What a blessing the light
of day is for our mission! Those who have been here through the winter have
a special appreciation for the long light days we are now enjoying. One
sister told me she feels guilty going in at 9:00 because it is still light
outside. I hope we will be able to use this light from the sun to share
with the world the light of His Son. It is a blessing to be able to speak
and testify of our Savior in sunlight all day long!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Quentin L Cook teaches us about
following our Savior. One of the remarkable characteristics of young wild
sunflowers, in addition to growing in soil that is not hospitable, is how the
young flowers buds follow the sun across the sky. In doing so it receives
life sustaining energy before bursting forth in its glorious yellow
color. Like the young sunflower, when we follow the Savior of the world,
the Son of God, we flourish and become glorious despite the circumstances that
surround us. He truly is our light and life. As individuals,
disciples of Christ, living in a hostile world we can thrive and bloom if we
are rooted in our love of the Savior and humbly follow His teachings. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were all given a copy of <i>The
Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles </i>following conference. I
hope you have taken some time in your study to read and pondered that inspired
document. In the last paragraph it says,” Jesus is the light, the life and the
hope of the world.” We all have times of darkness in our lives but the
light of Christ can help us overcome our fears, a feeling of being lonely,
health issues, anxieties and be a comfort to us in all times. We need something
better than our mortal vision to face our challenges. We need our Saviors
perfect vision. Because of Him, His light, His life and His hope, as that
great hymn <i>The Lord is My Light</i> says, there is no darkness at all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
John 8:12 tells us, “I am the light
of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have
the light of life.” May we always find ourselves in His light is my
prayer for the Washington Federal Way Mission.<o:p></o:p></div>

Exhaustion<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
Heat exhaustion is a condition whose symptoms may include heavy sweating and
a rapid pulse, a result of your body overheating. It's one of three
heat-related syndromes, with heat cramps being the mildest and heatstroke being
the most severe.<o:p></o:p><br />
Causes of heat exhaustion include exposure to high temperatures,
particularly when combined with high humidity (Check the heat index on hot
days, a heat index of 90+ is dangerous), and strenuous physical activity.
Without prompt treatment, heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke, a life-threatening
condition. Fortunately, heat exhaustion is preventable. <o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Signs and symptoms of heat
exhaustion may develop suddenly or over time, especially with prolonged periods

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As a result, your body may develop
heat cramps, the mildest form of heat-related illness. Signs and symptoms of
heat cramps usually include heavy sweating, fatigue, thirst and muscle cramps.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You usually can treat heat cramps by
drinking cold fluids or sports drinks containing electrolytes (Gatorade,
Poweraide, others), getting into cooler temperatures, such as an air-conditioned

We will contact the doctor if your signs or symptoms worsen
or <b>if they don't improve within one hour</b>.
We will seek immediate medical attention if your body temperature reaches 104 F
(40 C) or higher. This is critical. Everyone needs to have a thermometer in
their apartment in the summer. A simple manual one will do. You must practice
learning how to use it. <b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">First of
all, Sister Nydegger and I would like to tell you all how much you mean to
us. You have made our Mission Service
something we will never forget. You are
the elect that Heavenly Father has saved for these final hours of His
work. But even the elect can fall if
obedience is forgotten or doing our will is more important to us than doing His
will. Be valiant, missionaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now this
month I would like to deal with speeding.
With the warm weather here, it seems that many missionaries like to put
the “pedal to the metal” and don’t listen to TIWI or obey the speed limit. As this picture shows, good driving is not
accomplished by adding more speed.
Obedience to traffic laws, like obedience to the commandments brings
safety and peace. As Elder Holland
promised, missionaries can expect blessings from the Lord especially when we
are obedient to his commandments. Please
pull in the reigns a little and let up on the gas. We can save lives, money and our souls all at
the same time. Best wishes to you all
and remember<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Elder Dube has done some very hard things in his
life. He is a great example to us. Elder Dube taught us that God
knows us and he called us to be His missionaries in this mission. He
lifted our vision of ourselves as he taught us you can change your life to what
you can become as a missionary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
He asked us the question, “Elders and sisters, will you
see your potential?” When you find your potential you find your
success. The brethren, even they are along in years, are very hard
working every day and work through everything. L. Tom Perry worked hard
to the very end of his life because he knew what he could become. He
challenged us to know that for ourselves – to know what we can become as we
work hard to the end of our mission. We were taught well how we can
become “disciple of Christ missionaries” and not “me missionaries”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
I hope we have all set some new personal goals to be more
Christ like disciples and work long and hard as we learned from Elder and
Sister Dube’s example last month. We were all very blessed to have been instructed by Elder Dube!<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Castellar",serif;">One reason it
is important to smile at everyone is because of the “Eye Contact
contract”. When two people make eye
contact and one smiles, the other one is obligated under the “eye contact
contract” to return a smile. It works
almost every time. Give it a try!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Brother
Don Zahner was found in December of last year a couple of weeks before
Christmas. Missionaries tracted into him in his home and left him with a
Restoration pamphlet, which he agreed to read. He said that he had found
in his life that his way didn't work, so he was willing to try God's way.
When the missionaries visited him a week later, he had read through the
pamphlet but decided that the Mormon religion wasn't for him. Despite the
rejection, the missionaries kept pushing forward, and by the time they left,
they had given him a Book of Mormon and he said that "this book will not
go unread". From there on, Brother Zahner shot like lightning
towards baptism. The power and knowledge that he received from his
studies of the Book of Mormon gave him the faith and desire to be baptized and
have relief from his burdens of guilt. He made huge changes in his life
in a very short time and he was baptized in the end of March. You
couldn't believe the spiritual knowledge that he's gained in such a short
time. We've learned from this experience that the Book of Mormon has
great power in conversion, and the truths taught therein provide great light
and understanding. -- Elder Drabicki<o:p></o:p></div>

