¡Hola Mamacita!
This week was awesome!
Thanksgiving was so great! Since it was a proselyting day, we had to visit
people, so of course we visited the members! We basically had about three
different thanksgiving dinners. It was so much fun, but painful to the stomach!
A lot of things fell through like going to the temple and the baptism, but it's
okay. Maricruz's baptism is going to happen, it's just a matter of when. We
worked with Karen Pardo on her family history and we were able to get her her
grandmother's name for baptism! We can't do her great grandparents though
because they were born 109 years ago... So they have to wait a year or get
permission from family search... We were so excited though to get her name!
Karen got a new job and therefore had to work when we wanted to go to the
temple, but that's okay, all the youth are going to the Oakland temple on
December 19th to see the lights and do baptisms! I am so jealous! I love that
temple! But Nathalia will get to go, so we are very excited!

So as you know,
transfers came up and the sad thing is that the Carmichael sisters told us that
they have to move out of Sister Schow's house because she's getting too old!!
That's so sad! I got a card from her yesterday, she is so cute!
Okay, back to transfers,
I'm staying in the area! Hna Stout was called to be an SIster Training Leader
and she shotgunned the Carmichael area with Hna Torres. It's crazy because Hna
Torres was Hna Stout's trainer and the only other companion she's ever had
besides me. Haha So they should do great! Well, I'm sorry to say that this time
you won't be seeing Hna Burke for Skype. I don't know what I'm going to do
without my skyping buddy! Hna Burke is currently living my Dream. She is going
back to south sac for her last transfer in the mission. Oh my goodness! I about
died! Ever since we've left that place we've always said that we were going to
come back to "die" (aka finish off our missions). Haha Hna Clark and
I were talking and we are going to shotgun south sac together for our final
transfer. We'll see what happens next transfer. My companion is now Hermana
Vergaray! We are basically the same person. We have the same amount of siblings
who are all the same gender, same ages, and same marital status. In a couple
months we will have the same amount of grandbabies in the family. She even has
a sister who is 27 and lives in Georgia! How crazy is that!! The only
difference that I have found between us so far is 6 inches in height and her
dad is from Peru. Well, dad is from Payson. They both start with a P, so
they're pretty much the same. Haha just kidding they are other differences, but
we are pretty much the same. She is from Washington and she met Shelby Twitchell
at institute and I'm pretty sure she also knows Steven, too. She's hitting her
9 month mark this month and yes, she said she talked to you on Facebook before
coming out on her mission. Haha we are going to have the best Christmas ever!
Para Siempre Dios esté
con Vos
Con Amor,
