How did this happen?? ITS THE LAST LETTER! This week has</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">been very eventful week :) how fitting, eh?</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Departing temple: my final temple trip as a missionary was amazing! So</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">insightful and I learned more than I have before!

I love the Cookes so much. They</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">have truly blessed and enriched my mission, as well as my life.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Member meals: the members are feeding us! Last week we had a full week</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">of member meals! It was great! Heavenly Father is truly blessing us in</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">so many ways! And it's great because the wRs knows who we are! If you</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">don't know the missionaries in your ward, feed them. You'll be their</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">best friends.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Sister Carcamo: she is so cute. She has a tiny wrinkle between her</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">eyebrows that she just despises. Well, on Wednesday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">, she took a piece</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">of packing tape and put it over her stretched out wrinkle while</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">muttering something about how she hates getting old or something :)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">ha, she's 20.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Happiness: life is tough, but so are you! So hold your chin up and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">keep moving forward. It will all be okay in the end. You are loved</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">more than you know.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Baptisms: I found out yesterday that 2 of my investigators from DC2</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">are getting baptized!!! One is Sunday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> (which I sadly can't make</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">it to) and the other will be March 15th</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">!! Ah!! I'm so happy I could</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">cry!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Anyway, I think that is all for this week! One more letter and then</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">I'm home! See you next week!!</span><br />

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hiiiiii everyone!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"> This
week has been somewhat eventful :) but a really good week at</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">that.
So let's get to it!!</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> Ms.
Brooke: she's truly my favorite investigator right now. The spirit</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">it
always really strong with her! She has such great faith in Christ,</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">and
she loves Him so much! It's really sweet. I always leave her house</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">feeling
spiritually uplifted! She's like another grandmother for me,</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">it's
really sweet. Seriously, you all would love her.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Other
investigators: we had to drop a couple investigators (Steve and</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Teresa)
simply because their desire to learn isn't there anymore. Both</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">of
these investigators have been dropped and picked up multiple times.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I know
some day, they'll get it and have that desire, but for now...</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">We
just have to trust and have faith.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> Dance
parties: these are a common occurrence in my apartment these</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">days.
I enjoy it immensely.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> President
Cooke: he's a very inspired man. I'm so grateful for his</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">leadership,
and for his care of us missionaries. He and Sister Cooke</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">are
some of the best people I've met, and I look forward to a lifetime</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">of
friendship with them. I'm "living the dream in the best mission in</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">the
history of life".</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="background: white;"> Comp
comps: I like my companions. They are wonderful. We don't always</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">agree,
but we teach well together. Each of my comps has a special</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">talent
or testimony that she brings to the lessons. I'm so grateful</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">for
each of them and the good work they do. I'm truly blessed.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> Trunks
moment: I have 16 days left. I'm not completely sure how I feel</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">about
it. It really kind of depends on when you ask me. Like earlier</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">at
zone activity (which was dodgeball, by the way. Great fun), I would</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">have
told you I never wanted to come home. But now as I write this</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">email,
I'm excited for everything the future holds. Family, meeting my</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">sisters
babies, pants music, family, friends, family.... Did I mention</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">loved
ones yet? God has given me the greatest opportunity to be an</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">official
representative of Jesus Christ for a period in my life, but</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">now it
ending. Now I can go home and take what I learned here, and</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">apply
it there. The mission never ends, you just take off the name</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">tag.
I'm so grateful for my mission, all I've learned, the people I've</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">met,
and the prayers that have been answered.</span></span></div>

yep, we have iPads now. Nope, we don't get to keep them. Yes</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">they
make life much easier. Yes, I want to chuck them out the window</span><br />

