Hey Guys!! I love You all!!

This week we have been so blessed to see many Miracles.The week
started out with me saying goodbye to Sister Cluff and Sister White
and Picking up my new Companion Sister Robinson, Which made Me Sister
Robinson and Sister Farnsworth into a Trio. Tuesday Farnsworth got her
call that her Visa was accepted and now it just has to be activated,
so she will be leaving us shortly. It is getting hard saying goodbye
to so many companions!

We worked this week with Tesha and Eric getting them ready for their
baptisms on Saturday. The baptism went really well and we had amazing
support from the ward. It was amazing to see how happy the kids were.
We showed a short film during the baptism while the kids were changing
and Eric had gotten back first. On the film it showed a whole bunch of
book of mormon's Tamesha the 4 year old yells out "its a bunch of
Moroni's" and Eric replies "No its the Book of Mormons!" It was so
funny to hear them in the middle of a spiritual moment. I love this
family and cannot wait to see them progress even more in the gospel.

So with this new transfer we took over Roseburg ward again. They had a
ward party we invited some investigators to. Had we known it would be
a little like an awkward Junior High dance we wouldnt have planned to
stay and attend. It was fun, it was just VERY hard not to listen to
the music.

The work is going great. I hope things are well there! I found Yoda
While Tracting.

Peace and Blessing
Love Sister Rose

Four Months ago when Me and Cluff opened this area we had no idea what we were getting into. I have gone through 3 transfers, 3 wards, 4 companions and I have survived and will be staying here in Roseburg this next six weeks. WAHOOO!!!

I think the most exciting part is that we are taking over Roseburg ward again, which was very hard to give up a month ago so that should be nice.

 

This week has been long, we spent a day inside due to illness but other than that we have been out working hard. It is getting interesting asking the same people for the 3rd time if they want to learn more. I like to confuse them and ask them if they have every talked to missionaries before. Never Gets old.

 

We are getting Tesha and Eric ready for their baptism this Saturday. They are so excited and I cannot wait to see the many blessings and miracles it brings to their family. We are working with Patty and Reva and Dawn to get them ready for their baptisms in the following weeks. And with picking up Roseburg ward there are a few families they are working with that have a lot of potential. It sure is a great time to be a missionary. I love it out here the work is going great and the miracles are endless.

 

I will attatch pictures now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHIT!!!!!

Well this week was amazing, we have seen Miracles left and right. our
week started our with Zone Conference. We went down to Medford and you
all might want to sit down for this, Sister Farnsworth and I won the
Cleanest Car award. I know right! I laughed when they read our name.
We got the "gold plates" and a $50 gift card to go out to dinner.
Pretty sweet deal.

We also met with an amazing family that contacted us while we were out
tracting. the Dad is a member but the mom and kids are not. We have
set up to have the two oldest and the mom baptized. It is so excited
to see this whole family get involved in the church!

We also met with Patty who is just amazing. We had prayed to know
where to tract and felt really strongly about this particular street.
We went and knocked the whole street and no one answered. Patty was
the last house on the corner and asked if we could come back. We went
back and She is now getting baptized on March 3rd. Heavenly Father
Truly is preparing people all around us.

We are working really hard and seeing a lot of success. It has been an
amazing experience and I wouldnt change it for the world.

Pictures to come next week, sorry I forgot my camera cord. . .

Peace and Blessings.

Love Sister Rose

Hello Hello!!

I was just about ready to sign off the computer and I realized I
hadn't written an email. I responded to everyone but I didn't do this
one. That was close.

This week has been totally awesome. We had 205 people tell us they
were not interested and 3 we talked into taking Book of Mormons. I
think Heavenly Father is getting Sister Farnsworth Ready for Russia by
hardening the hearts of the oregonians here. I have been yelled at
before but never like this. Its quite interesting.

We have seen miracles this week. I have a strong testimony that when
we put our faith and our time in tracting, blessings will follow and
Its amazing.

Funny story, so as we were out tracting a few people tell me I have
been there before and I just laugh it off. "Sorry I forgot we knocked
on this very distinct bright orange house with plants lining the
porch." So we go to knock on this door and they had the coolest glass
in the door. You know on the MAC computers how you can do the fun
camera thing and make your face all distorted? Well this door was like
that. I started laughing uncontrollably and my companion was looking
at me like I was out of line. Well no-one answered the door so I
stayed for a minute and played with the way things looked. It was so
fun.... While you all were watching the super bowl I was making faces
at a door that no one was behind.

So were working hard, I promise. The area is amazing here. It is so
beautiful and I just love it.

Love You All

Peace and Blessings

Sister Rose