</span> <span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-size: large;">Sister Rasmussen’s Message to the Missionaries:</span><br />
It is always such a highlight of our mission when interviews roll around. I can't tell you how much I look forward to sitting down and talking with each of you. When we first arrived here and did the "Meet the President" tour of the mission, I told myself that I would probably never know every missionary. How wrong I was! I do know each of you and look forward to learning more about you and the work in your area during interviews.<br />
This time it was such a thrill for me to hear of the revelation you had received about God's plan for finding his prepared children in your area and how you were applying that revelation. I look forward to hearing the coming chapters of that incredible story that will lead you to baptize God's prepared. I know that with continued faith and diligence you will see miracle and baptisms as a result of your efforts each day. Please text me of those miracles you see. I love when you share the successes you see in this great era of the hastening of the Lord's work.<br />
I also loved hearing about your Hark, Mark and Embark reading. I have been blessed with a greater understanding of the Doctrine of Christ and the importance it has been to all people, in all times and in all places. God sends his prophets to teach the same important truths in every dispensation of time. We are blessed to know that it will never be taken from the earth again. We can look forward to seeing many prophecies fulfilled as we take this mighty work of bringing His sons and daughter to a covenant path that leads back to Him. I hope you have seen your faith grow and your understanding of the Book of Mormon expand as you take this challenge and show the Lord your desire to learn more from His holy scriptures each day.<br />

Auburn Day of Service with the Zone)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> This week was amazing and not one
that I will soon forget. Brother Dan Scoville was baptized on the 22nd and
confirmed on the 23rd! It has been a long and stressful journey for sure but I
am so grateful for the opportunity that the Lord has given for me to be a part
of his life. We first met him amount 3 months ago when we approached him
outside while he was working on his car and have taught him and grown to love
him a lot. It is amazing also how much I have learned and my testimony has
grown as we served him and got to know him. Brother Hanson in the ward baptized
him and I was given the opportunity to confirm him yesterday. At the baptism
the Spirit was so strong it was a tangible feeling and I felt such a pure joy
the whole night. Elder Thibaudeau sang "Come Thou Fount" and I was
reminded of how grateful I am that the Lord offered himself to rescue me from
the path I was on and helped me to be where I was sitting that night and where
I am at now in my life. I am grateful that he doesn't give up on us and I know
he will never give up on me or anyone. We taught the Restoration of the Gospel
at the baptism and I could feel the power of the message stronger than ever.
The word that has always stood out to me has been Restoration but lately the
word that stands out to me is Gospel. It is his gospel that matters. That is
what was restored and by living it, that is how we find real joy. I have seen
in my life that it is a formula that always works. and it worked for Dan. On
Sunday after he was confirmed he bore his testimony of that. He said that after
learning about the Gospel in its fullness that sorrow that he had not known how
to deal with became Godly sorrow. It was and is the same for me. I have never
been happier and I know it is because of him. I am very happy in this area I
have a great companion and I love this ward a lot. We don't have anyone else on
date for baptism yet but hopefully soon! As far as the Confirmation I was very
nervous but as always when the moment came the words were there. I'm not
entirely sure what was said but I could feel the power of the priesthood and
know that they weren't my words. It was pretty nerve racking to stand in a
circle with so many great men but I am so grateful for it. I have a lot of
emails to write but It was a great week. Dan is a great man and a friend and a
new member of the church and God led us to him so his life could be changed my
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know it has changed my life. He lives and I love
him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Connie Plum was baptized on April 29th and Confirmed the
next day. She has an amazing story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Her daughter was baptized a couple years after marrying her
husband who has always been a member. From that point on Sister Plum was
against the church. Then after 30 years or so something miraculous happened. She had a stroke. Her children thought she was going to die so they sold her
house along with all her belongings. But being the fighter that she is she
survived. With nowhere to go, and in too good of health to be in an assisted
living place she moved in with her daughter and her family. A year ago the
missionaries came and taught her for the first time. Apparently it didn't go
well. She bashed with them about the trinity. Fast Forward to about a month
before her baptism. It was my first lesson with her. She had spent the past
weekend watching general conference and loved it. She was also reading the Book
of Mormon. She told us she wanted to be baptized and committed that night. Each
lesson after that she taught us. We would give her a pamphlet or tell her what
we would learn the next lesson and she would study. She would then take 3 to 6
pages of notes on that subject and would teach us what she had learned. Her
heart went from hard to soft. When you ask her what caused that change she said
it was the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon softened her heart and I know it
can soften any heart that reads and studies it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I know the Book of Mormon is true. I have seen the Book of
Mormon change lives and families. It has changed mine. I know Christ
lives. He loves me and knows me. He knows you too. I know that there are more
Connie Plums in the Washington Federal Way mission who are prepared and ready
to accept the gospel. It may take some time, but they are there. We need to
find them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I just wanted to share a special baptism we attended last Saturday. This is Sister Facer, Brother John Jorgenson and Sister Giles. John is almost 90 years old. After being taught by the missionaries about Jesus Christ, and after having several spiritual experiences he decided he wanted to be baptized! <br />
At his baptism, a sister from the ward was giving a talk about the Holy Ghost and John added his testimony several times about how real the Holy Ghost is. He has had several experiences with promptings from the Holy Ghost that he said are priceless and sacred. I'm so thankful for worthy, obedient missionaries that serve as a conduit for the Holy Ghost to teach. It's not the missionaries that convert...it's the Holy Ghost! I'm thankful for the third member of the Godhead!<br />

