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!

And Thus Ends the Reign of President Watkins...
And Thus Began the Reign of President Mella!
So we have a new mission president. I know nothing. We meet him tomorrow though! so that should be good! Maybe I can beg him to let me stay in Monterey. we will see :)
So on to this week!
Monday- Pday- we went to the beach. shocking. haha but i went and found this beach in pebble beach. it was really nice! I know all the secret places now. you should all be jealous. haha FHE was great fun, i got to go in the attic in the church. that was cool. haha
Tuesday- The demise of the week. haha no, we had this awesome district meeting and I got all pumped up to go be an amazing missionary and be bold and etc and then the rest of the week went very badly. haha Ill get to that in a minute though. So the rest of tuesday was good, we had volleyball with the ysa at carmel beach so that was a blast! also the elders gave us this musical by micheal mclean called the garden. We might have listened to if for like 3 day straight. and pretty much just 2 songs. hahaha I miss musicals!!! also its quite good!
Wednesday- So this is our day that is usually pack ful of lessons. until this week. everything cancelled. even our dinner. and our dinner for thursday. This is where the lord decided to test my patience. Would I still be pumped up for missionary work even if all my appointments cancelled? Well after I downed a box of goobers in about 30 seconds I pulled myselft together and got back to work. :) But we did get to go to a ysa activity called "babes in the bible" pretty much the study a lady in the bible. this time was Eve. it was really good!
Thursday- it was better. we still had some things fall through but we were able to have some street contact lessons which are always fun!
Friday-Oh we saw Chelsey again! she was so fun! yeah friday was good.
Saturday- also good! we got to help a lady named michelle decorate her house. I love service. haha
we also met this girl while contacting and all of a sudden this guy comes up and starts bashing religion and telling us how we should live and the girl starts defending us. it was sweet. hahaha
Then sunday came. and ya know what? Patience and faith pays off. we had clearly not had the most successful week so on sunday we needed to have a quite a few lessons to hit our goals. now when you are in church frorm 10 to 5 that can be hard. but God answers prays people! we had all of the lessons we needed by 630. it was great. haha and we met this amazing man on the street that was so humble and he loved god and when we talked about the book of mormon he started to cry and it was awesome the only downside is that he doesnt live in my area. DANG IT! haha oh well the elders over there are good too. haha
WEll that was my week! transfer calls are on saturday so i shall now my fate on monday. pray i stay in monterey! or go where the lord needs me. :)
love you all!
