March 18, 2019 - Temple trip with Reed!

This past Tuesday flew by. We left around 2:30pm to go with Reed, who is a recent convert, to the temple! We were able to go through the Visitor Center beforehand and had a wonderful experience there. Reed commented on the spirit there and how strong it was for him and we weren't even in the temple yet! He was able to perform sacred ordinances for many of his family members which was such a special experience.

We also had exchanges. I was with Elder Mathew's, he replaced me in Tillamook so he had a lot to fill me in on. We ended up sleeping over at the other elder’s apartment for the night because one of them was heading home early the next morning. So then we were in a trio for about 2 hours until we exchanged back. It's always nice to come back home even if it isn't home and be with familiar people.

Lincoln City has had some super nice weather and it has been absolutely beautiful. We have dropped a few people who weren't willing to progress or change their life around which is always sad but there are always new people who are ready!
We have a lady we are teaching who freaked out on us and was telling us that she's done because she's been called names and all of this other stuff, well later in that phone call we found out it was her family and not even anybody from the church so we were able to calm her down and we are still going to be teaching her. Pretty crazy because it all happened so fast and we had no idea what to do haha.

We got transfer calls late Saturday night and Elder Nelson will be leaving to Bend! He will be with one of my trainer’s Elder Ward! Super excited for him to go there because I've heard it is amazing. My new companion will be Elder Fish. He just barely got done being trained and I have no information on him other than that!

The Lord definitely knows who we are, each of us personally by name. We are each his children and he cares about us more than we will ever understand. Don't ever forget it!
