My dearest family,
So today we had transfers. I really thought that I was
going to be staying in Anaheim with sister Longoria but she got transfered out.
Sister Minert is my new companion and she came out the
same time as hermana Longoria. Eric did you ever meet her in the MTC? Sister
Henrie got her visa on Wednesday and is on her way to Spain right now.
This
week was great and super busy. Our area just grew a lot because the borders
changed and I guess we have many of the Elders investigators now. We have been
teaching the _______ family and they are doing really well. The dad really wants
his whole family to listen to us and always has them come in when we come over.
We have been very blessed to be able to teach a lot of families recently.
This
week we had zone meeting which was so good!
The assistants basically just talked about how we can help the
missionaries and this mission. They also focused a lot on teaching families and
working with the members in the ward. I am excited for this transfer and for
the exchanges that I will get to go on with the sisters. We didn't have any new Spanish sisters come in this transfer but there were a bunch of English ones.
It is so cool that so many sisters are coming out now!
Well this week we had a
ward activity that the missionaries were in charge of. The Elders did the lesson
and we did the activity. We couldn't think of anything to do and didn't have
much time at all and somehow we decided to play balloon volleyball with the
families. I was worried that it wouldn't turn out, but they ended up loving it.
It was sooo funny to watch! We had about 10 balloons and all of the members were really getting
into it. I wish I got it on video because it was so funny!!
Last night we went to a street that most of our
investigators live on, and I guess right before we got there, someone drove by
and was shooting at the apartments. There were a bunch of kids and teens
outside, but luckily I don't think anyone ended up getting hurt. There were
police everywhere and everyone told us to get out of there because they thought the
guys might come back. As we were driving away we heard some more shots which
was scary but I really hope everyone was OK That's the street that all the
interesting crazy stuff happens on... too bad we are teaching so many people
there...haha! But no worries we are safe! I love being here and know that this is the
Lords work. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and am so grateful for the
Atonement in my life. Thanks for everything, love you all! :)
That is soooo amazing to hear that Kelsey is going on a
mission!!!!! I can't stop smiling because I am so happy for her. It is such a
life changing experience and she is absolutely going to love it! She will make
an amazing missionary too. I can't wait to hear where she is going!! :) Also,
Christina and Erica Marley are going too!! That is so awesome!!!! That's pretty
cool that Christy and her husband are moving into our ward. They are going to
love Bend! :) Mom, fast tract sounds good. I think that would be smart to do. I
bet I could get a little job there too and work before I go. Also that's funny
that you got Just Dance. We are totally doing that together when I get home. :)
You are going to be my companion and I am going to follow you everywhere. I
hope that's OK with you. :) Sister Poulson is staying with us tonight and she
leaves the mission to go home tomorrow morning. Sister Breitenstein is here on
more transfer and she is companions with a 65 year old lady this transfer who
only speaks Spanish Cool huh? They didn't want to close the area because there
are so many sisters coming next transfer so they just had her come in for a
little bit. Well, that's about all the news this week! Love you! :)
