Hola Familia!

Wow it sounds like Home is just a whole lot of fun craziness, glad to here you are all keeping busy. I am trying to do the same.

This week was pretty great. No complaints. Everyone here talks about how hot it is outside.... Well ok the sun is pretty good up here, but it still get pretty cool at night and hot here is like 90's. SO i don't really complain about the weather cause it feels wonderful. Haha tan line are coming. Just not in the same way they used to. I will always remember to choose the right cause that is probably my best tan line right now.

Transfers are this upcoming week and i am not going anywhere. I will be staying in the WKM (Washington Kennewick Mission) and Pasco as well. Same companion but there will be an addition to our companionship as well. SO we will be a trio. Lots of fun. Her nbame is Hermana McBride, who happens to be the other Hermana that Hermana Pierce trained. so it will be lots of fun. There will also be 2 english sisters in our area, which will total up to 7 sisters in our zone... Which is a lot. Exciting times.

I had a really cool experience this week. We were knocking doors in Richland, we don't go to Richland often cause not very many of the people we teach live there. Plus we always get lost in Richland. BUt we had no idea where we were and pulled over to a random place and started knocking these aparments. They turned out to be pretty empty and the doors that did open weren't the nicest, but... We did run into one lady and it was such a cool experience. We asked her is she had ever heard of our church before and she said yes and that she had researched it. (Oh goody) But it turns out in the religion she grew up in she was taught not to think very nice about Mormons and she had a grandmother who was a member and she just couldn't believe that her grandma was a bad person. SO she ended up going to Mormon.org for her research. We asked her if she any questions and she said no, but as we continued talking about Jesus Christ and bearing testimony of little things that we knew were true. After we would bear testimony she would open up and ask a question. We answered all of her questions and basically by the end of our chat had taught her all about the restoration of the gospel, the Book of Mormon and the Plan of Salvation. It was awesome!! She had never heard a belief in the Plan of Salvation like ours before and was interested. So hopefully she will continue to learn.

We are working hard here trying to bring people to church and back to church and its is good. There are lots of missionaries in this area so we have to be strategic as to not all be knocking on the same doors. But it is going really good here in Washington. I will be here in Pasco for another 8 weeks at least. We have a longer transfer so we aren't all moving around the same week the new mission president gets here.

I have also been studying Christ-like Attributes.. I have a lot of work to do to be like him. But that is life right? always trying to be like the Savior.

I love you all and i know that I am serving my Savior Jesus Christ and that his message is for everyone. There is no one outside of the reach of the Saviors arms. Every person is a Child of God and he knows every single one of us. Have a great week, and continue on in your adventures!!!

Con Amor,

Hermana Ray
