Old, I'm Old :(

Well first things first, I had a v good birthday, and thank you everyone who sent me something of emailed me, lil cuties.
I'm 20, I'm old :(
I mean like not old, but ..... It was good.
ANYWHO,
I went on exchanges again with Hermana Bradshaw, but I went to Spanish land. I am grateful for the spanish I have been able to pick up on my mission because I could do some communicating , also shout out to the gift of tongues. We had a really fun lesson with a cute family, picture should be included
also this week we had zone conference!! We were suppose to have Elder Cook (Carl B.) come but since he became an area 70 he canceled on us. BUT!
Zone Conference was so so good!! We learned a lot about asking good questions, and how to be more effective missionaries. 
Zone Conference for us was on Thursday, but the Smiley Park Sisters (Sister Nez and Whitehead) during lunch came in, and announced it was my birthday the next day and 3 zones sang happy birthday to me, and they gave me cake and a tiara, and i love my birthday lol.
It was so sweet.
We also did service for Sister Davis, aka Sister Thompson dug up ground and I got to pick lemons, that was fun!
THEN on Friday was the actual bday
we stopped by the mission office because they asked if we could help them set up for the next zone conference, AND I SAW SISTER GANUS AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH WHAT THE H*CK, 
and Mariela and her husband went to Moreno Valley to get us the best chicken wings and pizza I had ever had for my birthday, cuties. 
We also had pizza with the Durr family, aka one of my favorite families to EXIST. As soon as Sister Thompson told them it was my birthday, Brother and Sister Durr stood up to try and find candles. They used a smelly candle to sing to me. I LOVE THEM. They also made me wear this one hat because that was the birthday hat. Love them.
Saturday was good, we had stake conference and finally Elder Cook was there and we got to meet him.
Walter (who I talked about last week) came and met President and Sister Dixon and Elder Cook and his wife. 
THEN ! On Sunday , also at stake conference, they opened up the temple grounds , and we had a lesson with Walter right after on the temple grounds. We had him pick a date to be baptized, he's getting baptized on May 26!
pumped.
it was a great week.
love life.
I'm old. 
also we got on mormon.org to ask a question, and they asked us if there was anyone the could contact via email or facebook, so sorry to those I gave their information, hehe , love love love you

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/ ...
