Third Time's a Charm

So....Im moving again. The third time in 9 weeks that I am taking over someones area. Super fun....Anyways Ill keep it short cause I dont have lots of time. Most of this week has been coordinating and helping missionaries get settled in their areas. The Zone Leaders and I have been running around all week answering questions and helping things move along. I am now in the Berkshire ward, and am actually in the same area I was in 6 months ago when I was in Fairview ward. So it will be fun, I get to go to all the people I was teaching and be like "What happened??" So im stoked! 

 

Here is the best district EVER!!!!

 Love you all!

Good Week

This week has been an interesting one for sure! Some pretty cool miracles happened and some frustrations as well! The frusterating stuff was that we are moving....again! They were supposed to tell us last week but they forgot I guess. So we packed everything up and have been cleaning and cleaning and cleaning! It wasnt until we were all packed that they told us that we were both staying in our area but are moving across the complex. I lost my mind I was so frustrated. Its algood though, but if you are going to send me anything make sure you send it to the new address! 

 

The super cool part about this week was that I got to confer the Aaronic Priesthood on Theodore! It was insane and I was really scared that I would screw it up but I didnt...probably! Nobody said anything so I would assume it wasnt a disaster! Anyways, thats all for this week! We had the dopest District EVER! As well as "Cuts by Carper" is officially running!

Why are the mountains green?

 

First off. JAMIE CAME THE WARD PARTY!!!!! (my cousin) First official interaction with the church in almost 20 years! That was literally the coolest thing ever I was jumping around everywhere like a 4 year old. They said they enjoyed it, even though they got swarmed with the members! Everyone wanted to meet them cause I talk about them so much, they didnt get overwhelmed though so that is a good thing! They didnt come to church unfortunately but I told he that she has a an eternal spot saved on the bench next to us! 

Other cool stuff that happened was Elder Myers got to skype in for his older brothers baptism. That was a really cool experience, we were 2000 miles away and we could feel the same spirit that was there in that room. It was a huge testimony builder for me seeing who is Brother is after hearing all these crazy stories about him. The gospel truly changes people, and its such a blessing to see it first hand! 

We were playing janitor for a long time this week making sure our last apartment was in ready condition to sell, it worked out well though! We got an A from the housing coordinators whose Brother, wait for it, is the President of Pixar and Disney animationl....WTHECK? The guy wrote Toy Story...so I love him.

Thats pretty much the super cool miracles of the week, Im looking forward to not having any distractions this week so we can find as many people as possible. Im giving a baptisimal interview tonight and am teaching the Book of Mormon class tomorrow so we will be busy!

The picture is from last week for our Zone Activity. We went down into the mountains of Bakersfield, and everything was green. It was really weird...the first thing the member said when they drove us down there was "What the? Why are the mountains green?" So I am going to guess that we were pretty lucky to go there at that time. I dont know why Im frowning in the picture...cause I was super happy to be up there! Love you all, have a solid week!
