bounce house + sickness + elders:////

first things first
President Dixon has us make signs for Sister Dixon's birthday today and send them to her. I love Sister Dixon
there is a rm Hermana Figueroa running around Redlands California
and she was in the same church building as me yesterday and I DIDNT SEE HER AND MY LIFE IS NOW WRECKED
I LOVE HER :(
other than that, it has been a good week!
we moved Walters baptism (again) its now going to be the 9th, but this time for good reason (i mean getting approval from first presidency is pretty good too buttttt) 
he wanted his mom and gf to come but they couldnt this saturday.
but the 9th is the day!:)
Chris is still super excited about his baptism. Mariela and him took us to cold stone to have a lesson over ice cream, LITERALLY LOVE THEM AND LOVE ICE CREAM.
Sister Vance was sick this week so I spent a lot of time inside, reading scriptures and what not (i didnt take a nap because I wanted to be effective.... i regret no nap taking )
Mariela threw a last minute party for her daughters for their birthdays (there was a bounce house!!!!!!!!!!!! that sister esparza and I bounced in lolool)
Mariela felt bad because we had to ask the elders for permission to go, SO SHE INVITED THEM
and so background on our elders, Elder Nelson is always trying to one up me with everyone we work with right?
so they go to the party after we leave, they call us and say "hey sisters, so we just left Marielas party"
DONE WITH ELDER NELSON
sorry, sorry. its cool. we cool. 
we started reading scriptures as an apartment so thats cool.
oH OH OH
so I made one of the elders give me a blessing (the priesthood is cool but I am so awkward with elders now)
and they came and knocked on our door, I answered and it was awkward for like 30 seconds and then one of the elders said "can we come in?"
I blame Sister Read for my interactions with elders being so awful.
idk what else has happened
I got to spend a day with Sister Esparza because both of our companions were dead.
We had a lesson with a guy named Jordan (who is lowkey trying to prove us wrong)
but this week we had a really really good lesson with him and his girlfriend Noelle,
and you can tell somethings clicked for him
Jordan and Noelle are probs some of my fave people out here, they are so so funny. and we are all facebook friends lol
okay here are the pics
We found a pup in a trailer park and as soon as I picked it up, he stiffbodied me.

the elders booed us? :/// elders.....

Mariela and Chris and Cold Stone

Bounce House + Sister Esparza + Miabella = a blast

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/ ...
