Mission to Paradise: June 8, 2015

Familia,

This week is changes week! We are getting a new companion!!! She is adorable! She is from Guatemala and her name is Hermana Piche. :) That makes 2 companions from Guatemala, 2 from the States, and 4 from Mexico. :) I will send pictures of her when we take pictures. :) And of the house soon too.

I am excited. Being in a trio will be great! I hope! The plan is, the two of them will drop me off at the office with Hermana Burt, the office secretary, and then they will go work! And then they will come pick me back up and we will work together more! That way we stop loosing working hours while doing nurse stuff! So maybe our investigators will get baptized now!!! Wahoo!

(Our Investigator) came to church again this week! He is doing great! We just got several new references from ward members yesterday, so we are excited to visit them this week! Friday we had a ward missionary party and the members brought their friends. We played Ping Pong, Soccer, watched Mormon Messages, drank home-made root beer, and other cool things that happen at ward parties. We met 4 new investigators! This ward is doing great at inviting friends and giving references to the missionaries! I love it! :)

Only 3 more weeks until the mission split! Now every one knows what mission they will be in! I think... They never sent us anything official, but I think it is mostly official now... Every one is running around like crazy trying to get things ready. The insurance claims are almost all the way caught up! Hermana Petersen has been working hard!!! I am sad that President Wilkinson is going home. :( He is amazing... But I am excited to meet the new President in July! We have one last whole mission conference in 2 weeks to say goodbye to President!

Well that is about it... I hope all is well! Have a great week! LOVE YOU ALL!

Love,

Hermana Markle. :)

We call this place "Duck Park".

Homemade root beer for the ward party. We couldn't find dry ice anywhere! It is almost non-existant here. They finally found it at a Tool Factory or something strange like that!
