The dreaded Transfer calls are in..

AND IM STILL IN DUBLIN! wahoo! so lets start there. Saturday nights are when we get transfer calls and all day I was dreading that I would get called. there were a lot of signs pointing toward me heading out. so 9:00 came and I sat and waited by the phone. then it was 9:30. still no call. 9:45 still safe. I figured by 10 all the calls should have been made. 9:55. still no call. 9:58. the phone rings. Literally my heart stopped. Sister Ellis got up to look at the phone and turned around and said "its brother lechaminant!" (thats my ward mission leader) Man I answered that phone and wanted to shoot him. So we talked and then after I hung up we got a text from the zone leaders saying that transfer calls were in and that only Sister Wheeler was heading out. SAFE! oh man I am so excited to be staying here! We have our investigators wedding this weekend and then his baptism on the 9th and then Selmas baptism dec 7. YES! Plus sister ellis and I both have b-days within about 5 days of each other so we have big birthday plans! 
So that was transfers not for bullet points!
-Sister goodman was sick so I went on exchanges with Sister Wheeler. That was fun! 
-Sister Goodman took the ACT on saturday and to help her prepare we went to the church for personal study so she could "practice the tests at a desk" It was great because we turned on the heat. mmm nice and warm!  (though our landlady is turning the heat on for us but its still freezing in the morning!)
-Sister Mitobe our less acitve told us that she had been thinking about our previous lesson in which we talked about putting church priorities first then everything else would fall in place(the rocks and the rice in a jar object lesson) Then she still didn't come to church. oh well next week!
-We went to dinner with president and his wife and their daughter. we went to some place called Buca de pepos? anywho we ate in the "pope room" oh it was hilarious! all these missionaries in a room decorated for the catholic pope. never a dull moment with president! 
-while sis goodman was taking the act, sis ellis, bliss and I went and broke into the mission office. okay the AP's gave us the key. haha but I did set off the alarm to the institute building. haha oh man. 
-The stake had a halloween carnvial. the member we brought with us pretended to be our investigator. It was hilarious! 
-We went to the outgoing fireside last night and this adorable 10 year old convert got up and bore his testimony. it was soo cute! 
Today I was having a bad day and when we were at the store we ran into a lady from one of the pleasanton wards. She bought all of our groceries. It totally changed my day around. To all of you, feed the missionaries, love them and support them, it can make a world of difference to them! 

Well it was a great week, I hope all of you have a great week and I will talk to you all next week!
Thanks!
