Okay I forgot to mention in my last email something VERY important. Every 6 weeks we receive transfer news on if we are staying in an area, moving, getting a new companion, etc. And on transfer weeks, my pdays are on WEDNESDAYS.

I love these people too much I never want to leave... I will have to eventually, but at least not for another 6 weeks.  These past 10 days have been crazy... and my email will probably be crazy too.

I feel like I was just sending out a pday email yesterday! The days really do blend together out here in the mission field. I had some really cool experiences with revelation this week! Lead by the Spirit 1---At our weekly meeting, we were told to make sacrifices, and because we make sacrifices, we could expect miracles! Fast forward a few hours-We had plans to meet some members for lunch and then take them to a lesson with us. This was a little sit down cafe and we asked the hostess if she had seen an older couple walk in. She said "Oh, no I haven't seen anyone with your tags."
