I GOT TRANSFERRED TO YUMA!

Yes I did get transferred, when I found out Hermana Andelin and I
looked at each other and bawled for a solid hour.  I was so incredibly
sad.  We have so many people on date there and so many that are so
close, sometimes I feel like Us as a companionship were the only one
that can get through to people which is totally false I have come to
realize.  But I couldn't be happier because I am in the promised land
of Yuma, the world capital of lettuce farms.  For those of you that

don't know, Yuma is the place to be in the Tempe Az mission.
Literally every missionary begs to come to Yuma.  It's three hours
away from any other zona and covers half the mission.  They haven't
had sister down here in over a year and I am one of the lucky few to
open it back up!

My new companion is Hermana Gubler!  She is awesome she is from
central California and played rugby at byu so she is pretty much a
boss.  She is going to help me loose all the extra beans and rice I
have carrying around my thighs. 👌🏾

Yuma is a lot different than Phoenix, first off I'm not scared to
leave my car unlocked while I go get the mail. Second, I have yet to
see a homeless person. Third I went from serving in the largest
Spanish ward in the mission to one of the smallest branches. I'm
telling you though, this place has so much potential it's crazy.  We
activated 3 less actives in the short we have been here and they
shared their testimonies of the Book of Mormon, one went and talked to
the branch president about a temple recommend, and the other offered
to feed us burritos whenever we want. YES,!  We put a man named Rafael
on date last night, and all the people we have talked to said they are
willing to meet with us and get baptized if they receive an answer.
THIS IS THE PROMISED LAND

Awkward

Every Mexican has a mop on their porch.  Siempre.

One of the elders called me honey buns the other day... 😷

Last night we were talking with this old guy who used to be a luchador
like Nacho Libre!  Then he proceeded by showing us his muscles and
lifting stuff to show how strong he was.  He literally was 85 years
old.  I was laughing so hard.
