Week 60 RIP Jeepy Jeep

 FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CHILDREN OF GOD, 


I held a snake this week. Pretty exciting stuff. 

We went on exchanges on Wednesday. Hermana Stirling came to be with me and Sister Soultz in good ol' Sebastopol. It was a good time, we went to visit this member who showed us around his antique shop. He also played the guitar for us which was all very exciting. He loves his guitar. 

Kristianna is doing AMAZING!! I LOVE HER. She is only a JUNIOR in High School BUT she LOVES everything that we teach her and is growing SO much. This week we taught her the Plan of Salvation, we gave her a pamphlet at the end and later in the week we asked what she liked about it and she just told us that she was so grateful that she had it all in writing now. She also downloaded the Book of Mormon App and I am SO excited for her to begin reading! Plus she gave a BOMB prayer at the end where she asked for help in sharing the gospel. I AM OBSESSED WITH HER. 

In my studies this week I found this quote that I enjoy: 
“Even something as small as a man’s thumb, when held very near the eye, can blind him to the very large sun. Yet the sun is still there. Blindness is brought upon the man by himself. When we draw other things too close, placing them first, we obscure our vision of heaven.” -Elder Neal A. Maxwell 
Its bright out there Brothers and Sisters, make sure to not let anything get in your way off the light. 

Mucho Love,
Sister Tams

Other/Funny Stuff:
-We gave up the Jeep this week)': We have a corolla now for about a week but we are spoiled and get a RAV4 next!!!! SOOOO STOKED((((((:
-We went to go and find a member and instead stumbled upon the car feat below, SUPER cool honestly.
-We went to Armstrong Woods with the District Last Pday which was SO nice!! We went on a mostly uphill hike but it was worth it for the forest FULL of Redwoods. The world is a beautiful place. 
-Hermana Stirling is the sweetest human and told me that if I were a man she would marry me, I love her. 
-DON'T MISS OUT ON WEEK OF HAPPINESS!!! T-7 DAYS AWAYYY! Invite your friends, family, neighbors, kids, dogs, employees, employers, employers dogs, anyone really.

  FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CHILDREN OF GOD,  Wow wow wow HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I hope you all had the best and most festive Holiday, ours was definitely eventful.  We continue to teach our good friend Ray, we talked about the Restoration this week and he said that so far everything that he has heard lines up with his beliefs and the bible. He is superrrrr cool.  We got to see and talk to lots of amazing people this week which as always I loved!!! I don't have a ton of details for you, but just know that I have felt extremely grateful and humbled for the opportunity to have been able to serve in this area around such amazing people. A quote I loved from my studies said:  "Weakness and humility lead to hopefulness, not helplessness." -Scott Swofford I LOVE THIS!! As y'all know I have been studying a lot about humility and I know that as we turn things over to the Lord and recognize our own shortcomings He makes things into so much more than...

  FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CHILDREN OF GOD, EVERYTHING happened this week. ALL of it. Here is a highlight reel: -BOB GOT BAPTIZED YESTERDAY!!!!

It should be lots of fun.  -LAST BUT CERTAINTLY NOT LEAST ...

Friends and family, brothers and sisters, children of God,  We are on fire again, literally and figuratively! Last night we got a call that the Hermanas would be coming to stay the night because they were evacuated!! It has been a fun little slumber party and honestly none of us know how long it will last. The ash is worse than it ever has been before, the floor is coated with it. It is the end of the world, but that's okay because the work moves forward!! My zone has been continuing to kill it and we OFFICIALLY hit our high water mark, with 3 baptisms to go!! These Elders and Sisters are incredible and they have been working SO hard! I am SO glad I got to be apart of it all.  Bob is doing really really good and is making his way back to California! Which is THE BEST because his baptism will be on Sunday!!! We are ALL so excited!! SO PLS PRAY THAT THE FIRES DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING.  I have been teaching Sis Soultz the story of the Book of Mormon, because as a recent convert...
