Rojan!!!

Hey!!!

So, this week has been a crazy week!! :D I had transfers, I had the flu, and now I have a new calling. I am a capacitator for the sisters. That is interesting right? I am so happy that I am feeling better. That is all I want for Christmas is to have health so that I don't have to be in the house. Because when you are in the house it is the worst thing as a missionary. Jaja! I am now in Pajaritos it is the city and our sector is huge like usual, and my companion is pretty sweet, super cool and super funny, Hermana Goncalves (Hermana Gonsalves is the pronunciacion). She is from Brazil. Sweeetttt another Brazilian!!! :DD I love it!! Yah!! She is super special and great I am not going to lie!! But yeah so that happened! :D

The week was amazing as usual!! We were able to teach some great people and have them come to church on Sunday! Christina and Barbara!! Wooo hooo!! They will be baptized this transfer!! It was really hard for me to leave El Monte because the people there are so amazing and so strong in the gospel, on top of it all two of my converts are there. La Catalina and el Eloy. But it will be okay! I am happy that we are able to progress and they need to be without me to be able to progress now, and me without them.

So, let me tell you why my email is with this title. Last week we had almuerzo with a family super cool, but like soooo cool. I am telling you there are so cool! They are nerds! I love it when I find nerds because I am like nerds unite! Woohoo! They put on a CD from Lord of the Rings the sound track and the music was from the movie, and we were with the other hermanas from our ward and Hermana McNevin loves Lord of the Rings too, we are like best friends she and I (maybe it is because she reminds me of my sister, Alex) but we were like ROJAN!! and then the song dadadadadadadadaaaa bububububmmm dadadadadadadadaaaa bububububbmm. you have to sing the letters to the song. understand?... O.o is what you are probably thinking. jaja. I am just kidding. But yeah!! That is what happened. And then Hermana McNevin says to me later that day. You know we are like Frodo. We are here in the mission and when we think of home it is like the Shire. :DD ahaha!! jaja! I love that so much!

Then we had the fiesta for the Navidad. And everyone was like Hermana Durfee you are skinnier. And I was like what? I still eat the same and then I thought about it later, and the thing is, is that I was sick the other week! For that, well at least having the flu is good for something, no I am just kidding!! ;D Aha! But yeah! This was my week!! I love you guys so much!!

Look for the talk from Elder Christofferson this conference passed about faith! It is amazing!

Flu and Transfers.

Okay first things first family, The time here is 2:09 my parents were asking for the time.yes Dad I have my information for Christmas!! lol. t i just love it when our investigators buy us sushi and then after we eat it we feel terrible... That is just amazing, right? So that is what happened to me. On Saturday, Claudia my investigator that I just love so much wants to share her sushi with us and so yeah we eat it, and of course it did not do anything to Hermana Espinoza because she has la sangre de una latina, but poor me, I feel so sick after, like I am trying to work and be myself but it was just one of those days. and like I am just trying to work, but then yeah later that night when I am trying to sleep I have to throw up instead, and I am saying to myself, well that is just perfect that I am here using this precious time to sleep to throw up instead, okay... and then all night it was me in the bathroom... and all day on Sunday me in my bed sleeping trying to fight the flipping bug out of my system so that I can preach and share the gospel. I really missed my mom, she really spoiled us when we were little.. lol :D

So, yeah, and then last night I received that I have transfers. And let me tell you (yes, Jeffrey) I knew that, that was coming, but I was trying to convince myself no that I was staying for another month and a half... but yeah well that is how the mission is, it almost is too hard, but then I remember baptism and the feelings that come to someone when they help someone come to Christ. I love this gospel! Thanks so much for all your support family. I just want you to know that I really do miss Missouri and my family, and the snow, but I know that this is the only time I got to be His representative, and on top of it all He has blessed me to learn Spanish. I love you!