Things are a little backed up due to other pressing matters in the mission office - so I'd like to do a little catching up today.<br />

This picture was put in a safe place, and we were thrilled to find it so we could post it. Good things come to those who wait!

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12.8px;"> On April 6th, we
started reading the Book of Mormon together as a mission. It is called
"The Washington Federal Way Mission Faith Feast...Hark, Mark and
Embark". Our goal is to build our faith as we harken to the word of
God, mark our scriptures, and then embark on sharing the doctrine of Christ
with everyone we see. We hope this will also help us feel more
unified as a mission. Each missionary was given a blue Book of Mormon and a set of 12 colored pencils at zone conference.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12.8px;"> We are marking the doctrine of Christ which includes
faith, Jesus Christ, the Atonement, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost and
enduring to the end (3 Nephi 27:13-22). We read about eight pages a day
and will finish it in two transfer cycles or three months. That will be just
before our zone conference in June. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12.8px;"> At interviews last week I had a chance to ask the
missionaries how they were enjoying it. Everyone had a positive response. As
missionaries, we recite our purpose before all of our zone conferences,
mission leadership council's and training meetings. Our purpose as stated in
Preach My Gospel is "To help others coming to Christ by helping them
receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his Atonement,
repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the
end." One missionary said, "It seems like the doctrine of
Christ is on almost every page!" They can also include any other
topics of special interest to them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12.8px;"> We would invite you to join with us!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12.8px;">Sharing your experiences as you read with your missionary is a great
conversation to have in your weekly emails. Ask them what new things they are
learning about Christ's doctrine and how they are able to apply it in their
missionary work each day. We encourage you to share these faith promoting
experiences with us at </span><a href="mailto:cherylrasmussen@hotmail.com" style="font-size: 12.8px;">cherylrasmussen@hotmail.com</a><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12.8px;">
and we will post some in the blog. </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
As the Referral Secretary I deal with mail every day - and I love it! I love seeing the smiles and joy on our Sisters and Elders faces when they receive something, anything. My heart also hurts for them when they say "nobody loves me" when they don't receive mail. Everybody laughs, and I make sure I add my comment "It doesn't mean you're not loved, it just means your love ones were super busy this week." (It doesn't seem to help much!) I found this suggestion list and thought I'd pass it along. If you are sending mail, thank you! If not, maybe this will help. We love our missionaries!</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: underline;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Message from Elder and Sister Holliday, housing coordinators:</span></strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14pt;">One of the major themes of the Doctrine and Covenants is the call to prepare. The word prepare is found 137 times in its pages. A sampling of them would surely include "Prepare ye, prepare ye for that which is to come....," (D&C 1:12) "Prepare every needful thing," (D&C 88:119} "prepare for the supper of the Lamb." (D&C 65:3)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; text-align: left;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14pt;">One of the greatest fears in life is that of being unprepared, whether for a catastrophe or the Coming of the Lord.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Let this theme also be one that applies to your apartments. Knowing where the water shut off valve is, having emergency phone numbers posted in an easy to access location, having a 1st Aid Kit, extra food and water, regularly testing and reporting your CO/Smoke detectors are also important. Add to the list the need to have a clutter free apartment that is regularly cleaned and kept orderly. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">If you establish a lifetime habit of doing all you can to be prepared you will realize the truth of the Lord's promise, "If ye are prepared ye shall not fear." (D&C 38:30) </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">As you especially prepare for the Coming of the Lord, you will know that he as also prepared for </span><em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14pt;">your </em><span style="font-size: 14pt;">coming. To you he extends the greatest of all promises, "..in my Father's house are many mansions, and I have prepared a place for you; and where my Father and I am, there ye shall be also." (D&C 98:18)</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We enjoyed being with all of you at zone conference in February. We learn and grow together from your personal dedication, testimony and insights into missionary work. Keep up the good work! Following up on what President Rasmussen said about “With the Lord, all Things are Possible” I wanted to remind us all of some things we can do to reduce some of the challenges we all face while on a full time mission. If we expect the Lord’s help, we need to do our part as well.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> We are wisely taught in <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Adjusting to Missionary Life </em></strong>that ”excessive stress can affect our health, ability to sleep and ability to handle temptation”. Good nutrition and exercise help us manage stress better. Elder Draney gave us some wonderful workout ideas I hope you are utilizing. Remember his counsel: Nothing works until you do.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> As we strive to work hard every day to fulfil our purpose as missionaries, Preach my Gospel (page 23) offers us some great suggestion. I think we would all benefit from reviewing them and picking a couple to earnestly work on. “If you are having challenges, prayerfully choose one or two suggestions that seem right for you. Not every suggestion will work for every person, but most ideas must be practiced for at least two or three weeks to begin to be helpful. Look in the ‘General Principles for Managing Stress’ section on pages 17-22 for additional suggestions” PMG p. 23.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. Break down big or difficult tasks into smaller pieces. If they still feel too hard, break them down more. Then act. If you wait to ‘feel Like’ working before starting, you may wait a long time. Get started and motivation will follow.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. Pace yourself. Vary the work you do and don’t work too long at just one activity. Remind yourself: All I have to do right now is _____.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">3. Get enough sleep, healthy food, water and exercise to have the stamina you need.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">4. Look for and welcome support, suggestions and encouragement from others. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">5. Express gratitude. Be grateful for not only you blessings but for your challenges and adversities and what you can learn from them. This will open the door for the Lord to bless and help you.