on earth, although it's been so insanely busy, I can hardly believe
it's only been a week! The week before transfers tend to be this way
but my golly! We are working really hard down here. This area is
pretty difficult as far as finding goes. We try to knock doors and
street contact when possible, but it is often fruitless. We have
really been working on member involvement. We have been helping the
families in the ward establish familiy mission plans and it has been
so cool to watch the ward get so pumped about missionary work. This
weeks highlights include:
Monday we had to run down to the mission office because our car
battery quit on us. Elder Anderson, the senior missionary in the
office, is one of my besties. He always wants teach me all about cars
every time I see him and I'm pretty sure I'll be one of the first
automobile office sisters ever;) nbd.
Greatest tender mercy of the week... HORSES. Oh my goodness I coulda
died. Seriously. The elders have this less active family in their area
that has this massive horse ranch and they needed some service done.
Stepping on the lot was like taking a mini vacation from California to
home. You just about forget there is city everywhere around us. We
weeded and built corrals and did all sorts of work. We spent hours
there. I got fried. I guess sunscreen is an important part of being
the whitest girl in the nation... Whoops! We had such a good time and
it was a much needed get away. We even got to share a Book of Mormon
with one of the employees at the ranch.
So.... I ran into a bush. With my car. It was real responsible. At the
time it really wasn't that funny.. But ha. What can you do but laugh!
There was a detour because of an accident on that same road and I took
the wrong lane to the detour so all of a sudden there a car speeding
at me and it was either the car or the bush. So I took out this
massive bush in the median. I've adopted this bush now.. I feel a
personal responsibility to help the bush come back to some sort of
health.
Sunday was such an awesome day. We sat in the very back corner of the
chapel for sacrament. As we sat through the service, investigator
after investigator came through the doors and started to pile in. We
had 4 very less active families walk in too! It was insane! I was just
so stinking excited. That is seriously an insane miracle.
Transfer week.... I don't like transfers at all. They make me so sad
to see all my friends move. Sister V and I will be staying in the
Yorba Linda 4th ward together. Thank the stars! But all my favorite
people are just leaving me! Elder Meyers has been moved, and sister
Hawkins, Sister Anderson and Sister Lorton have been split up and are
still serving in the zone. You get so close to the missionaries you
serve with, it's sad to see them go but they are gonna smash it.
Anyways! I love you all heaps and a lot on tons too. Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Moonpie
P.S. MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO MY BOY HARRISON!
