Awww.... a pole

Hola Mamacita!

About the Burgoynes, I'm pretty sure it's fine, I could send them an email or something with my phone # and I could talk to them then. I got a wedding announcement from Emily and a graduation announcement from Esther, so that's pretty cool! You can send me Cedric's address, when is he going home? 

Haha so this week was pretty crazy, but super great! So last Sunday, our Zone Leaders texted us and said that the wanted to commit the zone to bike at least twice a week. Challenge accepted! On Monday night after P-day, Hna. Burke and I wanted to start out strong with that commitment and bike to one of our appointments. Well it turns out that the bike I was riding had two flat tires so we rode over to the other Hermana's house and tried to pump it. Well the pump was broken. So we called the ZLs to ask if they could take our bikes home, we called the APs to see if they could bring my bike here from south Sac and we got a ride home from a member. :P The ZLs were nice enough to fill the bike with air so that we wouldn't have any more trouble with. On Tuesday we went out to the car to head out to a lunch appointment. Our car died (we have no idea why), so we biked 5 miles to get to our appointment. The APs said they were coming by with the bike at 2 and we also asked if they could jump our car. So we started biking back. About half through our journey I hit a curb wrong, and trying to miss a parked car I swerved to the right and I ran into a sign :P (as seen in the picture). Haha it was pretty funny. I jumped back up, ready to go! and I broke the bike... Aww man! So we were on foot the rest of the way home while the APs were waiting for us with my bike and a jumper cable box-thing. 

Later during the week, we took the bike to someone that fixes up the mission's bikes and now we have it working great! I'm hoping this week we will ride smoothly! Haha 

We also went on exchanges! with the Hermanas in North Sac and I got to go there again! I was a lot of fun. When I got home the night before I was really tired, so we just planned and did the usual routine for going to bed. The next morning I walked in the kitchen and saw Sister Schow. I said, "Sister Schow!" and she said, "SISTER TWITCHELL!" with her arms wide open for a hug. "Why didn't you come and talk to me last night?" Aww man! I completely forgot to say good night to sis. Schow! Haha she is so cute! She always makes me feel so loved!

Yesterday, we dropped our most progressing investigator, Brenda (see picture). Missionaries have been visiting her for 4 months and she still hasn't been able to come to church. Yesterday during sacrament meeting, Hna Burke and I prayerfully came to the decision that we needed to let her go. It was very hard and many tears were shed, but we know that it was the right thing to do. She will come be baptized one day I know it! 

We have been finding a lot of new people to teach and we are soooo excited!! The Lord has blessed us so much!!! We might not see a baptism this transfer, but our efforts are not wasted! I love this work! even though at times it can be very hard. The fruits of our efforts and the joy of all the blessings surpasses all pain we might ever feel.
