogspot.com  It was so nice to spend time with President and Sister Young With all the sisters. It was truly a blessing.

 

When we came back Tuesday we went straight back to work. We Are Preparing Dakota, Mollie and Hailey for their Baptism This Friday  night. The week of Baptisms are always crazy, But these poor kids have the adversary working on them hard. It is amazing what prayer does and how strong the kids are. They were scheduled to be baptized Saturday but they were so excited we moved it up a day. It is so much fun working with young children. I love how they just absorb what we are teaching them.

 

We met one of our new investigators this past week. His name is Ahmed. We had prayed the night before on where we should tract and after a few set backs and my companion saying "There has got to be a reason we are being Delayed!!" We set out for our street. We prayed and got out of the car, I Saw him on the porch and said lets go talk to him, Sister Cluff was a little Apprehensive because it looked like we were targetting him. My response was "We are targeting him" So we went, I introduced myself and as sister Cluff started he read her badge and said "Jesus Christ, Come in Come In!" He barely speaks english. We are working on getting Arabic teaching supplies, but I can promise you this stuff doesn't happen regularly in the United states :) We feel really blessed to be working with him, although it is the hardest thing in the world to teach the gospel in a laguage you dont know at all, but he says "I can feel you know it in your heart" Which I understand is the Spirit testifying to him of the truths we are teaching him. It is such an amazing thing to be a part of, and the miracle in even being able to understand some of what he is saying is pretty cool.

 

It has been crazy busy, We are filling our calendars 2 weeks out with appointments. This sunday our ward has a "special meeting" with 2 other wards in which we all think the boundaries are changing so we are interested in what that is going to bring. I just love the gospel and all the blessings and comfort it brings to us and our families. I hope all is well at home. I love you guys.

Love SIster Rose
