Hermana Cordova's Las Vegas Mission Adventures!!: Hello From Lake Havasu City Arizona!!!!!

My last day in El Rancho was beyond boss!!! We took the obispo's wife out with us! The appointment fell through, and no one answered the door. After trying 4 people, she offered to take us to her house and give us fresh baked banana bread. When we walked in the whole house smelled like baked goods. We ate a bunch of banana bread, and drank milk. Then she made her dog do tricks for small pieces of banana bread. "Baila Rocky, baila". Dinner and a show.

I packed all my stuff on saturday night, so my companion and I wrote in our goodbye journals, and cleaned the house a bit on Monday night. I ended up writing her 17 pages of inside jokes.... I already miss Hermana Davis, she and I had some super awesome moments in North Las Vegas.

Side note: I didn't cry when I left, which is super weird, especially because I loved El Rancho so much!! #mature #notacrybabyanymore

Then on Tuesday I drove from North Las Vegas to Henderson, and then from Henderson to Lake Havasu City Arizona. My mission has made me enjoy driving. I got to see my mission baby, Hermana Allen, who is now training my mission granddaughter!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoo!!!

"Lake Havasu is like a bowl of spaghetti". I have become a master map reader in the past week!!! I have my ghetto gps, which is me looking at the map, and writing directions on a sticky note. hahaha. "I'm so classy, you already know...." I had to learn fast, because I was getting home with awful stress headaches, from getting lost all the time.

We had appointments that filled up most of our days. So we finally went grocery shopping on Thursday. We were living on cookies that members gave us, and the few water bottles the other sisters left a few transfers ago. Speaking of food, I kind of miss hispanic food. Actually, I miss it a lot.

There were Kim Kardasian workout DVD's at the 99 cent store, I was so tempted to get one, but I decided not to....

We had district council in Parker on Saturday. Then we met Ronald McDonald and the weird purple thing at district lunch!!!

I miss Spanish so much, but I really love the people here. The ward was so welcoming, and they are very missionary minded!!! We also found out that it is literally 20 degress hotter here than Las Vegas in the summer. #voyamorir

One of the brothers in the ward served in the Champions ward in 1995!!! It was so cool when we figured that out! A bunch of people in the ward speak spanish, and agreed to let me practice with them. I am hispanic hunting, we can teach anyone out here so I'm praying for a hispanic family to teach!!!

I love being a missionary. Everything is always changing, and I have to adapt to new situations and circumstances. I never thought I would serve out of valley, but now that I'm here, I'm ready to work hard and help the people in this ward!

Favorite quote of the week: "Accountability is a principle that influences how you begin, how you think, and feel about the responsibility the Lord has given you, how you approach your work, and how well you endure". #pmg #beaccountable I love this quote because it's true, we need to take responsbility and give 100% to what the Lord has called us to do!

I love y'all so much!!!! Choose the right. Remember who you are!!!!! The Lord loves you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
