Wow. Just wow.

Hola.

 

This week was hard.  But it was fantastic.

 

I was sick for a little while, just with a cold, but it made me very very tired.  I am finally feeling more energy. 

 

We found a lot of people this last week.  It was really cool, we have multiple appointments everyday this coming week.  I am so excited.  Both Hermana Corniea and I are excited!  We feel really good about this transfer.  We have many goals, we would like to get 3 baptisms this transfer.  If not baptisms, atleast 3 with a date.  But we have got Gilberto with a date again, October 12.  I asked him to be baptized on October 12.  I did it in SPANISH.  Told him the blessings that would come from it.  He said yes.  We really feel like that will happen.  We know he is ready, he just wants to make sure he knows everything that he needs to know. 

 

This week we saw many miracles as well.  Sister Call and Sister Morris (when they were serving in BS2nd) told me that they would pray for specific miracles to happen, and I remembered that this week, and thought, "Hmm.  That is a really good idea.  I wanna try it."  So, Hermana Corniea and I have started praying for specific miracles everyday.  And it works.  It is amazing.  We are going to continue this. 

 

First, we taught a woman, Maria.  We have taught her before, but we hadn't seen her for a while.  But last time we were there, I gave her a Book of Mormon.  (it was the first time I did it all by myself in Spanish!!)  I promised her that if she would read it she would feel more peace and happiness in her life.  Turns out she had been reading it!  She said she did in fact feel more peace and happiness.  She also told us it was all very familiar to her.  It was so cool.  She was crying, the spirit was so strong.  She said she knows the Book of Mormon is true.  We'd love to set her with a date, she is ready, she is just amazing.  It's just that she is going to Mexico for a month in about a week or two.

 

Another miracle, we specifically prayed that we would be able to see a woman named Antonia.  I guess Hermana Corniea and Cannon had talked with her before, she is a less-active.  But I had never been able to meet her, every time we'd call or go to her house, she wasn't there.  So we prayed that we would be able to see her, and we did!!  And on the way to her house we met a man, Juan.  Turns out he'd talked with missionaries before!

 

We talked with Eva!  She is also a less-active.  She had gotten upset with Hermana Corniea and I before and told us to stop coming over.  (She lives with Gilberto, the one with a date).  She actually started talking with us, she was very kind, and told us we could come over.  It was nice.  And she gave us each a coke.  Yum!  :)

 

Another miracle!  Last night, Hermana Corniea and I were visiting people, trying to get appointments and finish our goals for the day.  I had a thought to go visit a man, Everardo.  He'd investigated the church for a while, even had a date.  But he stopped everything because his wife said she would divorce him if he got baptized.  We'd only met with him one other time.  And at that time, we asked him to pray about our church and to find out if it is true.  He is very busy and rarely home.  But we went, and he was home!  We got an appointment with him, and on our way out he walked us out.  Then he talked with us some more.  He told us that he knew we were going to come to his house the first time we'd seen him.  He told us that he prayed for us to come back.  He missed the gospel.  Then, he had a dream that we came over.  The next day we came over.  Amazing.  ANd we asked him if he prayed.  He said yes, but there is one thing holding him back.  His wife.  We told him that we can all 3 pray for his wife.  That she will soften her heart and accept the gospel.  We have an appointment on Thursday, so we will see what happens.  I know with God, all things are possible. How amazing though.  You hear these kind of stories, but never expect them to happen to yourself!

 

I had some very good experiences this week.  I really see my purpose for being here another transfer.  I just feel so good about it.  It's exciting!! 

 

I am the designated pianist.  It's crazy.  I wouldn't have ever thought I'd play piano this much.  I'm in California!  Haha.  I played for Sacrament meeting yesterday.  (I am the only one who can play piano. Who woulda thought.)  So.  I play for Sacrament meeting.  Then go to Primary and play for them.  Then I play in Relief Society.  Thank you Sister Fonua for all of those piano lessons.  I'm so thankful to be able to serve. 

 

That's about it for this week.  I am so excited for this week.  Bring it on.  I love being a missionary!!!  It's THE best!!  I'm so thankful for this opportunity.  I never wanna leave.  It's hard.  Very hard, but what keeps me going?  There was this one Elder in my old district last transfer.  He said, "There's okay days.  There's good days.  Then there's great days.  What keeps me going is hope for another great day."  I feel the same.  Those great days, you feel like you see glimpses of heaven.  I really do.  What amazing miracles we see everyday.  Everyone has miracles.  There's always miracles, you just need to be looking for them.  :)

 

Have a fantastic week.  I love you all.

