TRANSFERS :( 


Dearest family,
What a week! It was the happiest week but saddest week of my life all in one! Everything has been going SO well... and I just found out yesterday that I am being transferred. I thought surely it would be Hermana Wallis! I was so bummed because we have a baptism next week. We have been working so hard with them, and I have really come to love them and now I will be being transferred. :( I HATE change! Haha but all is well, it'll be good for me. My first impressions were that maybe it's because I'm going to Argentina this transfer. Hermana Wyeth said I have a proposal... it's because you are going to Argentina this week so then you would be packed and ready! Haha We'll see! It's kind of bitter sweet though. Before the thought of that sounded amazing... but this week I just have been thinking about how hard it's going to be to leave! The day will be bitter/sweet, that's for sure!
I'm glad to hear that the funeral went so well! I'm excited to read over the talks if you send those! :) President was super sweet to call the Senor couple to take us for lunch on Friday. We went to Applebee's :) Reminded me of when we used to always go there! We had the most amazing experience ever! It just so happened that our waiter is writing a paper on Mormon's. Well, none of this was coincidental. We have a lesson with him tomorrow and I just know this is going to be for more than just a paper. Elder Cullimore (The senor elder) taught me a nice lesson. He told him; "all you need to know is that it's true." The most important thing that we can do is bear testimony. It was amazing how simple but powerful that was!
Ooo conference, conference was AMAZING!!! Seriously, I'm pretty sure that I was more excited than I've ever been for anything. Haha it was better than Christmas!! I felt right at home as both days we had a feast between the sessions. Hna. de Leon is far too good to us. I think she sent you a picture right?? Ya, but seriously it was AMAZING!!! I hope you all listened up well because the time is here!! You best be doing all the missionary work as possible. It's all about the missionaries PLUS the members. Let me tell you how true this is... do all you can to help them out! The most success comes from the members. Those are where all the baptisms come from. Ooo I could go on for days about conference, but I hope y'all enjoyed it as well! It really whipped us into shape eh?
Haha as far as Josh being worried? I don't know what I said? My companion is super great! I think I told him we're different so sometimes it's hard... but we're both easy going so it's been good. Ha she puts up with me dragging her along to go running  and she works hard so it's great. I didn't realize how many missionaries don't exactly work all the time. Sorry, who am I to judge?  I don't remember what I said to Josh. I'll have to write him! I sure have enjoyed emailing back and forth with him. I love hearing from the other missionaries out!\
Well, I had a bunch of random emails that I need to respond to so I'm going to have to cut it here. I feel like I could write 10 pages worth!  I never can decide which things to tell you about! I hope all is going well for you! I'm excited to hear about what the baby is :) If you send a package I'd suggest sending it to the mission home unless it'll be here by Wednesday. We leave Thursday morning for transfers. Same thing goes for letters :) LOVE YOU MUCH!!!     
PS Gabriel our stubborn less active committed to following la Palabra de Sabiduria (word of wisdom) for this week. That's a BIG step for him! Everyone is doing AMAZING! It's so fun to watch the progress of everyone! :) LOVE YOU!
