Sugar

January 26, 2015

I've risen from the dead and actually wrote you an email this week haha. This week was super awesome. I went to the Temple on Thursday! It was amazing, as always, and so peaceful. A couple in our ward were sealed right after our session so we got to see them in the Celestial room before they went in. One of my favorite members, Sister Dement, gave us a ride. It was cool going to the Valley again. I could see Chino, all green and pretty in the distance.. sniff sniff. 

So we have this "battle" going on with our zone leaders. My comp is a champ tennis player and she wanted to do a Zone activity where we all play tennis but they decided that they wanted to beat us so they postponed it until today so that they could practice. Long story short, we ended up making them cookies of themselves as a joke to get them plumped up for tennis and they turned out really funny. They looked so much like them and we even made them super fat. Before church yesterday we doorbell ditched them on their porch. It was stinken hilarious. We will see how the tournament goes today. I also made one of my comp. We are becoming really good friends and opening up to each other a lot more. We also have another set of Sisters that live a block away and we always have to car share so we all have a lot of fun. I feel more like a missionary having our own apartment and being closer to other missionaries. It's been nice.

I also went on exchanges with Sister Hicks from Alabama. She is a mini Scarlet Johanson and just about the cutest girl that you'll ever meet. She even has the accent and all. We had a really fun day with lots of lessons. We walked everywhere since the weather has been so nice here. 

We have a lot of really old ladies in our ward and every month they get together and have a lunch. They invite us despite our age so we felt extra special haha. The day before, we helped Sister Cloaser make her famous cheese cake. Holy moly! It was so stinken good. I have the recipe so if anyone wants it let me know

The work in the going good here. We teach a lot but not so many investigators. However we did find a new investigator named Gilbert the other day! We were looking for a former and he had just moved into their place. He said that he was looking for a church for his family and thought that this one sounded pretty great. He was all excited, it was pretty cute actually. We have a lesson with him Wednesday so I'll let ya know how it goes next week.

I have some sad news though. Sister Seymour, the one that I half trained, went home. She suffered from some things that we just weren't able to help her with here. I've always felt like it was the best thing for her though. I feel at peace about it even though I'm sad. I tried my best to help her and so did President and Sister Soleta but she needed help at home. I haven't heard anything from her this whole time. I kinda had a feeling that it would all go down hill after I left. I almost feel like it was a tender mercy though that I wasn't her comp this transfer though. I know that it would have been really hard for me. Sister Soleta is now with Sister Martinez in Diamond Bar. Martinez had a stoker in Barstow so they had to remove the Sisters haha. If you know anything about Barstow, you'll know that it is the craziest place ever. It's like one of those places in the movies. 

Well, I love you all. I'm honestly loving my mission and I can say that for realz now and totally mean it a 100%. I'm learning so much and I love being so close to the Spirit. It's been the best decision in my life so far. Sorry again for the lack of emails this month. 

Love ya lots,
