Sankyuus Kagen Williams Sankyuus He everyone I got my call to Spokane Washington. Does anyone have any info on how I can better prepare for this mission. I leave Aug 10 I could use the help. Rea the book of mormon inside out. And go on splits with the missionaryies in your area. I will try to do that but I only have 2 weeks left
Learn: Not everyone is ready to be taught everything, or even a hard version of things. Some people need to be babied and given watered down thing. Somethings take time, but true conversion is the aim, not just baptism. You dont wanna baptize people who are holding onto others testimonies and/or very weak testimonies. Chances are if that happens they could fall away if another set of missionaries come in and dont go to them as often because they are baptized. I saw this happen twice. Broke my heart gonk

whee I am totally excited for you. You will have a blast. Missions are great. Its an awesome opprotunity. I can not wait to go on my own in a year and a half or so whee
There is so much I could tell you to do. But I am sure you will learn it from your companions and you will figure it out on your own. 3nodding
When the times get rough with tracking, street contacting, appointments, there is nothing wrong with stopping and praying, even in a busy area, or having a pray in your heart during an appointment. That I think is the one thing that helped me the most on my two-week mini mission in Hasselt. I needed it I wasnt familiar with the dialect of dutch, pronounceations of alot of things totally whooped me. Those prayers always helped me through the few appointments we had.
There was one day, I think it was either a sunday or a saturday, we kept getting dawged. Out of the few appointments we had for the whole day, we were getting dawged left and right. It was a bad day, I stopped my companion and asked him if we could stop and pray. So we did. I kept that prayer in my heart and mind all day. When we arrived home that little pray gave me enough peace to recognize a strong prompting to go visit the lady the mission is renting an appartment from for Hasselt. I grabbed the first movie off the shelf and told my companion to come with me. We watched Finding Faith in Christ with her and it was an awesome spirital moment, which may not have happened had it not been for prayer to help us.

my brother left for the MTC not too long ago (going to Panama) and being the daughter of a Ward Mission Leader alot of missionaries come to visit the house for dinner and such. One of the most important things you can do is listen to the spirit, it will lead you aright its how my family got reactivated and I know its saved the lives of countless people outside of my family. Trust in God and all things will be for your good. I wish you the best of luck and God bless you, you'll do just fine me thinks.

I live in washington!
But western washinton, not eastern.
Eastern is a lot warmer then western, and right now it's pretty nice here, so it should be nice there?
To bad you didn't get called to the west, it's better over here.
West coast pride? xd