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> I have been keeping a gratitude journal this year and I have enjoyed the time it gives me to reflect on my many blessings. You missionaries are often mentioned as you are one of them. I want to take the advice here and be grateful for my challenges and adversities from now on. Writing often helps us put our life in perspective as we spend quiet time thinking. In doing this we put ourselves in a position to feel the Spirit and often receive guidance in our lives. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Open-Sans-Light, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I know that with the Lord, all things</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><u style="box-sizing: border-box;">are</u></em><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">possible. May we work hard to be physically and mentally healthy so He will help us go forward each day, teaching repentance and baptizing converts. With faith in Him, we can accomplishing things that are not possible by ourselves. </span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 12pt;">Can you believe it's February already? We are looking forward to Zone Conferences which will start Saturday Feb 4th.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">This week was amazing! I was thinking Friday morning of what we could do for the Finding Festival. I didn't really want to spend 6 hours tracting and/or contacting. I wanted to do something a little more fun and productive... So I came up with the idea to draw out the plan of salvation with sidewalk chalk. And it was awesome! We had missionaries all over Auburn drawing it at parks and bus stations and right in front of the churches. The Olympic Elders had all of the little Marshallese kids come out and help them. It was a ton of fun and we talked to so many people. We wrote out questions and scriptures and Mormon.org or Lds.org on all of them so even after we were gone people could look it up. It worked out really well! And it was sunny that morning. We were all praying for no rain so we could go out and draw and the sun came out that morning. It was perfect. </span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 12pt;">I wanted to share an incredible story that I had the privilege of witnessing a few days ago. We have an elder serving in our ward that has been out about 15 months. He is an incredibly humble servant of the Lord. His birthday is coming up this week. One of his investigators, a mother herself, was going with us to the missionary devotional on Sunday night and we met them so they could follow us. Before we left she indicated she wanted to speak with the missionaries. Her 15 year old son, who is getting baptized in 2 weeks, came over and handed this elder a box of shoes for his birthday. He was just blown away and immediately changed his shoes in the car so he could wear the new shoes to the devo. I texted his mom a picture and she was so touched that another mother would recognize this need for her son and act on that so sent me a note to pass along to thank this sweet sister for her generosity. This was the investigators reply. "I've had many missionaries but when these 2 came to the door immediately I had felt like my family had found me and I felt love and my loneliness started to dwindle away more and more. I had felt like I had been searching for them forever and here they were..my son feels the same..Like we are home where we belong. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">There isn't anything my family wouldn't do for them..To see the smile when he was wearing his shoes warmed my heart. .so many people just put on shoes everyday and don't think of the significance of it..those last shoes had holes and were worn because he had searched and searched to find us..Now we are giving him new ones so he can continue to search for others so we can all be together again someday</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "segoe ui symbol" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">♡</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Message from Sister Rasmussen: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 105%;"> As a
mission, we decided on December 17<sup>th</sup> and the 24<sup>th</sup> to go
finding new investigators from 10:00 until 5:00. Each zone organized
their festival to meet their zone’s needs. There was a variety of plans
including many exchanges with companions (each lasting for only a couple of
hours), meeting back as a zone for lunch and then scrambling the companionships
again for the afternoon, mini Blitzes where they went to others areas,
etc. The initial announcement was met with great enthusiasm by many
but great trepidation by some. Five hours of finding! Many had never
done more than a couple of hours at a time. With much planning and
careful execution the day was a smashing success! Sister Rasmussen texted
every companionship in the afternoon to see how things were going and encourage
them to the end. There was no need for the encouragement. There
were having a ball and finding many new investigators. We ended up having
169 new investigators the week of December 17<sup>th</sup>. And did I
mention it was the coldest day of the year so far? The high was 30
degrees. But they were a mighty army of God as they marched toward
great success. There were too many blessings to list them all from this
day but to name a few as recognized by the missionaries:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<li> Greater zone unity</li>
<li> Elevated their vision of what they can accomplish when finding</li>
<li> Learning new finding techniques from other missionaries</li>
<li> Increased faith</li>
<li> Finding new investigators</li>
<li> Finding out finding can be fun!</li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 105%;">These days
were such a success we have decided to implement a “Festival of Finding” the
first Saturday of each transfer. We pray this will bring the above
blessings and start the transfer out on the right foot, especially for new
companionships. We ask everyone to pray with us for many more successful
festivals in the future. Stay tuned for success stories that started with
150+ missionaries heading out together as a mighty army to find those who have
been prepared to receive the restored gospel!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /><br />It was such an amazing experience getting to teach these people. I mostly
taught Ryan (the 9 year old) and he was so smart! Everything I taught he
remembered and accepted. Every lesson we had, he would always tell me how
excited he was to be baptized by his brother.<br /><br />The mother on the other hand, was also amazing! After every lesson Elder </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Jang would tell me how she would do anything and everything the gospel required
of her so that she can have a happy family. The thing I believe that struck her
the most was the fact that she can be sealed to her husband. (who had passed
away a few years back).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br />It has been 4 short weeks since we started teaching them and now they are
all a happy baptized member family :) I am truly grateful for this experience
we were able to have! It has proven yet again that there are so many people in
each of our areas who are just waiting for the Gospel!<br /><br />But we must give credit to the Federal Way Sisters, (Sister Efnor and Sister Thurman)! If it wasn't for their
hard work and their inspiration to knock on their door, none of this would have
ever happened :)</span><br />