Yes, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. It's exciting.</span><br />

heart for the next missionaries who come. Some are just on the edge, but they
need to trust in God and take a leap of faith. Others, we're still not sure
about. But one thing I am sure about is that God knows their hearts. He knows
what they need. And I have seen and felt His hand in this work everyday of my
mission. It's seriously the coolest thing to witness :) I love being a
missionary!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we're on sacred temple grounds. Truth is, I want to tell you about the last

today... So my email might be short... Again! (Don't hate me!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I knew I liked
proselyting a lot from when I was full-proselyting last February, but to be
honest, I was nervous about being 90% proselyting this transfer. It scared me
to bits, actually. But it turns out, I love it just like I loved being
full-proselyting in Bowie! I love talking to people and being out with them.
It's a whole other side of missionary work. I am so lucky to have the best of
both missionary worlds (Visitors Center and Proselyting). Seriously, it makes
my mission the coolest mission ever. The people on New Carrollton remind me a lot
of the people in Detroit (well, maybe more Westland/Livonia). I almost feel at
home here. I seriously love being a missionary!<span style="font-size: 8.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Go look up
'cute' in the dictionary. Her picture will be there. No but really, if you
think of a definition for cute, she is the embodiment of it. She loves being a
princess, she loves kitties, she loves pink, she love girly things, and fluffy
things. Oh, and soft things. And flowers. She's kind of like a 9 year old
trapped in a body of a (almost) 20 year old. But she knows how to work and she
does it. Gets stuff done. That could be her fifth name. Fernanda Camila Gets-stuff-done
Caramo Fenandez. I wish that really was part of her name . That would be cool.
But anyway, she's from Chile. The very bottom island (named Line of Fire... but
in Spanish) close to Antarctica. Penguins live there. Sounds like a really cool
place to live. (No pun intended.) She took 2 semesters of English at BYU before
her mission. She turns 20 on the 19th (</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Sunday</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">). She's pretty awesome. I think I'll keep her around for the
next 5 weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Me, Sister Holland and 2 Elders sang Come Thou Fount. It was pretty. The 4 of
us actually sang it in sacrament meeting a few weeks ago, so it was fun to do
it again. It's kind of fun that I've had the chance to develop a talent on my
mission. Not that singing is a talent for me, but it's been fun to...Sing. Does
that make any sense? I don't know. Still cool. The program was actually really
nice though, Sister Eyring did a great job!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

One shift
a week isn't enough. I know early I said I loved having more time, and I do,
but I miss the Visitors Center. I miss being with the sisters, I miss having
responsibility, and I miss meeting the people! I have met people from 89
different countries because of the Visitors Center. It's so stinking cool, I
can't even get over it!

woman named Maria. She came in with her member friend. She had been meeting
with missionaries, moved, met with new missionaries, then dropped. She felt
rushed and pushed to be baptized. The thing is, Maria knows that the church is
true, she just won't let herself recognize it. She's afraid. And as we were
talking, Heavenly Father taught me something that I was able to share with her:
Heavenly Father is going to let us fall sometimes, but He will never let us hit
the ground. He will always catch us and support us. How cool is that
realization? We only need to trust Him! Everything WILL be alright because
Christ Atoned for us. Have faith- That is all we need to do (well, and repent
and be baptized/take the sacrament, receive the Holy Ghost and put it all on
repeat, but still!) The point is, we never have any need to fear. I love that!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">D&C</span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">6:36 </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/6.36?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Look</span></a></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">unto me in every</span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/6.36?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">thought</span></a>;</span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/6.36?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">doubt</span></a></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">not, fear not.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the same. I don't feel like it's my last transfer. I don't feel like I'm going

staying together in New Carrollton and we're being joined by Hermana Carcamo!
This is her 5th or 6th transfer, but it will be her first transfer in the
English program! She is from Chile and is just the most adorable little thing I
have ever seen! This transfer is going to be fun :) Hopefully we can
figure out how to fit one more person into our apartment... Should be easy
though! Also, more news: I'm going to be a grandma! Sister Croese is training
this transfer! Her trainee is from Tahiti! How cool is that?? AND. i am no

I am stepping down to let a younger sister (Sister Smith! I love her) take over
the "Trainer life". Aaaaaand I'll probably only have like 1 shift a week
at the VC. We have 2 full-pros areas because Temple Square is sending us 2
sisters for their out-bounds (if they aren't allowed to work at a visitors
center, why send them to a visitors center mission??). And we're also doing a
90%-pros thing working towards having a half-and-half mission where not every
sister serves in the VC. There will be pros sisters and VC sisters. My area
will be 90%-pros. I can't say I'm a huge fan of that idea, but it's coming from
Salt Lake so I'll go along with it. And that should be about it for the
transfer report!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

