transfer news...‏

HEY!!!

today starts week 1 of transfer #9...just to let you know there are only 11 transfers in my mission which means i have less and less time to do the work...its getting more sad each week. You're probably dying to know what happened with transfers.....well i will be transferred to an area called ellsworth park. Its a little branch right by my first area. Its pretty much like little mexico and im so excited!!! my new comp is sister castillo and she is from guatamala. She's an AMAZING missionary and im way excited to work with her. This is her last transfer...which isnt my favorite but its all good. Im so sad to leave sister avelino because ive had a blast with her. She will be training again so that will be an adventure. I think this transfer my spanish is gonna skyrocket and im so excited for that!!! i feel like i have so much to learn before i go home in november.
Its been kinda a crazy week...we had exchanges on wednesday and i went to sister blades' area to work. It was incredible!!! they have an investigator who read the whole Book of Mormon in 2 weeks...thats incredible. Needless to say she's getting baptized in a few weeks. Its been like 116 everyday or more...im jealous because 2 sisters are getting transferred up north...not fair. It looks like i will not get another full-field area...thats kinda sad to me but i will do what the Lord asks of me always.
Ive had really neat experiences this week in the VC. Yesterday a lady came in just really upset and i got to share with her my testimony of the Savior and the Atonement. The cool thing was just an hour earlier me and another sister were talking about how we came to know the Savior and the Atonement and then i got to share that with a perfect stranger. It helped her a lot. I guess it shows that Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us and He can use us as instruments if we allow Him too.
The mission is amazing in that way that really nothing about me matters. I am totally in the service of God. My hands are His hands, my voice is His voice. What a blessing it is everyday to see His hands in my life. Saturday we had a branch party...it was AMAZING!!! each family brought a typical food from their country. So i got to eat lots of latin food and i couldnt be any happier. Im pretty much mexican so dont be surprised if i come back eating chile and lime. I LOVE IT!!!
i cant really think of much else that is happening...its hot and im still loving my mission. I hope that you all are doing well. I miss you all but i know the Lord is watching over you.
Have a great week and dont be afraid to send a letter or email or package my way.
I love you.
