I like how dramatic Rebekah is about going home when I have less time left than she does. I’m honestly hoping I can see at least one more baptism before I go home. As soon as Christmas lights starts I’m only going to have around 3 hours in my area every day. The rest of my time is going to be studying, eating, and the visitors center. Hna Watkins is full field so we haven’t been in the visitor center since transfer day but we go back on Thanksgiving the day Christmas Lights start. Continue reading “bikes are slow”
The Minute He Died
Something always seems to happen when I am about to start writing and then all of a sudden I don’t feel like writing anymore… Not at all. I feel terrible. I only have two transfers left.

Freezing in AZ
Well, I am pretty sick today. Hna Noble is getting transferred out of the area. I’m getting a full field sister. Hna Watkins her dad is serving as a mission president in San Jose, California. I am also going on bikes for the first time in my mission. I told Elder Nielsen (he’s in charge of cars and bikes) that there was no way I was buying a bike for 2 transfers. I also called him crying and recounted the story of the one day I spent on bikes in Valencia. He told me he’d find me a bike, make sure it fits me, and then teach me how to ride it.

A Wedding & Two Baptisms
Aw man… I was trying to think of things to write but I forgot again… I admit I was kind of freaking out when they announced that 19-yr-olds can serve missions now because I know that Hannah will be gone by the time I get home. I think James will be too. 🙂 Which is pretty AWESOME it’s just gonna make going home even weirder… And to answer Dad’s question… no… still don’t know when I’m going home…I was thinking it was the beginning of February because that’s what some Elders said, but I found out that Sis Ellis is going home and the transfers of January are about 15th of January so I will be going home probably about the middle/end of February after all. Not sure. But if you guys aren’t comin to get me you don’t need to know when I finish. I’ll just SURPRISE everyone when I come home…

This is Halloween
Sorry, I don’t have any time to write now because I spent forever uploading photos. Sis Kranendonk is always really good about taking photos and this is the first pday we’ve had with her this transfer besides the day of zone activity. There’s a picture of almost all the zone in their costumes. I was the mission president’s wife, and Hna Noble was some purple caped villain. She wanted to be a dinosaur but it didn’t really work out.
On Halloween day we had district meeting, then went to help a member make day of the dead bread, and then visited Dulce for a bit. Continue reading “This is Halloween”
two families got wet
So… YAY!!! THE ORELLANAS AND THE GUERRAS GOT BAPTIZED!!
I think the Orellana family was the most-taught investigators that I’ve had that actually got baptized. I think it was a little over two months, maybe three that we were teaching them and they finally got baptized! 🙂 I really thought we were going to drop them because Brother Orellana got drunk two Sundays in a row so I thought he wasn’t going to do what he had to do to stop, and I was worried about Sister Orellana because she didn’t seem to understand one true church because she kept going to this other church… But after they were married, you could see and feel a huge difference in them.
how to baptize
Ready for the huge miracle for this week?
I don’t think you’re ready for this.
But I’m going to tell you because I’m running out of computer time.

the wild bush
Well, I also don’t feel that much like writing, eh? That’s why I uploaded photos to send so it wouldn’t be so boring.Unfortunately the send button has mysteriously stopped working… I guess I’ll have to borrow sis Duarte’s computer to send this in a bit. Continue reading “the wild bush”
doorbell ditching
I don’t feel like writing an email this week. I’m trying to talk Hna Noble into forwarding part of her email to me to send. I have been sickish for a while, but today it’s a lot worse. I think it’s because Hna Noble and I were trying to clean the house today and there’s so much dust. We live with members so, usually we just stick with our bedroom and bathroom, but they’re out of town for a funeral so we decided to try and clean up for them while they’re gone. Progress is slow so far, and I coughed up some black stuff afterwards. I’m assuming it’s dust. Continue reading “doorbell ditching”
Try not to sleep….
How come your emails have been coming on Wednesday lately?
We just have had lots of weird weeks. We still write on Tuesdays, it’s just that last week the Asisstents came so they went over in our Zone meeting and so we wrote with Elder Zepeda on Wednesday instead of Tuesday since that was the day he was visiting with us.