And I was the runner again. Guess who was outside sitting in his truck? The
same old man, haha. This time he didn't whistle at me though. He just called
out, "Hello again, sweetheart!" I just smiled, waved, and kept
running. Also, I don't know if the family liked our gifts or not. We didn't
reveal ourselves to them like we had planned. (But honestly, I like it better
that way.) 'twas fun. Maybe a tradition that I'll keep up next Christmas?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

than the first, but that's normal. We had full houses on both shows which made
us feel good :) haha. (And yes, it was recorded, but you probably won't see it
until I get home! Sorry!) Then, after we closed the VC, we had a VC Sister
party! We came, ate food, took lots of pictures, played a lot of games, and the
senior couples told us Christmas stories, and Elder and Sister Eyring played
wonderful music for us :) It was a great party! AND. The senior couples really
spoiled us! They gave each of us a stocking that was filled to the brim, a gift
card to Macy's, and gift card to Cafe Rio, and a beautiful bracelet! (And lot's
of snacks and goodies of course.) It was wonderful. We didn't get home until

(Somewhat awkward to dance in front of your colleagues...), we gave President
and Sister Cooke their gifts (a beautiful picture of the DC temple, and a
Washington Nationals jersey with the number 13 on it that all of us had
signed), and then we watched Monster University! It was so cute! Not very
Christmas-y, but I loved it :) From there, we went over to the stake center to
have our delicious lunch and the variety show!! THE ELDERS DID SO WELL WITH
THEIR NUTCRACKER! It was hilarious!! People loved it :) I was so proud of them!

brilliant idea to do a 12days of Christmas for a family in the ward. We
get them a present everyday, and then door-bell-ditch it. It's really fun and
thoughtful and sweet and all that jazz. So last Monday, it was our turn to door-bell-ditch
the gift. Sister holland can't run, and I have discovered a love for
sprinting.... So I became the runner. She parked down the street, and I calmly
walked to the house, dropped the gift, rang and took off running. But soon into
my run, I found that my skirt was a little too restrictive to run in.... So I
did what anyone in my situation would do: I hicked the skirt up just a tad.
Knees were showing, but I didn't think anything of it because no one was
around. Well, that helped alot! I ran faster! And then I heard someone
whistling at me. Full on cat-call. I didn't stop running, but I looked over and
saw their neighbor leaning against his shed, watching me run. I finally reached
the car and just LAUGHED. Probably for a good 3 minutes. Sister Holland looked
at me like I was crazy, but I was just dying. Apparently, my knees are cat-call

pretty much the best day ever in the VC. We had a HUGE crowd (5,000 people in
the center) and a surprise third show! The first 2 shows were completely full.
People were even standing in the back of the theater! It was madness! But it
was also a night of miracles! Let me just share 3 of those with you! 1. Half
way through the 1st show, our sound system cut out. Luckily you could still
hear the bells (it was a bell choir), but after the show, Elder Burnham says
that we can't have our 2nd performance without a sound system! We had a full
house waiting up stairs with tickets!! We had to have this show! So Sister
Aldridge, Sister Connelly, and I said a quick prayer asking Heavenly father to
help the tech guys work it out. AND IT WORKED. The sound system came alive and
we had our 2nd show. Miracle. 2. Same show. Preparing for the 2nd performance,
I noticed 3 people sittiing in our front row. They had come in without tickets.
One of them was the mother of a preformer who had been let in by a ticket
lady... but then she brought 2 other people with her. Again, we had a full
house upstairs waiting to come in. If they have a ticket, thay are gaurenteed a
seat. So this was a problem. As I'm talking to the ticket ladies, trying to
figure this out, a lady walks up to the table and says, "We were waiting
for some friends, but they aren't going to make it," and hands me 3
tickets! Problem instantly solved. Miracle. 3. We had been trying all week to
get into contact with our investigator Amy. She needed to be interviewed</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> on Saturday </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">so she could be baptized</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Sunday</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.

