"The Mission is a Life Changing Experience!"

5 June 2012

I'm about to end my mission as you know. Lots of things are happening. Elder Ortiz (my brother)got home on May 2nd and I'll be arriving at Arizona on June 27, 2012. Happy Mother's Day. There was a huge party down here. May 15th - transfers - I love it. New hermana as my companion. May 23 - our last zone conference. May 30 - Ariel's (another brother) birthday. Baptism interviews for our investigators. June 3 - I said hasta luego a los miembros en San Marcos (I said goodbye to the members in San Marcos). I still can't believe I am done soon. I love being a sister missionary. It's one of the best things ever! Of course, there have been hard times but siempre hoy (always today) blessings! Changes keep happening in my life. I'll be moving to Utah. I am going to miss my people from Arizona. Yuma, Arizona has been and will always be a part of my life. Friends, I will call and visit. Life, it's amazing! I don't quite understand what's going on but it will all work out. I can't wait to see you all. The mission is a life changing experience. It takes a week to get mail. If you want to write me, do it soon, my time is almost up.

P.S. Be happy. Missionaries are the best. Voy a disfrutar (I am going to enjoy) my last 2 weeks. Miracles keep happening.

November 2011

November 8
I was at the San Diego Temple. I love it!

November 9
Zone Conference. Missionaries sang to other missionaries and I was one of them. Also, they taught us how to fill our walles in order to help more people.

November 11
Family Home Evening. My companions and I taught how to study the scriptures to recent converts, investigators and members.

November 12
We were invited to a Young Women value program to teach the value of good works. The YW love it and I also learned to budget my money.

November 17
We had a baptism. Four investigators were present. Two of my other companions came: Hna Osborne and Hna Barnes.

November 18
Thanksgiving party/dinner.

November 24
My trainer came to visit. She was very happy because we are doing a good job at Vista, California.

November 26
Transfer calls all day. I was wondering what's gonna happen? And the call comes from our leader who told us "You both are staying," but he made it seem like I was leaving.

November 27
All day at church because the Elder's had a baptism, and our investigator wanted to stay at church. I felt it's time to check the phone and so I realize the assistants had called us. We listened to the voicemail and "Hey, sisters none of you are getting transfers but we need you to come to transfer meeting to pick up your new companion." We were very surprised.

November 29
We had the easiest transfer meeting. No luggage/no worries. I received five cartas (letters from home) from my friends.
