Eatonville Exchanges

March 15, 2021

Hello friends,

This transfer is going by sooo fast! Transfer calls are in like two weeks which is nuts. I've been having a good time in Sunrise though and we've been teaching a good amount. When the work is good... life is good haha

We had exchanges with the Eatonville elders this week which was a lot of fun. I got to be with Elder Paxton for the day and that guys the best. This was actually my first overnight exchange I've done in the mission so far (because I've always lived with the DL/ZL). Exchanges are always a good experience. We did lots of service for different members and nonmembers in the area. We also went to this really cool thrift store and organized clothes and books for them. We had dinner with the Litzenburgers and they are so funny. Great people in Eatonville.

I also got to do my first baptismal interview and it was really cool. Her names Mariah and she was getting taught by the Eatonville sisters. She is so elect and the interview was bomb. The spirit was really strong too which is always a plus :)

Spiritual thought for the week: I am reading in Alma for my personal studies right now and I came across the story of Ammon and I think he's the goat. One of my all time favorite scriptures is Alma 26:12 and it talks about Ammon and the importance of humility. I love the example Ammon was to all of us. When he was brought before the king he was offered tons of Gold and Silver and even the kings daughter, but the only thing Ammon wanted was to be a servant. Relating that experience to now a days, I think if we all had the desire to be the Lords servant FIRST, then everything else would fall into place and we'd be happier and healthier. I love serving the Lord and changing my desires to match His. I am happier because of it. Love y'all
