I don't have much time right now, unfortunately, so this is going to be my family email to you this week!
So this picture is from my "grandma" Sister Chan!! She came to visit and we took a very special picture! Let me explain:
First off, from left to right the names are Sister Campos, me, Sister Chan, Sister Campbell (the one in the purple), Sister Zhao, and Sister Wang.
So let's see if I can explain this without it getting complicated:
Sister Chan trained my trainer Sister Li (not in the picture). Sister Li trained Sister Campbell and me. Sister Campbell trained Sister Zhao, and Sister Zhao is training Sister Wang. And I'm training Sister Campos. So! Sister Chan is Sister Campbell's and my grandma. Sister Li is our mother. Sister Campbell and I are sisters. Sister Zhao is my niece, Sister Wang is my great niece, Sister Campos is my daughter. Sister Zhao is cousins with Sister Campos, and Sister Wang is Sister Chan's great-great-granddaughter. And Sister Campos and Sister Zhao are Sister Chan's great-granddaughters! Isn't that AWESOME?! We're all related together in the mission life! Posterity indeed!
Hmmm what else. February is almost over already?! What?! Where did it go?! This is week 6 of the transfer! Next week I'll be letting you know what's happening with me for the next transfer! AH! I can't believe how fast time is flying by! This is the top of the hill! I'm over the hill now! -_- Good thing I still have a lot of time left!!
Thanks for the packages for Valentines by the way! I feel really loved!
The miracle from this past week is that we saw one of our investigators twice this week! That used to be a normal thing (as it should), but with everyone's schedules being super super difficult and crazy, seeing them even once in the week is a miracle. So meeting twice was bigger than a miracle! And he's progressing so much! The next time we see him we want to talk about baptism and try and get him to commit to a date. Keep praying and hoping that he does!
We went to the temple this morning which was amazing as always! The Lord is wonderful, isn't He? And the gospel is fantastic! I love it with all my heart. My understanding of so many different things have expanded so much on my mission. And I realized earlier today just how many people I've met on my mission, and how many of them have blessed my life. And all of this because I got called to be on a mission here in California. And I realized that none of this would've happened if I didn't go on a mission! I could go to anywhere in the world pretty much and be able to stay at someone's house! That's how international it is here and how blessed it is! God is good.
The weather is starting to warm up a bit, but right now it looks like it's going to rain soon. Which is good because we need the rain right now. My email last week mentioned about the rain, but it's not enough! We still need water! We're all still praying for it!
On a sadder note (I think it's sad), I'm gaining so much weight. NOOOOOO. And I'm SO out of shape! I didn't realize how bad it was until lately. I walked about 2 flights of stairs and a little hill and I was dying! Before my mission I could go for like 5 flights of stairs and be fine! GAH. Good thing I don't have to worry about this stuff until after, but still!
Also, I have a request. It's the request I've had since the beginning of my mission. Can someone send me some skirts? Maybe a black flowy one? Like one that isn't a pencil skirt. And a different kind? Make sure it's long enough to cover my knees! There's no point in buying the skirt if it doesn't cover the knees! :)
Well, that's about it familia. My Spanish, Russian, and Korean are doing just fantastic. I'm going to keep my goal of picking up Spanish again and learning Russian. It's going to happen!
I love you so much family. I miss you all so much, and I'm praying for you all the time. I hope you're doing well! Keep on smiling and laughing, and loving the Lord will your heart, might, mind, and strength!!!
Love you all sooooo much.