 

Love,

Crazy Week

Hola.

 

This week was crazy.  Just crazy.  The craziest week I have ever had. 

 

Hermana Linderman, an Hermana we live with, has been sick for months.  She has an infection in her lymphnods (sp?).  And she has gone to multiple doctors, gotten a CT scan, ultra sounds, blood work.  None of it gave the doctors any answers.  She was in a lot of pain, so she had to go home on Teusday.  That was hard.  All 4 of us got along so well.  We helped her pack (in 3 hours!!).  Then sent her on her way with some other Sisters that would take her to the airport the next morning.  Oh man.  It was hard, we all cried.  It's sad to me that she had to go home when she actually wanted to be here, then there's other missionaries that throw missions away like it's nothing by braking rules and such.  She deserved to be here, and her health wouldn't allow it.  It was sad.  But she went home honorably.  She's an amazing missionary, we pray for her every day.  We still talk about her everyday. 

 

So, because she had to leave unexpectedly, we became....A TRIPAN!!  Yay.  Hermana Bollwinkel joined us!  And we were over 2 areas, and wards.  That meant 2 district meetings, 2 correlations, about 6 hours of church.  It was awesome.  It meant LOTS AND LOTS of work!!!  We had more work than we could handle!  Meetings every where, lessons all over the place.  We some times didn't have time to actually sit down and eat.  It was so awesome though!  We helped Hector, he's 16, get ready for his baptism.  It was so awesome.  He was baptized yesterday.  It was so great.  But...we never realized how much work went into baptisms....BOY it's a lot of work!!  The baptism was beautiful.  I was able to play piano for it.  I am thankful to have had the opportunity.  The baptism was so awesome though!!  Hector shared his testimony at the end, it was so powerful.  It was just so cool, he'd been trying to be baptized for a 1.  His dad wouldn't sign the paper (since he is a minor we need a signature from both parents approving his being baptized).  And finally.  I think it was Thursday his dad signed it.  His dad wasn't at the baptism.  Hector is staying strong though, he knows that this gospel is TRUE.  It's amazing.

 

So, yesterday, we were at the church from 8:30 all the way to 8 at night.  It was busy!  Haha.  But we got lots done, we had lunch and dinner packed.  It was great.

 

Something about our ward...no one knows how to play the piano except for me.  The primary program is coming up, and they don't have a pianist.  Sooo, I'm playing!!  :)  Before I came, they were just playing a CD for the children to sing to....talk about DIFFICULT.  I don't know if it's just me, but I would think that would be SO hard to teach kids songs without a pianist!!  I'm glad I can help them out.  I just hope I'm helping them out rather than being a burden (sometimes I'm afraid there is a language barrier, but Vero helps me ALOT.  Thank goodness.). 

 

TRANSFERS.  We got the call this morning...and....I'M STAYING.  YAY!!!  I'm thankful to be in Oxnard still.  I can't imagine being any where else right now.  I'm just now getting the hang of everything, I didn't wanna leave Haha.  Hermana Corniea is my companion still.  And Hermana Bollwinkel is getting a new companion.  So we all three get to go to transfer meeting.  I guess not every mission does transfers the way we do them, but everyone that is switching companions/training new missionaries, we get to go to a meeting in Ventura.  I always love going to meetings where President will be speaking, we don't get to see him alot. 

 

Guess how many missionaries are in Oxnard alone now???  You won't believe it...I can't even believe it!!  There's supposed to be about 30 companionships here.  Just in Oxnard!!   30?!  There's 31 new missionaries here.  I bet they're freaking out.  I'm not the newest any more.  Yay.  The church is so true!!  There IS a hastening of the work everyone. 

