Its one of the best days of the week again!!!!! HI:D

So first of all, I am not getting transfered. BUT my companion is! Crazyness!!! We have transfer meeting on wednesday so we are going up to tempe and I will find out who it is up there. There are only 10 spanish sisters so the choices are few. Kind of exciting though! Just to give you an idea of why this is crazy.....this new companion is going to expect me to know the area super well because I have been here for 2 transfers already. BUT--lets face it, everyone knows I am AWFUL at directions. And 3 months is not a whole lot of time to get to know a 25 mile across area. We have depended on Hermana T's GPS a lot, so this should be an interesting transfer :) haha, I am super excited though!

Well this last week was super good. Some of our investigators are Progessing like LL and E, and some are not.  E'sfamily is getting ready to move (don't worry, they will still be in our ward...but I think it is in the Elders area) so we haven't had many lessons with her this week just because they are super busy. We went over on thanksgiving and help them a little bit and it was SO FUN!

Last monday, the english sisters that we live with, went on splits with us. I stayed in our spanish area and Sister T went to the other area for the day. I was super nervous about it because Sister P doesn't speak spanish so I was going to have to teach pretty much by my self. It ended up being one of the best days on my mission. I know a lot more spanish than I thought I did. We talked to a bunch of people outside and had 3 lessons and it was sweet. Still have lots to learn so I can teach better in spanish, but Heavenly Father is helping me out a lot. There is no way I could have done that day by myself :D

We just finished up the 12 week training that we had to do for an hour a day. Also now that I have been out for 2 transfers, we only get 30 minutes of spanish study a day instead of an hour. Thats an extra hour and a half of work! I sm super excited!

I love you and miss you all so much. I am so grateful for this opportunity to be a servant of the Lord and to teach the everlasting gospel to these amazing people. I know that this Church is the true church of God and that through it and the gospel of Jesus Christ we recieve so many blessings in this life and the life after. The best part of being a missionary is telling people about the blessings they can recieve if they chose to follow the example of Jesus christ in this life. Can you imagine living one day not knowing that families can be together forever?! Well I know that it is true. It is all true. Thanks mom and dad for teaching me the gospel and raising me in a home where I got to learn that. IT. IS. AWESOME!
