BUT we're still going to stop by and try and work with them! It's sad, but true when miracles happen for these people and they don't even recognize it or they reject it. Keep praying for them and hopefully that can at least come to church once to give them the desire to come back :) As far as the people from the blitz, that one guy is english so I haven't heard if he did or not, and then that family couldn't go.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
BUT! We had 2 people at church!! Woo woo! Maura came again! Seriously miracles with her! I have seen SUCH a change in her! It's incredible! She still has a loooooong way to go, but she's definitely progressing. She won't accept a date yet because she just wants to make sure she's doing it for the right reasons and doesn't want to be condemned because she gets baptized twice. So we're working on that! But she's great! I love her so much! She's a little punk, but she's the best :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Also! HUGE miracle! Diana came to church! We were thinking that she wouldn't come since she's so socially awkward and doesn't leave her house ever. Plus she told us at our appointment with her Friday that she'll try, but she just really feels uncomfortable around strangers, getting a ride from one, and that she'll probably call us on Saturday to cancel so we don't have to find a ride for her. We were like what the? haha But she never called and then Sunday morning when we called her she said she would go! We were shocked! haha and I think she liked it? We have another appointment with her <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT509" style="cursor: pointer;">tomorrow</span>, so we'll find out more about that! Her family is really catholic though so it's hard for her!</div>

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We've been picking up and dropping a lot of investigators, the cycle of missionary work! But we're having fun and working hard :) This is the best work everrrr. And we don't even get paid for it :) </div>

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We had a our STL meeting this last week which was super good! I love President Mullen! He's so great! He talked about the difference between a weakness and a sin, then that same day, we just happened to read an article about it in the Ensign! Super good! You should read it! I think it's in the April Ensign! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
A sin is using our agency against the teachings of God, and a weakness is something that we can't control, that God specifically gave to us. And both can be overcome through the Atonement! Sins=cleansing power, weakness=enabling power. Hna. Juarez and I talked a lot about how are weaknesses are really actually strengths as well, as long as we balance them, learn how to control them, and rely on the Atonement. I've learned so much about myself on my mission! Lately I've just realized how much of a problem solver I am. My mind is just always trying to find solutions for things. Which is both a strength and and a weakness. I get things done and find different ways of doing things, but I try to fix things that are out of my control which just stresses me out haha So we're working on a lot of strengths and weaknesses that we have :) gooood stuff :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We were also able to do a Helping Hands service project for a few hours on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT510" style="cursor: pointer;">Saturday</span> which was a lot of fun! I love doing service! We helped clean up this old park thing, moved the old stuff around sorting it, and tearing down the buildings. Super fun :) my arms are sore though, kind of hurts to type haha. One of the hermanos from our ward was there was like, "wow Hermana Nelson! I thought you were just a city girl, but man, you work like a country gril!" haha everyone is always so shocked that I get dirty and work! So thanks for teaching me how to work hard :) </div>

Sounds like you had a pretty good week! You were making me hungry talking about all that food! Dang! 1am flight? That's intense! I hope you enjoy yourself in Florida though! Yeah! So actually, the biggest shock of them all, we didn't even consider this, but Hna. Juarez and I are staying together!!! So we started our missions together sitting next to each other on the plane to Mexico, being MTC comps for like 2 days, then the last 2 transfers of our missions we're companions and then we'll fly home together too! So we're super happy :) Especially since we've both put EVERYTHING into this area and it's finally starting to look up! We've had a week full of little miracles!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
So first of all, we had the blitz this week in our area on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT280" style="cursor: pointer;">Saturday</span>! ... actually I don't know if I've ever explained what a blitz is.. haha so every <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT281" style="cursor: pointer;">Saturday</span> as a zone we go to one companionship's area, we split up the streets and go with a different companion just to talk to people and try and set up appointments for that area. It's a lot of fun and we've seen a lot of success with it! So this week was our area's turn, and it was AWESOME! Of course we organized it and planned everything beforehand (unlike the elders.. haha) so we really prayed about who should go with who, what streets to send them to, and then we drove those streets seeing how we felt about them. The entire time it was like revelation from heaven! haha We got so many return appointments and referrals! It was a huge success! AND! Here's a couple cool little stories.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
While we were waiting at the church building for all the missionaries to meet back up at the end, we're all just sitting on the grass waiting, and a car pulls up and asks if this a christian church. So we started talking to them and turns out they are living here temporarily, but are looking for a house to permanently live in, in the area. So they're also looking for a church to go to IN SPANISH. And we just happened to be there! They said they want to come to church and we're keeping in contact so when they do move here, we can get their address! Super cool!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
After that we were all talking about it and I came back to the group telling them what happened and everything, and just joking I said that they asked to get baptized haha but little did we know, like 10 minutes after that, right before we were going to say a prayer to leave, this guy wants into the parking lot. So we started to talk to him and turns out he used to meet with the missionaries in Hemet and loved it, but then because of different circumstances he had to move away and lost contact with everything. He said the reason why he couldn't get baptized before was because he was living with his girlfriend, but now he doesn't so he wants to get baptized! We were shocked! Here I just joked about that happening and then it did! haha! He's actually english though, but the english sisters were super happy! Soooo amazing!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Sorry this is going to be a really long email haha Also! We finally had another lesson with Maura! I thought it was going to be crazy like the other lessons we've had with her, but it was actually really good! She thanked us for not giving up on her yet and said she was going to come to church! Which is a HUGE step for her, cause the whole time I was teaching her with Hna. Santoyo, she didn't want to come. AND SHE ACTUALLY CAME!!!!! We were sooo happy! She was the only that did come... but hey, after 2 weeks of not having anyone at church, we were THRILLED! Heavenly Father has definitely taught us this transfer that we can't do it on our own. Very humbling :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Ariel and Lupita have been suuuuper hard to meet with, so they fell off their baptism dates :( we're really sad about that, BUT another miracle :) so on the Blitz, Hna. Vorkink and I got a referral from a nonmember for one of her neighbors that speaks spanish. So we tried them last night and they're AWESOME! It's an older couple, probably in their 60s, Marta and Roman :) They were a little hesitant at first to let us in, but finally did :) We showed them the "Because He Lives" video and they loved it! The spirit was super strong! Marta told us that we just bring the spirit of God so strongly in their home and she can feel it. Uhh... are you a member? haha no one says that! She also said that she feels like her prayers are being answered cause she's been wanting to find a church in spanish, because her husband Roman speaks more spanish then english. AND. She invited herself to come to church <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT282" style="cursor: pointer;">this Sunday</span> before we even got the chance too! Suuuuper cool! The whole time I could just feel myself being guided by the spirit! I kept getting the prompting, "put them on date, put them on date!" So I invited them, and they accepted to be baptized on May 17th!!! YAY! :) We're going to have a church tour with them and the Bishop on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT283" style="cursor: pointer;">Wednesday</span>, so we're really excited! They're great! :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Sorry this is boook. Almost done :) <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT284" style="cursor: pointer;">Yesterday</span> in church we had a homecoming and in her talk she read this scripture in Alma 26 that we were like, "wow, revelation" </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
"Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethern, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
..And we have suffered all manner of afflictions, and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul; and we supposed that our joy would be full if perhaps we could be the means of saving some.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Now behold, we can look forth and see the fruits of our labors; and are they few? I say unto you, Nay, they are many; yeah, and we can witness of their sincerity, because of their love towards their brethern and also towards us."</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We've learned a lot this transfer, and now we're ready to keep up the hard work, kick it into gear, and have the best transfer of our missions :) I love this work and I'm so grateful I still have a whole 6 weeks to share it! (even though I wish it was more) Hope you have a great week! Love yoooou! :)</div>

Sounds like everyone had a good spring break :) I can't believe school is going to be out so soon! Thanks so much for all yours and Ariel's help with schooling! It makes my mind at ease so I don't have to worry about it :) It's great :)</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

