Last transfer here we come!

HELLO!!                                                                                  1/23/18

 Goodness I can’t believe the last 6 weeks of my mission are here! We got transfer calls and sister Espinoza and i are being transferred from each other but the silver lining is that we will both still be in Auburn!! I will be with Sister Miller and we still are not sure who A Sister Espinoza will be with but it will be good! 
we we left are mark in the apartment 
re in.... its on the back of a 
Jesus picture so we'll see who
 finds that one lol!

 It has been a good week! We have seen a lot of miracles! We found a new investigator in the Mill Pond ward. His name is Reggie and he is super cool! He just moved here and he figured he needs a church. We talked about the Book of Mormon and the restoration of the Gospel. When we gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon he said he would read almost anything people give to him and he said we could come back next week! It was super cool!

 Okay, Yesterday Sister Espinoza and I went to visit an older woman who hasn't been coming to church lately. We went in and we met this sweet frail Asian woman. She was VERY hard of hearing and she had one of those voices that you had to really pay attention to understand what she was saying. She was super cute. It was also sad though, she started telling us how she hadn't seen anyone in a month and how sad she was that the church hadn't been by. She kept talking about a bunch of different things and I was feeling sad for her but then I looked over at my sweet, sweet companion and she had tears PROFUSELY coming down her face. She kept saying under her breath how it was so sad and she couldn't stop crying. Tammie, the less active member stopped in the middle of her story and ask if she had allergies, she said yes, just a little. I started DYING. I promise I wasn't being insensitive but if I didn't start laughing i would start crying too! haha ( I guess I was crying too considering every time i laugh i cry..) anyway, after 5 minutes of this sister Espinoza whispers, " can you really tell I’m crying?" and then she looked at me. Oh. My. Lanta. She was sobbing at this point but also kinda laughing because she couldn't stop. Tammie just kept going but I was about to loose it from laughter. The minute there was a pause i asked if we could come back, jumped up, gave her a hug and bee lined it for the door with my teary eyed companion. I was trying to unlock the deadbolt and i couldn't get it because I was trying to keep in my laughter. I finally got it open, after now snorting because i was laughing so hard, and we booked it out to our car with a last good bye to Tammie. It was one of those moments where i wished i had been able to control my laughter but it happened, Hakuna Matata.
the yummy chocolate cakes from Zach!

 Zach is still doing good and he is getting ready for his baptism!!! We are excited for him and it has been really cool to see his testimony grow and see the light come into his life! He gave us these molten lava cakes from a bakery in Seattle. We have yet to try them, that will happen at lunch, but he said they are the best things he has had! He is very kind :)

 I really am so grateful to be on this mission! I have learned so many things that I know I wouldn't have been able to learn as quickly as I have! I am grateful for my savior and Redeemer! He is my friend and my constant companion! I know the book of Mormon is the word of God and I know that we are led today by a prophet and by apostles of the Lord! I love you all so much! Have a good week!
I TRIED A CHOCO TACO FOR THE
