June 24, 2013

Hey yal,
 
Crazy stuff.... I look back at my farewell address and it was terrible lol I did not like it lol. But that's ok.... my homecoming will just make me look better haha more improvement. 
 
Kelsey's lucky goin to one of the coolest states and then to a great county for her mish... that's sweet, happy for her.
 
So this week was ridiculous.... everyone wanted us to help em move, so we were loadin trucks for a long time, worked a bit at the bishop's storehouse, soooo fun! and then went and saw lots of members and the usual missionary stuff.
 
Crazy story time......so last week was the last week of the transfer and on Thursday leadership calls are made and both me and Ketywan got one outta the blue!! It was crazy! didn't see it comin. I was so sad cause I didn't want to leave this area and Ketywan and all.... I was so nervous and couldn't sleep all night ... so at like 2 am, I figured I'd start packing. So I packed everything up and was ready to leave that mornin if I needed to. Then I fell asleep and got up like 2 hrs later I think, went to the training meeting for new leaders Friday morning and found out I'm a Zone Leader now! Then I was super nervous about where I was gonna go, so couldn't sleep Friday night either except no stuff to pack so I watched Mormon messages lol. Then Saturday came and we worked hard moving more people and taught some phenomenal lessons.  As we are leaving one apartment complex, the transfer text came (tells who's leavin) and my name wasn't on it! I was so happy.... I was hootin and hollarin. I just ran, I didn't know what to do haha I got around the bend and stopped and hollered some more. Then outta nowhere, Ketywan comes barrelin around the corner yellin and cheerin, then I noticed he wasn't stopping.... he like tackled me and we just kept cheerin haha.  We are sooo happy we were both stayin! It was hilarious probably got 911 called on us for the noise. So yeah Ketywan's now the DL and I'm ZL.
 
So there's a Spanish ZL now in El Camino and then me, so we'll have to meet alot and do exchanges alot to get everything taken care of. I'm so nervous. There are a million and a half better missionaries than me so idk why pres picked me. I just hope I don't offend anyone and can help em out the way they need. lotta responsibility is now on my shoulders.... I think it'll be good for me.

So I'll most likely be here for another 12 weeks at least. Ketywan goes home in 6 and then I'll have a new comp for 6 then I think I'll be dun here. But idk, just happy I'm Kety's last companion.
 
I can't wait to get home and join summer wildfire crews. That'll be so much fun and I'll be able to protect my state :)
 
love yal..... can't wait for the pictures!

oh and since my bday's comin up, I only want 1 thing..... a big flash drive. like 125GB if that's at all possible. If not, hey you guys are givin me the best gift by helpin keep me out here on my mission. Best gift yal have givin me. Thank you so much. I love ya all!