was crazy! Jenny Oaks Baker performed 3 shows and brought almost 5,000 people

Pretty much. I LOVED IT. I love nights where you can barely walk in the VC.
It's so much fun! And the best part of it is how happy and nice people are!
They are all just trying to have the Christmas spirit with them, so they
are much more patient and understanding... And they do what is asked of them :)
I organized the lines last night (we had 3 ginormous lines going all night
long). It was so fun. Seriously. I can't even tell you how much I loved last
night. It was great. And the best part is, it's happening again tonight! Jenny
is coming back to play 3 more shows tonight! YAY.</span></div>

long drive home about some different things. Mostly about her homesickness. I
don't really know how to help her? I've never really been homesick, and I've
never had a homesick companion before. So we're both figuring this out
together. Hopefully I'm able to help her. Especially now that we're closer to
Christmas... That's just going to make it worse. Please keep her in your prayers
:) That would be much appreciated! Thank you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

members to do it. Which is fine, but our area is quite far from the VC and so
if we were to go home after the mission Christmas party to Skype, only one of
us would get to talk before we had to go back to the VC. So we need to see if
there is a member that has the equipment to have both of us Skyping at the same
time. If not, I told Sister Holland that she would be the one to Skype (since
she's the homesick one and I'll see you in like 9 weeks). But we'll figure it
out and get the time to you</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> on Monday</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">.

Principles was on grace and mercy. I really liked how our teacher defined these
things: Grace is getting what we don't deserve, while mercy is not getting what
we do deserve. Just an interesting thought, I guess. I never really thought
about the difference between grace and mercy until I came on my mission, and I
feel like that has been of the greatest lessons I've learned. An yesterday with
church, it was like the finishing touch :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

after choir, Sister Holland and I carefully drove back to our apartment, and
there we stayed... Kind of. We have a senior couple that lives in our complex,
so we walked over to their place and watched the Christmas Broadcast with them
:) Wasn't the broadcast wonderful?? It was a little bit of a different set up
this year, but it was fun. It was also fun to see a few people there that
I had met just days before (Sister Wixom, and a member of the MoTab).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This year, it was Elder Christofferson that came to help turn on the lights the
first night, then Sister Wixom the second. Elder Christofferson surprised me
that first night! There I was, standing on the floor, and he walks up behind me
and asks, "How are you this evening?" As I'm turning I say, "I'm
well, how are you?" By the end of my words, I'm looking at him, and I
realize who I'm talking to. I would pay good money to see the look on my face!
He kindly smiled, shook my hand, and went to greet the other sisters. I felt so
dumb. Oh well. Meeting Sister Wixom went a little smoother. She and her husband
are so cute together! I loved spending time with them! Also, during diplomat
night, there was a camera crew from Salt Lake there... My Visitors' Center might be part of a
Mormon Message soon. I don't think I'm in any of the shots, but I know I was
right behind them while they were filming some of their shots :) Should be cool
to eventually see.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in the area was pretty eventful. It was kind of a stormy day, lots of wind and
rain. It was about 8:30 or so and Sister Holland and I had just
finished making the turkey cookies. I got up and started walking towards the
kitchen window when there was a large crack and smack! The wind snapped a tree
and it fell on our apartment building! We were safe, but it was crazy! So
eventually, our building was swarmed with firemen... One came banging down our
door, so we let him in and he ran to the patio door... but couldn't figure out
how to open it... It was kind of a comical moment for all of us. Then, Sister
Holland and I wrapped up in blankets and stood out on our patio watching all
the action happen. While we were standing there, 2 firemen came over and
started asking us about the tree and if we saw it and such. I told them we
heard it while making cookies. One firemen stopped and said, "Are any of
those cookies ready?" Of course we said yes and immediately drooped them
both a turkey cookie, and also a Festival of Lights pass-a-long card. It was
kind of an odd, but cool way to start in a new area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

transfer. Also, I remembered where she's from! McCall, Idaho. 2 hours away from
Boise. Liiiiitle town. Also, also, she sounds like an Idahoan. She drops the

accompany President Cooke to a forum down at Georgetown University (a campus we
are required to stay FAR away from)! The forum was on scriptural authority, and
they invited a Protestant minister, a Rabbi, and President Cooke. So you had a
Catholic (because it's Georgetown), a Methodist, a Jew, and a Mormon talking
about scriptural authority! So cool! And a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Sadly though, I fell ill that evening right before we were supposed to go, so I
spent my evening in the Visitors Center while my companions went with President. They said
it was really cool though! I wish I could have been there!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Chase ward, inviting us to come to the Georgetown Law campus for yet another
forum. This one was more in the style of Why I Believe (Law School style).
There was a panel of 3 members from different backgrounds, but all law students
or Georgetown Law alums. Super cool. We started the meeting off by teaching
both the Restoration and the Plan of Salvation in 5 minutes, then the panelists
told their conversion stories, and then it was opened up to the audience for
questions! It was so cool to witness (I was able to be there, hence the title
of this paragraph). I LOVE people :) And I love when the Spirit is teaching
someone. It's so cool to watch!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

