The time has come...

So good news and bad news of the week! lets start with the bad news. I asked Sister Mella, president mella's wife if we could listen to les mis music. still no. dang it. 6 more months, I can do this right! also other bad news, im getting transfered. So now for the good news! there is none. oh other bad news. there is no recording this week. I have been to busy with transfers. so yep it was that kind of week. hahaha So now I will just tell you about my week! 
Monday- We went to big sur, it had purple sand. it was awesome! also for the ysa fhe they played minute to win it games. yes I did stack 3 golf balls on top of each other. yes! 
Tuesday- we went up to san jose to meet president mella! wow that this week. dang its been a long week. haha So president mella is awesome!! I think I am really going to like him. i really dont want to get transfered but maybe i will go up to san jose where I am close  to the mission office so i can get to know them better! he should be a lot of fun! the rest of tuesday... ummm oh I saw young oak and thomas and jason for the last time. I really hate transfers. also went to volleyball for the last time. Man I am going to miss that. 
Wednesday- i really dont remember wednesday.... i think a lot of appointments cancelled... haha 
Thursday!- it was awesome! we had a stacked day full of lessons! and I got to see Mary and that was great and she got me a DLI sweatshirt in arabic.. yes I am weird... no I dont care... haha
friday-the 4th of july!!! great day. full of service. haha we helped at the monterey parade. it was great except for the part where I wasnt actually able to see the parade because we got the random spot that is out in the boonies. hahaha oh well it was still fun! and then we went to Nana Vegas. she is in the 1st ward, so the elders ward. we did service for her and had lunch. it was so fun! and then we went to dinner and then we went to an appointment... oh and by this point I knew i was getting transfered because sis smith got a training call on thursday night so that sucked.. haha and then we went to the beach!! our mission president rocks. he gave us all permission that we could be out till 10 and back in our appartments by 1030 if we had mbrs or investigators that invited us to watch fireworks etc. SWEET! except that monterey doesnt do fireworks. so May and Seth and May's family (who are pretty much my second family) invited us to a bonfire and we all had smores and played football on the beach with a light up bouncey ball. we got creative! It was great fun! and then at 2 in the morning I woke up and some people were doing illegal fire works at the park by our house so that fun. haha 
saturday- also a good day..
sunday... also a good day... sorry i am running out of time! 
But over all it was a great last week in monterey, and I am really going to miss this place. like a lot. a lot. but hey change is good right? I think. maybe not. haha
love you all!
Have a great week!
