Its so wierd that this week I hit my six months mark. It makes me worry that this time is going way to fast. I seriously feel like I flew into Medford airport last week. I don't understand how the time goes so quickly.
The weather is the one thing that is reminding me the time is moving on. In the summer it was in the 90's now we are lucky to get to the 40's. It does rain a lot. But it is beautiful here. It is so green and because it is so wet the trees are covered in green moss. It is crazy wierd.
So this week we were able to see Dakota Molly and Hailey Get baptized. We found them the first Saturday in this area. They are living with their grandparents who are members and wanted them to take the lessons. They are such amazing kids and loved learning about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. It was fun to see the change this gospel can make in even the Little kids lives. Their baptism came with a lot of challenges, the Advesary through every obstacle possible at us but with much prayer and work with every leader in the church we were able to pull it off and the spirit there was so strong.
This week our ward boundaries were changed also. This means for our ward we lost about 90 members in one of our wards. It was like a Utah ward. I was shocked my first week here to see how huge the ward was, but now it is just our job to build it back up again. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to split these wards again, this last time it took 29 years. I am betting within the next 5 years this area has a new stake. The church is exploading and it is exciting to be a part of this work.
I love you all. I am so very grateful for each and everyone of you. I am grateful for this gospel and how it blesses my life. I am grateful for Joseph Smith, for the Sacrifices he made so this church could be on this earth today. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon. Reading it ten minutes a day will change anybodies life.
Love Sister Rose
