I Hit My 4 Month Mark!

So I hit my 4 month mark last Friday! That is so weird, huh? 14 more months to go... haha! I can't believe its already June! Crazy! I don't have much time to write today because my letter to President Greer was kind of lengthy. I will touch on the exciting parts of the week though. We had sister exchanges on Thurs I went to Lacamas Creek and Harmony (wards) to work with Sister Horvorka. Sister Neal came here to Mountain View and Clark (wards) to be with Sister Faamau. Sister Neal was also trained by Sister Chatwin so that makes her my sister (because we have the same mom) and so because Sister Neal is training Sister Horvorka right now, she (Horvorka) is my niece! haha Hopefully that makes sense! Anyway, working with Sister Horvorka was so much fun! She has only been out one transfer less than me so we are pretty much in the same boat when it comes to knowledge on missionary work and such. We stayed up till 12:20 that night just talking and getting to know each other. That is the latest I have stayed up during my entire mission so far! Talk about exhausting for the next day! We taught great lessons and walked so much I got blisters again, lol! It was so much fun! We also had stake conference this weekend. I met and shook hands with Elder Hanson who is an area seventy and also...drum roll please...Bishop Gerald Causse the new 1st counselor in the presiding bishopric! That was cool! I love being a missionary and seeing all of these GAs! Elder Hanson talked about missionary work and Bishop Causse talked about families and children. It was so amazing! We have big plans this week for finding new people to teach and also getting the people we are teaching closer to the covenant of baptism. I will send some pics next week (hopefully) of Sister Horvorka and Sister Neal and us! We also have exchanges with the Spanish speaking sisters on Saturday so I will let you know how that goes! Also, we are going to start teaching some Samoan families in the area that we found that understand Samoan better than English. I won't know what is going on but Sister Faamau is excited and a little nervous too! The Spirit will be working extra hard to help her out since I won't know what to say. She has taught me a few things like "Epikopo" which means "Bishop" and "Ou te alofa ia te oe" which means "I love you"! So cool! haha, I will be bilingual after all...kinda! Please keep looking for people in your area that are ready for the missionaries and the gospel in their lives! You might be surprised if you pray for it... :)
I gotta go now, I love you! I miss you! The Gospel is true!
