Ether 6 or 12

TRANSFER CALLS!! Yeah, I'm not going anywhere :) 12 weeks in Ft. Pierce! And neither is Hna Andrus; she's dying in Ft. Pierce.

This week's highlights:

- It rained for the first time in forever!! I love the rain! And even better, we got to go tracting in the rain! The worst is when you enter someone's house or a church meeting right as it starts to sprinkle, then the whole storm passes while you're occupied inside. (Some of my best memories of the MTC are standing with my head out the window while it rained)

 - One of the Ward missionaries came up to us kinda upset that we never call her, so we took her to our next set lesson and she rocked it! She never missed a chance to bear testimony about a gospel principle and she mentioned almost every auxiliary in the church!! #wardmissionariesforthewin!!

- We were able to meet the non-member family of a missionary who's serving in - wait for it! - ConcepciĆ³n South!! They're super cool and even fed us burritos when we dropped by unannounced. They're awesome and we hope to stay in contact with them more. (Any suggestions on how to help them through the first few months of having a missionary out?)

- The sisters in Palm Bay (AKA English sisters that are 1 hour away) let us Skype into a Spanish lesson! I old Spanish ladies! Her name is Millie and She's super great; she comes to church every Sunday, but she ends up going to the 9 am, not the 12. The sisters have been trying to get her to change, and they even mentioned that next year their ward will be at 9am. To that Millie said "Well then I guess we'll be in the same ward next year."

- The best one: Hermana Turcio of the Relief Society presidency surprise took our entire district to lunch at La Granja. Inca Kola ALL around! She also wasn't afraid to talk about everything missionaries are told to not talk about (like pencil skirts and dating) mostly because her daughter just got home from a mission and is trying to re-enter the dating field. Also because she's Hispanic and Hispanic people are just the best!

Well, this week I learned a lot from Elder Bednar's talk called "Accepting the Lord's Will and Timing." And yes I'm going to make you go read them so you can experience for yourselves what a good talk it is. Also, the "But If Not..." talk is always a classic. Naturally. (From Charade, naturally.)

I'm praying for y'all to have a great week too! Enjoy!

Proof I love the rain.

Thanks mom! I forgot to take a picture of the finished meringues before I ate them, but they were super good!
