And Straight on 'Till Morning

--> Hola Querida Familia y Amigos! This has been a truly amazing week! Tuesday was transfers, and transfer meeting was a little weird. We thought I would be being transferred to bike (probably still here in Sylmar) and Hna Whetten would be staying here in Sylmar. However, as the meeting progressed we found out that Hna Whetten was being transferred out of the area all together! I did get transferred to Sylmar Bike area, so that was what we expected. Also... other exciting news... I'M TRAINING!!!! I didn't find out until after emails last Monday so sorry for all those who didn't find out until now. It's absolutely crazy that I'm training after 12 weeks and opening a new area and on bike, but I know that it's all in God's hands and he knows better than I do. My new companion Hermana Allen is absolutely phenomenal! Her Spanish is great, and she has absolutely no fear of talking to people whether she understands them or not. We have done ...

I'M BEING TRANSFERED!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok ... now that that's out there... Hola Familia y Amigos! I'm being TRANSFERED! I really just can't get over it. It doesn't feel like I've been here for that long, but I guess it really is the end of my training period. I know that I'm going to a bike area, but I won't know anything more until tomorrow at the transfer meeting. Don't worry about any letters that have already been sent; Hna Whetten will forward them to me because she gets to stay in Sylmar. However, please send any letters from now on to the mission office until I can send you my new address.

Somehow I have to learn to ride a bike in a skirt without dying (not sure if I spelled that right...). I tried it once on Elder Linford's bike (3 weeks ago), and didn't die, but ...

June 10, 2013 Hola Familia y Amigos, Lo siento pero no voy a escribir en Espanol este semana. This week was a good week overall. On Monday we were able to have a really good experience with one of our investigators where we read part of the Introduction to the Book of Mormon, and she prayed to know if it was true. It was a sweet experience, and even though it looks like she's not ready to change her church right now, I know that in the future she'll be able to look back and remember this experience. On Tuesday we had a wonderful member present lesson with Ana, but I'm sure Hna Whetten will tell you more about that. We were also able to meet with Obispo Cortez as a district and ask how we could help the ward in their missionary efforts. It was a wonderful interview, and we actually were given two referals from members who were trying to contact less actives and ended up finding people who weren't members but were potentially interested. We L...

Buenos Dias! !Martes fue un dia muy buena! Teniamos una cita con una potential, se llama Ana, y tambien su esposo, se llama Baldo. Ellos son muy buena gente y muy preperados por nuestro mensaje. Ana especialmente tenia buenas preguntas para nosotras y dijo que esta buscando por la iglesia verdadera pero no ha sentido tan buena en ninguna iglesia que han visitado. Ellos prometieron de leer la introduction del Libro de Mormon y tenemos una cita con ellos manana. Estoy muy animada para ver como fue su leyendo y ensenarles un poquito mas del evangelio y invitarles otra vez a asistir a la iglesia con nosotras para ver si sentimos mas buena alla. Tuesday was a great day! We had an appointment with a potential named Ana and her husband named Baldo. They are great people, and very prepared for our message. Ana especially had great questions for us and said that she is searching for the true church, but hasn't felt good in any of the churches they've visited....