Well this week was been a little crazy, but it's good! I've learned a lot! Our area is still struggling getting people progressing, BUT! We were finally able to have a lesson with Ariel again! I asked her when she's getting baptized and she said <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT167" style="cursor: pointer;">April 25th</span>! So that was awesome! She really wants to get baptized, it's just still a sticky situation since she wants her dad to baptize her,and he really wants to too, but he can't... so we have to figure that out. And she's only here on the weekends, so we're running out of time to teach her. So we might be moving her date back, but she's awesome! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We also picked up the Cordova family again! Remember them? I love them :) The kids are so elect and awesome, the mom is just a little slower. But we were super bummed though cause we talked to them <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT168" style="cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span> morning and they said they were coming to church, and they didn't :( so we're not sure what happened! BUT. This week is going to be great :) We're going to get EVERYONE to church :)</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We also had a service project this week that was at a care center and it totally just reminded me of the seville so it was really fun :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! I loved all the talks! I love the big focus on keeping your families strong though! It's VERY needed! I've realized that more then ever seeing Satan attacking these cute families I've worked with! It was a little rough though that no one came to conference :( we were SOO bummed. It was like having church 4 times with each session, and being disappointing every time :( Everyone just had Easter plans. BUT! This week will be great! We were able to receive a lot of counsel, comfort and revelation through conference though, so it was awesome! I loved the talk on prayer and answers from Rosemary Wixom! I literally felt that talk was for me! So good! Our investigators are just having the hardest time progressing, that I've been praying A TON lately. That talk helped me so much cause I feel like I've just been giving it everything and not feeling like we were seeing much from it and not knowing exactly what to do with these people. Every night before bed too I've been just opening my scriptures and pointing out a random verse. REVELATION FROM HEAVEN. I'm not making a list of revelation scriptures that have helped me tons! I LOVE THE SCRIPTURES! :) This week is going to be bomb :)</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><br />

We also picked up 12 NEW INVESTIGATORS THIS WEEK! That's probably my high in one week! They didn't come to conference... but hey! They'll come to church this week :) We're just having a hard time finding people who want to ACT. But They're out there I know it :) </div>

Wooohooo! I'm so excited! It's going to be the best! I'm glad you've been able to watch the Because He Lives video! Keep sharing it with everyone! It's so awesome and is a great, more casual way to share the gospel! We've been working with members with it, and getting referrals from it, it's incredible!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

So Melanie isn't going to get baptized <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT93" style="cursor: pointer;">tomorrow</span> :( she's in Palm Springs right now, and it's been SUPER hard meeting with her! I'm really worried for her! So please keep her in your prayers! Yolanda and Bobby are doing really well though! Yolanda came to church again and just loves it! She's the cutest thing! She still won't accept a baptism date quite yet though cause she said she wants to feel more prepared. So we're hoping for sometime in April :) Bobby is a little rascal sometimes haha but I love him! He didn't come to church, but apparently a member saw him outside of the church for a little? We don't really know... but we taught him word of wisdom and setup a plan so he can quit all of his things, and so far so good! He has got to come to church this week though!</div>

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We weren't able to meet with the Salazar's at all this week, which was a big bummer! We're not really sure where they're at right now with everything. So many complications that we have to work out with them.... but it will happen :) I love them, and am going to keep working hard for them :)</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We had a little miracle this week :) (well and many, but this one I want to share haha) So I don't know if I've mentioned ilayali much, but she's 12 and we haven't really been able to teach her or her brother cause the mom wants to be there when we do, and she's ALWAYS working. BUT! On <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT94" style="cursor: pointer;">Saturday</span> we had a lot of things fall through, so the thought came to mind to go and see them, that their mom was home. AND SHE WAS! Woohoo! She invited us in right away even though she was mopping! Which we were surprised! So we had a little lesson with them and invited them to the women's conference that started in 30 mins, and the mom said she had a lot of things to do, but if Ilayali wanted to go with us she could. And she did! So we had to hurry and figure out a ride for her since we can't take her in our car! Which first of all, we were shocked that her mom would let her come with us! Sometimes I take a step back and I'm like wow if some church ladies came to my house and I didn't know them, would I let my daughter go with them to a conference at their church?? uh... probably not! haha so thank you to the spirit she was softened and let her! AND! 2 houses down from them, lives a member, so we ran over there and they let her go with them! MIRACLE! And she loved it all! She said she's thinking about being a missionary! Aw :) I'm so proud :) haha so we were super happy all that fell together so perfectly!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Well hope you enjoy Easter and General Conference! I challenge you to read in all 4 gospels towards the end where it talks about the suffering in Gethsemane and the Resurrection :) It's incredible! And because he was resurrected, he lives and is here with us :) LOVE IT :) Have a great week :) Love you!</div>

This week was pretty good! Our investigators are progressing, just slowly :) Once again on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT345" style="cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span> the depression was sinking in when we had no one at church, and I kept having the hope that the Salazar's would be coming since they're always late. So I kept looking back all meeting and never saw them, so I was super disappointed. Then once we stood up, they just happened to be in the only little corner that was barely blocked out of my view <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT654">haha</span> <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT655">geez</span> that family causes me so much stress! They're still being stubborn too! Linda still isn't sure about baptism or marriage. BUT! Ariel picked her baptism date! She picked <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT346" style="cursor: pointer;">April 25th</span> :) So that's progress! We can only see her on the weekends, so that's perfect :) She's a cutie!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
So Melanie! We worked so hard with her this week! She is so fragile! Satan is working SO hard on her right now! She keeps going back and forth with everything! And who knew that a 14 year old would have a coffee problem! But she's been living it and we got her some <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT656">Pero</span> so it was was good :) But she didn't come to church cause her fellowship was late getting ready for church :( and she was all ready and everything! So we were super bummed! We talked to her about her baptism date, had a really bomb lesson with her last night! She's getting baptized <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT347" style="cursor: pointer;">next Tuesday</span>! <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT657">Yay</span>! PLEASE just keep praying specially for her cause Satan is trying so hard to stop her.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Yolanda was in LA this weekend helping her friend with cancer.. so she didn't come. But she's doing really good! She's reading and praying and LOVED church last week! So she'll be coming this week! Her son Bobby didn't come either cause he thought <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT348" style="cursor: pointer;">yesterday</span> was <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT349" style="cursor: pointer;">Saturday</span>... <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT658">haha</span> but he ended up coming to a baptism <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT350" style="cursor: pointer;">last night</span>, and we gave him a church tour after! It was really powerful! He loved it! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
I also got to go on exchanges in Riverside again! It was so fun ;) and guess who I saw just by luck when we were teaching the <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT659">english</span> class? The<span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT660">Sixtos</span>!!!! :) Aw :) they're doing so good! The boys were at the church for scouts. Love them :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
This week I had my last temple trip as a missionary :( oh man. Talk about hard! Luckily <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT661">Hna</span>. Juarez knew exactly how I felt, so we had each other :) I just can't even believe it! It really made it start to sink in that the end is coming :( I'm so sad, but I'm so grateful for the opportunity I've had to serve! It's been the hardest and best thing of my life! I wouldn't trade it for anything! I'm going to keep working harder and harder these last 2 months to live up the time I have left :) Hope you have a great week and find ways to serve others! Love you :)</div>