Early
Summer in 2016 Elder John and Elder Rex knocked on a media referrals door who
was not receptive. Having faith they were there for a reason they began to
knock on the surrounding doors when they knocked on Jazmine and Justine
Salgatar's door. Jazmine opened the door
but was currently busy, however she agreed for a return appointment. Later she
told us that she didn't know why she said yes to another appointment, but she
felt something inside her tell her that she needed to listen. <o:p></o:p></div>

Fast forward a few weeks; we get the dreaded call 30 minutes before the
lesson and she tells us that she doesn't want to learn more. We asked for ten
minutes that day to talk and during that short lesson we asked her to pray
about what to do. After her genuine prayer she looked up, with tears peaking
out of her eyes, and said, "Yes I will learn more." <o:p></o:p></div>

Jazmine was baptized two months later.<br />

Justine, her identical
twin, had a few holdups. One of them was over coming family opposition. It was
a fast Sunday when Justine calls us to tell her she has decided she is going to
be baptized. She was at work at asked us to tell Jazmine the amazing news. We
made the call and Jazmine let at a sigh of relief immediately. She was so happy
for several reasons but it also boosted her testimony of the power of fasting.
She was fasting that day that Justine would get the answer to be baptized! Even
though her parents still weren't actually on board, Justine was baptized a few
weeks after that special fast Sunday.<br />

Now their parents let missionaries know
they are welcome at anytime! Miracles both big and small happen as we listen to

So much love sent from home! This was one small delivery - our mailman delivered our record 72 parcels in one delivery. So exciting for us to imagine the happiness each of these packages will bring our missionaries.</div>

President and Sister Rasmussen loaded all this and more to the Stake Centers on Thursday Dec. 15th and 16th for the Christmas Devotional Dinners. The yellow rolls are gifts of Mission Logo t-shirts. Ask your missionary about the meaning of the logo. Yellow symbolizes service - they are encouraged to wear the t-shirts during service opportunities.<br />

Our name on our Mission Office door has had a damaged letter "T" in Latter-Day Saints - it was half gone. Elder Samuels decided to make a sticker letter to provide a temporary fix. It looks great!!<br />
Thanks Elder!!<br />

These are the only clues in the box - <u>our Elder is known and loved by Hannah</u>! Does this look familiar to you? Please help solve this mystery and call Sister Nydegger at the mission office -<br />
425-413-0769 if you know who this present was sent to.<br />
<br />
Also, while we're on the subject of mail....we appreciate all who have sent their Christmas packages!<br />
Remember, the due date is Dec 1st. We are keeping track of who gets packages so we can provide something for those who don't. Please indicate on the outside of the package that it's for Christmas.<br />
The missionaries are getting the packages delivered to them the Monday after they arrive at the office.<br />
<br />
Please, please, please remember to include a FIRST and last name of the missionary. We have several missionaries that have the same surname, so when we get mail addressed to Sister Cook we have to determine which Sister Cook it goes to...not always an easy process.<br />

<h2>
EXCITING EVENT!!!!!!!!</h2>
It was time for one of the fleet cars to retire and the mission received a brand new Chevy Malibu that would be assigned to some lucky companionship to drive. The Elders were hopeful that it would be them!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WAsn7Ap7mlg/WC4GUyOY88I/AAAAAAAABJ4/u1M83IMCkDQ3Qn_lrml52MDwULz3gLcKwCLcB/s1600/Elders%2Bwith%2Bnew%2Bcar%2BNov2016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: 12.8px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WAsn7Ap7mlg/WC4GUyOY88I/AAAAAAAABJ4/u1M83IMCkDQ3Qn_lrml52MDwULz3gLcKwCLcB/s640/Elders%2Bwith%2Bnew%2Bcar%2BNov2016.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Elder Nydegger, (a.k.a. "car master" ) and President Rasmussen decided that the new car would go to the companionship that had the cleanest car during Zone inspections but this fact was kept secret from the Elders and Sisters. After very rigorous examinations of each of the cars in the fleet (59 to be exact) the office Elders - Elder Rodarte and Elder Samuels along with Elder Nydegger decided it was a clear choice...Sister Souza and Sister Reed had the cleanest best kept car and earned the priviledge of driving the new car!<br />