 

That is about it.  I am loving every minute of my mission.  Can't believe I've been gone for about 12 weeks.  ALREADY.  What???  Haha, thanks for all the support.  I'm thankful for this opportunity to serve the Lord.  I love it.  It's a glorious work.  I can't get enough of it.  I know that as you members start sharing the gospel as much as possible, you WILL recieve even more blessings.  don't be afraid!  You will be given words to say.  Go out with the missionaries!  We love it!  This church is so true.  I think I have said that about 10 million times in this email, but it's just so true!  Joseph Smith truly was and is a prophet of God.  Thomas S. Monson is the prophet today, he leads and guides us.  The Book of Mormon is true.  The temple is literally the house of God.  Go there as much as possible.  Through this gospel, families can be together forever.  We can live with God and Jesus Christ again.  This wonderful gospel answers every question.  (and when it doesn't, it's most likely because it's not important for you salvation ;)  Haha).  This gospel is a comfort to me.  I don't believe it in because it comforts me, we see a lot of people think that religion is only important because it makes people feel good.  No.  This gospel is a comfort to me because I know for a fact that it is true.  Not vise versa.  I love being a missionary, I love being able to say that I am called of God, that I'm worthy to be here.  It's great.

 

Have a great week.  Sorry, I just blab on and on. 

 

Love,

Hello!

 

This was...an interesting week.  As missionaries, we are constantly making goals.  And constantly striving to achieve these goals.  And well!  This week, I don't think 1 was achieved.  Also, as a missionary, it is VERY easy to be hard on ourselves.  I am hard on myself.  I am learning to be easier on myself. 

 

This week we had a lot of meetings!  Tuesday.  We had a 2 hour zone meeting on the Gift of Tongues and Learning Spanish.  (I spoke on the Gift of Tongues, yay).  Then, that evening we had youth activity.  The missionaries helped with a mini MTC!  It was not as successful as we would have liked, but successful enough!  There were 3 different rooms, and in each room one of the first 3 lessons was taught (from Preach My Gospel).  EAch roatations lasted for about 20 minutes.  IN that 20 mins we would teach the lesson, then leave time for the youth to practice teaching a friend.  (the missionaries pretended to be the friend).  Really we just wanted them to practice so that they could figure out any questions they have on how to naturally share the gospel with friends.  The activity was good, just a lot of the youth were acting like youth!  We spent good proselyting time to teach the youth instead.  I know they didn't realize how much work and time went into this.  But just so everyone knows, missionaries work hard for activities in the ward...help them out!  They are sacrificing time to be teaching investigators.  It's a big deal.

 

I got a package from the wonderful, magnificent Beehives from the amazing Blue Springs 2nd ward.  Thanks y'all!!  That was the greatest surprise!!

 

Mom.  Okay, I've been meaning to tell you this...I've already told some ward members I'm coming back here with you.  They all wanna meet you!!  So!  If the entire family can't come out here soon after my mission, we should take a mother daughter trip here.  You would LOVE it!! :D  Which reminds me, Vanessa, Nancy, and Vero added me on FB...haha, could you add em back for me? :) 

 

There's a place with $1 chinese food here!! :D  My companion says it's too risky, what do you think?  I like to think of it as a good deal!!  We ARE going to try it this week.  I'll let you know if I get food poisoning!! :)

 

1 more Sunday till transfers.  I'm freakin out.  I don't wanna leave.  I hope I stay here.  In a week you will know what shall come to pass...Just know that if I'm leaving....I will be crying my eyes out..

 

We read the Proclamation to the world this morning.  (We read a special handbook our mission president wrote every day, and that's in it).  And Hermana Linderman was like, "Oh dang.  I really wonder what Obama has to say about this!"  Hahaha, it was so funny!  I kinda forgot we had a president...I kinda forgot we had politics...The perks of being a missionary ;)

 

My companion has a David Archuleta CD.  HAHA, and we were listening to it today, Hermana Linderman says, "Ooo, his voice is like honey."  Pahahaha

 

Well, we really did horribly with numbers this week.  It was a harder weed in general really.  We are working on formers.  We want to meet every former before the end of the week.  We lost all progressing investigators.  We lost our baptismal date investigators.  We pretty much lost our teaching pool.  It's rough.  One of em yelled at us.  Told us we probably don't understand Spanish.  She told us to stop coming.  There were many other things said, but I can assure you.  I understood everything!!  Haha, that was the great thing!!  I realized I understand Spanish!!  Talk to me in Spanish, I understand you!  Ask me a question in Spanish. NOPE.  Can't say anything.  Hahaha,  THis week was really great other than losing everyone.  But HEY.  Esta Bien!  I love being a missionary.  Life is great in California.  I love it.  I'll write a better letter next week y'all.  :D

 

Love,

Hola!!

