3.4.18

Hi friends!

Yesterday we didn’t have anything we had to do.. of course lots of things we should do.. so I convinced Ray to drive up to Snoqualmie Falls. I, sadly have never been and lived in WA most of my life. Is it sad to say, I was a little disappointed. It was beautiful!! But I think I’ve heard so many things about it being amazing, that it disappointed a little bit. I think because it is just one area. With Multnomah Falls and even Tumwater Falls, there is beauty everywhere around. I did love the mountains all around Snoqualmie! It was so sunny that the photo was glaring with sun.

The mountains reminded me of Utah. 


We had a cute/ fun activity this week for Young women’s- a mad Hatter tea (hot chocolate ) party. We played games and had treats and got chocolate. 


Did you hear the Turners got their mission call? They are going to Barcelona Spain in July to work with young adults. (I copied this from Megan’s Facebook)



Today in one of our meetings we were talking about testimonies. One person was talking about his heartache with a close friend deciding to not believe in the gospel anymore. So, then we talked about the importance of keeping our testimonies strong. It is not a one time thing, but a lifetime of doing things that strengthen our testimonies like all the primary answers of reading our scriptures and saying prayers. It was also noted that its important to understand that everyone has times in their life that they’re not feeling it as much and then it’s time to rely on your testimony from before and do the things you need to do to get back to your testimony. I once heard that your testimony is like an escalator you have to do things to strengthen your testimony then you’re going up. If your not doing anything then you’re going backwards. I’m grateful for my testimony. I know this gospel is true. I love the Book of Mormon. I love that we can have eternal families! I love my family! I know President Nelson is a true prophet of God. 


I love you all!
