A symbol of 18 months of hard work

Where do I start?

NEW TRANSFER!! Hooray! Here are the details:
Companion: Sister Moisio from Finland!! YAY!! She's Scandinavian!! She was baptized a few years ago. She's incredible. ALWAYS happy. Hard worker. I AM SO excited to serve with her!
Same: Assignment, Apartment.
Fresh: perspective.

SF Game---CAR??
MOM + DAD. What is going on with all the vehicular issues?!? If need be, I can handle business. Sorry to hear that your primary modes of transportation are being used for target practice, or anger management objects.

BOX!!!
LOVED it. I couldn't decide what was my favorite part. Nicole's annotations, the HILARIOUS card, the bongo south African class from Farmer's market, the Campbell Express, or just knowing that you all teamed up and made it together. Thank you so much. It really meant a lot to me. :)

LAMMERS!!!
WHAT IS GOING ON?? I am writing you a letter soon. My friend said you are living in NEW JERSEY?? I am such a terrible friend. I need to check in with you! It sounds like you're doing SO great. Hello to the fam bam + Callie from me!

Gray hair
Probably my favorite story of the whole week. Sister Yao is hilarious. Sister Yao (my current companion, who is flying home to Taiwan tomorrow) has faithfully served 18 months here. Subsequently, she found a gray hair amongst her very black Taiwanese hair. Well, what do you do? Well, I'll tell you what she did. She treasured it. Put it in her pocket as a symbol of 18 months of hard work. Probably not the same symbol I would choose, but hey. And then, she gave it as a gift to our mission president. President Holmes had a pretty good laugh. :) So did I.

Tiffany Call!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I LOVED the chocolates, the Van Gogh paper and ESPECIALLY the check in. I'm a fan of the boy! I 110% support that choice. Glad you lived the dream! You are hilarious. I will be responding sooon..... ;)

Kelsey

We taught Kelsey this week. 19 years old. Incredible. She told us that she's having a hard time in her new place, but trying to get a ride to church. She's living in Vallejo, California (30 minutes from my home). When we called to teach her again, she had good news and bad news. We braced ourselves. Good news: She went to church! The bishop called back and was able to help her find a ride. What's more, she told us, "Sisters! I got the hook up at church! I got a Book of Mormon, a Preach My Gospel AND a Gospel Principles book!" Well...what was the bad news? She couldn't talk--she was spending time with some members who had invited her over for dinner. And tomorrow wouldn't work either, because she had basketball practice and was meeting with the missionaries. Doesn't sound like bad news to me. I LOVE MISSIONARY WORK. The best part is this: before we hung up, we said, "Well, we'll talk to you later Kelsey! Bye!" Kelsey: "Uh...Sisters, are we going to close with a prayer?" Oops. My mistake. Accordingly, we sent her this song: Did You Think to Pray? Because we didn't. Prayer is important! Thanks for the reminder Kelsey!
