Californi-ayyyy

May not be in Ohio anymore, but we still ain't messin with Michigan Whadddup. Okay first of all, this was the hottest week of my entire life, and I wore SPF 100 and STILL got burnt. I'm too pasty for my own good. This morning we went on a hike, and it reminded me of that hike I went on with Sydney and Liz B... where I complained a lot, and wanted to die. But it's okay. I made it. It's fine.... I'm fine. But anyway, This week we had exchanges, which was fun. I went to Bloomington and so there was 4 of us in the apartment, but it was literally a party. I should have picked up Spanish in that one night.. sorry fam if I disappointed. Another thing I realized is the power of tongues is so real, you know how many cats and dogs meowed and barked back to me? Teaching everyone and their dogs, literally. Also the other night we did some tracting, and this guy opened his door, but everyone has storm doors here so you can't see the people but th...

Sister Christiansen and I (she hates taking pictures) Lol ayeeeeee. California is lit but representing the Lord is sooooo much cooler. Sister Christiansen is so fun honestly, she has the cheerful personality that makes it hard to even be a little down. Also I talk to everyone and she thinks it's cool so there's that.  So last week it was so hot, but recently it's been like in the low 80s and 70s, We went on a hike this morning and it was 66 degrees.  Wot n tarnation. . We went on a hike this morn This past week we met a man named Javier, it was cool, he's been alcohol free for 17 years! When we had our first lesson with him, he said his life has been hard and that he was about to start crying before we stopped and talked with him. He said he believes everything happens for a reason. It was cool. It's neat to see how people open up to us. Also every time we drive by a McDonald's I make a comment on how we should get it. Finally Sis...

HEY! So I finally made it to California. It's been good. I have a fun companion, her name is Sister Christiansen.  She's funny. She's also very up best, so that's cool, I'm in G T, am I suppose to say my Location? Well here we are. There's like 1 white person for every 50 hispanic person. I'm gonna try and learn Spanish, but Sister C isn't for that. What ever. I made promises I was gonna become Latina. We have an area 70 talk to us all weekend, Elder Larry Y. Wilson. He's very funny.  Saturday we had an adult session thing with him, President and Sister Dixon (Mission President and wife. also talked, and others. It's was neat. Then we had stake conference, and then yesterday (why pday is today) we had a missionary meeting thing. It was all day with him. It was neat. Missionaries were put in groups and we did like a preview for a movie but instead of movie, it was for the Book of Mormon. It was funny. I wish I knew everyone so I cou...

Less than a week until I head to Redlands! As much as I have loved the MTC, I am ready to deuce out. So those who are friends with my mom on Facebook, I am sure you have heard about the excitement I had on Saturday. I woke up around 3 am (which we don't wake up until 6:30) in severe pain. My first thought was cramps, but nothing I did made it feel better. It was a sharp pain and I really felt like my insides were on fire. I just kind of tossed around in pain in my bed trying to be quiet. around 5:50 I realized the pain was only getting worse, so I went to wake up one of my companions, then all the sisters in my room woke up. I at this point, am crying and kinda moving everywhere because dying. Me and Sister Rivas ended up going to the ER, and I was literally screaming, it was embarrassing, but I could not stop. The doctor said he thinks its kidney stones.WHAT. I had to get a ct scan, and they said it came back clean, but there was blood in my urine, also te...
