Ok, so this week.... a lot. I'm going to try and type as fast as I
can.

First, we're having a fight with the Elders... who's better? Harry
Potter or Spiderman?

Then, Larrea... we were teaching him but he thought he was teaching us.
He never told us anything I didn't know already... but anyways. We had
to be really bold with him and surprisingly... even though I wanted to
Bash I didn't. I didn't give him any proof, anywhere. I told him when
he was ready to know he would know what we meant. It was REALLY
draining!!!! So there's physically draining, but this was spiritually
draining. I don't know exactly how to explain it. But it took a lot of
energy. We were proud of ourselves.

Then Zone Conference. We had outdoor Zone Conference and it was really
fun. We played Kickball, Ultimate Frisbee, relays, tugawar, and
3-legged race. Sister Jensen and I won the 3-legged race, or we caught up
for our team.... and won. I scored 2 points for Ultimate Frisbee...
it's hard cause there's NO CONTACT between Elders and Sisters, so you have
to be careful. And when you're running, it can be hard. The relay
race.... we had to spin around 10 times with our head on a bat on the
ground.... talk about dizzy.... I think I felt drunk.... I wouldn't know.
But the ground came up to meet me and I fell..... yeah, fun.

Sister Jensen and I sang the EFY medley. That was neat. We had the
musical number this time. Let's see.... what else.... Oh you'll be
getting pictures of the shirts we made.... cool stuff. We were the Anti-
Knee-High Levi's against Denham Springs.... And Sister Jensen and I
were the Weird Sisters.... good times!

On Friday night we went to the Ward Halloween party- that was fun.
They had a hayride that went through the cemetary. Sister Jensen and I
went on that.... It was cool.

Then Sister Jensen and I wanted ice cream one night and there's this
place called Rainbows... they had ice cream and it said they had a
drive-thru.... So we went and we pulled up to the window and the guy was
like, "Wait yall are Sisters with the Church, and you're getting
daquiri's?" We didn't realize it was a daquiri place that happened to sell ice
cream.... Yeah, that was funny. So we got our ice cream. And yep,
they have drive-thru daquiri's- messed up, huh?

I'm trying to remember all the things we did, but my memory is failing
me.....

Oh, what's a commandment that you've been blessed for keeping? (ie.
tithing, fasting, chastity, Word of Wisdom, Pray often, Study the
Scriptures, Follow the Prophet..... PMG Ch.4 )

Hmmmm.... I don't know that there's too much else to say.... Next week
is transfers again. We'll see soon... I've been here for 4 1/2 months
now.... Well, gotta go... Oh and when you e-mail Scotti tell him to
have fun in Utah! He's going up there this week and going to hang out
with everyone. He says he's going to make everyone write. Pete's
pretty good, and in the process of writing a letter, but he's going to see
LB, Ash, and Natalie. I have their address now.... Mark sent it to me.
Hopefully Ash is engaged....

Oh! Almost forgot.... Sister Henderson is getting married Nov.
25th..... in the Oakland Temple. I don't know if you'll make it up there...
but in the off-chance... The reception is from 4-7 at the Church:
4351 Hilltop Drive
El Sobrante, CA 94803

I think that's about it!

Love yall!!!!!
