Week 44!

ayoo there's been a change to the pday every 6 weeks.. they're tryna keep us on our toes I guess:,)

but HEY wow! I hit 10 months as a missionary last week.. if a mission was equivalent to 80 years (ya know cause they say the mission is a metaphor for life), I would be around 46 right now... waiting for the midlife crisis fr.

we got transfer news last night & I'm staying!!! Artesia hasn't seen enough of me. all week I had a weird feeling I was leaving?.. I was confused but I am pleasantly surprised I'm staying. Sister Chock is leaving tho:( but she's going to LUBBOCK! I'm so excited for her. also QUEEN ELLIE sister sanders my daughter is going stl down there and Sister Mac is also going to be there so I told them all they need to give each other hugs for me. wow missions are awesome I'm seriously so amazed by the love I have for all of my companions. its incredible!

we had a pretty great time focusing on our members these past couple weeks... we had 11 member lessons plus dinner with a member every night! after every one, i was like "awww theyre one of my favorites" but I think the whole ward is haha. I seriously think this is the most united and loving ward I've ever been in and it's inspiring! they're all so focused on others so everyone gets taken care of!

we had an incredible lesson with jacob on Sunday. he's the one we've done phone call lessons with over messenger but this was our first one in person!! we sat on his porch swings and read from the book of mormon while his 6 year old son followed along in the picture book version. it was a very simple lesson but the spirit was SO strong! the gospel truly does bless individuals but especially families... Jacob has a desire to grow in his relationship with christ for himself & for his kids!

it got up to 108⁰ yesterday... I think our biking adventures might be over for a bit. My prayers go up for all the missionaries who have to bike around in this weather frrr.

I love yall!! I feel like I've been kind of bad at responding to people BUT I do love hearing from you so please email me or write me a letter!!! yall are amazing.
