City Creeeeeeeeek

Hellllllo!
Its Pday! obvi
it was a crazy week lets be real. Since I thought I was staying another transfer I didn't pack anything, so the chaos (learned how to spell it) was real. I think I left a million things in that apartment. But saying bye was so hard, I love the Tongans with my whole heart. I am going to wear my Tongan named tag the rest of my mission though. 
Being here with a lot of white people is weird, and 100% english? I AM CONFUSED, hearing Tongan, and speaking mixed tongan and english for 4 and a half months really grows on you. idk how to talk to people anymore.
ALSO!
I am training Sister Thompson! She is so so cute, love her. she is just ready at all times , she reminds me a lot of me when I first came out (hint hint @ Sister Christiansen and Sister Simpkins)
She is not afraid to talk, which is what I love.
Sister Thompson is from Twin Falls Idaho, and she loves cooking, I am #blessed
So I am in the City Creek ward, and it is a nice nice area .. I mean, we have some of San B but its okay. We have East Highland which is nICE NICE NICE. Biggest homes I have seen on my mission. We also have REDLANDS! THE TEMPLE IS IN MY ZONE IM PUMPED. 
We have been making lots of relationships with the members, and recieving a millin referrals, which has been really good. 
We will never not be busy, so stoked. 
Sister Thompson is doing good. She is really tired always, and I feel bad because I am like 100mph and I forget that she is new and learning, Ill repent eventually.
we did service in Redlands, where we got to dress up as pioneers and help people make lil dolls. I have never felt so Mormon in my entire LIFE. It was great! This transfer is going to be really good!
Also I got to hold a kitten, finally!
We had dinner last night at a families house, and there was a 15 year old boy who was not v happy we were over, but then I clowned with him, and we became homies, and right before we left, HE WENT AND GRABBED A KITTEN THEY FOUND I'M WRECKED I LOVE KITTENS
I told them we were going to go over everyday

here are some pics (i had captions to them but somehow my tablet goofed, now im stressed so just enjoy)

Last transfer-6 more weeks to home!!!! 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/ ...
