Only Two Types of Days, Faith Building and Faith Strengthening....

April 8, 2010

I am so glad you got the pictures. Finally!!!! That was my third try and today before we came here I went and printed off all those pics and some to mail them to you.

Transfers happened yesterday. That is why I am writing today. I am still in West Valley, which I am actually really excited about. I am in a threesome. trio. This is going to be a great transfer. Sister Blackwelder (Florida) and Hermana Arce (Paraguay) are my new companions. We are not living at the Earl’s any more. I tried not to be too excited but I am I told the Assistants that they have their 25 yr old son living with them now. So uncomfortable. We live on the same level as the family and right next door the master bedroom I fall asleep to Bro Earl snores and wake up to them through out the night, but no more!!!! Having an unmarried man in the same house as the missionaries is a BiG mission no-no. They kind of freaked when I told them. So we moved into the split level apt with the Spanish speaking elders in our area. We spent about 5 hours cleaning it today. I am surprise that they are still living to be honest. I had the job of bathroom. Any ways we have a bunk bed and a bed in a room just a little bit bigger then Katie's room. but the rest of the house makes up for it. So happy. Last night was the funnest I had as a missionary teaching. All we did was run from apt to apt. I feel like a missionary now. Focused! It is awesome to have Heramana Acre as a companion for a lot of the people that we are teaching are Latino and so we teach in Spanish and English. Busting out baptisms now. No more giving all the Spanish speaking to the other zone. We have an hour in the morning for language study now for her to continue to learn English and Sister Blackwelder and I are going to try to learn some Spanish, maybe. The words that I have been taught thus far I butcher. They like to play the games/sports on p-day.!!!!! We have a lot of potentials and we are going to work hard now no holding back. Watch out West Valley!! I decided there are only two types of days. Faith Building days and Faith Strengthening days. Building is when I see miracles and the others when the Lord tests our faith. He builds and strengthens, builds, and strengthens.

Love you all I have letters in the mail