<span style="color: black;">Bu</span>enas tardes :) Tuvimos una semana tan buena! It was a really good week! We have just been working so hard the minute I hit my pillow at night I'm out! We had a lot of meetings and trainings this week, so it was busy! Not to mention all the work that we're doing with our investigators and members! We were able to kind of figure out some people this week to see if they really want this or not and were able to pick up some new investigators too!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So Yolanda and Melanie were the ones who came to church this week! Yolanda is so awesome! She was sitting outside waiting for us <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT137" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Sunday </span>morning all ready to come when we got there with her ride :) she's doing really good, but we found out she has word of wisdom problems, so we're going to have to work for that... but! All things are possible! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Melanie is Arely's friend who is a recent convert. She's 14 and she's come to church and mutual activities before and really likes it! She's on date to be baptized next week! Yay! We just have to keep working with her and helping her resolve a couple concerns that she has. Not to mention it's kind of hard to meet with her cause she's always gone! So if you could keep her in your prayers that would be greaaaat :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have no idea why the Salazar's didn't come! Aye. I don't know what to do with them! I love that family so much and I want this so badly for them, but we just keep going in circles with them! They progress, then they don't. SO. Hopefully they start acting more this week, or we might have to drop them :( </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Miracle though! Do you remember April?? We found her again! And we was going to come to church <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT138" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">yesterday</span>, but her step-dad left all the kids there so she couldn't leave :( but her baby is doing well, and we are going to start teaching her this week! Yay! We just decided that it was because April needs to get baptized in April ;) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Beatriz is still MIA :( If we can't contact her this week, we're going to have to drop her. So pray that we find her! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Good start off to the transfer! We're working hard, having fun, and sharing the most important thing with the best people :) Our leadership in our zone is awesome this transfer that I'm learning a lot and there's just so much missionary fire with great missionaries, and 4 brand new missionaries too, that it's really fun! Well hope you have a great week! Make someones day :) Love you!</div>

I miss watching sports so bad! You really learn what you really like and what you really don't like on your mission! Speaking of which, I tried sushi again </span><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT196" style="cursor: pointer; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">today</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> and still don't like it haha.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
I'm sure you're wondering what happened with transfers! I'm staying here and Hna. Santoyo is going to Moreno Valley! My comp is Hna. Juarez! Do you remember her? We <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT197" style="cursor: pointer;">sat</span> by each other on the plane ride to Mexico then ended up being companions in the mtc for like 2 days before they switched her into the advance spanish class! We've been waiting for this day our whole missions! And now we're finally comps! Woo woo! We're super excited! And guess what else! I'm going to be a grandma!! Hna. Carlson is training! Awww I'm so proud! And the best part is that she's staying too so we'll all be in the ward together! I'm so pumped! We got new Zone leaders and a district leader as well that are super good, so it's going to be a great transfer!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
SO! This week has been crazy! We had so many meetings and so many service projects and of course they were all so good and so fun, but we just felt like we hardly saw our investigators this week! The Salazar's were the only ones that came to church, and once again they were giving me a heart attack that they weren't going to come, cause they're always late! haha goodness. These people are going to give me so many gray hairs! (good thing I dye my hair haha) They're doing pretty good.. still progressing like a snail (verrrrrry slowly) we had a good lesson with Linda and Jesus about getting married. Jesus realllllly wants to, but Linda says she's still not ready. We really need a miracle with this one. PRAY THAT LINDA WILL MARRY JESUS! (Jesus Salazar haha I just realized that in English it sounds weirder, cause it's like Jesus.. anyway ha) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Beatriz we weren't able to see at all :( she's moving! Well.. moved! Luckily it's still in our stake, she just moved into her parent's house, but it's in the Elders area :( but we might still be able to teach her, so we'll see! Hopefully!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We had a couple really good lessons with Bobby this week. We had a really powerful lesson about the atonement and the sacrament and he said, "woah, I feel weird. I feel like I'm like floating." "That's called the Holy Ghost Bobby." hahaha love it! That was the first time he has ever felt that before so it was so cool! BUT! The little punk didn't come to church and we don't know why! He was so set to go and he was going to follow us there, then when we got there, he wasn't there! So we have no idea! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
I also had another cool experience this week! I love the mission cause I feel like I'm really getting closer to the spirit and recognizing the promptings I get! We were driving to a potentials house, when the thought came to my mind to go and visit Hna. Pinto first, an inactive member. She just had another chemo therapy treatment and hasn't been doing well. She said she has been feeling really depressed and alone. She said she prayed asking why God abandoned her, and then we showed up. She started crying saying that she know he hasn't and that he sent us to her in the perfect moment. It was such a humbling experience knowing that we can be answers to people's prayers! It's in moments like that when I know that's exactly where I needed to be in that exact time. Man I love the mission. It's the best. Hands down. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Well that about does it! We've just been cycling through a lot of people lately, dropping and picking up, to see who is elect! Thanks for your prayers :) More are always welcome as well ;) Hope you have a great week! Love you :) </div>

So you're studying Spanish then? That's fun! You'll have to get good so I'll have someone to talk to when I get home :) Yeah! That baptism was the best ever :) I actually got a letter from the Sixtos this week that just made my cry! Probably the best letter I've ever gotten! Love that family! They're excited to meet you guys too!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
This week was good! We've been working so hard! We had some really good lessons with the Salazar's this week! The spirit is always SO strong in the lessons we have with them! I want this so badly for them! It's still really complicated with the marriage stuff, getting answers and now apparently Ariel's mom (oh yeah one of the girl's name is Ariel! Pretty funny!) doesn't want her getting baptized? So we're working with them. Like I said... it's all reallllly complicated. So please keep them in your prayers :) AND! Oh my word! So <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT185" style="cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span>, church had already started and they were no where in sight! I was getting so nervous wondering where they were act and since they haven't come for 2 weeks I was thinking oh no, they have to come! So I was just praying in my head the whole time that they would still come, but once they already passed the sacrament, my hope was getting dim. I wanted to text them so bad seeing where they were, but I told myself not to since we were in sacrament meeting haha so I prayed in my head telling Heavenly Father that I really just wanted to text them, but I knew I shouldn't so I'm just going to leave it in your hands. And guess what! THEY CAME!!!!! Holy cow. MIRACLES. We were so happy! Such a relief! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Another miracle! So this week when we went to visit Olivia, Beatriz was there who is a referral from their family that we had talked to before, but had never had much luck having an actual lesson with her. So we setup an appointment for Sunday morning and then Olivia invited her to come with them to church! Go Olivia! haha so we went Sunday morning and she was all ready for church! yay! :) we had a really good lesson with her and she accepted baptism for the <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT186" style="cursor: pointer;">22nd of March</span> and she came to church too! AH! She's super cool! She's a young mom with a little girl and she's pregnant! She's really cute and I'm super excited about her! She seems really elect! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Olivia we're still not sure about.. she's stubborn. But she's been reading, praying, and coming to church, she's just still unsure about baptism! Pray for her too! We have a lot of other people that we're working with, they're all just really hard haha but the gospel changes people, so we can it can change for them too :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And! I went on exchanges with Hna. Dulong in Riverside! So fun! It was so weird though! Being in the same area with the same comp! It felt like old times! AND! I got to surprise Jorge so it was fun :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Well that about does it! We're excited for this week, it will be a good one! But it's so crazy cause it's already transfer calls again! But I think I'm staying! Have a good week! Love you :) </div>

