Hi there!

Well this is the part where i am going to send a horrible weekly email. As in i have no time left. haha

So this week was great! Very busy, though we did have a few nights fall through. but over all it was good! 

I hope you all have a great thanksgiving! I have 4 or more houses i get to go to on thanksgiving so i might be dead before the night is over but oh well! 

Basically i just wanted to tell yuo all that i am grateful that i get to serve a msision and that I am so thankful for all of our support! 

HAve a great week!

Hmmmmm

Yeah I just dont have a title for this week! Sorry! haha so first for those who get my recording, i ended by talking about a car accident with some missionaries and i realized i never included the part that they were all okay. hahaha it was just a fender bender. 

Well on to the week!

Monday- PDAY! we chilled by a pool and had a bbq. it was fun! 

Tuesday- transfer mtg! Its a lot more fun to go to when you arent getting transfered... haha

then we went and saw diana, she is so sweet! she has been reading the book of mormon! its awesome! I mean she can barely understand it but she is trying! we also watched the restoration movie with the ramos! they are the best. and darlene said she really thought it could be true. i love this gospel. 

Wednesday- it was full of excitment. a previous investagor came back in town. that was fun. or not. haha oh but we saw luella and we told her that we would come clean her house and thursday and she was so excited! -see thursday for how that turned out. haha

thursday ;) - so we went to luellas, she forgot who we were. haha so we cleaned and then once again tried to explain that we were the missionaries but she still wasnt getting it. but then i was like can we share a scripture? and she was like yes! I have the missionaries come over every wednesday and read with me! they are great. i cant remember their names but i remember their faces! (she said this while staring right at me. luella i have bee seeing you multiple times a week for 4.5 months. you dont remember faces either.) hahah we were all laughing. she is so cute!!! we also saw janet! and had a great lesson with her!!!

Friday-So Diane, and briana and the vindiolas! some of my favorite people! 

Saturday. where to begin? lets start with Dublin. I GOT TO GO TO DUBLIN! yay!!! there was a baptism in the chinese branch and my comp served there! I got to see a few people i knew so that was fun! and i saw my old land lady marj and she had us come by the house to get some apples. home sweet home! the frigde is still outside if any of you were wondering. also there is an apple tree in the back yard. i lived there for 7.5 months and had no idea about that. haha

okay so after the baptism we all went to oakland!!! Elder Bednar was in town and so he had all the missionaries from the san jose  and oakland missions come and we got to have a q and a with him! it was amazing! he talked a lot about being an agent and not just and object. it was so good. and he is hilarious! 

well that was pretty much my week. sunday was good, lots of church! I hope you all have a great week! for those of you in the freezing temps, sorry. i went on a hike this morning! :) but dont worry i will be in the snow soon enough...:/

love you all!!!

On to another Transfer!

Well Folks it is now the beginning of a new transfer. and well Im staying here! So I shall die in South San jose. and when I say Die I mean finish my mission. haha But my comp is also dying with me so that means my area is either being closed to sisters or 2 new sisters will whitewash. we informed one of our ward mission leaders of this fact yesterday and he about had a panic attack at the thought of only having elders in the ward. sorry elders. haha but there are 5 missionaries going home with me in our zone so we are planning a mass murder for the end of the transfer. actually we jsut really want to do a murder mystery party. haha

okay so on to the week!

Monday- we played soccer and did service.

Tuesday- We saw Rose! She had been sick again and she was like, where have you been? Sorry you were sick! we also got to see Brianna! and she set a baptismal date for december 6th! I am so excited! and so is she! she is adorable. and we also so the ramos' the are so funny and can talk for days... but thats okay :)

Wednesday- i was with another sister and when i got back with my comp the other sister took our phone. so we had no phone all night. it was pretty interesting. so hey mbr at the church that i ahve never met.. can we borrow your phone? haha

Thursday- We had district mtg and then went out to lunch. I might have accidently watched a trailer for the new hunger games. you see i was talking to the elders and one of them says oh hey mockingjay. so out of reflex i turned to see it. so it was an accident. now the next 4 times i watched it as it came on were not accidents so ill have to repent for those ones ;) BUT IT LOOK SO GOOD!!!

The rest of thursday was great, we got our recent converts sister who doesnt really like god to come with us to the outgoing fireside last night so that was awesome! we also saw janet, apparently her friend thinks we are satanic. YES! haha but Janet defended us and we had a good chat.

Friday- we did some service and saw brianna again

Saturday- we did a fun service with the zone and then saw diane! her cousin came in the house while we were there and started asking about missionaries being in sacramento and then she said she wanted to come to church with diane on sunday and so she came! it was great! and she loved it! you are welcome sacrament missionaries. :)

Sunday was good, we went to lots of church and then off to the outgoing. all the spanish sisters we came out with are ogin home this week. as of wednesday i will officially be the the oldest sisters in the mission. ........

moving on it should be a good week! also news of the week!! JK rowling has more books out! she has a mystery series under the name rober galbraith. Who knew? 

well this church true!

love,

Annlie

Fwd: A few pictures!

GUESS WHAT???

ITS NOVEMBER!!! and do you know what that means? It means that it was daylight savings time yesterday and so I got to sleep for an extra hour. BEST DAY EVER! haha also i cant believe its november. 

So this week!

Mon- We played soccer. i havent been that sore in a long time. 

Tuesday-we had a lot of good lessons, we saw diana again and helped her more with english. i think we did money. i can do that part. haha it was cute, she needs to practice speaking so we gave her a challenge to go talk to the bishop on sunday and tell him about the money. so on sunday she walked up and asked when we were going to the bishops office. haha it was fun.

we also saw brianna and asked her to pray about a baptismal date! we met with her again on thrusday and asked her if she had prayed and tlaked to her mom to which she responded that she had prayed but she forgot hte mom part. haha so hopefully this week we will ahve a for sure date. haha we also saw the ramos family and kim! they are all so fun!

Wed- i was on exchanges and the sister i live with was sick. so did some cleaning. 

Thursday- We had a missionary meeting, and some delicious cupcakes. then we had a day full of appointments! we were running like crazy! we got to see janet and her kids that night, they are so cute! and we helped janet understand more about the restoration which was good. 

friday- HAppy halloween! so we had to be in by 7. so we went to service and helped the old people and then trick or treated by a few people and then had dinner and called it a night! after which we watched the restoration and went to bed. it was great. haha

sat- we helped the stake with a serveice project and then saw some more people. thats pretty much how sunday went as well. except a lot of church on sunday. haha though at church on sunday the gospel principles teacher wasnt htere so we taught and diane said something to her husband in her language and then he told us that she was talkign about baptism and how is a contract with god and we need to keep our end and how you can go to church and such but with out baptism its like an unsigned check. SHE HASNT EVEN BEEN BAPTIZED and she knows all this. man i wish i could speak her language. its an african language by the way. something like kinarwanda. 

any who it was a great week, i hope  you all enjoyed the extra hour of sleep and i will talk to you next week!

this church is true!

love
