Thanksgiving and # LightTheWorld

Carrying the whole picture with the "The"
Heeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllooooooooo,
This week was crazy, so much happened, which made the week zoom.
We got super cool new investigators... Tongan investigators! Everyone keeps saying they didn't even know if Tongan investigators existed, so I am pumped.
Lets started with O! O. was a referral from someone who may or may not be a member? Anyway, we went to O's pretending we were tracting, and we met him and his daughter F., lil cutie. O. told us how he really wanted to read the Book of Mormon and never had gotten one. And how every Sunday he listens to a broadcast in Tongan from the church and he loves everything they share. 
On Saturday, we dropped a note off to him, and he called us saying he wanted us to meet his wife! What the! We have a lesson with his fam tomorrow and I am PUMPED.

idk if I talked about A. last week, but we started teaching him and his brother D. this week, and they are super awesome, and we met their mom, M., and just so much potential there it is CRAZY.
We also did some service on Wednesday at a park, they were doing a thanksgiving for the homeless, so cute, we just went to help set up.
Then Thanksgiving, we had 4 meals, and I really wanted to die, but I am Tongan so I powered through it. I am accidentally getting chubbier in this area, but yolo amirite?
On Saturday, the stake did some Christmas nativity thing that they planned a week ago, and nobody came and our ward was mad because they didn't know about it. A whole bunch of us just sang Christmas carols. I sang with a lot of pride :/
This week was really awesome, and there were lots of miracles and blessins'
But I am too lazy to type anymore, so enjoy the pictures!

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 ! 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/ ...
