This week was good....  We had elder Carlson from the Seventy come down for a mission tour.  It was a meeting from 8am to 5.  Super good, though.  Learned some mind blowing stuff about the premortal life, eternal law and the standard of law for different degrees of glory, and what it means to be truly consecrated and give your life fully over to The Lord.  I'll share some more details later, because we honestly don't have much time to email today.  Oh!  And towards the end of the meeting president asked 2 missionaries to share a 2 minute talk about what we're doing to be more consecrated.  Guess who happened to be one of those missionaries to speak in front of half the mission and elder Carlson?  Yep, me.  

Then on Saturday we had the baptism for Luisa and Elba.  I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost.  I actually did a pretty killer job, too!  You will get pictures soon!

On Sunday no one we expected to come came to church.  However, Marcos and his son, Marcos Jr showed up randomly at church!  It was a pleasant surprise! He went with us that night to a fireside, too.  Se llama "porque creo". They usually have 2 every transfer, one in Ingles (why I believe) and 1 in Spanish.  Recent converts share their testimonies and there's always pretty musical numbers.  It was a good experience.  Our ward mission leader, Hermano Salmeron, helped him out with a ride.  He helped us out a lot yesterday.  

The weather here is perfect!  I can't say I'll be looking forward to tomorrow, though, because transfers are tomorrow and I'm TRAINING!  Yay... Sister Webb is going to an english area and her new comp is sister Fox.  She is NOT happy about it.  Especially going english.  I'm extremely nervous about training a brand new sister who doesn't speak spanish (yes, all the new sisters are white..) but I kind of have to keep it all in and rely on a lot of prayer because Sister Webb is kind of cursing God and the president right now...refusing to accept that her call is by revelation, soo...I'm trying to avoid that.  Ha.  I can't get her to keep a good perspective about it, though.  She's choosing to be angry about it. So I'm not letting myself freak out.  I trust that Heavenly Father qualifies those He calls. Even though I'm nervous about my new assignment, I trust Heavenly father knows what He's doing.

I'm not getting Christmas presents? :(  (of course she is)

By the way, I heard Catching Fire was good??
