It´s the final count down....but not trunky...yet.‏

Dear family,

Hola! ¿Como estan todos? Muy bien, espero. Okay So this is the first day of my last transfer. So weird. Last night as I opened my planner to plan for today we were very dramatic. I opened it, unwillingly, and hermana Sperry shot me! okay, it was an imaginary gun. Then I said ha! you missed you only thought you were going to kill me. Well I realize that sounds horrible, but if you don´t know, it´s kind of missionary terms. When you are the last companion of someone who is ending their mission, you ¨kill¨ them. Well I said she almost killed me, because I thought she was going to be transferred, in which case her ¨bullet¨missed. Okay so that doesn´t sound nearly as exciting in writing as it was in real life, sorry. Well the truth is I was right! ha ha. Hermana Sperry has been transferred to Urquiza! ya, actually they are splitting the area, so she´ll be living with hermana Binks, cool huh. So my new companion is Hermana Renteria, she´s from Ventura CA. She´s super sweet and this is her second transfer, so looks like I´ll just finish up training her. It´s gonna be fun. I´ll try and send pictures next week.

Okay so this week went by super fast. We had so many miracles. I can´t believe all that we accomplished. We taught 18 lessons with members. That is a new record for me and Hermana Sperry and I were really blessed. So we´ll try and keep that going, although it really doesn´t matter how many lessons you teach if your investigators aren´t progressing, well that´s were we are at at the moment. It´s always one thing or an other. We did teach this elderly gentleman named Ernesto the other day. He is atheist, it was really great. It was great to see that the spirit was touching his heart and he could see the reason behind a lot of what we said. I love analogies and those really seemed to help him too. So yeah, that was pretty great.

Ummmmm, OH Hermana Sperry sprained her ankle on Tuesday, so that added to adventure of every day. She´s a trooper and didn´t let her slow her down, okay, yes literal it did slow her down, but spiritually and mental no.

So it sounds like things are going well there. I got a few letters today, I haven´t had a chance to read them yet, but thanks to the Treibers, the murrys, and to Heidi Isaksen, they mean a lot. Thanks for the emails too, mom, dad, aunt Janie, jac (i really want to think about that and I´ll tell you what I think, it´s really interesting so I want to ponder it a bit before I respond), and brother Thurmond

Okay so that´s all I got coming to mind, Love you all.

Lots of Love,

Aleta