with her. Sister J and I met her at the endish of last transfer, and we've been
meeting with her ever since. The thing I love most about Tory, is her ability
to think deeply. She asks the best questions! And yet, she doesn't let her
thoughts get in the way of what her heart (and the spirit) are telling her!
It's so cool! I love hearing her thoughts or her perspective. I love how she
interprets some scriptures that I've read all my life, but she opens my
understanding more! She's basically the coolest person ever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The one from Sacrament meeting, I would love to
share with you, but it takes a TON of explaining and it creates a very long
conversation! So if you want to hear my thoughts on "true happiness",
message me and I'll tell you. But I will tell you my other thought. I titled it
"I am who I am who I am". I am who I am and I can choose who I am.
Therefore, I should never not like myself, because I can CHOOSE who I am. Or,
if I don't like myself, I can change because I have the ability to choose who I
am. This is kind of like, "duh!", but it blew my mind yesterday! I
have struggled off and on my whole life with not liking myself or feeling
inadequate or just wanting to change, and now I finally realize that I CAN
change. I have had 2 gifts given to me: agency, and the Atonement of Jesus
Christ. If I'm truly applying these things in my life, and using the correctly,
how can I not change? How can I not become the person I want to be? Ah! I just
love thinking about this! It's so empowering :) Anyway, I'm just in a thinking
mood still, so I could go on forever. But I'll leave it at that for now. (But
seriously, hit me up about "true happiness".)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I'm leaving DC2nd. I'm not quite over
this yet. For the first time n my WHOLE mission, I'm not excited to go to a
new area. I'm not ready to leave! DC2 is THE best area, and my favorite ward so
far! I've made so many friends, and had so much fun working with people my age,
but I guess the Lord has other plans for me. But I'm still really sad about it
:( Sister Leben (from Germany) will be my replacement. Sister Naka and Robert
are staying here. I don't want to go :( Ha, both my converts in this ward left
before I did, so I guess it's my turn.... But! I'm going to New Carrolton. It's
out towards Bowie, so that will be fun. I'll be companions with Sister Holland
(from a little town in Idaho. I don't remember where, but I know it's in the
middle of no where). This will be her 2nd transfer, so I'll be finishing her
training. She just BARELY turned 19 right before she entered the MTC. But I
don't really know much else about her. I'll have more for you next week, I'm
sure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

She's out and about a lot of the time. It's been awhile since she's been down.
She just can't eat meat or raw veggies and she's good... Usually. It's so
strange!! Also, her father has been called as a Mission President! They are
just waiting for their assignment :) Exciting, eh? It will most likely be in
Japan!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

He's
pretty much awesome. Very action minded which is exactly what this ward needs!
He's reforming the ward mission plan and redefining the ward missionaries
calling. Could be really cool :) Actually, I know it will be really cool! I'm
excited for all these changes. But I was wondering, how many of you have read
or have a copy of your ward mission plan? It would be cool if everyone knew and
was a part of the ward mission plan! You should find a copy! Missionary work
can bless your life just as much as it has blessed mine! Help your local
missionaries out! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

choreographing this thing. I worked a little bit on it today. I'll keep working
on it. (And mom, I promise I'll get someone to film it. You might be the only

