Hikes, Puerto Ricans, and da drunks

Look at this fat daddy cat, or should I say, look at my future? Hello, Let me start this email with WE WENT ON ANOTHER STINKING HIKE I CANNOT HANDLE!!! You know, I don't remember the zone ever being like "Hey Sister Wingate. Do you think a hike would be good for a zone p-day activity?"  I'm mad! So you know I complained a lot, because I am MAD! At the end after hiking like 4 hours, I apologized for complaining so that's my good deed for the day.  BUT then we also saw Sister Simpkins! Even though I'm not in her ward anymore, still in the stake, and I love her so. What else happened this week ? Oh! Sister Anderson! So she was off date for a while, and she put herself back on date for baptism. She is awesome. We are doing a lesson outside the temple with her Thursday, I'm STOKED. Hmmm... We were driving down from Lytle Creek (the random mountain part in our area) and we saw kids that looked like they were in pain, so we...

Hey fam. . Family pic So this week was pretty fun, also I'm mad at how fast time is going. Also Sydney has brought to my attention that my emails are hard to understand so whoops.  I never know what to write about , but I'll talk about what happened last night.  Sister Smith and I were matching, I love her . SO! We were driving from dinner to go see some people, and when are driving along, and we see a really bad accident. Sister Read and I look at each other and wonder what we should do. Then we decided to pull over and see if there was anyway we could help. At first people told us they weren't sure what to do. So we were just like :/ and got back in our cars, but then fire trucks and ambulances came and blocked us in, and we see the driver walk over to the side, so we get out again. We ask what we can do. The lady asked us if we could pray with her because her daughter was stuck in the car. So we do. And as we are talking to her, the EMTs are try...

 Big Lexi Heyyyy! So much has happened this week.  Let's start with Interviews. So once a transfer we have interviews with our mission President.  President Dixon is so awesome. And okay so you know how I told you President came up to Sister Read and I and said how he put us together so last minute...... well me being me, I needed to know where I originally was going to be. So I asked him if I was allowed to know where I was going to go, and he said probably not BUT THEN YOU KNOW WHAT HE TOLD ME..... He said he thought it was maybe time to open up sisters to the Samoan ward. I THINK I ALMOST WAS IN A SAMOAN WARD. THAT IS MY DREAM. But maybe in a few months.  Just wanted to share that one.  Gusgus,  (I flicked it's turd on Sister Read moments after this was taken) What else happened. Oh, one day we were walking, and we see these men, and like okay let's go introduce ourselves, and we started to walk up, and one of them said we ...

Hey fam, Happy p-day ! This week was pretty crazy, If only they knew how blessed their lives could be :/ Let's start with the fact it's been like 110 degrees this past week, and our AIR CONDITIONING BROKE!(was broke for THREE days) Poor Sister Read, I was very irritable during the time.  But! A man named Nephi from our ward came and fixed it like 30 minutes ago. If that isn't a sign the Church is true, idk what is. We also had Zone Conference ! And we all got flu shots :-) Sister Read held my hand, and the lady who did it was like "in my three years, nobody has acted like this " lol sorry But President Dixon came up to Sister Read and I and asked how the Rialto 1st Ward was doing, and then told us that this companionship was such a last minute thing, we are inspired 😌 Also it rained, like POURED, and everyone freaked out, it was so nice.  Oh, so Also Sister Read and I are going to be the first California Redlands biking sisters, so ...
