So to start off on I gave a talk on Sunday in the ward. It was on how to prepare to invite others to come unto Christ. I don't know what I said I just let the spirit guide.

So this week has been great! Been working a lot with the ward. That is such a blessing! They all love having sisters in the ward. They haven't had sisters for 20+ years......I have been getting feed everyday this month so far and the calendar is filled up all the way. 

We started meeting with this girl named Alyssa and she is awesome. She is Christian and she is willing to learn more she knows that God loves her. She really is ready and I hope wiling to be baptized. Well she is awesome. we have also been getting and going to the less actives and helping out there. The ward is going to help out with what they can.

 On Friday we went up to Port Orchard where Sister Johnston served because this 72 year old lady got baptized!! She (sister Johnston) helped out a lot with the process of everything. It was amazing to see a baptism!!  Saturday the young women came over to help decorate our house. We are making it look more like a house of the Lord and more Christ centered. I don't know if I told you that when we walked in there was coffee vinyl letters in the kitchen.....we fixed it up and made it look cute. :) 

Saturday night the stake put on this Joseph Smith play/musical called One Life. it was good. we had a great time watching it and saw a few members of my ward there (desuttes river) 

I love the work of the lord! its so great to be here on a mission! Like what President Clark from byu-i would say "its a great day to be here at "Tacoma, Washington" I love it so much! there is so much that needs to be done but also so much that has been done already!

Tracking has been getting harder and harder for one thing is that it gets dark at 6ish!! Its crazy!! Its so hard to see at night especially when I am driving!! But we came to the conclusion that I will not drive at night because its so hard for me to see and sister Johnston can see a lot better than I can!!! There is so much love here for everyone!

One thing there are spiders EVERYWHERE!! No joke! Every house has at least one spider by the door!! Haven't seen any really big ones yet!!

Its so hard to see people all the time and have them not realize  that there is so much out there that they are missing with the gospel and everything else!!

They don't realize that they need Christ in their lives! Its so sad!

Cool thing is that everyone in this ward reminds me of some of everyone back at home!! It makes it feel more home like!!

This gospel is true! I know that. I have seen a few miracles too many in just one day!! There is so much happiness in missionary work! It is a hard thing to do but I am learning and getting used to it!

I hope all is well with everyone! I love you all! You all really have been a great example in my life!!

Love you!

love sister Tanner :)
