Week 66 pie, dye, fry, and that one guy Bob

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


I HAVE THE BEST NEWS FOR YOU!!! 
Remember Bob??
The one who is supposed to be in Indiana until November...
WELL
He decided to come home early!!!!!
SOOOO we were able to put him on date to be baptized on the 4th of October!!!!
IM SOOOOO HAPPY
HE IS THE BEST

What a good week it was!! We taught a couple of lessons to our good friend Bob which he readily accepted! He is going strong with everything that we have taught him so far and is SO excited for his baptism. We got to see his face for the first time this week over zoom which was VERY exciting!! He attended online church with us, me and my companions got to speak and he said that he really liked each of our talks. I love him, he rocks. God is good. 

We got to go on exchanges with some of our cute Hermana friends! Hermana Lamoreaux came to Sebastopol and spent the day with me and Sis Soultz. We got to try this cute diner and we had the BEST fries...it was a wonderful wonderful day!!

I came across this poem that I loved:
"We stand at the crossroads,
each minute,
each hour,
each day,
making choices.
We choose
the thoughts
we allow ourselves to think,
the passions
we allow ourselves to feel,
and the actions
we allow ourselves to perform." 
Think about that, your life is up to you. 

Mucho Love,
Sis Tams

Other/Funny Stuff:
-We are doing 1 treat a week and this week we chose pumpkin pie...we had to track it down but it was worth every second of the journey. I love pie.
-I spoke in church on Sunday and I accidentally finished by saying "In the name of thy son, Jesus Christ" instead of just in the name of Jesus Christ...I got SO close to the end without messing up...oh well, next time. 
-One of the members in our ward is this adorable Belguim women named Sis Thirion. She gave us this box full of funny cards, we passed one on to the cute Hermanas and shared the wealth of our pumpkin pie. We love them.
-Our district made Tie Dye shirts and then we all wore them on Monday, the Elders also brought their instruments and we made a horrible song all about missionary work, it was quite funny. I may or may not have beat boxed in it...what a ride. 
-The weekend of the 4th is going to be the wildest weekend....we have MLC, General Conference, Bobs baptism, AND transfers!!! SO MANY OF MY FAVORITE THINGS. 

                                                                        Bob!

                                                                Treat of the week!
                                                        These Fries were BOMB!

  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 was an amazing poolside service and lots of great people came to support him. He was glowing and said he felt goosebumps the whole time. I love him so so much and am so so so happy that I got to be apart of it all.  -SISTER BUNKER IS LEAVING. Transfers are today and we found out we will be losing her to Novato. She is a rockstar and will be an STL her ENTIRE MISSION!!! I still cannot believe our dreams came true and that we got to be companions, I read a note that I wrote to her right after the MTC and I addressed it to my future companion. God is good and knew that I needed a comp like her, forever grateful.  -We are getting a cutie named Sis Hancock, she came in with Sister Soultz so I will be ending my last transfer with 2 newish missionaries!!! 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...
