Hola
Mamacita!
I'm not sure that I'll
be able to write a long email, but I have tons of pictures! You'll love it! So
first I have this picture with Elder Milner and Elder Kastigar giving me my
package on Saturday haha thanks for all the candy, I'm making sure other people
help me eat it :P There's me and Hna Flores, yes she is Philipino!

Last Wednesday
we went to the mission office to pick up Hna. Clark's trainee (Hna. Stevens)
and for me to wait for Hna Flores and Kaaa. I got to go to the new missionary ceremony to
see them meet their trainers; it was so fun! I saw Hermana McCloud (one of my
coworkers at the MTC)! It was so good to see hna Kaaa before she went down to
Stockton! I also had to take a picture of our beloved car, Shaniqua, a ford
fusion. It's so beautiful! I loved driving the Chevy cruze, but the Ford is
amazing! We call it the AP car because only them, us, and our zone leaders have
a ford fusion in the mission. :P
So I know what my area
is called and what my boundaries are after being here for a few days. We are
the Del Norte Ward, East Sac Carmichael area. We don't even cover the East
Sacramento stake, but we do cover pretty much the whole entire Carmichael
stake. It's so weird! We went to Deseret book and the DI and we've driven past
Mukuni's and have stopped by the mission office. We border the Folsom stake. Oh my, it's crazy!
I'm pretty sure also that the Folsom 2nd ward goes to church in my area.
:)
So far I am loving this
area! We haven't done too much proselyting with all the service we did on Friday
and Saturday, but it is such a nice area. We went outside for a walk for one of
our morning workouts and it was so great! In Sacramento, we wouldn't have dared
to go for a walk. But here oh yes we can!
There are 20 people in
our zone, 8 of them are sisters! It's really weird working around sisters :P
but it's fun! There are 2 sets of Elders and 2 sets of Hermanas in our ward for
a total of 8 missionaries serving in the Del Norte ward. A lot of missionaries! It is so much fun! Hna
Burke is over the central East sac area with her trainee, Hna. Greenfield. I've
seen her every single day since I've been here, it is SO much fun!!! A little
too much fun. We've gone out to lunch and dinner, meetings, and service! It's
so fun to be with her again!
On Friday night our zone
went out to Leatherby's after service and Hna Burke and I shared a sundae. It
was so good!
We had
a huge service project with the CDA on Friday and Saturday form 1-7pm at the
Cal Expo. It was basically to give dental services to those who can't afford
it. Our job was to escort people around or take them to their car and make sure
they knew what they were doing or where they were going. If we knew another
language we wore yellow shirts so that people could just grab us to help
translate. I don't know any dental terms! Haha it was great! There were a ton
of Hispanics there so there was a lot of translating to be done, it was a lot
of fun! I love being in the states, because there are so many translating
service opportunities. Translating hurts my head, but it's great! It's cool to
see how much I comprehend. There were so many missionaries there from about 6
different zones (almost half the mission). It was so great to see a bunch of
missionaries that I have served with. The Sacramento zone came so I got to be
with Hna. Clark!
Hna Flores and I doing weekly planning! Hna Flores is super awesome! she has been out almost a year, she is such a sweet person, I am very excited to be working with her!
I had to take a picture with the woman that we are living with, Sister Scow! She is 84 years old and she is so cute! I love living in her home! We live in Carmichael but she attends a ward in the East Sacramento Stake.
I have to go, but I love you the most! Thanks so much for the package and for not trying too hard to find me :P
Para Siempre Dios este con Vos
Con Amor,
Hermana Twitchell
We were in Sacramento for the weekend for Jacelyn's blessing we kept asking all the missionaries if they knew Autumn. They had all seen her on Saturday at the service project. We were also able to go to the temple it was so nice. Beautiful area
