Hey everyone,
Well not too much has happened since Thursday.

This week was transfer calls though... and I am being
transferred to North Salem, to be serving with Hermana Rodriguez. I am only
happy to be serving with her. To be honest, Salem was the last place I wanted
to go. I have never heard anything good about that place. All I know about
where I am going is that it Is the only Spanish ward in the mission, we have
like 5 sets of missionaries or something like that, and the members don't like
the missionaries and they don't like to do missionary work. Also the ward
apparently doesn't get along to well because it used to be 2 branches but then
they put them together and they hate each other. So sounds like there is a lot
of healing that needs to be done there, I just hope to have even a little bit of
a difference.

So a lot of yesterday we went around to members houses so I
could say goodbye to them, and needless to say, I have cried a lot in the last
couple days. I never realized how much of impact I have had on the branch
members here in McMinnville until they were saying bye to me yesterday and told
me how I have effected their lives. It's really nice to know that you've made a
difference in the lives of those you serve.
I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to serve with Hermana
Tanuvasa even if it was only for a short time. She is an amazing missionary and
extremely hard working. She has taught me how to be more goal oriented and what
it means to really use the Atonement in your life. I have really enjoyed this
time with her.
Well that's really it for this week. If you haven't seen it
yet, there is a new holiday video out and I really love it, and it has a
challenge to go along with it. I invite you all to go to
Mormon.org and watch the
video and take the challenge.
I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!
Love,