was soooo good! I heard Sunday was good, too. (I was there, but
talking to Jordan after one of the roughest nights of his life, so I didn't
hear any of it.) But I'll share some of my favorite quotes with you from Saturday,
if you don't mind! (The whole conference was on missionary work) "Faith
will overcome doubt" "we need to sign ourselves up for the missionary
marathon! Don't let it pass you by" "Where is heaven, is it very far?
When you're with those you love, it's right where you are" "What more
could I have done?" "The work of salvation started way before we came
to this Earth" "Save yourself, save your family, share the
message" "We must unite" I know these are all out of context,
but apply them how you'd like :) Hooray for missionary work <3<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Guess what, Elder Zwick is in charge of that portion of the world, so he was
getting updates about it in every meeting we had with him. Kind of weird to
hear breaking news as a missionary. But he showed us pictures of the first 20
missionaries coming into the MTC in Manilla from Tacloban. Wow. I can't even
describe what it was like looking at those missionaries who had just fought for
their lives only 36 hours before we viewed those photos. He told us many of
their stories and there was a certain reverence as he did so. What is truly
amazing though is that all 206 missionaries in that mission survived. And now
they have all been reassigned and are back out in the field! I have a great
respect for those missionaries. May our prayers continue to be with them and
their families.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I loved this week
just because of him. I was with him all day Thursday, all day Friday,Saturday evening,
and Sunday morning. I loved every second of it! I would go so far to
say that it was life changing! He has completely changed my mission! I have
learned so much about teaching, about listening, about loving, about questions,
about the work in general. And I learned a little about post-mission stuff,
too. But that's not important. I think my favorite lesson I've learned from him
was the difference between work, and work. Let me explain. So in Spanish, there
are 2 translations of work: Trabajo and obra. He said that usually, when we
talk about missionary work, we use obra, which is more a passion for the work.
But he said we need more trabajo, which is the physical, or manual labor. I
couldn't agree more. I'm tired of just having passion and love for the work! I
want to get down to hard work! I want to be able to say I'm truly giving
everything I have to this work! Trabajo!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(Which is why we had no time to email...) But it was super fun :) We all were 8
years old again and went to play Lazer Tag. I'm still really bad at it. I died
a lot. But I didn't come dead last! Only 2nd to dead last... Both times. But it
was still fun. And after that, all the sisters in our combined zones went to
eat at Sardi's! It is a Peruvian chicken place, and it is my favorite
restaurant out here :) I love it so much! You'll have to try it next time
you're out here! All in all, it was a fun day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

had a dream about me that was just hilarious! In her dream I was sent home
because I was pregnant (Don't freak out, just read on). Later, all the sisters
found out that I was actually married, and that I had somehow weaseled my way

married AND come on a mission. I guess I just wanted to be extra blessed? ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It's different being a sister in Festival, and being a leader in Festival. I
didn't think it would be so different! But it will be great :) Brother Brewer
is a member that lives in the area. He sits outside every night, with out a
coat no matter the weather, and greets people-welcomes them to the festival,
talks to them about the lights, here's about their experiences inside...
basically he is the most beloved fixtures on Festival :) Everyone loves him. It
wouldn't be festival without him. But he's also very sick, and so there was
concern that he wouldn't be able to come this year. But he's coming!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for us trainers is crazy this transfer. I feel so disorganized and so out of my

starts and we have no time to do anything. And there are a lot of extra things
we have to do for Festival this year... Like make a completely new schedule
because we'll now be in companionship's at the Visitors' Center! No more teaching solo! So
that has to be reworked, and we also need new training on Ambassador's Night
and Diplomat Night because that's changing also... And Brother Brewer is coming
again this year! It will be his 34th Christmas working with us :) He is truly
amazing :) I'm so excited for him to come and share his miracles with us! But,
it has us trainers running around like crazy women trying to organize things...
It will all work out! (Somehow)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

day after transfers! But no fears, we will be taken care of. If we aren't
eating with members, we'll eat with a senior couple. I love Thanksgiving as a
missionary! It's a time to really reflect on all the blessings we receive on a
daily basis, and as a missionary, I feel like I notice these blessings even
more! Something that I have started doing has really helped me see even more
beauty in life: a gratitude journal! You should give it a try :) Every night,
write 10 things you're grateful for. Tell me what happens :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

together, the stress and high energy, and just the atmosphere! I love
everything about Festival! I wish you all could be here to experience this with

