WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY!!!!! #north #rockinit!

So this week. Nothing really eventful happened. I did get over my first area homesickness. Finally, it only took 3 weeks. Hahaha. My companion had a serious talk with me, and pretty much told me to just get over it. So I did. It's been really hard. I knew my old area so well, and I knew all the people. I was in shock when I came here. I have truly come to love the members, investigators, and recent converts here though. I'm pretty sure North members are the best ever. Most of them are converts, and they are so centered on missionary work. They are amazing. I love seeing them fellowship our investigators, and truly become their friends. They are so willing to help us out, 2 different members gave our investigators rides to church. It was so awesome!!!

WE got a new obispo yesterday!!!! "I have released so many missionaries. And every single one cries when they have to take the tag off. When they take it off, they are no longer an ambassador for Christ. They work, and work hard. They represent the Savior in all that they do. They change lives, they change YOUR lives. Missionaries changed my life and the life of your new bishop."  -Stake President

I totally cried. Even though being a missionary is the hardest thing emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and sometimes physically; I never want it to end!!!!!! I get sad when I think about the fact that I really don't have that much time left. I love my mission. I love being able to be a full time representative of my Savior Jesus Christ. I'm exhausted all the time, because I'm always trying to be better, find ways to help our investigators. (I have investigator dreams like every night. hahha. not even a break while sleeping).

I don't have much time left for this email. Sorry.

This week we danced to "What does the Fox say". Our member really wanted us to meet her neighbor friend. She's a stripper! She had the game Just DAnce on, and her sons were dancing, and she asked us to join them. So we did. WE rocked it. After that one song, we stated our purpose as missionaries, and prayed with her. Apparently she loves us, and wants us to come back. "They were so real." Too bad she only speaks english! :(

Okay!!!! I love y'all!! I promise to write more next week!!! :)

We also had stake conference this week.  Elder Pino from the first quorum of seventy came.  It was amazing.  We found out that our little branch is the highest baptizing unit in our stake!!!!  The stake had a total of 64 baptisms last year and 22 came from our branch!!!!!!!!!!  How crazy cool is that?! -Hermana Allen
