A little longer at Scripps Ranch


So, we got transfer calls today and Sister Ritter and I will be staying her in Scripps Ranch for another transfer...we were both expecting that but still there is always a little excitement when this day comes each 6 weeks. This morning we took a sister to the airport and we have her companion with us for the day. She found out she is whitewash training (whitewash means she and her companion are both leaving her area and she and her new companion will both be new in the next area.) Anyway, it has been a crazy day w/ all of that going on. Heavenly Father certainly directs the work and there are countless times when I have been surprised by something because it isn't how I was planning it to happen or I wouldn't have picked that setup on my own and then blessings and miracles come forth because Heavenly Father knows what he is doing! I testify to that truth, this is his vineyard, he loves his vineyard, and he knows what to do with it.
We had some cool experiences this week w/ our street contacting. We taught 2 discussions to random people we met and they both took at least an hour. I'm not sure what will come from it but I DO know that God is leading us to these people and we're being mouthpieces for him. I just hope it is enough.
We are still working w/ Dulce, Lupita, and Leslie (and our other investigators of course but these are the most committed.) Dulce should be at church this week!!!! Please please pray for that!
We're having a Mission President's Fireside in our stake on the 9th. Its sort of a musical night of the missionary choir and some of the missionaries do musical numbers. We also watch mormon messages and have recent converts bare their testimonies, then President Clayton will say a few words at the end. They are so powerful! I'm excited because it is a great finding opportunity and I'll be singing a musical number in it. That makes it even more pulling because a lot of people are willing to come to support you! :) Yay! I'm singing w/ Elder Lloyd and Wallentine...it's a folksy version of "Jesus Savior Pilot Me" Hymn 104. I'm going to try and attach a copy of us practicing it...hope it works. Love you all so so much! Thanks for everything! Keep praying for me and tell Desi and Kris that I am SO EXCITED FOR THEM!
 
Sorry, it is WAY too big! I'll find a way to get it to you....maybe when I get home haha! Sorry!
 
The 1st picture is from a pond on the Miramar Marine Corps base we had a picnic at a few weeks ago!
The other is an Higo...a delicious fruit that Dulce gave us...a weird cross between sprouts and watermelon! haha!