Jorge Flores was there too :) He <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT210" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">sat</span> next to me, and the Sixtos were in front of me, I was like, "wow this is like heaven!" Jorge is still doing really good too :) And I got to see all the Riverside members too, so it was a lot of fun! It still just amazing me how much you can love people in such a short time! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sandra and Mayte got confirmed <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT211" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">yesterday</span> too! YAY! :) they're doing really good, and we're working with their whole family so they can all be active and come to church EVERY week :) They're such a great family! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Cordova family came to church! Yay! But we're still not so sure on them. The mom works every <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT212" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Sunday</span> and isn't super interested... the kids are awesome, but obviously we need the parent's permission, and it's all kind of complicated... so we'll see what happens! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Olivia also came to church! Finally! We were on the verge of dropping her! She's the cutest :) She still have a lot of doubts, but we're working on it! We still have a lot of people to teach, but not a lot of solid people... so we're working on that too haha. Story of the mission life though! Finding the people who will actually act! We were super sad too cause the Partida family didn't come :( so we're going to have to drop them :( they're not progressing at all, but they have so much potential that it's sad! And the Salazar's didn't come :( We have no idea why either! We had 2 really good lessons with them this week, they've been reading and praying, and they girls went to mutual this week on their own! So we're not really sure :( </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also! I have a cool little miracle story to share :) So we were just trying potentials the other day and we were just leaving one part of our area, going to the other side to go visit someone, and I had the thought to go visit someone that was back in the other area, It was super random, and it was this lady that we talked to once like 2 weeks ago! But we were almost to the other appointment, so I decided we could just go back after. All through the lesson I kept getting, "Go see Luz. Go see Luz!" Finally I was like okay we have to go now. So we left and made it to Luz's house. This lady answered the door and said that there isn't any Luz that lives there and had no idea who it was. Which was weird cause we talked to Luz just right outside that house! So we ended up having a lesson with her and she's super cool! Her name is April and that house is actually her mom's house and she just happened to be there at that time! It's amazing how the spirit works! We had a really good lesson with her and she accepted baptism! Talk about miracles!!!! Soo cool! She's having a baby this week though, so that might slow things down a bit, but it was really cool :) we both just like "woooow" haha </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well I hope you have a great week! Have fun with the snow ;) it's actually been raining a lot here lately, which is good cause we really need it! And yes we have gone on some more exchanges! One I stayed here and the other one I went to Moreno Valley! They're always good! I'm going on exchanges with Hna. Dulong this week so that will be a lot of fun :) Have a good one! Love you :) </div>

This week has been filled with so much! So! Best news first right?? Sandra and Mayte Gararte got baptized on </span><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT312" style="cursor: pointer; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Sunday</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">! YAY :) I love their family. So awesome! There was a lot of confusion and stuff about timing and where and everything, but everything turned out perfectly! Everyone was there on time, so many members were there, and they had a full on party after, all provided by members! It was super awesome!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Other great news: so on Wednesday we were at the Riverside church building exchanging with the sisters in Moreno Valley, and the Mission ward was having their activities that night, so I got to see a ton of the members in the Riverside ward! It was so fun! I miss it there so much! AND! Even better, I got to see the Sixtos there too!! Well just the parents! It was so fun! She said she missing me, but they're doing really good and she's going to call me when she gets baptized so I can come back, but that she needed to get married first. In my mind I was thinking, "what the, they're not married?" AND I just got the news <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT313" style="cursor: pointer;">yesterday</span> that they're getting married this week and they're all getting baptized on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT314" style="cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span>!!!!!! WOOOO! I'm so excited!!! Aw I seriously can't wait! That family is my favorite! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We also picked up a really cool investigator this week! Her name is Corina and she's so aweseome! The only thing is that she works on Sundays, so we're going to have a sabbath day lesson with her today, and talk about fasting so we can help her to come! She's on date for <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT315" style="cursor: pointer;">March 8th</span>! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
The Salazar family didn't come to church :( (cause of valentine's day) but we had a family home evening with them <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT316" style="cursor: pointer;">last night</span> and it was great! They're so cute! They're reading and praying, we just have to get them married too! It will happen :) And their kids are hilarious! I love going over there!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Also we were able to have a lesson with Mia! She's soooo smart! She remembers everything, loves the church, and wants to get baptized so bad! We just have to talk to her mom and she's IMPOSSIBLE to find! So pray that we find her! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

We are so busy! Coming in here I was so overwhelmed, but this week we got organized, we've gone on splits a lot, and we've dropped a couple of people that weren't progressing. So now I feel like I know people better! Sandra</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT544" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Gararte</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">passed her interview for getting baptized next week!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT545" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Yay</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">!

AND! The WHOLE Salazar family came to church! They came in late, but when they did we were just jumping for joy! (in our minds</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT547" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">haha</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">) They're really awesome! Their parents have to get married, so we're working with that, but the 2 kids want to get baptized in March! They stayed the whole time at church, the kids loved the classes, and the mom loved relief society! Super good! And we actually have like the exact same situation with the</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT548" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Cordova</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">family!

Her day care teacher is in our ward, so she always brings her! She's so cute and so smart, but it's just</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT550" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">sooo</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">hard to meet with her! She wants to get baptized too, but we can just never find her and her family home! So we'll figure that out!</span><br />

Wow there's just been so many miracles lately! It's so amazing to be a part of "The Hastening." And do you want to hear the best news ever??? THE <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT551">SIXTOS</span> FAMILY IS GETTING BAPTIZED IN 2 WEEKS!!!!!! Ah! I just found out! I'm SO excited! Sis. <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT552">Dulong</span> said they have just changed so much and they're so ready! <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT553">YAY</span>! I'm so pumped to go back for that! And she also said that when Jorge got confirmed he wore the tie that I gave him :) such a little cutie :) Lots of good things going on! Honestly I'm not really sure why it's been so hopping lately, but man these last 2 transfers I feel like I've prayed more and harder then in my entire life combined! I know I only have 4 months and I just want to live it up! I love being a missionary. And yes we did have an <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT554">english</span> class in <span class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED" id="DWT555">Perris</span>, but I haven't been a part of one since then! It's fun, I like it a lot :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That sounds like a great ward activity! I definitely want to get more into family history work! That's also the work of salvation, so sign me up :) Well I hope you have a great week, and a fun Valentines Day! Love you tons! </div>

Yeah she told me! Public shout out for ARIEL WHO GOT ACCEPTED INTO VET SCHOOL! WOOO :) Sounds like you all had fun celebrating it :)</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

I know right? I feel like last transfer in Riverside didn't even happen cause it was so fast! I'm not sure how everyone is doing over there :( but I know Jorge is good :) But things are good in this area too! We have TONS of work! It's almost a little overwhelming! I don't even know who to tell you about cause we have like 30 investigators. Probably more actually. It's crazy! Our problem is just having time to see all of them! So we're going to be going on a lot of splits so we can make sure we can see everyone! We have like 4 families too, so it's super awesome! Pray for all these great people so they can get baptized :) Sandra is going to be getting baptized on the 15th, so we're really excited for that! We still have quite a bit to teach her though, so hopefully we can see her enough this week! Yeah so I do still live in Riverside, but it's a different apartment! But it's still weird cause I pass the sixto's house every day ha. </div>

But yeah! We have a lot of people so it's good! We just need to keep working hard so we can help all of them! So little story for you of how nice these people are: The other day we were walking into the church for the English class we were teaching, and our investigator Olivia was walking in at the same time, so we were talking to her, I complimented on her earrings, and she immediately took them off and gave them to me!! I was like, "no, no! They're yours! I have some kind of like them", etc, etc, to try and give them back, but she wouldn't let me. So now I have some new earrings from Mexico! haha I still feel so bad. She's so nice. Everyone here is great! Well not much else to say about the week! We've just been working hard sharing the true gospel of Jesus Christ :) It's the best :) Have an amazing week! Love you :) </div>

