Sister Grace Tams

FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CHILDREN OF GOD, INTRODUCING.....our new companion Sister Schmutz (pronounced Sh moo ts, lol) Sister Schmutz is from right outside of Albuquerque New Mexico. She is adorable and we love her a lot. Me and Sister Bunch were lone missionaries for all of Monday and Tuesday which was very weird, especially for Sister Bunch who has been in a trio her whole mission, but it was very good. We went around and delivered invitations to a Super Saturday Relief Society activity that our ward is throwing to some of the less actives in the ward. It was very nice, some of them were very nice.  On Wednesday we drove to Santa Rosa to pick up our new trainee! Sister Bunch went into the training meeting and they sent me and 2 other sister who are also in training trios out tracting in Santa Rosa. Very stressful, but honestly the best because those 2 other Sisters were Sister Needham and Sister Huntzinger who if you remember were both bomb sister in my ...

FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CHILDREN OF GOD, I SURVIVED MY FIRST TRANSFER IN THE MISSION FIELD! Sadly, Sister Colipapa was a casualty. We lost our sweet sweet Philipino friend to the Fairfield zone where she will help white wash and train with an Hermana. She will be missed. However, Me and Sister Bunch are staying in West Wacky and we are getting a new trainee! (Thats how good Sister Bunch is, she has 2 trainees at the same time) Also, for some crazy reason president extended the call for me to be an STL this transfer! So yeah, crazy stuff but I am really excited to serve in the way God wants me to.  This week was a good one, it was a little weird actually because all of the sudden people stopped answering us. It's like someone was following behind us making sure that nobody responded to our messages (my guess is on satan) Butttt that didn't stop us from having some really good lessons and meeting some awesome people. One of those people is April! April h...

FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CHILDREN OF GOD, Is it really Pday again? The weeks are flying by people. It was a fantastic week full of blessings! Missions are hard but God is good. Let me tell you about all the fantastic people that I am surrounded with. I told you about Etta (the cute 75 yr/old lady that we went to the temple with) but I don't feel like I did her justice so I am gonna tell you a little more about her.  Etta is 75 years old, she got baptized about a month ago and she won the lottery about a month ago (she won $30,000 lol) and she is still the most humble and selfless lady I have ever met. She has two brothers that are on the autism spectrum that she takes care of daily (bathes, feeds, clothes, all of it) they are both older than she is and she is so kind and loving to them both. We go over there on Saturdays to remind her that tomorrow is Sunday and to teach her a short lesson. This Saturday we taught her more about eternal life. It was one of ...
