May 14, 2012


OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was a fantastic week and I am so excited to be in my dream area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is seriously the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok so on monday it was my last day in Carrollton so I said a lot of goodbyes and we had a lunch with all the missionaries in the Carrollton zone which was a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then that night there was a fiesta for Sister Reina and I since we were both leaving and that was a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on tuesday morning we woke up and headed over to the meandering way building for transfers!!!!!!!!! It was fun to see everyone and be with my new companions!!!!!!!!!!!! Im in a trio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of my companions is Elder Olvera, he was one of my zone leaders when I was back in the Allen Zone, I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our other companion is a brand new missionary, we are both training him, his name is Elder Saenger and he is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to the new area and we put all of our stuff in the apartment and then we went to go teach some lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our first lesson was with Rosalinda, she just got baptized on Saturday!!!!!!!! She is the best, I love her so much, she cant read or write so she listens to the book of mormon from a cd and she watches church movies!!!!!!!!!!!! She watched The Testaments seven times on Friday ahah I love her so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we had dinner and then we went out to meet some more investigators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On wednesday we woke up and had district meeting which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our district here in the Dallas East Zone is the entire zone so thats pretty crazy!!!!!!!!! Then we met with Rosalinda again and prepared her for her baptism!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On thursday we had some weekly planning which was good for me to learn the area!!!!!!!!!!! Then we met with Rosalinda and did some tracting!!!!!!!!!!!! I get to see downtown dallas everyday, it is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we had dinner with the Frys which was a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!! In the Dallas 1 and Dallas 9th wards, which are my wards, there are also spanish missionaries so its fun because they have dinner with us at the members houses every night since they are in our wards!!!!!!!!! So the members here get to have dinner with four missionaries every night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess what happened on friday, we went on an exchange since Elder Olvera had to do a baptism interview for the zone leaders!!!!!!!!!! So Elder Saenger and I stayed in our area and Elder Treasure came with us and Elder Olvera went over to the zone leaders area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldnt believe we were already doing an exchange!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so scared since I barely even know the area yet since I have only been here for a week!!!!!!!!!!! But it turned out great and we taught some lessons and it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We even found a new investigator that night from Berma!!!!!!!!!!! He couldnt really understand english so we had to write a lot of stuff down and show him pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are getting him a Book of Mormon in Bermese!!!!!!!!! He is such a nice guy!!!!!!!!!!!!  Then on Saturday we stopped by some investigators and met some people!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunday was great because we got to meet the Wards and go to church!!!!!!!!! The wards arent very big but the Dallas 1 ward reminds me of the Newport Hills ward back home, i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited to be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so grateful to be a missionary for this church!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love every single minute of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry that this letter is such a mess but next week it will be better, Im still getting to know the area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope yall are doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
