Crazy (but Good) Week!


Hello everyone! What a crazy week. I pre-apoligize for my grammar and
spelling. There is a lot to write, so I am going to be writing really
fast!

Firstly, we had a zone conference this Wednesday. What an amazing day.
One thing that I really liked was President's remarks. He said, "A
trial of your faith can help you strengthen your commitment to serve
our Heavenly Father." How true that is. What an awesome week it has
been, and I know that everything that I went through really did
strengthen my desire to be a missionary. It was an amazing day.
Learned so much. We are starting this program in our mission called
"Just Serve." It is something that I am so excited about. We are going
to be doing a lot more service, and really getting to get out there
and help the people. I know that it truly is the way to be able to
best utilize our time here, and can't wait to get started.

A lot of squealing occurred. I love this girl so much! It was so good to see her!

So Thursday, we had to take this survey online at the library. Well, the internet was down, so while we were waiting on an answer from the
zone leaders on what we were supposed to do, the 5 of us went down the
street and got carmel apples at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. We
then went and ate them in the park. So naturally I have a ton of
pictures from that.

Saturday morning was when all crazy-ness broke loose. Right after studies, we got a call from the zone leaders telling us that Hermana
Howell was being emergency transferred to Pismo Beach, and that we
were going to have to drive her down to Arroyo Grande on Sunday
morning. So basically Saturday was a ton of crazy. There were two
things that Hermana Howell wanted to do before she left, get Jamba
Juice, and Pizza. So obvously we had to do both of those on Saturday.
I realize the amount of food pictures that I am sending home. No
regrets.

A lotta pizza!

Dropping off Hermana Howell!

So, Since I don't have a TIWI card yet (the card to use to log in to
be able to drive,) when we dropped off Hermana Howell, we weren't
going to be able to drive. So the Quote of the week goes to my Zone
Leader, Elder Atkin, who said, "I can't believe I am going to say
this, but you have permission to unplug TIWI." We couldn't figure it
out, so an Arroyo Grande Elder did it for us. Obviously we took pictures.

Anyway. So now it is just me and Hermana Jeronimo chillin'
like villans here in Paso Robles. She was being back up trained by
Hermana Howell, so now I am back-up-back-up training her. It is so
crazy. I am so grateful she is such an amazing missionary. She is
teaching me so much. We are working on speaking all Spanish, all the
time, and it is helping me so much.

I am so excited to see what will
happen these last few weeks of this transfer. I am so grateful to know
that Heavenly Father truly has a plan for me, because otherwise, this
could all be really crazy. I will send a lot of pictures.


I love you all.

Stay awesome.