October has been rich with sacred events! Miracle baptisms, uplifting counsel from President and Sister Rasmussen and always the heartfelt encouragement from fellow missionaries and loved ones from home.<br />
<br />
<u>Our Mission Motto</u> - which is repeated at every meeting:<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">"Now behold a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men. Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day. There, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work; For behold the field is white already to harvest and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with all his might, the same layeth up in store that he parish not, but bringeth salvation to his soul. And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work. Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence. Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" Doctrine and Covenants Section 4</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Elder Lappalainen</span> - "We started out our day praying that we would have miracles and we would find someone that would accept the restored gospel. Then as we went out and started off that morning nothing really happened. But, as we went out to lunch on the way to an appointment that we had set up my district leader asked if I had ever talked to that person and I said no. With him following the Spirit we talked to this teenage girl and</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> she showed no interest. Then the grandmother came outside and we turned our attention to her. As we did this we started talking about how life is going and she said fine and then changed to talking about God and she didn't really know what to believe. As the conversation went on my District leader was turning the conversation like this. "Well, we see that you have been having a rough day and we know that God does exist." Then Elder Lappalainen said, "Elder Graham would love to sing a song to you." He was stunned that I knew what he was going to do and she allowed us to sing her a song. We sang to her "I Am a Child of God". It was the most powerful time that I felt the Spirit testify to someone, especially in a song. This song made her tear up and cry. "You boys were sent here today to sing this song to me" said Sister Gillespie. "I know that God is real, you have shown his love to me through that song."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My district leader went to do a little bit of service of chopping wood as it needed to be smaller to fit in the stove that they used for warmth, while I talked to her about the Plan of Salvation. She later told me about what she was going to do later that night. "I was going to kill myself and my dogs and I knew when and where I was going to do it. But now because of you two I can't do it. God cares and I want to learn more about what you have to share." We set up a return appointment and that was the highlight of our day. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Later we couldn't find a fellowship to go with us, so we just switched with the sisters for a lesson that they couldn't find a fellowship for either and that is when Sister Gillespie started to do the things that she needed to do. She came to church, gave up smoking, coffee and even tea. For her faith had grown to an immense mustard seed as she called it. She later had to go through her husband dying unexpectedly and had to deal with that, but the sisters helped her through all of it and in the end she asked me to baptize her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is more than just an inspirational story, it is a story that truly changes what you think life is all about how important the gospel is. It helps you see that God does truly know his children and knows when they are ready for the gospel. No matter the circumstances, no matter the trials, and no matter the hardships or joyous times. God is there and loves us."</span><br />

Rasoul was a referral sent to us from the Kent Hermanas a few weeks after we’d started learning Arabic together. He and his family were faithful Muslims but had, by some miracle received a Gospel Principles book in Arabic from two Elders who had served in the area three years prior. Even though he didn’t speak any English, he still wanted to learn about the church, and we were blessed with the opportunity to teach him!<br />
There’s a saying common to missionaries that states “when you love big you hurt big,” and that’s kind of what it was like teaching Rasoul. He was prepared from the beginning, even if he didn’t know it; he was reading the Book of Mormon at an average rate of 3 or 4 hours a day, and completed the entire book in less than a month! But it seemed like every point of doctrine we would teach to him would take him two steps forward and one step back. He accepted all of the commandments we’d teach him without any question – he gave up smoking the moment we asked him to – but he could not fathom how Jesus Christ could be the Son of God, or how we could personally receive a witness of that through the Holy Ghost, which would be sent down from our Heavenly Father, who loves us and has a body. Every time we would teach that doctrine he would exclaim, “Kebir mooshkila!” Big problem!<br />
The Spirit of the Lord drove us as a companionship to our knees, and we began to fast and pray within every prayer that Rasoul would have a dream that would testify to him that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and that he would know what we’ve taught him is true. All the while, his faith began to dwindle. He began to read the Koran again and didn’t want to come to church. He'd read the Book of Mormon and the missionary pamphlets so many times (without asking God in prayer if what they taught were true) that he was beginning to turn away, so the ward ordered and delivered to him a Bible in Arabic. Our prayers for him increased. Nothing seemed to be working.<br />
On September 2 we went to teach him English and our lives changed. He sat us down and with tears in his eyes told us that he had had a dream that night, and that by the course of events that had occurred in his dream, he knew that what we’d taught him was true, and he was ready to be a part of it. He knew the Bible and the Book of Mormon to be the word of God, and he was ready to give everything to become a Christian and a missionary! From that point onward, he flew. He was baptized on October 8 with a stronger testimony of the truth and divinity of this gospel than anybody would have ever believed. At his baptism he thanked everybody for coming and proclaimed that he felt like it was his birthday. We’ve never seen a man more thankful. He has strengthened our testimonies and is ready to share the good news with everyone he meets – and he does.<br />
Although Rasoul speaks minimal English, and we spoke equally minimal Arabic, he was still able to make this incredible decision to be baptized. A member of our ward once explained it to Rasoul as “understanding by the language of the Spirit.” There is literally no way Rasoul ever would’ve been converted had this not been the Lord’s work. Granted, his nine and ten year old daughters are incredible translators with amazing testimonies as well; they and their mom, who recently became interested in learning about the gospel after Rasoul’s baptism, are now also working towards baptism with the hope of being an eternal family. This is the Lord’s work! It can humbly be said that one of the greatest lessons we learned with Rasoul is that God is still a God of miracles. Because of this man’s testimony, we will never, for the rest of our lives, be able to doubt that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the church on the earth today with the fullness and entirety and authority of the Lord’s gospel. This could not have happened if it weren’t.<br />
Like we have previously mentioned, nothing we did on our own had anything do to with Rasoul’s conversion. One day he was hardened, and the next he was asking for baptism. That was solely done through the power of God. But we’re also equally convinced that if it weren’t from the efforts of all who helped Rasoul along the path, it would not have been such a joyful experience for this man. The Hermanas who found him, the missionaries who helped him three years ago, the members who fellowshipped him, our district who prayed and studied for him, and every other missionary who has prayed for baptisms and soft hearts and miracles in this mission made the difference for Rasoul. We can truthfully bear testimony to that, because there is no other explanation for his change of heart. We just got to witness it, but the Lord and His people did everything else. It’s for moments and experiences and souls like this for why Jesus Christ performed the Atonement. The worth of every soul is great. Thank you for all of your help in bringing this family home to our Father. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.<br />

