California Week Six - Check!

Hello my people!!
 
1. People who wrote letters... I will be writing to you later.
2. This whole week I have been stressing about the transfer calls... my 6 weeks is over so the call is Saturday night.
3. I got to go on an exchange with Sister Maddela! She is from the Philippians and is probably like 4 feet 11 inches. She is working int eh Filipino branch so we knocked and went to teach with Philipianos and I got to sit there as she spoke  Tagalog and then I will bear testimony in English VERY slow so they might catch a few words. She is really sweet though and actually leave tomorrow!! SO crazy. It was great though!
4. We also had a GREAT district meeting. It was about extending the baptismal commitment and finding out peoples concerns.
5. We got to go to Pep Boys... again. Oh well it opened it up for time to go to Pita! Pita! AWESOME lunch!!
6. So we have this lil' "All for All" game going on here in our zone. All for All is a saying that we say here to give our all because Christ gave his all. So we got a card that said All for All- You're It from the Elders we share our area with. Then the Armenian elders got in on it then some elders from another area got in... it became the battle of raps... anyway we go out to our car one morning and we see a car that we know is an All for All card... THEN we see it. Spelled out in Posted on the WHOLE side of the car "All 4 All" It was CRAZY! We took pictures and yeah we still don't know what to do back... we are still in shock at how god it was!
7. Sister Salazor opened up to us!! It was the first time she probably talked more than two words to us. But she told us more about their situation which helped Sister Ence and I understand a little more about the home life and why maybe they aren't so committed.
8. We went to a inactive lady a couple days ago... Efnie. We are working on it BUT she told us about her job. She decorates photo shot sets. They tell her the concept and she makes it happen. She just did a set for Kim Kardasain. I was a lil jealous. Cant lie.
9. We had TWO church tours this week! With Ann and Jon (husband and wife) and Maria! IT was GREAT!! Jon is more interested than Ann. Neither came to Church but maybe we can get another appointment. Maria said she was going to come to church but then something came up and she had to go get her son from a city he got stuck in... bad home life situation but she is so willing to listen and so we just can pray she keeps her commitments.
10. Transfer calls!!!! I was sick ALL Saturday. We get the call... they talk to Sister Ence first. he tells her she will continue to serve in the Glendale 2nd Ward as senior companion and that sh will be moving to Belmont. ... I get the phone... Assistant: How are you Sister Arbogast? Me: Good. How are you? Assistant: Good. You ready? Me: Yep. Assistant: You will continue to serve in the Glendale 2nd Ward. YAY!!! I get to stay with the ward!! With Sister Ence but we get to move to an apartment closer to our area.
11.Elder Rust is transferred though... we are all pretty bummed about that... He was our zone leader and one of the elders that we worked with in the same ward... He was a great leader and hilarious! But he gets to go to a Spanish ward in Chino...
12. Carrie cancelled on us this week BUT she set up a time for next week... I will keep you updated.
13. Moving stinks!! Well packing does... I'm excited for a new apartment!
14. I still LOVE the work!! It is SOO true when they say the days are weeks and the weeks are days... Church is TRUE!! I LOVE IT!!
15. Love you all!!
