Not being transferred

¡Hola Mamacita!

This week has been great! This transfer has probably been the most uneventful transfer of my entire mission. I'm staying, my companions staying, woo! So we went to work and didn't have to think too much more of it. All the missionaries in our Ward are staying except for Elder Tena, but he just switched to English work to be our Zone Leader and his replacement is Elder Ortega, who I served with in Elk Grove a transfer ago. So not too much of a difference. Hna Kaaa was called to be a Sister Training Leader! But since Hnas Clark and Torres are staying here as STLs, Hna Kaaa is now in English work! Crazy! There weren't any Hermanas in English work last transfer, but now she's in English work and there's a trio of Hermanas somewhere in the mission. Fun stuff! 

So, I attached a picture of my schedule last week, so if you really want to know what happened, there it is! All the green boxes are trying to find people, all the blue are appointments we had. It's different on the iPad than on the little paper planners we used to have... I miss those. But the iPad is really useful! 

Last P-day, our district leader brought a bunch of Thai peppers for our zone to eat, so I also have a video of that, it was pretty funny, my companion was crying, another sister threw up later, everyone was rather red in the face. It was silly.

We are also going to the temple today! And I realized that I don't have more family names... Oops! I'm so excited though!

So a miracle happened on Sunday. First, the whole Ivarra Family came to church! It's been a struggle with them because ever since the kids were baptized, they've kind of lost the fire and desire to keep going. So we've been working with them a ton and we have been stressing going to all 3 hours of church! We might have to back up Jesus Ivarra's date because it's been harder to find a good time to come by his house and Jose just barely got an interview with the bishop about the priesthood. We'll see. The second miracle is that we came to church and the Pardo girls were already there. We asked them why they were there so early and they said, " Well, we couldn't make it to sacrament meeting at 12pm, because we have to pick up our mom from work, so we thought we would come to take the sacrament at 9am." Oh my gosh! They are the most amazing investigators I've ever had. Most members don't even do that!

I'm super excited for this transfer, miracles are going to happen! I know that the Lord is fighting with us as we strive to bring his children unto Christ!

Para Siempre Dios esté con Vos,

Con Amor,

PS take a family picture! It doesn't matter if I'm not in it. I want to show my whole family off to people I meet! All I have is the old one that doesn't have the new grandbabies on it