<br />
We met with Elder Ronald A. Rasband - Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Bishop W. Christopher Waddell - 2nd Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric, Elder L. Whitney Clayton - Senior President of the Presidency of the Seventy and Elder Robert M. Call - Fifth Quorum of the Seventy member. Each missionary was privileged to shake the hands of all the general authorities. Words are inadequate to express the powerful experience we all had as we were instructed by the brethren and taught by the spirit. We were told to listen and to let our thoughts and impressions teach us the things we individually needed. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Ask your missionary what they felt the highlights of the meeting were - how it was especially meaningful for them.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Some of the highlights: President and Sister Rasmussen bore powerful testimonies along with Elder Rex and Sister Ericson. Elder Call shared his feelings about reading his missionary journal recently. His memories of his mission are that it was wonderful, but it seemed all he wrote about in his journal was how hard it was and all the difficulties. He referred to D&C 93. Struggle is natural. Difficulties = Wonderful!<br />

Bishop Wadell referred to D&C138: 56 "Even before they were born, they, with many others, received their first lessons in the world of spirits and were prepared to come forth in the due time of the Lord to labor in his vineyard for the salvation of the souls of men." Our "Due Time" is now!<br />
We were born to serve here and now and to serve under the direction of President Rasmussen.<br />
He told of a talk he gave at the MTC about "<u>Serving</u> on a Mission" vs I "<u>Went</u> on a Mission". Serve in the vineyard, don't just go to the vineyard. Look outward instead of inward. 3rd Nephi 17 - our role as missionaries is not to heal them, but to bring them. We invite all to come unto Christ. Invite them- Christ heals them!<br />

Elder Rasband commented on how many key holders there were in our meeting, and explained some of the different keys held by the leaders of the Federal Way Mission, the Federal Way Stake and the General Authorities.<br />
<br />
If the prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, were here he would say two things to you; "I love you" and "thank you". <br />
<br />
Prior to the meeting, all missionaries were given the opportunity to read and study Elder Rasband's talk given in 2010 General Conference when he was a member of the Presidency of the Seventy "The Divine Call of a Missionary". (We encourage you to read and study the talk yourself. It carries a powerful message.) <br />
He reminded us that our families are sacrificing with us for a season as we serve the Lord. President Monson calls missionaries, a member of the quorum of the 12 apostles assigns missionaries, and President Rasmussen also assigns missionaries as transfers and new opportunities happen.<br />
Elder Rasband told us to not "whine about our assignment"! Doctrine and Covenants 109: 22-23.<br />
Help "all" to come unto Christ. Whatever area we are assigned to, whatever companion we are assigned are all inspired decisions. No whining! *Commit to being obedient missionaries*!<br />
Learn everything you can about Christ - topical guide has 57 topics under "Christ".<br />
Elder Rasband said the formula for success is the more you know Him,<br />
the more you love Him,<br />
the more you will want to serve Him!<br />
Serve the Lord out of Love! He asked us "Will you strive to be obedient, 100% obedient missionaries out of love for Jesus Christ?"<br />
<br />
The day of hastening the work of salvation is here - Doctrine and Covenants 88:73.<br />

We are so thankful to Elder and Sister Young for their incredible service as our vehicle coordinator and referral secretary. Everything ran so smoothly under their direction! They are loved by all, and will be dearly missed. Replacing the Youngs are the Nydeggers - Elder Nydegger will be the new vehicle coordinator, and Sister Nydegger will be the new referral secretary. We are so happy to be serving in the best mission in the church! We look forward to helping our missionaries bring others to Jesus Christ.<br />