Holy cow! Ready for this? I'm being transferred </span><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT662" style="cursor: pointer; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">today</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">!!!! Biggest shock ever! I was completely blindsided! We thought for sure I was staying and Hna. Dulong was leaving, but nope! Dulong is staying here training the new sister that's coming in and I'm leaving to Jurupa to be comps with Hna. Santoyo! I'll still be an STL just in that area! Jurupa used to be a part of Riverside, but in the last like 10 years or so it became it's own city, so it's super close, and I'm actually still going to be living in Riverside. Which will be really weird cause I'll be driving past the Sixto's like everyday! I'm soooo sad to be leaving! Only 6 weeks here! It's crazy! And the area is finally doing so good! :( I'm not ready to leave, but I know the Lord has other plans for me! I just keep thinking of the song, "I'll go where you want me to go." It's been a hard one to swallow saying goodbye to everyone, but I'm excited to go to Jurupa. It's hopping over there right now! There's going to be 6 sister missionaries and 2 elders in the ward!!! Crazy right? It's going to be so weird! But I'm super excited cause Hna. Carlson is coming to this ward too, so we're going to be together like all the time! So we're excited :) And I love Santoyo. She's from Mexico city and she's hilarious! So it will be fun and my spanish will get even better!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><br />
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
BUT! I was able to end on the best note ever <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT663" style="cursor: pointer;">yesterday</span>! JORGE GOT BAPTIZED! Aw it was the best :) I love him! He's soooo good. I'm so excited to see all the great things he's going to do in this ward! And it was his birthday <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT664" style="cursor: pointer;">yesterday</span> :) He just loved it. He's changed so much! It's so amazing the change that happens through the atonement. It's incredible. And the visible change you can see in their face as these people have made these changes and come closer to their Savior. Jorge's son Angel was able to come to his baptism too, which just made him so happy! It was great :) But oh man! Saying goodbye to him was awfulllllll. We were both crying. He just didn't understand that even though I'm going to be so close I can't come and see him, or even call him. But I told him we can right letters so he's really happy about that! Maaan. Bittersweet moments! But he's excited to come visit us in Utah and he's going to go through the temple in a year so we'll be coming back for that :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Everyone else is doing really well too! The Sixtos accpeted a baptism date for the end of Feburary!!! We are so excited for them! The parents are still a little shakey on a couple of things. but the kids are awesome! So I went by <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT665" style="cursor: pointer;">last night</span> to say goodbye to them and the same thing that they can't believe we can't really have communication. But I told them I'll be coming back for their baptism :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We also picked up a new investigator this week named Benny, who has problems with drugs, but really wants to change. We had a really good church tour with him where the spirit was really strong. He's also on date for the end of February! He needs a lot of work, but he has a good heart and has a lot of potential! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Sara wasn't able to come to church this week, but will next week! She's also been hard to meet with this week, but this week will be better for them. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
I'm also missing Alexandra's baptism on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT666" style="cursor: pointer;">Saturday</span> :( but I might ask to see if I can come back for that, so we'll see! Maybe! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Well I think that's about it! Just lots of goodbyes! Another chapter of the mission is ending and another beginning! Have a great week! Love you :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

Oh and to answer your question, the exchanges that we go on are just 24 hours! We also had another one this week, and an english sister came here with me, and she loved spanish land! But I mean, who wouldn't? It's great :) </div>

And so is he :) He's just the cutest little old man :) <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT4146" style="cursor: pointer;">Yesterday</span> at church when we were leaving ward council, I turn around and see him sitting there reading his scriptures! He got to church like an hour early just to read :) He has progressed so much so quickly it's amazing! He told of of the members, "They knocked on my door, and the spirit knocked on my heart." Probably the best quote ever. He's great! His family is still pretty spotty, but we're going to be working with them! We're excited for them to come to his baptism since the spirit is always so strong. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We also had a few lessons with Guadelupe and her cute family. Her husband is a member and his whole family are members. She really wants to get baptized, but they're not married so she can't, and they want to get married but somthing about that there's like a new law coming out in May that they can get papers, but they can't get married til after that? We're not really sure. It's really complicated, so we're going to see what we can do about that. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
The Sixtos are doing pretty good! They're sloooowly progressing, but still progressing! They still won't accept a baptism date, but they did read in the BOM finally and they came to church again! So that was a huge relief! But they still haven't stayed for the classes, so we're working on that for this week. They're such a cute family though! The parents are just super hard to read. I never really know what they actually think about everything haha</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Okay! So miracles! We had 6 people at church <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT4147" style="cursor: pointer;">yesterday</span>! We were so happy!!! Jorge, Guadelupe, The Sixtos, and Sara. So awesome!! We were definitely blessed a ton! And so Sara we just met on the street on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT4148" style="cursor: pointer;">Saturday</span> night and invited her to come, and she did! So we're excited to see what happens with her :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We've also had some exchanges with the sisters lately, and man, exchanges is always an adventure! I went to Moreno Valley, I had to drive there, they didn't have a GPS so we were using a map, and she didn't know how to use a map, so as you can imagine, it was interesting. hahaha But it was fun. I also had to drive in Anza! (a truck too, so it was fun, it made me miss fred haha) So I'm getting to know the mission real well! Anza is like 2 hours from Riverside! It's seriously in the middle of no where! It was so weird! And it was an english exchange so I went into english land. I missed my Spanish world :) But all the sisters here are so awesome and I'm learning a lot from them! It's fun to be able to serve with them :) </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Well that about does it! Oh wait! We went hiking <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT4149" style="cursor: pointer;">this morning</span> with the Elders and that was super fun! I can't remember if I mentioned that we can now do zone activities with the Elders twice a month? So it was fun! Well hope you have a great week! Love you! </div>

Yeah!!! We were able to got to Alan's baptism this week, and it was AMAZING! Oh man I can't even explain how happy I was! And his wife and her family! Aw it was so great :) I can't wait til they get to go to the temple to be sealed with their baby :) One year! And it was really fun being in Corona again and seeing a lot of the ward members there. Love them!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

This week was pretty good! Jorge is doing sooo great! I'm so excited for him! We were so nervous for our lesson on this past Saturday because we weren't sure if he and his wife were actually married, and we were going to teach Word of Wisdom, and we knew that he drank and stuff. So we were praying reallllllly hard for that lesson and it was AMAZING! They are married! Which was a huge relief, and he totally accepted W.O.W.! We talked about how are bodies are temples and he loved that! (He reminded us yesterday at church that he is a temple haha.) He accepted it, and said that he was completely done with it all and it was in his past. We were so excited! He's so great! Then yesterday at church a member asked him when he's getting baptized and he said <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT4092" style="cursor: pointer;">January 25th</span> :) YAY! AND! He told us that it's his birthday! So he thought it was cool that he was literally born on that day, and will be born again on that day too :) We're so pumped :) keep praying for him! We were also able to teach one of his son's and he accepted baptism in February, but he's not as solid right now, so we'll see :) Jorge really wants his whole family to follow his example, so that's the plan! Oh and one more thing about him :) He told us that he has really seen the difference since we've been coming over and he's been coming to church. That he feels so much peace and happiness, that he knows this is right :) So precious :)</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
The Sixto family was planning on coming, but then when we went by their house Sunday morning, they said they were going to leave and visit one of their family members :( so we were really sad! They were only able to stay for sacrament last week, and it was kind of a weird meeting, so I'm not sure how they liked it... they said it was different.. we were able to teach them the Restoration this week, and they have a lot of doubts about it, so will work with that. We'll see! We have a family home evening with them <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT4093" style="cursor: pointer;">tonight</span>, so hopefully that's good! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We were able to have a lesson with Ezekiel FINALLY, and it was really good, and we for sure thought he was going to come to church, and didn't :( we don't know what to do with him. We don't know if he's just lying to us or what. Cause he seems really cool, but ends up not doing anything! And apparently he still goes to his church every <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT4094" style="cursor: pointer;">saturday</span> and <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT4095" style="cursor: pointer;">sunday</span>. So we'll see :( </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We were also able to go to the temple this week! Yay! But! Unfortunately, we got there right when the session closed, so we couldn't go in :( But we were able to do initiatories for a lot of people so that was really cool! I haven't done that for over a year now, so it was really good :)</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Well I hope all is going well! Happy 25th anniversary next week! (just in case I forget to say it next week!) WOO WOO! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

Oh also, I ate a cricket last week that a member gave us. hahah so that's officially the weirdest thing I've eaten so far! It took me like 10 mins to actually do it and we have it video tapped haha, very crunchy and salty. Oh how I'm grateful I serve in the States! Have a good one! Looove you! </div>

