"We're going to Home Depot, wanna come?"

Holding the cutest baby (don't tell my mission president :/ )
Hellllllo.
Wow pday again, or should I say "play day"? 
jk I'm sicky today so we have been chillin.
Okay
what even happened this week?
I am still eating a lot of Tongan food, and I am full 25/8
We did exchanges this week, and I got to spend a day with Hermana B, she is super precious
We have been reading the Book of Mormon with a lot of families, so that is v fun.
On Saturday our zone did service for a Cancer Walk thing, and it was super fun. We got free shirts (peep the pics)
I got "in trouble" for being "too casual" with the elders,
I rolled my eyes straight out of my head, because I am usually just chilling,
but its okay, Im still proud of me.
UHM THE SMITHS HAVE GONE HOME AND I AM SO SAD BECAUSE I LOVE THEM. 
This week might have not been as eventful as I was hoping
But the church is still true. 
Also my step dad had a birthday this last week, hope you all told him Happy Birthday
OHOH
Let me explain the title of this email because I am still loling
SO
I talk to everyone right? But I am in California, and we pass by like 44627 people a day driving, so I decided I am going to try and tell people about the gospel when we are at red lights (because the lights here are red for like 5 minutes)
So on Friday night, its like 8:40 pm and were heading home and we are at a red light, and a car of guys pulls up, and they're just smiling at us, so I'm like "HEY I'M SISTER WINGATE, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" They tell us their names, and they ask what we are doing, and we say going home. They tell us they are working and they are plumbers, and I tell them we are missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. And this guy in the back says "we're going to Home Depot, wanna come?" and I asked "can we teach you about the Gospel?" The guy in the front seat says "about the gospel?" I said "yeah, the Gospel of Jesus Christ" the guy in the back said "girl don't even start."
And I have been weak ever since. I will teach someone the gospel at a red light one day. Keep praying.
okay idk
have a great week, love you all

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.

You're almost done aren't you ? How long do you have left ?" Me : *hangs up * Sunday : Elder Famui : "Sister Wingate ! You only have a transfer left !" Me : *hangs up* It's fine. 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/ ...
