I HAVE BEEN OUT FOR A YEAR!
I cannot believe it has gone so fast. Also I'm 20 years old & I still look like I'm 14! We ate so much cake & cupcakes and I even got a cake smashed in my face. the members are so kind they just give us random stuff for my birthday. For p-day we hiked to a waterfall and it was beautiful!!
I'M TRAINING AGAIN!! I'm staying in Palmdale another transfer at least and I'm training another greenie! Her name is Hermana Cummings from Washington DC and she is SO fun!
IT SNOWED YES IT SNOWED IN PALMDALE CALIFORNIA... FOUR TIMES!! It hasn't snowed here for 15 years! We were in part member families house for a pass off lesson when the investigator, Juan Carlos, randomly decided he needed to get up and look outside. He announced it was snowing and we all ran outside and played in the snow with their family. Then they gave us chamomile tea and cheese rolls. Literally best day ever!!
Yesterday at church a less active member came to church for the first time in years. He approached us and told us his girlfriend has wanted to take the missionary lessons and be baptized for a long time but that he has been holding her back. He said he wants to change his life and come back to church. He is getting work off on Sundays to come. He asked us to come teach his girlfriend that very day. Of course we went and she is SO PREPARED. Her name is Miriam and she has already read 20 chapters of the book of Mormon. She will be baptized on March 9th!!
We did service for a small Baptist church who gives free food/meals to the homeless every Friday. That was an interesting experience! Their pastor's name is Coco and she is the most excited person I have ever met. They have a drum set in the room they hold services in and their baptismal font is HUGE.

We had a mission wide Spanish conference for the Spanish missionaries Friday. That was way cool. And the meeting was moved from Tehachapi to Bakersfield DUE TO SNOW & ICE. Are we even in California anymore? We also had transfers up in Bakersfield on Tuesday, so we drove 2 hours to Bakes twice in a week.
Also so many big changes! Now I'm wearing pants while face-timing my family on p-day!
