Dear Family,

Wow...just 1 1/2 wks left of this transfer. i seriously cannot believe it! it's been amazing.

 My district mtg. this morning went well! i talked about having faith in Christ & that no matter what happens in life during our mission, as it gets difficult and hard as long as we have that faith and understand our potential as authorized servants of the Lord that we will have the power to do whatever we need. the spirit was strong- i asked each of them to share their fav. quote from PMG and from the scriptures that have helped them in trying times. and of course- we ended w/ cereal for a treat! that's been the thing this whole transfer w/ "Fruit Loops" being the theme. haha, I've been bringing cereal flavors that were the favs of the sisters. so today we had cookie Crisps, and Berry Capt crunch, and Kashi. haha! 

 i love the sisters in my district. they are all so hard working and loving. i'm sad for this transfer to be over. :( but i know there are many good things in store for next transfer! i' ve been going on a lot of exchanges this week-w/ the sisters in my district. i feel like i learn so much from them!

so what's new for the family? what's going on? keep me updated like you always do! 

oh! i had a neat experience while on exchanges w/ Sister Gaunder from Australia. we had the 8pm West Gate Tour-and we had four BYU students--2 guys & 2 girls, and then 4 non member international students from China, Indonesia, Germany, and Japan? --they were all girls so we took them  all on our tour. the spirit was just strong as we were able teach them- especially as we stood in front of the temple- and the whole tour just went really smoothly- and at the end we invited them and 2 of the international students referred! and it was really neat b/c the byu students could have just left after the tour if they wanted to - but they stayed afterwards and helped the guests better understand the B.o.M we were there by the big display on that, and i talked w/ the girl from China for a while and she was here studying in the states getting her PHD and she'd been here for a few years, but expressed how stressed she was , and how much she missed her family back in China but as she had been here at temple square she felt such a peace and talking w/ us-helped her to feel so much better. and i told her that as the missionaries came to bring her the B.O.M. (she had referred and requested the B.o.M.) that she would feel that same peaceful feeling. and as she would read it too. it was just a sweet experience to be a part of.

 i hope that everything is going ok. is aldo still alive? hope so! :)
