Now I Know I Can Do Anything...Without Throwing Up

Hello there, 

Thank you for the wonderful emails. I print them out and read them all day on Monday. I can only read and write letters on Mondays...yep. HAhah!! But I can open packages every day...hint hint! 

It sounds like you are doing wonderful, sick, and well living life to the fullest. I am so glad that you are all apart of my life can I say that anymore then I do??? Hahah, I will always. We are blessed because we know the gospel of Jesus Christ and we LIVE it. It's okay that we are not perfect, that is what the atonement is for. Man I am so churchy... Hahah! 

My life as a missionary 

Alarm goes off...we kneel we pray. I put in my contacts. We run and I conspire to take a nap during the "1 hour" of get ready time....I eat and pray I get dressed and ready for the day... I pray I study and search the scriptures...We pray we sing we study we share...we go out we talk to people...we get rejected 100 times and accepted 1 time. We pray. We rejoice we eat we share messages. We pray. We plan. We study. We get ready for bed. We pray, we sleep.  REPEAT the next day! 

SO there is an idea of how I spend everyday of my life. :) it is lovely and hard. But I remind myself of why I am here and who's mission I am on. And that I can change someones life. 

I am doing well. I am trying to stay focused. It has been difficult this week. I miss you all so much. It's hard for me. But the WORK will keep me focused. We are having dinner with a couple this evening they have met with the missionaries for 22 years aka my whole life. And they have yet to be baptized. So we are praying we can help them. They are so sweet and nice. Everyone we visit with is very nice. We have hard times but we keep the faith that the Lord will lead us to them or them to us! 

Thank you all for your email. I pray for you each individually. I know that I am supported by all of you. When I am weak I think of you and I grow stronger. We are strong people! We can do anything. 

On Mom's Birthday I felt her so close to me. I know she is so close to me and that she loves us each so much. I am so glad that OUR family is forever. 

This is the true and everlasting gospel. It is true and I cannot deny it. I know that Heavenly Father loves me and knows me by name. I know that my Savior lives.

I love you all. 

Keep the faith! 

Love always, Sister Rasmussen

The Mission Field

1st day

-got to the mission home

-started to freak the freak out

-learned 1,000 different things 

-had a dinner not from the MTX :) FINALLY 

-WENT TEACHING ON DAY #1

and it was simply amazing I realized that it doesn't' need to be a big deal. Cause I just love people and I am telling them the truth and stuff. 

Day 1

-WHAT the FREAK did I get myself into??? Bhahhaha!!! Real life

-Our car broke down....so day 1 I was walking around the streets of Central Point. I was like what is this LIFE?

Then all of a sudden  a miracle happened....We met a nice older man! He is an older gentlemen and we talked to him and he was like I LOVE MORMONS and we were like hey! Let us teach you. So we are going back tomorrow. 

Day 2 

- Wanted to cry 6 times it was a little harder

-We visited with more people

- I got stressed cause I have to memorize things, but I have prayed so hard and guess what???? I am super fast at it now! YIPPPE! 

- We visited with more people and man I love people and the Lord loves them

-got my iPad set up 

-WE GOT OUR CAR BACK

All the REST of the days

- So here iss the thing... I love you. I cannot express how much I love you. Real life I've seen some families and they are lovely and God loves them. But they are not you all. SO thank you for being you and for choosing to STICK with the it and to endure to the END. We know it isn't easy but it is ALWAYS WORTH IT! Thank you. 

- I saw a big old CAT it was like a huge dog but it was a cat....meow

- We are teaching and visiting and we are sharing the gospel with others. I love visiting with people. Also it's like hey this older generation are my friends and that is true. 

IPAD 

- I just had to go on a mission to get an iPad....Oh how the Lord has blessed me :) It is very handy! 

Companion 

-She is 19 

-She is a dancer :) 

- She is very patient with me 

-She is super cute 

My message. Weak things will be made strong. Real life! I mean I could not do any of this without the Lord. So ask in faith for what you are seeking and you will find it and you will be blessed. Put in the effort and he will bless you. 

I love you all so very much. Keep praying for me. THANK you for your love and support!! 

Keep the FAITH! 

Love ALWAYS,