 

This week was...not as successful as we would have liked.  All of the goals we hoped to achieve were not.  But!  That is alright!! :)

 

First.  Would you tell Kristen I LOVED her letter and will write back as soon as possible?  Also to tell her to disregard any comment I may have made about her not writing me back in Charlee's letter...Haha.  Also!  I can listen to any music.  As long as it is uplifting and music that can be inviting of the spirit.  I do believe Kristen knows what I mean!  Any church songs, and Mercy River!  Jenny phillips is good, so is EFY. 

 

You people.  Laura.  You are not supposed to get married while I am gone!  Ollie and Ashley!  You are supposed to wait to have babies until I get home!  Mom, Dad,  You are supposed to do cool family vacations when I am with you!  Nonsense I tell you, didn't anyone tell you that you are supposed to put life on hold??  Haha.  Okay, I am kidding.  But seriously, that is SO excited!!  Please.  Send me the wedding announcement Laura!  And!  Pictures, OKAY?? :)  Ollie and Ashley!  Send me pics of my neice!! :)  Mom and dad!  And Owen and Olson, I am so glad that you had fun at the farm.  That is so great.  I would be jealous...but...I'm on a mission, and that is even better.  Haha. 

 

I still know VERY little Spanish.  I understand tons (except at church), but don't really know how to speak.  It's great, the ward members know I don't know what's going on most of the time.  We still have a great time though.  We are very good at laughing with each other.  We may not understand each other but we always laugh.  That's something I love, these people's laughs are SO contagious.  You know me!  I love laughing!  It's one of my greatest talents.  I love my ward though.  I love them a lot.  They are so great. 

 

Did I ever mention, that our stake is so into missionary work every 4th Sunday is dedicated to Missionary Work??!  We the missionaries pick out the speakers for Sacrament meeting, and also do a fireside every 4th Sunday.  It's pretty neat.  Yesterday a girl named Karen gave her farewell.  She is going to Tampa, Florida!  So cool!! :)  She spoke and so did her mom and sister.  Lemme tell you something really funny.  Karen's sister is named Karen too!!  We asked their mom why they are both named Karen and their mom said she just really liked the name Karen, so why not?  PAHA.  I don't know why that is so funny to me, but it is!  But it was very good.  I love picking out the few words I understood.  It just brought me back to the day I gave my farewell.  How deeply terrified I was to know that in a few short days I would become a full time missionary.  I tried to hide that fear.  But I also was SO excited.  I didn't know what to expect.  Ahh.  I remember that day in Sacrament meeting.  It was good. 

 

Our fireside we did was about member missionary work (of course!!).  We were going to stress the importance of it, and that everyone NEEDS to watch the Worldwide broadcast about missionary work that was given June 21.  Turns out, only 6 people came...that is including the bishop and the ward mission leader.  Isn't that awesome?!  Haha.  It was alright.  We still did the fireside.  It went well.  But.  We are going to repeat it next month.  No one will ever know we did it once already.  A woman died in our ward the day the broadcast was shown, so most of the ward members didn't watch it.  We are thinking about getting the bishop to show it for the last 2 hours of church one Sunday.  This broadcast is SO important for members.  I remember being there and thinking, "Why are we here?  This is more for the members than us as missionaries!! "  I am so glad we watched it, but really.  It was for members.  It is great.  I encourage all of you who haven't watched it, to watch it.

 

Missionary work is just so great.  I am grateful for this opportunity I have to dedicate all I have to this wonderful, glorious work. 

 

Not much happened this week.  We have to give Amador and Junior to the English Elders.  We found out they prefer church in English.  We are so sad to let them go!  But it is okay.  It is important they go with them. 

 

Did I tell you about Tiwi??  It is a computer they put in every missionary vehicle here in our mission.  You have to log in with a card that is under your name.  And it keeps track of how you drive!  So if you speed, don't wear your seat belt, drive aggresively, etc.  It is tracked under your name!  So President knows how we drive.  Isn't that awesome??  Haha.  Dad, you should get one for Owen when he starts driving!! ;)

 

Okay.  Well.  That's really about it.  Sorry...not many cool stories this week.  I hope y'all have a fantastic week.  Thanks for the prayers and support.  I love it here.  I love my mission.  I don't want it to end (Thank goodness I just got here).  It feels like I just went into the MTC though.  I am afraid this will speed by.  Anyway, until next week! :)

 

Love,

 

Hermana Ah Mu

"When confronting the devil, you go in twos!!!"

