New Companion, new area!

Transfer

Hi 

   Our E-mailing got changed this week, and who knows about next week! Because transfers are tomorrow! I am being transferred to fountain valley, It will be fun! It's right next to Huntington Beach, and it's in the last stake I served in. I'm doing some back and forth action here. When I found out I just laughed. The Lord must need me in this corner of the mission! I want you to know that I am trying not to be sarcastic, I am really happy to be going back to that stake. It means that I have more of a chance to see some people that I have come to love! Oh and my new companion is named Sister Lee. I don't know her really I met her once she has been out 3 months and she is from Vietnam. I'll send you a picture when I get one. This week was good there was a lot of meetings and many goodbyes. I'm going to miss lots of people in this area, but also happy to have a change. Change is good it gives us room to to grow and to learn new things. We will be teaching Sami and Maddi to night and it's going to be sad to say buy I love those girl so much and will continue to pray for them. I think this is one of the hard parts of the mission, is that you have to keep saying bye and see you latter to those you come to love. well I will talk to you all latter hope your week has been good. love you tons.

Time is moving fast.

Hey o ,

               This week came and went. I think that every week goes faster and faster. Any ways this week has been good. The Elders in the ward had a baptism this weekend. Her name is Maria Lee. She is so sweet. We got to know her really well. She wants us to come make tamales with her this next week.

               So here in our mission there are two sets of missionary's to a ward. Just so no one gets confused when I say the Elders in our ward. This last week we did not get to teach Sammy and Maddy, but we got to see them last night and will be teaching then tonight. I love these two girls so much and pray really hard that they will except the gospel. So we also got to see a Spanish baptism this last week, which was great.  You could feel the spirit so strong. Even though I did not understand what was being said, which was okay.  I was thankful for the opportunity it allowed me to focus more on the feeling than the words. I could feel that what this Brother was doing was good and that our Father in Heaven is happy for the choice that was made. What we know and feel in this gospel is so special and needs to be shared.

               We were at the store getting some food for the week and we kinda got in this guys way. We quickly got out of his way and said sorry, he was nice and said jokingly that's okay I don't know what I'm looking for but I know that I need it!  Little did he know how true that statement was.  We should have taken that opportunity to let him know what he needed in his life, but we did not think of it until the opportunity had past. I want to help as many people know of the joy and happiness that comes from this gospel. I love you all so much.  Talk to you next week.

Carry on sisters

Hey, this week went by super fast for me. It's been one of those weeks that if you asked me what I did, I could not tell you, but we did things I just can't remember. Good thing for planners. Well Sammy and Maddy are doing well Sammy is more in to it then Maddy. Sammy told us she would like to come to church and we were hoping they would have come this last Sunday but Maddy had a soccer tournament out of town this last week end so was not able to make it. But I love these girl lots and still have many questions. We had one of the young woman in the ward come and she was a great help it felt like she taught half of the lesson. We love her, she lives across the street from us. Jill is her name and she always tells us "carry on sisters!"  We think it's the funniest thing. Britt was there when I worked there I think she is super great. Yay!!! Logan!!!! you are #1. Happy Birthday Shon there will be a card in the mail soon. but it's going to home. Shayla and Ashlee way to be! I'm starting to feel better it's been easy to find gluten free this and the mission nurse gave me info on it! Oh I heard that there are going to be 5 new videos in total for the temple! That's pretty neat!  

Well, I love you all so much and keep on keepin' on.

Great Blessing

HI!!!

 This last week was good. We are starting to find more people to teach. At the beginning of the week we went to see an inactive member.  We have tried by many times but this time she was home she is super nice and a really happy person. She introduced herself and asked if we were missionary's. She did not know that sisters did proselyting missions like the Elders. She thought that sisters just worked at church sites and/or visitor centers. She thought it was nice that we were out serving. Then she asked us if we could come teach her daughters about the gospel! So we set up the time to come back when both of her daughters would be there. We taught them on Wednesday and taught the plan of salvation. Sister White (their mom) asked if we could start with that lesson. Sister White has two daughters Sammy (15) and Maddy (13) they are great girls. Maddy reminds me a little bit of Ashlee. They had so many questions and listened to everything we said. Sister White was even helping us out with some of what she could remember, we also had a young woman that came with us that was a great help. We are going back tonight to teach the restoration. I love these girls and pray that their minds will continue to be open and they can know of the truth. The gospel of Jesus Christ is one of the biggest blessing in this life, to have guidelines that help us make it back home. Love you all so much!

Miracles

Hi this week has been super crazy! But good. today we got to go to the temple, we had the 5:30 am session at the LA temple so we were up by 3. Sister Bowles got 4 hours of sleep last night. I'm thinking I'll be feeling that later! but it is so worth it to go to the temple and just be there. this last week it felt like we were every where but our area. there was a set of sister's in our zone that were having a hard time with some things at home. so we spent some time with them to lift there spirits. we also had exchanges,and had to go to the mission office one day. but despite all that we have still been able to see miracles this week. so we went by this less active member and her family is not members and she asked if we could come teach her daughters. and we will be meeting with then this Wednesday. I will be sending a letter in the mail. i love you all so much.

Working Hard

Hi 

I'm glad that everyone is surviving.  Well this week has been good and hard, We have been working hard.  Every time I sit down I want to fall asleep. but all this hard work has been paying off we have found many new people this that want to learn the gospel. One of them came to church.  Sad thing happened.  Gia called us and told us she does not want to meet with us anymore.  My heart dropped when she told us. I know how much the gospel can bless her. But no time to dwell.  There are others that are ready now to hear our message. We still see her and talk to her because she lives with less actives that we go see. I know that the Lord is in control and it's all in his timing.  We just need to be patient and trust that good things will come. Sorry it's short this week and every week but I want you to know that I love you lots and pray for you always!
