 Hola Mom!

For my last transfer (dramatic pause) I will be staying in Noho 4to with Hna Smith! I am also staying as Sister Training Leader. I am VERY happy! This will be my 5th transfer in North Hollywood. It is rare to do 5 transfers in an area, but I did five in Canoga Park and will be doing five in NoHo! I can't believe I am on my last transfer. It does not feel real...I am starting something called MyPlan this week. It is a program that helps me set goals for the future. I am told I have to set dating goals. gross.

Kayloni and Greg are so sneaky! Too bad I was at the temple, but they left me some snacks..I love them so much! Hna Warren and Dunn and the Elders that live below us said that Aunt Kayloni was super nice :)

The temple was wonderful! Oh I just love the LA temple so much. We had lot's of time after our session while we waited for our ride to pick us up. We went to the visitor center, and we watched all the District Where Are They Now videos. We also got to watch the new Meet the Mormons videos! It was a very peaceful, fun day. A perfect birthday present.
Miracle for the week:
Yesterday we were out looking for less active/part member families. I felt a prompting to visit a specific family, but I knew the mom would not be there because she works in the afternoons, so I pushed the prompting aside. Well if I have learned anything on my mission it is FOLLOW THE SPIRIT, so I pulled the car around and we went and visited the B....... family. Literally right when we got to their gate a random lady pulled her car into the driveway. We started talking with her, and turns out she just moved here with her family from Virginia (where my comp is from). She is related to the B........ family, so she is staying with them for the next few months. She was baptized in Guatemala when she was 8 but has been less active for over 20 years! She has three kids and she wants them to go to primary and YWs!!! Can you believe that!? I love this quote from Presidente Monson,
  
 "The sweetest feeling I know of in life is to receive a prompting and act upon it...I always want the Lord to know that if He needs an errand run, Tom Monson will run that errand for Him." Trust God and follow the Spirit...what can go wrong?

Another Miracle:
Remember that crazy exchange I went on about 2 months ago...my tummy was growling and I stepped in a wad of gum?? That man we found during that exchange got baptized on Saturday!!! I got to go to the baptism, and it was a beautiful day!

Random:
I got my flu shot this week. I got a 5 dollar gift card to Target for getting a flu shot! So I signed up for a Target membership, but it ended up being more extensive than i thought...I hope I didn't sign my life away. I think it is coming to the house mailbox. Can you keep your eye on that? The cashier was just so nice and she wanted to talk about the gospel, so I signed up for a membership so we could talk longer....missionary problems :)

I think that is all! I love you Mom! Have a super duper week. LOOOOOOVE YOU! Save a Fatboy for me in the freezer ;)