Right?? I can't believe it's 2015! But here it is! Sounds like you all had some good holidays! For <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3850" style="cursor: pointer;">New Years Eve</span> we just went to the stake center again and actually played monopoly with the elders haha it was actually really fun. The most intense game of monopoly I have ever played! Then we did deep cleaning the next morning... which was fun... :) You got more snow? Guess what! Different parts in our mission got snow too! Crazy right?? But unfortunately not here. But we can see it on the mountains! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Alright, where to even begin! So much happened this week! It was a roller coaster! We felt like every emotion this week! First of all, for the BEST news ever! Guess who's getting baptized! ALAN!!! In Corona! Hna. Dulong and I taught him! I don't know if you remember him? But he's married to a member and they're like my favorite! We had to drop him, cause he just didn't want to get baptized, but he was basically a member! He went to church and had a calling in boy scouts! His wife got pregnant like.. 2 months ago? Once that happened I knew that he'd be getting baptized soon, and wanting to get sealed in the temple with his new little family. I told him when I left Corona that I would come back for his baptism and when they go through the temple, and the day is here! So we get to go back to Corona <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3851" style="cursor: pointer;">Saturday</span> for his baptism!!! I'm SOO pumped! So that was the really good news we got this week!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We had a one day this week that was just ROUGH. Everyone cancelled on us, multiple people dropped, and no one would let us in! We seriously had one appointment all day! And Jorge called us saying he wasn't coming to church <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3852" style="cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span> cause he was in LA. So it was one of those days that you just want the day to be over, but hey, you gotta have the bad ones to recognize the good ones! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We had MLC with all the zone leaders, sister training leaders, assistants to the President and President Mullen, this week and it was SO good! It seriously got me so motivated to just get out and work and baptize! They talked about repentance and making sure we're using it every day, and I had a really cool experience with it that night. I can't even explain it, but I felt like I was Alma the Younger as he just felt the joy of repentance. I seriously have never felt that strong of a feeling before, that I can't even describe it! It was something soo much bigger then me, within me trying to explode out of joy! And I mean I've repented many times before and felt the comfort, forgiveness, and relief of the atonement, but never anything like this. I think it was coupled with the strongest desire that I've ever had to share the gospel and to be the best missionary that I can be. I only have 5 months left and I SOOO badly want to help this area! So I challenge you as well to make repentance more in your life. Make it daily. Make it specific. Make it more not for yourself, but to change yourself so that you can help other people. I think that's what was different for me this time. It wasn't about what I was going to gain from the process of repentance, but what others would gain as I would try to become a better person to help them. That's the difference. </div>

Gabriela (Jorge's, son's girlfriend) is doing pretty good! We had a few really great lessons with her this week, she's been reading and said that she can't even explain what she feels, but keeps reading so she has it. THE SPIRIT! She's preparing for baptism, but obviously they're not married, so we have to get them married first. But it will happen! Saturday night we had an awesome lesson with her and she told us how excited she was to come to church, that she bought a new outfit and everything. We got her a ride and were so excited, then she called us sunday morning and said she couldn't go cause she was busy. BUSY?? Really? Ay. So that was a HUGE bummer. We were kind of depressed Sunday morning just thinking, "well great, no one is coming to church." BUT. We received an AMAZING miracle! The Sixtos family that we've taught twice said this week that they'd try to come but weren't sure. So we thought they probably weren't, and we went by Sunday morning and they were all ready! And they came! 5 of them!!!! WOO. We were so happy! Like I said earlier, it's been a roller coaster of a week! Also! Last thing :) Sorry this is really long. So we ended up dropping Eziquiel because he never came to church and would never keep appointments with us, but <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3853" style="cursor: pointer;">last night</span> we saw him on the street, and talked to him for a bit. He said his wife left him and it's been really hard, but he really wants to learn about our message and I quote, "This time I'm inviting you over" So we're excited to be teaching him again cause I really feel like he has a lot of potential if he would just come! </div>

I'm glad you had a fun day and finally got some snow! We're definitely wishing that we could go sledding! But we have the </span><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3404" style="cursor: pointer; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">sun</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> instead ;) I'm glad you liked my cat story too hahhaha I really liked your story too! That's hilarious! Dulong and I were reading it here in the library and just cracking up! You need to tell me more of your mission stories!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

Our Christmas here was really good! <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3405" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas Eve</span> we spent with a couple of families, had a devotional with a few different zones, and then played sports at the church with elders. It was really weird basically having two days in a row off! But it was nice and relaxing! It was a really special <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3406" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> to really focus on the Savior as we were just there in our little apartment and as we were sharing it with other families. It's the best when we can brighten people's days and bring the spirit into their homes.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was a pretty good week! It was kind of hard to meet with people because of <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3407" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> and all, but we were able to find some new people! We also dropped some people too though. Finding the elect! We found the Flores family this week, Grandpa Jorge, Gustavo, Gabriela and their 3 kids ages 1, 2, and 3. As you can imagine, our lessons with them are a little crazy at times, but really good. We were able to have a really powerful lesson with Jorge about the atonement and coming to church. They're all been looking for a church and really wanted to come. We actually had a lot of people this week telling us that they were going to come, so we were super pumped then the day came, and nothing :( so all of sacrament meeting we were pretty bummed. Then we taught primary, and as we were putting the chalk back afterwards, we turn around and see Jorge!!!! We were SHOCKED! He said he was a little late but that he <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3408" style="cursor: pointer;">sat</span> in the back and just got finished with the 1st class! I have no idea how we missed him coming in! But he loved it! Oh man I can't even explain how excited we were! After church he said he really liked it and is planning on coming next week and bringing the whole family! WOO! I'm really excited about him! </div>

Alexandra (the Torres's daughter) is actually getting baptized this week! Yay! She's super cute! <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3409" style="cursor: pointer;">Yesterday</span> at church she pulled out her Book of Mormon and said that she had been reading it. So awesome :) We also found Esmerelda who is a young mom that is moving here this week and said she's looking for a church and wants her kids to know God. uhh... PERFECT! So we're going to help her move in this week and they'll come to church <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3410" style="cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span>! The area is still a little slow, but I think it's starting to pick up a little! Blessings from on high! :) Well hope you have a great week! Love you! </div>

Woo woo! haha I'm glad you liked the Christmas card! We had a pretty fun time with it ;) Right?? Dulong and I still have moments when we're like, "wait, we're together again??" It's been really good though! This area doesn't have a whole lot going on right now, but we're going to work really hard and get things going again! Yeah I know the Elders will take care of them! I talked to the elders </span><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3343" style="color: darkblue; cursor: pointer; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">last night</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> and they said they're doing well and is on date for baptism in January! So excited for them :) So we'll be skyping at 3pm your time on </span><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3344" style="color: darkblue; cursor: pointer; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Christmas</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">! YAY! I'm so excited :)</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
So we have a couple of people here that we're working with. First Veronica, she was on date for the end of the month, but told us that she's not ready and isn't sure about things anymore. She also might be going to Mexico soon... so we're not really sure what's going to happen there! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Eziquiel is pretty new, we haven't really taught him anything yet cause he keeps cancelling our appointments, but he came to the <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3345" style="color: darkblue; cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> party on Friday and loved it! (yes I got to go to another <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3346" style="color: darkblue; cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> party!) All the members were great with him, we had a church tour with him and you could just tell he loved every bit of it! He told us he just really wanted to come to the services on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3347" style="color: darkblue; cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span> to see what it was all about! We thought for sure he was coming, but he didn't :( and we have no idea why! So hopefully things will pick up with him this week! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
One of the members brought a friend with them to the <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3348" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> party, and so we're starting to teach him! His name is Jesus and he's really cool! He was taught by missionaries before, but has a bad drinking problem, so hopefully we can have a miracle with that! And he came to church Sunday! yay! But unfortunately he's out of town all week for <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3349" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> so we can't see him :( but he said he'll be coming to church again!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We also had a cool little miracle yesterday! The Elders in the ward had a baptism yesterday, so after when we left, we got a call from Bishop asking us where we were and to come back because the daughter in Torres family wants to get baptized next week! So of course we rushed over and talked to them about it! The Torres family has been less-active for a while and has just started coming back the last couple of months, then they came to the baptism and the daughter decided she wants to be baptized too! But she's 8 1/2 so it's still a stake baptism, but we're still going to teach her since she doesn't really know much since they've been less active. So we're teaching her everything this week and she's getting baptized <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3350" style="cursor: pointer;">this Sunday</span>! So that was super cool! We're really excited to be apart of this little miracle :) </div>