Hola mi amores,

 

(don't really even know if amores is a word...I'm hoping that translates to Hello my loves? Pahaha.  Oh Spanish.)

 

I had a FANTASTIC WEEK!!  There can't be such a thing as having a bad week.  Or bad day.  I've never had a bad day, it's just not possible.  This week.

 

Had a great week!  Seriously, everyday is so great.  I don't think there is such a thing as having a bad day on my mission.  It can't be possible.  I love being a missionary so much.  I love helping people come unto Christ and being the Lord's instrument in this glorious work.  It's the best. 

 

This week we taught Gilberto and Eva about the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity.  They were already following the Law of Chastity and will now start the Word of Wisdom.  We have checked up on how that is going, they are doing so well.  Gilberto knows that it is not good, he is so accepting of the gospel, it is great.  Though he has not been able to attend church the last few weeks because his sister has heart failure.  He visits with her on Sundays because he works during the week.  We have to put his baptismal date back, but I know he will be baptized.  It's so exciting. 

 

We have been teaching Olga in the hospital.  She is so ready to be baptized, but since Hermana Corniea and I are not her missionaries we just had her pray about a baptismal date.  Once she gets out of the hospital the Elders are planning on going and meeting with her.  Olga is so great. 

 

We taught Amador and Junior.  Amador is very very accepting of the gospel, he is really progressing.  We just hope he can make it to church this sunday.  He has health problems and has had problems with his truch getting vandalized.  But now his truck is parked in the garage (finally haha) and he is feeling okay about leaving it there now.  Junior, he is a very awesome man.  He looks a little rough on the outside, but we have found that he is a very loving person, and searching for the truth.  We taught him a little about the Plan of Salvation.  Emphasized that we are able to be with families forever.  He really loved that.  He is praying to know if what we teach is true and if he can have an eternal family.  It was just so cool though, because Junior cusses up a storm.  Until we bring up the gospel.  He loves to talk, but I knew that for some reason I needed to bring up eternal families.  So finally there was a break between topics and such.  So I said, "Hey, Junior we have just been teaching Amador about what happened before we were born, what we need to do on earth now, and what will happen after we die.  And one thing we believe is that we can be with our families forever.  I know that you love your family alot, wouldn't you like to be with your family forever?"  He stopped everything.  His countenance totally changed.  He said yes.  That his family is THE most important thing.  That he has heard that we won't remember each other in heaven, but he would love to remember his kids.  And be with them forever.  It was so neat.  Junior looks a little rough on the outside (covered in tatoos, shaved head, etc.)  But on the inside he is searching.  He wants this gospel.  He has wanted this gospel and didn't even know he wanted this!!  But yeah!  We taught the Plan of Salvation, focusing on eternal families.  During this lesson, I shared my testimony of eternal families.  I also shared why I am here, and that I KNOW I am not wasting my time here.  I told him that I have stuff to do!  I need to go to school!  I don't want to be away from my family for 18 months.  I don't want to be away from music and movies for 18 months.  But all this, my mission is not about me.  It's not about me at all.  I told him my mission is about the people in California, and at that moment him specifically.  I want to help people come unto Christ.  I want everyone to be able to know that we can be with our families forever!  Everyone wants that.  So after that testimony I shared, it was very quiet.  The spirit was there.  I had tears in my eyes.  And Junior finally said, "Now that.  That is from the heart, I know it is."  He felt the spirit.  We all did.  And it was funny, when I first met Junior, he thought we were wasting our time.  But at the end of our lesson, we asked him to pray.  Pray about whether or not we were wasting our time doing the things we do, and he interupted that statement and said, "Oh. No, I know you aren't wasting your time."  We asked him to pray about it anyway and to pray about an eternal family.  We prayed with them, Amador actually said the prayer, and the things he asked for in that prayer was amazing.  It was amazing.  SO COOL.  Ahh, I just love the gospel.  Junior and Amador are just the greatest!  I hope that they can one day partake of the wonderful blessings this gospel has to offer.

 

This week we taught Ana, a woman who has been investigating for over 20 years.  She has a learning disability, so it is very hard for her to grasp the lessons.  Hermana Corniea and I are working hard to help her understand it all.  So we always make sure she is able to understand things before we move on.  I asked her to pray about getting baptized on the 21 of September.  She said she would.  I know that this gospel will make her so happy, I hope that we can be able to teach clearly and with power so that she can come to understand it all.  We pray for that every day.

