What a good week!!

 It has been such a good past 6 weeks! i cannot believe that it is almost Christmas!!! I am so excited!! This new transfer is bringing lots of fun surprises. It will come with challenges I’m sure but I am excited about it!

 It was the evening of Sunday December 10th. We were waiting for the calls to know if we would be staying in Mill pond for another transfer or if we would be headed out for a new adventure. Luckily the call never came and we were SAFE! woot woot! We were super happy and we slept well that night. We went about the next day with a skip in our step excited for the transfer ahead of us. We had a good day and came home at the designated time. (9pm) Sister Espinoza went to get ready for bed and I went about working on our never ending 1000 piece puzzle. (I hate this thing BTW) I went to grab the phone to wait for our nightly calls from the District Leader and to my absolute HORROR I saw a missed call from our mission president. I am telling you panic struck me real quick! I love the man but when you get unexpected calls you start questioning everything! So, we called him back and I could hear the smile on his face as he told us we would be whitewashing the White River Ward in Auburn but also staying in our ward! DOUBLE COVERING! We also found out we had to move to another apartment. So after being excited to not have to pack up we found out we both get to pack up and move. We asked when we needed to be out and President Rasmussen said, “you have 30 minutes." there was a silence for a second and then he started laughing and said “just kidding!" haha! We were panicking! So that is our new adventure! Whitewashing AND double covering!

 I am very grateful that I get to finish Training Sister Espinoza! I love her and I am so grateful for all that she does! She is an amazing missionary!! We have some good laughs and fun memories! I am so grateful for companions and the things we learn from each other!!

 Our investigator Zach is on date for baptism for January 13th! We are so excited for him! He has lots of good questions and has so much real intent. I am so grateful for his desire to learn more about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ! 

 Everyone, it is almost CHRISTMAS!! I hope everyone has been finding ways to #lighttheworld! I have loved sharing this initiative with those around me! The ward members have really rallied around it and I love seeing their light shine! I love this gospel! I love the things we are promised if we are faithful. I know we can return to live with our father in heaven as we try our best to be obedient. All he asks is that we try to be faithful and use the Atonement of Jesus Christ! I love you all! Have a great week!
