Missing Naps and Testing Patience, first week

Heyyyy, happy first week! I'm sure you're all dying to know how my first week at the MTC has been..... it's been alright.. I'm in a trio, for those of you who don't know what that is, I have two companions, they're super cute. Sister Rivas is just like me, except southern  (you can't imagine how many times I've said "wot n tarnation") and there's Sister Vest, let's just say without her, we would never be on time for anything or work on anything. She's cute, and it's fun to study with her because she knows sooooo much, it's crazy.

I have the most lit district, the elders are ballers and the sisters are fun. We stay clowning.

This week went by very fast, and I've only had a hand full of meltdowns. It's fine, I'm fine. 

But honestly it's so crazy how much I've learned and grown in just 7 days. I'm ready for California, send me now please. We've been teaching "investigators" but it's been honestly really exciting. I've never really realized how much I knew about the church until I was put on the spot. I know it's generic to say but the spirit is always very strong and makes me feel so excited for the next 18 months. 

I miss naps.... a lot. The sisters in my room like to talk and I'm trynna sleep, but once again, it's fine, I'm fine.
I'VE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE I KNOW HERE! There's two sisters I met while at BYUI Sister Rowley and Sister B (idk how to spell that but she was in my ward at BYUI) and elder idk his last name but his first names scott, he was in my philosophy class at BYUI. It's cute.
My patience has been tested so much since being here... can I say THAT? Oh well. It's hard because I'm trynna be lit and clown but for some reason some people are trying to change that?  Like let me be me and have a great time... I know I know "missions are to help you grow " and blah blah blah,  I'm still me and still got my tendencies . 
But other than that having a blast...

Also anyone remember Elder Teames?  He's a teacher here so it's been fun seeing him... my duuude.

Hey BTW I can read emails during the week, so please send me emails because I will lose sanity teehee... But seriously maybe send pictures because I feel like I don't have enough to show off.
If I'm missing anything I'll just send next week. Maybe. Maybe not.
Idk I'll just send pictures to finish the rest I guess hehe. Okay but love you all, please drink Dr. Pepper for me and take an extra long nap in my memory hehe.
Also my district number or whatever is 33A so if you want to sent me letters via dear elder that would also be litty 
I hope I have more exciting things for next Thursday!  Stay tuned and thanks for loving me hehe

Okay okay ,  it's transfer week, I'm about to have the most baller last transfer or my life because I'm still with Sister Harris (Love of my life ) and I'm staying in the YSA  (Also love of my life )  I'm so excited. Okay, can we talk about 3 days in a row somebody brought up how I was going home soon ? Friday : Guenter : "hey! You're almost done !" Me : *wrecked * Saturday : Elder Rodriguez : "Sister Wingate !

I'm fine.  But we did have some cool miracles this week.  We made pumpkin cookies with our friend Lyndsee to drop off to the sororities/ frat houses around the University of Redlands. We went to one home and they told us we were welcome back anytime! ...

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo, This week was very .. . We got puli tahas! aka tongan attire  So first we had interviews with president, which was cool. President Dixon, he is kind of a funny guy, which makes it fun to talk to him. But nothing too exciting happened there. Transfers are Wednesday, and Sister Ganus and I are staying together another transfer. Wow. Same companion AND area for more than 1 transfer? I will let you know how that goes. I told President I wouldn't know what it was like to have something constant for 2 transfers, and he apologized and said when he put me in Rialto 1st he was expecting me to be there a while, but Tonga needed me. He also told me that Bishop B. (of Rialto 1st) told him if he could ever get me back to Rialto 1st he needs to do it. So President ALSO told me he can see me going back there towards the end of my mission. I would be so excited. What else happened this week? OH!I got the flu! so that sucked....

Me and a pumpkin  So wow , it was a lot of lasts this week.Had my last zone conference , It was interesting , Elder Schetselaar almost passed out at the pulpit. I gave my testimony at zone conference because I am going home,  I held myself together,  accidentally put my hand in Elder Schetselaars sweat at the pulpit too. Then we closed zone conference with "I'll go where you want me to go" and I straight lost it, I just sobbed, I couldn't even get words out. I looked at President and he just gave me a smile and a wink. How dare he send me away :(  Then we got flu shots !! FREE flu shots, I love free things.  Then we had MLC, my last MOW. Last time seeing some of my friends until I go home #wrecked  It was cool because my entire mission , if someone has shared a scripture around me , I mark it , and we spent the first like 10 minutes of MLC sharing different scripture verses from the Book of Mormon !  We went in a corn maze/ ...