Also, funny little story for the week: we were at a potential investigators house, we knocked on the door and they didn't answer, but everyone here has like storm doors that are really hard to see through, but they are hard to knock on, so usually you try and open it and then knock on the real door. So anyway, Sis. Dulong goes to open the storm door, and turns out the real door was open too, so she just opens the door and right then out of no where a cat runs in their house!!! HAHAHA I was DYING! So just hurries and closes the door! Not kidding it happened all in like 3 seconds! So then they came and answered the door cause a cat was just chillin in their house! hahah it was hilarious! Well hope you have a great <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3351" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span>! Excited to talk to you this week! Love you :) </div>

Oh goodness it's been so crazy lately! We were effected big time. I got a call from President Mullen </span><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3186" style="cursor: pointer; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Saturday</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> morning. I'm going to be a sister training leader in Riverside! So that's crazy! I'm really nervous! And if you think that's crazy enough, guess who my comp is? Hermana Dulong! We're so pumped! That takes a HUGE stress off! I'm really excited to be with her again and serving in Riverside! But, I'm soo sad to be leaving Corona! I love it here! AND! Our area is closing :( Hna. Glenn is going to Hemet and Elders are taking over our area. Well actually we split our area in half with the elders.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
It was really hard saying goodbye to everyone <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3187" style="cursor: pointer;">yesterday</span>! So bittersweet! Our area is finally doing better, and now both of us are leaving :( we did not expect that! And! Oh man the worst part was saying goodbye to the Silvestre family <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3188" style="cursor: pointer;">last night</span>! We were all crying, and they're just confused! They came to church again and are really progressing! This family seriously has my heart! It was the worst <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3189" style="cursor: pointer;">last night</span>! But I told them that I'm going to come back from their baptism and when they go through the temple and they said, "well of course!" The Elders taking over will be really good, but it's still scary! On the way home, Raul (the dad) called us and said that Omar (the 8 year old) was crying, and if we could talk to him on the phone for a second. Holy cow! He was bawling and saying how much he is going to miss us and how much he loves us. :'( Sooo sad. But we told him we're going to write letters back and forth and he has to beat the Elders in basketball, so he liked those ideas. </div>

This week I've really been trying to be led by the spirit, and teach with power& authority. I had a cool experience where I was led to this guy, we started talking, and he said he could just see and feel the difference of something and he didn't know what it was. He said that he has had the worst day and he was praying asking where God was, then we walked up. He said he just felt calm and better when we were there and wants to know what it is and how he can get it. He's really cool! He's coming to church, and unfortunately didn't end up being in our area, but the Elders are teaching him! It still blows my mind all the time on how the spirit works. I love it! We also did a service project this week where we did tours and sold ornaments at basically a "Festival of Trees" type thing. It was really fun! And it was such the opposite of what I've been in lately! We were in this huge mansion, all these fancy trees everyone, and everyone there is just so rich! I just started thinking about all my cute little spanish friends that don't even have a <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3190" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> tree and it just made me so sad! I've had a couple of little kids tell me that they think they're just not celebrating <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT3191" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> this year, but it's okay, cause sometimes that happens. SO SAD! We are all so fortunate in all we have! I think all of us can do a little more, give a little more, and be a little bit better. So that's my challenge this week! Help someone out :) Well have a great week! Love you :) </div>

Haha no worries we haven't had transfers yet! This week! So we will see! I'm guessing I'm leaving, but that's what I thought last time, so who knows! Anything could happen! Yes I did get the package, thanks so much! We're excited to start opening everything!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

I know! We really built that relationship with Monica, and we had another really good lesson with her this week, but she didn't come to church again! When she said that she was! So we don't know... we think we might be dropping her, cause she hasn't really been reading either :( but this week was actually the best week of the transfer! We finally have a teaching pool, even though we're not sure how solid everyone is yet! We picked up a lot of new people, and had a lot of great lessons! AND! Guess what! It rained for pretty much 2 days straight! It was crazy! At first we were thinking it was going to be awful, but it was actually so great! We just had our little boots and jacket on with our umbrellas :) And since everyone here in California considers this basically a blizzard, everyone stays home, so everyone was home and let us in! It was awesome! I loved it! </div>

Time for the miracle: THE SILVESTRE FAMILY CAME TO CHURCH!!!!! Ah it was the best thing ever! All 5 of them! It went so great! The ward did awesome! Everyone was coming up, talking to them, and inviting them to all this stuff. AND! They already knew like 4 different members there! So that was awesome! The kids really liked primary and young womens, and the parents liked it as well! I'm really excited for them! They're still very fragile, cause they're SO catholic, but they came, and they liked it, so hopefully they'll just keep coming, praying and reading! For sure keep them in your prayers! They're such a cute family and totally act like they're already members. </div>

Another cool thing that happened this week: we were trying to see a former, and they didn't live there, but we felt like we still needed to be on that street for some reason, so we were looking around and decided to try this orange house (yes i know, orange haha) and the lady there let us come back, we had a really good lesson with her, and we put her on date! Super cool! Her name is Adriana, and unfortunately she couldn't come to church this week, but she should be coming this week! </div>

Sounds like you guys had a great </span><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2604" style="cursor: pointer; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Thanksgiving</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">! We did as well, but you're right, I did miss my banana cream pie ;) Gloria invited us over for lunch, but when we got there was not done! So basically we cooked it because she still had to shower and get ready haha Hna. Glenn and I realized we know more about cooking then we thought we did! So we ended up being there for like 3 hours... and then it ended up being more like dinner. But it was really good. It made Gloria's day! Her family is a little crazy, so it was basically just us! However, right after that we had dinner with the Ortiz family. Oh my goodness. I thought I was going to die. I was already full, and I had to do it again! There were moments when I was like, "oh man, I'm not going to make it" haha but luckily I kept it all down! Hna. Glenn and I got in the car after and just wanted to die haha SO MUCH FOOD! But it was all really good! Then all the missionaries in Corona went to the Stake center for the night and we played soccer! I had to sit out the first game til my stomach settled though haha but it was a really good day!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><br />

Thanks for the <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2605" style="cursor: pointer;">Thanksgiving</span> package! We ended up making the cookies with Monica and her kids and they loved it! I'll send a picture! They're so cute! It was fun, and then we were able to teach their whole family. But they didn't come to church again :( We were super sad! If they don't start really progressing soon, then we might have to drop them. Same with Gloria. She is the hardest person to teach! I love her to death, but she just gets so distracted and doesn't understand anything. She did come to church though! This transfer has just been so hard investigator wise. We are trying sooo hard and nothing is really coming from it. I know there are people ready here, it's just a matter of finding them! So we're just going to keep trying our best!</div>
<div>

<div>
I am really excited about the new little video the church came out with for <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2606" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span>! If you haven't seen it yet, go see it! "He is the Gift"<span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2607" style="cursor: pointer;"><a href="http://christmas.mormon.org/" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">christmas.mormon.org</a></span> and share it all over sociall media and with everyone! It's super good! I love it! We had a training on it with President Mullen this week on using it with everyone, so I think it will help us find some good people! The church is putting a lot into it! It's going to be on Time Square, it's going to be on the youtube home page, it's going everywhere! In the Ensigns it has 9 cards with the website on it, so make sure you pass them out to people :) It's a great way to feel the true meaning of <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2608" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span>. This is the special time of year that we can really focus on the Savior and give and serve to others as he would do. That's so awesome that you are studying the Gospels! Right? It's crazy how much more we can learn from it! You'll have to share with me some of your insights :) Well hope you have a great week! Love you: )</div>

