Thirteen Weeks and Counting!

Hola!! Alrighty... You ready for this...
1. We went to Lil' Mexico! SOOO fun!! We went with the Garcia family... SO FUNNY! LOVE THEM! I got a blue bag... it is the cross between a vintage and grandma bag... but either way, I LOVE IT!
2. On Monday night we got a call from President Pike and when that happens it usually isn't just a Hello. He was calling to tell us that we would be emergency transferred the next day at noon. WHAT?! I was prepared for this call and for me to pack in two weeks not right now! Apparently two sisters were having trouble so one came to me in Glendale and Sister Ence left for Chino Spanish speaking. My new companion is Sister Beazer. She is from Canada and was Sister Ence's companion in the MTC. She will be going home in August I think.
3. We got to go over to the Stapels and clean their bathroom but first we went to lunch at "Dinah's Chicken"... YUM! Chuck also made us necklaces of elk horn and a turquoise stone... its really pretty!
4. We have been contacting like CRAZY women this week. One day we decided to fast and just knock all day to find that person that needed us. We knocked for almost 4 hours. We got an AWESOME referral for the Armenian elders so we shall see how that turns out...
5. While knocking we knocked into a few random people. We knocked into a pastor that decided to try and fight with my companion in Spanish.. CRAZY!! I didn't know what was happening lol
6. We went to visit a few people in the GHETTO this weekend as well. They are older and are unable to come to church so we set up times to meet with them and have the Sunday school lesson of practice teaching the missionary lessons with them.
7. We have been going around to all the leadership in the ward so Sister Beazer can meet them and it is fun to realize how many people I do apparently know the ward :]
8. We had a few member FHE/meeting this week. One that was HILARIOUS is with the Jones... They are a younger couple with a 7month old. We got to know them and we are potentially setting up a FHE so they can invite a less active member they know... his dad.
9. We got to act in Relief Society on Sunday! The president who totally reminds me of mom wanted us sisters to act out what we should NOT say to someone when they ask us about the church... it was funny!
10. In my reading this week... Alma 18:17. I'm the Lord's servant. There is power in being on a mission and having that knowledge that I am called and representing Jesus Christ. I LOVE IT!!
 
LOVE YOU ALL!!
