Whats Up Guys! This week has been amazing. We have had to work hard in
the time that has been given to us in between the sickness. Working
smart is the key when the flu is present.
Last Sunday we had Pearl and Tonda Show up to church, We greated them
at the door and Pearl said "this is our first time here." We found
out Pearl is actually a member who hasnt come for a long time, but her
Friend Tonda has never been. We taught him 3 lessons and He has agreed
that Baptism is the next step for him. Miracles do exist!! Tonda will
be baptized April 6th! We are excited for him.
We also found out that Josie, One of the Coolest little Kids I have
ever taught, is now ready for baptism. She will be getting Baptized
March 23rd. It has been really fun to teach and prepare her for
baptism.
The area is going good. It has been interesting to be here sixth
months. I cannot believe when I came here The leaves were just falling
off the tree and now the spring trees are starting to blossom. It
makes me realize time really is passing by way to quickly. The first
week we got to the area I found a CD with a talk by President Holland.
This morning while I listened to the Same talk I realized I have
almost memorized the thing word for word. Turns out if you listen to
something almost every other day for 6 months you can know if pretty
well.
Well I love you guys, I hope you are all doing well. I dont have many
pictures for this week. Sorry I will be better at taking pictures. I
love you all!!
Love Sister Rose
Peace and Blessings

This week went so Fast. I honestly cannot believe how quick time is
going. We were stuck in the house for a total of 3 days due to the flu
with one companion and thrown out back with another and Stomach issues
with me so it was just a party.
Sister Farnsworth Left this morning. I hate saying goodbye to my
companions. It really is probably the worst part of my mission. This
goodbye is harder because she is going to russia, not even a different
part of the mission, or going home to Utah or something but to russia.
She is going to do amazing out there. I cannot wait to hear about all
her crazy adventures.
Well Really not much has happened this week, we are just really trying
to stay alive and get out and work. I love this gospel and I love
being able to share it with the people here in Oregon.
Peace and Blessings.
Love Sister Rose

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

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.
1- We rang all doorbells....
2-Sister White, Farnsworth, and Cluff. My mission "Posterity"

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.

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

Hola! Familia, Como esta?
This week has been an amazing week! Since we are only over one ward we
have been able to really focus on this ward and getting it going. We
had 3 investigators when we took over the ward fully and now we are
working with 8 people. Tracting is a miracle and we have found people
that are ready to accept the gospel.
I Love this ward so much. I was sad to leave Roseburg ward but I
seriously love the families in this ward. They take care of us and I
feel like I am at home when I go to church. It is a great feeling.
So Me and Sister Farnsworth have been working hard this week. It is
fun having a companion who's nametag is in Russian. People look at her
all wierd then look at mine and feel better about it. I also think
Heavenly Father is preparing her for Russia. I have never had people
be so mean to us on doorsteps before. Its a regular occasion to get
yelled at now. Sister Farnsworth is amazing and just takes it, smiles
and walks away. I love it!
One of the funniest things I saw this week. We were at a ladies house
who had told us to come back. We knocked and no one answered the door.
As we were walking away we heard a meowing. Looked on the roof and the
cat, (who wouldn't leave us alone before) was stuck on the roof. I
laughed in my mind thinking, now you cant get your fur all over my
boots. Then This cat lays on its back like a dog wanting to be
scratched. It slowly started sliding to the edge of the house but
caught itself before it slipped off. The cat did this 2 more times,
except the last time he didnt catch himself. It was the funniest thing
watching that cat realize there was nothing below him and free fall 12
feet. <----- (rough estimate)
We also talked in church this week to the ward. It was awesome, You
guys all know how well I do speaking in church....
Hope all is well with everyone. I love you and Hope you have a fantastic week.
Love Sister Rose

Second was probably one of the best signs I have seen out here.
