Happy happy happy (late) 4th of July!! Sounds like you all had a
great 4th of July :) As I was celebrating the 4th here in California I
learned a lot about sacrifices that were being made and my heart was
seriously overflowing with gratitude. Being away from family and
friends this year gave me just a glimpse of what other families are
sacrificing for MY rights and freedoms. How grateful I am to live in
this country and enjoy the freedoms that I have including freedom of
religion. It couldn't have been better!
The whole day was just beautiful! We got up for our morning run and
guess what! There was a hot air balloon! I had never seen a hot air
balloon before so I knew that that was a sign for a great day ahead!
We had our studies and then the Sisters that we live with wanted to go
to lunch so we had a roommate lunch at Denny's! An hour later we had
another lunch with a member at Carls Jr. (Talk about missionary
15lbs)! Oh my gosh. It was good. We had so much fun! After that we had
weekly planning. Hermana Palmer and I were exhausted! But we got
through it! FINALLY after a lonnnng day of waiting we got a call from
Sister Alba!!! She told us that Hermana Palmer was going to train
which means that I was being transferred out!!! She told me that I was
getting transferred to...Santa Rosa!! I was so excited because it is
rare for a Spanish Hermana to serve in Santa Rosa. I got so lucky! Oh
and..oh my gosh. I am so nervous for this one but guess what! I will
be serving in a TRIO this next transfer! A trio! I am really excited
for that don't get me wrong :) it's going to be nice because one of
the Hermanas that I am serving with is from Spain and so she is a
native speaker! I am beyond excited for that! Plus I know her already.
It will be great!
Yesterday was kind of sad though because every Sunday since I have
been here I have had investigators at church..until yesterday. I was
so sad :( So we went by and I started saying my goodbyes! I am sad to
leave Woodland, but I am ready! I am so excited for the transfer ahead
of me :) Its going to be so good!
Oh and p.s. Oh my gosh! Guess what happened to us last Monday. We
were stranded at the car wash for 2 1/2 hours. I am being for real. It
was ridiculous! We were vacuuming our car and Hermana Palmer put her
purse and the keys in the trunk and I had no idea that she put the
keys in the trunk! So after we were done vacuuming I went around and
shut the trunk. We got in the car and Hermana Palmer just sits there
and then she looks at me and goes...wait a second..did you shut the
trunk. Haha we tried everything to get that stupid trunk open. We
tried putting the back seats down and realized that the lever that we
have to pull to let down the seats was in the front of the trunk. And
our lever that is by the from seat where you can just pull the lever
and the trunk will pop right open WE THOUGHT didn't work actually has
a little trick to it. All you do is first push down on the trunk and
then pull the lever by the front seat and the trunk will pop right
open. Well 2 1/2 hours later with calls that were made to our fleet
department and multiple car shops in town we simply pushed down on the
trunk, pulled the lever and the trunk opened. We felt soooooooo dumb!
Oh my gosh. And the whole time we were there not one person asked what
was wrong or if we needed help. Heck! They didn't even say hi! Oh wait
there was one guy that said hi. I was like, Hermana Palmer, we must
not be in Round Valley anymore :)
I hope that you all have a fun week! Love you!