Yay! Thanks we're excited to get them :) We still don't really know what we're doing for <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2356" style="cursor: pointer;">Thanksgiving</span>, we've had some people offer to have us come over, so we just have to figure out timing cause we'll probably be having like 3 dinners haha we're going to be stuffed! But I don't really know if it's <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2357" style="cursor: pointer;">Thanksgiving</span> food or what, we'll see!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
This week was pretty good! We had multi zones which is always super good! But holy cow I Sis. Glenn and I got asked to do part of the training so we were nervous all week, but I think it went pretty good! The main focus on the meeting was being more personable, with everyone and getting more referrals from people. It was all really good and I can still feel how the work is switching over. It's exciting, but sometimes it's a hard transition! We aren't supposed to just walk up to people and introduce ourselves anymore, we have to have a normal conversation with them first, tie it into the gospel, and then we can. Sometimes it's kind of hard, but it's a lot better! I had a really awkward one though with this guy that was getting in his car and I had nothing to go off of by what he was wearing, kids, or any other clues, the only thing was his car had a picture of him on it cause he's a realtor, so I asked him it it was him and then just started talking about houses and he thought I wanted to see the house haha little awkward. We were dying laughing after. But I'm sure we'll get better at it! Hopefully! Haha!</div>

Investiagtor wise it's still pretty slow. I don't know why it's just been so dead lately. Sometime the days just kind of drag. But we're working hard we know it will pay off! We ended up dropping Jessica <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2358" style="cursor: pointer;">yesterday</span>. She's been ignoring us. We know they're home and they don't answer. We haven't had a lesson with them in 2 weeks. We have no idea what happened! Super sad.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
But! Luckily Monica said she did like it! Sometimes she's kind of hard to read though, so hopefully that was true! But they didn't come to church :( we don't know why either cause we stopped by and had a lesson before church and said they were coming, so we'll see!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Gloria did come to church though! So that was good! She's so hard to teach though! She gets very distracted and her level of understanding is very low, so it will take a lot of work! We did get to help her with her <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2359" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> decorations though and set up her <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2360" style="cursor: pointer;">christmas</span> tree! So that was fun!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Hope you have a great <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2361" style="cursor: pointer;">Thanksgiving</span> and remember how much we have been blessed with! We really have it soooooooooo good! I am so so grateful for the life I have been given, that I've grown up in this gospel and that I have the priviledge to share it with others! Something that I've been doing as well is keeping a gratitude journal and it's incredible! And on the days that it's harder to be grateful, I go back through and read it and it makes me really all the many blessings I have! Have fun eatin some Turkey, but don't forget to recognize who all our blessings are from! Love you!</div>

It was kind of a slower week. We picked up some people this week, and they dropped us before the week was over ha so that was fun! Everyone else we were having a harder time seeing.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />

We weren't able to see Gloria this week because she had surgery, so she also wasn't able to come to church, but she called us to see if we could give her a ride to the bank, and obviously we can't cause it's the mission call, but we found someone to take her from the ward which was really good! She thought it was the best thing ever and always calls us her little angels haha.But we should be going over this week to help her and teach her. Thanks so much! Keep praying for her! And now that she will get better so she can come to church! </div>

We weren't able to have a lesson with Jessica all week, but we finally talked to her <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2191" style="cursor: pointer;">saturday</span> and they were all set for coming to church, we got a ride fore them and everything and they weren't there! So we have no idea what happened! We were super bummed! Hopefully this week they will come!</div>

BUT! We had an awesome lesson of the Plan of Salvation with Monica, really focusing on where her husband is and that she can be with her family forever. She loved it! Which was good cause we also found out that she has been studying with Jehova witnesses... but she asked us if we celebrated <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2192" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> and we said yes, so I think she picked us ;) haha just kidding. It was totally the Plan of Salvation! The spirit was really strong! And she came to church! YAY :) With the less active member that lives with her! So that was good! But holy cow. Hopefully she liked it. It was a really weird <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2193" style="cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span> for an investigator to come to. Things just kept happening. Sis. Glenn and I were dying the whole time. I'm just thinking, "what is Monica thinking right now?" So hopefully she'll come back.. ha. That's pretty much all of our investigators right now. We're still doing a lot of finding, going through the potentials that we have. But I know we will find the elect as we keep working hard :) </div>

It's been snowing? Daaang. That's crazy! I can't even imagine anymore. I'm so cold here all the time and it hasn't dropped below the 60's. I'm a wimp for sure haha </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

Something that President Mullen challenged us to do before <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2194" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> is to read the 4 gospels, and as I've been doing it, it's been amazing! I've read through the New Testament before, but as I have really been studying it, and really focusing on the character of Christ I feel more and more like I know him. So I'm extending that challenge to you and the family to read them before <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2195" style="cursor: pointer;">Christmas</span> too! It's like 4ish pages a day! Not bad at all! I know as we read about the Savior's life, ministry and teachings, we will become more like him :) Have a great week! Love you! :) </div>

Hooooola :) So since you guys asked about Sis. Glenn, sorry last week when we emailed I literally had been with her for like a half hour so I didn't know her at all haha but she's super awesome and I'm really excited for this transfer together! She's from Kansas, Missouri, she just barely turned 20, we actually celebrated her birthday this week! She went to BYU for a semester before the mission... I don't really know what else you want to know? haha But she's really great, we have a lot of fun :)</div>

This week was pretty good! Unfortunately our numbers just didn't show it. No one came to church again :( So sad. We picked up some cool people this week too that we were so excited for them to come and then they didn't :( but this week is the week!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
One of them is Jessica, who is a young mom with 4 kids and her husband got deported to Mexico, so she's here by herself. Super sad! I don't know how she does it! But we've had a few good lessons with her this week and I loved something she told us. She said she notices when we come, she can feel peace and tranquilidad, then when we leave it stays for a minute, then it goes. It's so cool how people can recognize the spirit! So we explained what that was and that she can have the gift of the Holy Ghost after she's baptized, and put her on date for baptism. Unfortunately she didn't come to church because she had a tutor for her kids Sundays right when church started and she doesn't have a phone to call the tutor, but once she came, she switched it for a different day so that she can come to church! So we're really excited about her :)</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We've picked up a couple of other people, and legitamently our whole teaching pool is a mom with kids without the husband in the pictures. It's so weird! So I guess that's our mission right now to help all these cute little moms! We just want all of them to be friends and fellowship eachother haha</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Right? I'm sill mind blown I'm still here. This whole week I've just been thinking what the reason could be for, just searching for it and praying for it. All week I was just thinking about Gloria. When we were teaching her I totally had a confirmation that I was supposed to be teaching her, then when she dropped us it was sooo hard! So I called her to see if we could eat dinner with her on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2143" style="cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span> since we didn't have a dinner (she's awesome and I knew she would say yes- and she did!) So all <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT2144" style="cursor: pointer;">Sunday</span> I was just thinking what we could do at the dinner and just praying that we would know if she's ready or not.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We had the dinner with her and it was so fun seeing her again! I love her! She's all taking pictures of us haha she's so funny. Then at the end we decided to sing her a hymn, "How Great Thou Art" and the spirit was so strong. She started crying. It's incredible how powerful music can be. She said that she got a call from Hermana Hernandez (member), and a text from Elder Perez, and then the call from me all this week and I just simply told her that it was no coincidence and she just starting crying more. She said she has been thinking about going back to church, but she just has so many projects around the house that she has to do, and her family doesn't help her, so she doesn't have time, but she wants to have time to come to church and read in the BOM without having to be stressed and thinking about all the other things that she needs to be doing. So we told her that we would love to come and help her so that she could. So we're going over 2-3 times a week to give her service then to teach her after!!! We're so excited :) THEN! Remember how she said she didn't like Alex's baptism? The real concern finally came out! She said that you have to bend backwards and she can't do that cause of her neck and we told her that it doesn't matter how you are baptized, it just has to be by immersion. "OHHH!" haha so that was a really good moment! I'm so excited :) So keep her in your prayers :)</div>
