Hey there Family! I hope everything is going well for you back at
home. Roseburg is amazing, I have literally never seen so much rain in
my life. I just keep thinking "where are the clouds getting so much
water!" This world is amazing, obviously a gift from Heavenly Father
to be able to live on it.

This week was awesome, I have never felt this good on my mission.
Thank you for all the prayers and support from back home. I really do
feel them and appreciate them.

We have been working really hard to get our investigators to progress,
but it seems like these ones are going to take more time and it is a
lesson on waiting for the Lords time.

Saturday I got a new companion. I got a phone call at noon from the
mission president telling me I needed to get the apartment ready and
they would be there in a few hours. Usually you would get a weeks
notice to solicite things from the ward, like a bed, dresser, and so
on. We got to work and made a lot of phone calls and rearranged the
whole apartment. Now there are 4 of us living together and it is a
blast. Sister Farnsworth is waiting for her Visa so she can go and
serve in Russia.

I hope everything is going great there. I don't know if I have any
cool stories, other than the fact that we tract in the pooring Rain
all the time :) I have learned that a water Resistant coat is not
waterproof, and that it wont outlast the Oregon Rain.

I know this Church is true! I love sharing that with everyone we meet
and testifying how blessed we are to have this knowledge.

Peace and Blessings.

Love Sister Rose

A random picture I found in the Ensign of people in our ward. So
Funny!! Look close :)
and The terrifying thing we had to pull off from our window. The
Elders did a number to block out the light. We were scared what was
behind it. . ..
