Is It Transfers Already?!

Wow. I can't believe how fast these last 6 weeks have gone. It is time

for transfers already! I am going to be "back up training" Hermana

Zarate, in Ojai. For those of you, like me, who before living here had

no idea where that was, it is only about 20 minutes north of where I

currently am in Santa Paula. It will be such an amazing experience. I

am staying here in the same Stake and Zone, too, which I am super

excited about.

Us with our Ward Mission Leader "Master Sargent Ennis" (He gave

himself that name.)

So Monday, I got a WRETCHED hair cut, which then resulted in an

AWESOME member hooking us up with her friend who owns a Salon here in

town who totally fixed my hair on Tuesday. It was a blast. Back to

short hair again, for now at least!

Halloween was awesome! We got to do a lot of service here at the local

community center helping them set up for their activity, and went to

the Ward Trunk-or-treat that night. It was a blast. Great Day.

Our Halloween service. We still have blisters from tying all those balloons!

The Elders halloween costume and trunk!

An awesome pumpkin from the Trunk-or-treat. It is Lehi's dream from 1

Nephi chapter 8. Hermana Shepherd ended up with it after a drawing and

a little bit of loving threats from the other missionaries.

So, as all of you know California has been in a huge draught. All

transfer, we have been praying for rain in every prayer. (Which is a

LOT of prayers.) But guess what happened Friday night? IT POURED. It

was a Halloween Miracle! (Is that a thing? Well, it is now.) Obviously

we went and played in it. It was awesome. It rained all day Saturday

too. It was great.

Playing in the rain!

Santa Paula is such a great area. I am sad to be going, but I know the

Lord puts me where I need to be when I need to be. This week, our

investigator, R., set himself with his own baptismal date for

the 15th of November. I am so excited to be able to still be in the

zone for that, and to be able to go (hopefully.) He is an amazing

investigator who is progressing a LOT. Last time we had talked he was

in Jacob 2, and now, about a month later, he is in Alma 62. Such an

amazing thing to witness. I will be praying fervently that he will

make it to his date. He is such an awesome man, and I have loved

teaching him.

I know I am probably forgetting something from this week, but I can't

think of what it is.

I love you all bunches, and hope you are all doing awesome!
