Surprise! Transfers!

Hola everybody!

The spell check on this computer isn't working so I apologize in advance. Hopefully it won't be too obvious how bad my English has gotten!

And I forgot to mention that this week is transfers and we got the news last Saturday! Since it was like 900% for sure that Hermana Wallis and I are both staying here this transfer I just kinda forgot about them, but we got a surprise! We're both still staying here, but we're going to be a trio! 

Trio life!!! 

I'm so excited! We're getting Hermana Johnson, who is one of the most amazing missionaries in this entire mission, and also she will be my first tall companion! I'll tell you more about her next week and send pics, but she's the best and we're so excited to pick her up on Tuesday night! Also, it's really convenient that they never took away the bunk bed form the last trio here so we hardly have to do anything to make room for her, she'll fit perfectly!

​WE FOUND A GOAT THIS WEEK

But anyways, this week was awesome! We have a baptism officially scheduled for one of our very adorable 9 year olds, Britney, for April 15th! (what a perfect birthday present! Just one day late) She's doing amazing and her faith and love for the Saviour is such an example to us and the rest of her family. She's going to do amazing things in her life! Our other investigators are doing well, but we really need more, and we're still working on that.

And a horse. We had quite an adventure. And we also saw a roadrunner like 5 minutes after this so it was a very exciting day!

And then General Conference this weekend was AMAZING! I never want it to end! There were so many amazing talks and stories shared and I always leave with a renewed desire to do everything my Heavenly Father sent me to this earth to do and really be an instrument in His hands. 

I loved that a common theme I noticed was how important it is to listen to the Holy Ghost and act on the promptings we receive the first time. That was a really good reminder for me to stop questioning things so much and just act in faith! And that is the best way to grow our faith and really be able to be instruments in the Lord's hands. I mean really, why would we ourselves have the random thought to visit a specific person that we haven't seen or thought about in a while, or have a quote or scripture or something pop into our heads while we're talking with someone. 

​El Camino Real is the name of our area (and the branch we serve in) so we had to take a picture!

Those little thoughts are from the Spirit more than we tend to think they are and so we need to just act, go and do!

I love you all and I hope you have a great week! Remember to go back and review what you learned in conference and actually actively apply it, or else it won't be any help!