<strong><u>Message from Sister Rasmussen</u></strong>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
President Rasmussen and I are so happy to be in the Washington Federal Way Mission. We felt at home here from the day we opened our call. We have spent some time in this area as we have friends on Mercer Island. We arrived on June 30th and spent a couple of hours with President and Sister Eaton before taking over. We are getting our feet on the ground but still have much to learn. The time has gone by quickly as we have completed the first round of most of the major mission activities: Mission Leadership Council, "Meet the President" tour of the mission where we met every missionary the first week, Interviews, Mission Devotional, Transfers and Zone Conference. The next experience we are awaiting is the visit from a general authority and that will be in November.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<u><strong>Zone Conference</strong></u>: </blockquote>
<br /><br />
We had our first Zone Conference a couple of weeks ago. It is always good to get valuable information and reminders from Elder and Sister Draney who serve as our nurse and health specialists. They keep us safe and healthy so we can teach repentance and baptize converts. Elder Draney gave us great tips for emotional and mental well being while Sister Draney taught us how to keep our bodies happy. She had great tips for us when we get sick.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Elder Young reminded us of safe driving practices like the 4 second rule when following a car and the plea to wax our cars because a "clean car always runs better". The companionship in each zone who has the cleanest car (as judged by the office Elders) get the "Golden Plates award". That includes a license plate cover with "Golden Plates Award" on their car and the real prize of <u>100 extra miles</u>. </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Sister Rasmussen taught about not being too self-critical and relying on your companion, district leaders and zone leaders to help you when you are struggling. They often have had the same struggles in the mission and can make suggestions to help you. We talked about the tasks required to keep a clean apartment. We like to call this "candy for cleaning". If you have completed a certain task then you received a mini candy bar. Some Elders and Sisters really cleaned up and others will hopefully do better next time. After a couple of conferences we could predict who would stand up as the tasks were announced. It seems some Elders don't have much of a clue when it comes to bathrooms and dusting. We would all laugh when the question was asked, "Who cleaned their bathroom in the last week?" and all the Sisters stood up but no Elders. There may have been 3 Elders who dusted within the last week in the entire mission. In addition to the bathrooms and dusting the other tasks they were asked about were if they had cleaned out the fridge in the last two weeks, changed your sheets in the last two weeks, swept your floor in the last week, done your laundry in the last week, mopped or vacuumed in the last week, left no dishes in your sink that day and made your bed that day.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
President Rasmussen taught about working with Stakes and Wards. The role of missionaries in ward council and with the bishop were discussed with an emphasis on working with members. Our goal in this mission is to always ask the ward and stake leaders as well as members, "What can we do to help you with your missionary work?" Missionaries can help ward members be more comfortable discussing the gospel with friends and family by teaching them some of our techniques. </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Every missionary was given a booklet from the church entitled "<em>Safeguards for Using</em> <em>Technology</em>". It teaches life lessons on how to stay safe on mobile devices and computers. (No, they did not come with iPads - which was the first question they asked! We don't know when that will happen, if ever. They are still in the pilot stage.) These are lessons all of us need to learn when we live in the world of technology. We must learn to stay safe in the cyber world.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Stake Relief Society served a delicious lunch. We are blessed to have nine strong Stakes in our Federal Way Mission that serve the missionaries with cheerful hearts. After lunch President Rasmussen discussed Spencer W. Kimball's teachings on <em>Faith</em> <em>Precedes the Miracle. </em>We watched a video talk by Bishop Waddell which taught the Lord's pattern in the gospel. It is Faith, Repentance, Baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost. It is stated in our missionary purpose which is to <em>Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. </em>You can't have a complete repentance without faith in Jesus Christ and his Atonement. You can't become a member of the church without baptism. It must be after you have developed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Only then can you have a true repentance. Then we practiced teaching repentance by first teaching faith. We hope building this faith in our converts first will bring complete repentance and a true conversion that leads to baptism.</blockquote>

One of the best parts of Zone Conference is when we get to hear testimonies from those who will depart home before the next conference. It is always so faith building to hear their thoughts about their missions. We will miss each and every one of them but pray for their continued success as they return and move forward in their lives.</div>

<strong><u>Temple Trip</u></strong>: We have recently added a new activity for the departing missionaries before they return home after successfully completing their missions. All departing missionaries along with President and Sister Rasmussen and President and Sister Layman (1st counselor in the mission presidency) attended a session in the Seattle Temple. On Saturday morning President and Sister Rasmussen began at 6:00 a.m. picking up missionaries in the south part of the mission and drove north with the twelve passenger van, stopping to pick up 10 missionaries before heading to the temple. It was a great experience to be together in the temple. Missionaries have been able to attend one time a year so this was a special day for them. We were spiritually fed as we continue to learn with each session we are able to attend.</div>

Thank you for your support of your missionaries as they diligently serve the Lord with all their heart, might, mind and strength. The positive letters they receive from home buoy them up. Letters from missionaries are a great way to build the testimonies of family members at home. Your spiritual letters to them can be a source of testimony building for them too. Keep them coming!<br />
