Tiffany is now in Seattle Washington

Tiffany is now in the Mission Field. She left the MTC at 5:00 am (early!) on Tuesday, June 16th to go to Seattle Washington. Her flight left Salt Lake at 8:00 am. I have updated her address on the right with the mission home address. I will update this address whenever it changes. I know that she would love to get letters from everyone. I will also let you know how she is doing as soon as I hear from her.

"Well, I'm not so sure h0w well my Spanish is coming along, but Thursday was the last time I got to teach in English. Next week we have to teach the entire first lesson (about the restoration) in espanol. Muy deficil. (very hard). :) But I know the Lord will help me. This week we read about Enoch - and we all know Enoch was a prophet and that his city was translated and everyone in it was taken up to Heaven. Well in Moses 6:31, when Enoch was first called as a prophet, he asks the Lord, why did you choose me? I am just a lad and I am slow of speech. The Lord replies to him in verses 32 - 34, "Open thy mouth and it shall be filled... for all flesh is in my hands... and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me." I love this scripture. The Lord loves us! What an amazing comfort and blessing for the Lord to ask Enoch "therefore walk with me." I want to live so that someday the Lord will invite me "therefore walk with me. "

Oh, and I haven't gotten a chance to call my investigator back yet. But I did get to call another lady. I talked to her about the restoration for like 30 minutes. She was really into it and was believing that it could have happened until I told her about the Book of Mormon and she suddenly stopped me to ask if we are Christian. I hopefully explained that we are. She still seemed open to hearing more and she said that it's okay if I send the missionaries over with a copy of the Book of Mormon.

Well, I love you all. I want you to know this really is the gospel and church of Christ restored on this earth! Heavenly Father loves us and wants nothing more than for us to be truly and eternally happy - Moses 1:39. And we can always go to the Lord if we need anything. The Savior knows everything we have ever gone through or will ever go through so He can strengthen us if we will go to Him! Alma 7:11-13, Ether 12:27."

"I can't believe that is has already been one month, exactly today actually! Can you? Time here has just been flying by. I love it here. I get to learn so much everyday from the most amazing teachers, and on top of that I get to hear from a general authority every Tuesday. For the last two weeks we've had members of the quorum of the 12, which I guess is almost unheard of - to have two members of the quorum of the 12 right in a row. Wow. And to top it all off, as if that weren't enough, I have probably got the best companions in the world. We get along so well. Sister Wilkins has got an amazing voice - it is nice while we are walking somewhere or getting ready in the morning. Sister Hine is so easy to talk to.. she's the kind of person that you just sit next to and don't even have to know and feel like you can tell her your whole life story. I think I am going to be so sad when it comes time to head to Washington because I will miss them both. But in the same respect I also am way pumped to go out and teach people. Brother Richardson, my teacher, is a big Michael Jordan fan and told us this quote that he has from him, it goes "I fail over and over again, and that is why I succeed". We have to be willing to make the mistakes in order to be able to have great success. I think that Michael Jordan is probably one of the best examples of success (even though I'm still not happy they beat the Jazz in the NBA championship that year) :)

This week next Thursday is going to be the first time we have to teach the entire lesson in espanol... I am so nervous! I know that I know more than I think I do (did that even make any sense?) because when we have to do different tasks like teach someone how to pray, I do ok but I am still really nervous. Speaking of teaching someone how to pray, yesterday we had another TRC visit. This time we were supposed to teach someone the plan of salvation and the word of wisdom. Our lesson was really long. It flowed better than the week before but it stilll wasn't the best. I don't think I did as well as I could've but both Sister Wilkins and Sister Hine came out of the TRC asking me how I could teach so well. I guess that just shows how much the spirit was doing the teaching and not me. I definitely am not that good of a teacher. Both of my comps are probably better than me. I have such a hard time remembering scripture references when I want to share one with the person we are teaching, but both of them are actually really good at that. I am trying really hard to be better at that. It's really hard since I am also trying to learn Spanish at the same time. I guess that's why I need the Lord's help so much to do it. Can you all pray for me to be able to bring to my mind the scripture references I need when I need them? I think I am going to need all the help I can get for a while :)

I still want all of you to know that I really know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the same church that Christ set up while he was on the earth restored again. And that the only way to return to live with our Heavenly Father is to abide by it's teachings. I am so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ!"
