Transfers are tomorrow! And President is being so sneaky and not telling anyone at the battalion if they are getting transferred until tomorrow! So no early packing or anything! Pretty crazy. And Sister Zaldivar left today =[[ After four transfers I don't know what I'm going to do with out her! It's going to be hard to live up to her legacy here in the 2nd ward, but Heavenly Father trusts me! But this past week was way good. Maria got baptised! After 2 planned baptisms, she finally came through with this one =] It just goes to show that this is in the Lord's time. Not ours! She is so solid and is just so great. The Spirit was so strong at her baptism and it was small-exactly what she wanted. And she has the Holy Ghost now which will make such a difference for sure. We're already talking about teaching her children and she's talking about how she's going to try to get them for Sundays. Delia-who got baptised in March, disappeared right after her baptism. BUT. She called last night and told us she's in New York! The Bronx! We are so glad that she is alive and doing well. We sent missionaries right over =] Saturday we helped with the church's service program "helping hands". We pulled weeds from a state partk on the border and it was just so great doing service in such a different way and seeing so many people helping as well. That's it for this week! Stay tuned to see who my companion is. You won't know for another week! But I have full confidence that she will be super great. I love this gospel. I love how much I can feel God's love for me and can see the blessings as well. Find something to do this week to get you closer to God. Whether it's praying more, or reading a little more in the Book of Mormon every day, whatever you need. And I know that you will see a difference. You will feel such peace in your soul. I love you!
Funny story; we had a group from Calexico come in to the Battalion and we made them sit on the crates that shake in the campfire room. And they got so freaked out because they thought it was another earthquake! They have had aftershocks every day since Easter. We asked what they thought it was (cattle, the war etc.) and they were saying 5.0! IT was pretty funny =]
Ok that's all!
