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!

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.

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!
