HELLO ALL!!! so lets get this letter started!
I am a mom (trainer) x2! This past wed was transfers and Sister Beniato and i got our brand new companions! Mines name is Sister Creek and she is from Tennessee. She is 24 and 4'11". haha its a joke in this mission that i will NEVER have a tall comp! haha none have been over 5'4". haha but its ok. So yeah anyways she is pretty cool and like me is a bit older but it works! She is very motivated and ready to work and keeps me going.
This Fri we had the unfortunate opportunity to sing at a funeral. Our 1c counselor in the mission presidency's son died and they asked us missionaries to sing at his funeral. He was only 26.. none of us even knew him but we were all crying we just felt for the family. But thats the great thing about knowing about the Plan of Salvation. Death is not the end! We will all be reunited and it will be a beautiful joyous reunion!
So this week we set a baptismal date for a lady named LiZ. this will be like the 8 date she has had but we are really hoping it follows through this time! pray for us and for her! She knows its all true just needs to put the effort in.
Other than that its beena pretty normal week! got a bunch new missionaries and a new zone! I love that I know pretty much everyone know! pretty soon with all the new ones coming out i will get to a point where i know no one! lol so i will ebjoy this while i can! I know that the friends I make her will be forever friends! We all just help support and love eachother and all have the same goal.. to bring others to Christ and we sould not haev it anyother way! missions are great!
Well i love you all!!!

Hello all!
So.... lets see... what happened this week that would interest any of you? so last Monday we went to Ijump the same indoor tramp place I have told you all about before. You will be glad to hear I did not hurt anyone this time! everyone's ACL's were all intact and not torn this time! It was super fun even though I totally got owned by an * year old in the first 5 min who hit me right in the forehead with a ball! haha it was pretty funny!  
Well this week I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with sis Corry and that was awesome! We god so much done that night! I was crazy windy though and almost gone blown away! haha Also had my first encounter with some one who was not very nice and/or happy that we were knocking on her door. Just got to smile through it though it right? It always nice to do exchanges and learn from other sisters and see how they work and what works for them and how you can improve. 
On saturday we were working at the VC and we got a call from our DL and ZL tell us they were having a gathering at the snow cone shack for some district unity but we couldnt go =( so the ZL were super nice and brought us snow cones! it was super sweet of them! We were pretty surprised when they showed up with snow cones in hand! love it! love them!
Other than that our week was not that exciting.. but it never ceases to amaze me to see how the Lord works through us to get his work done! How there are the times we are in the right place at the right time to help or meet someone. We are the Lords hands and always need to be ready to do whatever work he asks us to do (even if we would rather not).  I know that this is a most precious time and I cant waste it. and the no top of that those that we work with! Members, non Members LARCS and fellow missionaries! there is no coincidence for any of it! We all strengthen and lift each other! LOVE IT!! Alma 26:11-12
Well I love you all!!! WRITE ME!!!

We got a car this week!! we got a call on wed from the AP's telling us they were on their way from pokie with your car. Its a brand new Ford fusion! so pretty!! it had a total of 60 miles on it when we got it! But then 2 days later we go out to go the the VC and it WONT START!!! grrr so in the end we had to take it to the shop where they kept it till today!! but we got it back now its it awesome! I think I think i just pissing the car off cuz I was making fun of Ford in the car and so it decided to teach me a lesson! lol but i apologized and we are back on good terms now haha. His name is william.. willis for short.
So this wed was so fun!! it started bright and early doing service at the food bank here in IF and then after that we went to the Wards (a senior couple here at the VC) To help them prepare for a lunch in later that afternoon with all of us VC sister and senior couples... they have a trampoline so we had fun doing crack the egg and me doing flips and such! lol super fun! good to know i can still do a flip and land it! lol Then we worked at the VC and it was just a GREAT day!
This week was a good week with our area too! We taught alot of lessons to members and by doing that we are hopping to jump start the teaching of NM in the area if we can find them. when the members know how we teach us and trust us they will refer their friends to us so thats what we are working on! So far so good! lol We also are working with a new 9 year old named Ahcera. we are hoping to get a baptims date with her this week! she and her little siblings Nate and Avain are just the cutest things in the world! They have had a rough life and are now in the custody of their grandma and that how are are able to teach them now. Little Avain loves to "Beat box" for us!  lol I got a video of him doing it i will try and send it! 
This friday we an elders (out zl) Birthday so we made him cupcakes and then after we had all had on i took one that i hid and smashed his face! lol it was awesome! 
I hope you all were able to watch the leadership broadcast yesterday! It was so AMAZING!! We full time missionaries are super pumped and are ready to work! We really hope this can help jump start eh member involvement! We CANT do this with out them! So please keep that in mind and help us out as much as you can! i gave a talk yesterday in sacrament meeting on the Blessings of missionary work and those blessings are not just reserved for full time missionaries. He will bless all who help bring other unto Christ. He WANTS to bless us and is waiting to bless us. "He will open up the windows of Heaven and pour out blessing upon us that there will not be rom enough to receive it" name that scripture?!  I know that to be true cuz I have seen it happen for me and for others around me!  Keep that in mind and be the best member missionary you can be! I love you all!!
