Dear Family,
Double digits!!! I have been able to accomplish so much on my mission!! It is go exciting to see the growth in myself and in those around me! It is amazing what the Lord is doing for those I am teaching and in my family and loved ones!! Christ is truly the Son of God and is there to help all of us, no matter what we are going through. It is wonderful!!! The Atonement is truly the best gift we could all ever receive!! It is amazing!!!
Now to my week :) It was transfers and I got moved, so we did a lot of getting to know.
Monday - I had a semi normal P-day and then at about 3 we left Redlands for Fontana!! It was then that I surprised my new companion!!! She wasn't told that I would be coming, but it all worked out :) We only had to wait for a few minutes and then things were wonderful :) We had dinner and that was about it. We went and said goodbye/hello to the members that the other Sisters wanted to see. It was a little different. I haven't been there when someone else was saying goodbye, so it was odd, but was good. I got to meet the people that I needed too.
Tuesday - We still went to say goodbye to the members for the other sister. She was having a hard time with it. She really loved this area but is needed where she is going. It was also hard for her to say goodbye and it is always hard. She will do well though. So we packed and saw people. It was good. I met some fun members, but still don't remember a lot of their names. That happens though. I did get to meet some people that we are teaching. It is fun to meet everyone and see how they are doing. :)
Wednesday - It was my first really full day. I was able to fully unpack and get things ready that I needed to do. It was good. :) We also went and taught some investigators!! I really enjoy watching these people progress, and watching how they react to the teaching of Christ. There are so many that are ready to go, and excited for the time we get to teach! There is a lot of teaching in this area and a lot of people to see. It is way fun!!
Thursday - We had weekly planning!! That is always way nice to have. It was good to be able to talk about what was going on the the area and making goals for this coming week. It is honestly amazing to see the progression!! We also picked up a new investigator today! She is an older lady named Barabra. She is so sweet!! She already has a testimony of the Book of Mormon!! It is amazing!! We also went and saw some of the sisters with the Relief Society. It is good for us to go out with the Sisters to help with their Visiting Teaching because then I get to know them!! It is fun :)
Friday - We saw people, you know, the usual. We also taught an amazing Plan of Salvation lesson today!! It is amazing to teach with Sister Bullen!! She is wonderful!! I love it!! :D We are able to really connect with each other. I am really good at covering the doctrine in a lesson, and Sister Bullen is really good at teaching the people!! It is wonderful!! We really complement each other!! Today, Sister Bullen also got attacked by a Pit Bull. She was dropping off a birthday card, and the dog didn't like her in his territory, so he bit her. He got her leg pretty good, but she is doing great!! We went to the doctor and she got some antibiotics, which is good, so she wont get an infection. She is doing really well though!! She is such a trooper!! :)
Saturday - We went and did service!! There are a lot of older women in the ward that have really bad health problems, so we go over and help them clean their homes :) It is honestly really fun to do. To be able to go and help these women is amazing!! I love it!! We also saw some other people and had dinner with an amazing family!! It is amazing to meet all of these wonderful families who are totally ready to do missionary work!! Love it!! :)
Sunday - We had church!! It was so good and honestly a little crazy. We had a lot of less actives there and visitors there that needed to be shown around. We were running crazy!! But is was the best kind of crazy!! Loved it!! :) We also went and met some more families. There are a lot of wonderful people in this ward, and it is amazing to get to know them!!
I still miss my other areas, but I know that this is where I need to be. Sister Bullen is amazing! She is from Arizona, and is 22 today!! :) She went to school at Dixie College, and is just wonderful!! We get along great, and are having a wonderful time!!
I love you all so much!! I hope you have an amazing week!!! Stay strong, and remember to follow the Spirit, and say your prayers!!
Love you!!!