 

This week I learned that the children in our ward know so much Spanish!  So I have started asking them how to say words in Spanish.  It is actually VERY helpful, and they love doing it, it's like a game for them.  I am working on the articles of faith with a 6 year old in our ward.  Every time we see each other at church or go to her house for dinner we quiz each other.  Haha, she has more Articles of Faith memorized than me!  But I know that the Articles of Faith will be helpful for me, and they are just important to know. 

 

Did I ever mention that I am the piano player in Relief Society??  I don't think anyone in our ward can play except for me and another Elder in our ward.  So he plays in Sacrament meeting and I do Relief Society.  See mom?  It's a good thing I practiced before I left, huh??  Haha.

 

Today my companion reminded me that I have been on a mission for 2 months D:  What the heck?!  Where has time gone??  I just got to the MTC.  I JUST got to California. 

 

Dad, we drive a Ford Fusion...and guess what year it is??  2013!  There's less than 7000 miles on it...We as missionaries are entrusted with a lot...including a brand new car.  Where else can you trust 18 and 19 year olds...and up with a brand new vehicle?!  I don't know where else.  We call our car the spaceship though.  Haha, it feels like we're in one every time we get in it!

 

There is something funny that happens at ward events and stuff.  My companion looks pretty white, now that can be taken as racism, but just ask her!  She'll say the same.  But anyway, people in our ward say I look like I could be hispanic...and it is a custom to kiss on the cheek.  Well, a lot of the time ward members will hug me and kiss me, while just shaking Hermana Corniea's hand!  PAHA.  We always laugh when that happens.

 

Sometimes we'll be walking down the street and I will say hi to people.  Sometimes, well usually just the old ladies, they always respond, "Thank you daughter."  In Espanol of course!

 

There is a family in our ward...they are just THE best.  It's Vero, and her 4 kids.  She tells us that the missionaries are her family.  She takes care of us, we always tell her she is our mom right now since our moms are far away.  I'm just grateful for their family...they help me with Spanish, but they can speak English too!!  I love people that speak english!!!!  SO MUCH!!  Haha. 

 

I still don't know much Spanish.  good thing we are only half way through the transfer because...I'm terrified for the moment it's over.  I am afraid Hermana Corniea is going to leave.  Everyone keeps telling me that she is going to leave and that I will have to train.  Seriously though.  I can't train.  I would be sick if that is the case...good thing it's not for another 3 weeks!!!!!!

 

I have learned a lot about the importance of sharing my testimony throughout lessons, rather than just at the end.  You can tell that the people we are teaching can feel the truthfulness of my words when I share testimony of our message. 

I love Oxnard.  I love Hermana Corniea, she teaches me pretty much 24/7.  Haha, it's so good!  I love our ward, the ward members are so nice, even when I don't understand them or don't know how to respond.  I love the people.  I still am amazed at how quickly I love people.  It's like I already loved these people before I got here.  I know that I am supposed to be here.  I am thankful for the opportunity to be here.  I love being a missionary. 

 

Have a fantastic week!  I know I will have one!! :D  I thought about my last email...I hope it didn't sound too rude, the part about letters instead of emails.  Thank you for all of the prayers.  Don't worry about me!!  The only thing I am really struggling with is Spanish...that's to be expected though!! :)  Esta Bien!!!  Read your scriptures.  Pray.  Keep the commandments.  AND!!  Here's my challenge for EVERYONE.  Pray about someone who could use this gospel.  And tell the missionaries to go by.  WE love referrals!!  AND, feed the missionaries.  Cereal at a members home is SO much better than eating at our apartment.  we don't care about the food.  It's the people we're surrounded by:)

 

Love,

 

Hermana Ah Mu

 

Charlee thank you SO much for the letter.  I will write back as soon as I can, P-days really aren't what you would imagine them to be like.  They are sometimes, most of the time, more stressful than the other days of the week!!  And Sister Bell!!  Tell Kayley Congratulations that I wish I could be there!!  But I am going to be at a baptism for one of our investigators that SAME day!  So that is pretty neat :)

Hermana AhMu upon arrival in Ventura, California with her mission president and his wife, President and Sister Castro.
