¡Hola Mamacita!
Well, I forgot to tell
you, but a little over a week ago I got my first trunky email that says I'm
going home the 25th of February. Yikes! I hope it's still okay with you that I
go to the SLC airport and that I tell them that your email is still the same :P
it's scary how time goes... Haha yep Hna Burke is getting so old in the mission
:P it's almost been two months since I've seen her! That's the longest I've
ever gone without seeing her! There's a member of the seventy coming in a few
weeks, so I'm praying I'll see her then. And if not, I keep telling her that
she's coming to North Sac. It might happen her final transfer, who knows. I'm
pretty sure they will hold our presents again in December. Yes I did get the
pictures of the babies, they are so cute!
Jose had his interview
with the bishop yesterday, so now he is getting the priesthood next Sunday and
he will be good to baptize his dad on the 14th! The girls had their interview
on Wednesday and they are also ready to be baptized this Saturday! We are very
excited!!!
We had exchanges this
week and I went to the other Hermanas' area with Hermana Clark. Haha we were
just reminiscing about our time together in the Sacramento Rama 7 and how
magical that area is. This area is pretty amazing, too! It was fun being with
Hna Clark!
Halloween was fun, all
the missionaries met at the church at 6pm, we did a little sabbath day
training, then we played games and ate baked goods and candy. Some of the
Elders got a little too much sugar, but overall it was pretty fun.
One of our members, who
was baptized in March, signed up to feed us, but ended up having to go out of
town. So he thought it would be fitting to give each of us Hermanas a $25
gift card to a restaurant. He wouldn't let us give it back. And what restaurant
was it? Oh, ya, it was IHOP! $100 worth of pancakes! (Don't worry, we didn't
spend it all at once) So we went all out on pancakes! We were soooo stuffed, I
think it affected our proselyting. :P
Well it was Hna Stout's
birthday yesterday and a bunch of the women in our Ward went crazy! All the
members that knew were super excited and all the ones that didn't were really
mad. We got lots of cake and goodies. All the people that gave her cake would
start singing "¡Que la muerda! ¡Que la muerda!" and would try to
stuff her face in a cake. Haha I love the Latino tradition, they're so
silly!
My companion is great!
She has so much passion for this work and so much love for everyone! I've never
seen anyone feel so deeply about other people. She is such a great example to
me!
I love you tons mom! I
hope you have a great week!
Para Siempre Dios esté
con Vos,
Con Amor,
Hermana Twitchell

1. the Ward Halloween
party was so much fun! We had so many investigators come! The little girls are
Lucero and Alejandra. They're mom, Elizabeth Mora, was baptized a year ago and
she's been less active, but she's coming back to church so Alejandra can get
baptized! Her date is for the 21st of November! They are so sweet!