It was
everything I had hoped it would be and more! There's a lot I want to tell you,
but I don't know how to put it all into words! We started the day by going to
the Mall and taking sunrise pictures! It was a <i>perfect</i> day for
this! It was clear, and the sun was beautiful... It was freezing but it as perfect!
after pictures and breakfast, we went down to Arlington National Cemetery! It
was weird to be outside of my mission boundaries! I felt somewhat disobedient,
and then I remembered that this was put on by my mission president, haha. We
first gathered in the cemetery visitors' center, and President Cooke talked to
us a little bit about how sacred this ground was and what we would be doing
that day. It was really sweet. Our first stop was the tomb of the Unknown. This
was probably my favorite part of the day! We watched the Old Guard walk his 21
steps back and forth in front of the Tomb, and at the top of the hour, we were
able to watch the changing of the guard! it was really cool! Then! We were also
able to watch the changing of the wreath at the Tomb, which has it's own
ceremony! So that was awesome. then we went down below the tomb to the barracks
where the Old Guards live! There, we learned all about the centennials that
guard the Tomb and what they have to do to earn such a high position and the honor
of guarding the Tomb. It sounds pretty hard core. It was so cool :) After that,
we took pictures in the groups we'll be leaving in. My group is surprisingly
large! From there, we went over to the Arlington house, which is the Lee's
property. It was so cool to be there and to see the house that they lived in
and to hear their stories. Knowing that I'm somehow related to General Lee made
it even cooler! Then we went over to President Kennedy's grave with the eternal
flame. Can you believe that was 50 years ago? It seems like it's so fresh in
every ones mind still! And I wasn't even thought of when it happened! It's just
amazing how history can stay in our hearts and minds no matter the length of
time. After this, and a lot of walking, we took one last group photo on top of
the Women in Military building. And then it hit me just what this trip meant. I
have just over 3 months left as a missionary. It's just so weird that soon, all
of this will be coming to an end! It feels like just yesterday I was opening my
call, or being set apart, or driving down to Provo. I feel like I just met
Sister Jarrett and my district in the MTC! I feel like I just go here. I can't
be leaving in 3 months! But I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had for
anything. This was the best decision I've ever made in my life. I'm so grateful
I've had the opportunity to serve my Lord full-time. I am so blessed to be able
to work and give everything I have to His work. And those 3 months might fly,
but I'll make them the best of my mission. I promise to work harder than I ever
have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

curious as to why we had started to come on Mondays. So I explained it all to
him </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">and whatnot. Then we left the store, but had to wait for some other
sisters. While we were waiting, another worker came out and asked us, "Are
y'all really in training to be nuns?" We laughed so hard, and then
explained to him that we were missionaries, to which he replied, "Oh, one
of the guys in there said that you were like baby nuns!" So, hi! My name
is Sister Bullock, and I'm a baby nun! Hahaha. No but really, it was a cool
contact!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Yep :) You're not a real missionary until you have the cops called on you
during a service project! We had set up a time with an older lady the Elders
had been doing service for to come rake her leaves. So one fall morning, all 5
missionaries from our ward show up and start raking leaves... And all the
sudden, there is a cop and a social worker there! The social worker rushes into
the house without saying anything to us, and the cop starts talking to the zone
leaders. then another cop shows up... And then another! I guess her neighbors
were concerned that we were trying to scam her, so they called the cops. It
turned into a really good contact though! We were able to tell the cops about
missions and why we serve and how we pay to put our life on hold and serve
people! It was cool. I couldn't tell if they were impressed, or just thought we
were nuts. But, either way it was still cool.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

earlier today, Sister robertson was talking about somehting (I don't remember

conversation, so she asked, "What's genius?" Abd Sister Robertson
said, "Like, smart." Bwahahaha :) Sister Naka just about died
laughing. it was an honest mistake on both parts, but it sure made for a
fun time in our apartment :) You probably had to be there for this to be
funny... Oh well, you get to hear it anyways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This was one of the highlights
of this week! So there was this couple in the Visitors Center, and as they were walking out,
Elder Burnham stops them and asks them where they are from. The lady says she's
originally from Canada. I love anything Canadian, and I always have to ask
where in Canada they are from. When she told me Calgary, I replied that my
father grew up there! She asked where I'm from, and I told her that all the
Bullock's are up in Wellling. She looked at my name tag immediately, and excited
tells me, "I'm Jonica's sister!!" Oh my goodness! It was so cool!
Definitely a tender mercy from the Lord! Linda and I aren't directly related,
but it was still cool! I should have grabbed a picture with her! Maybe next
time :) So that was fun...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is also sad. Too many mixed emotions! Ah! She's such a good missionary though
:) She's grown alot these past few weeks, and I'm so proud of her!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This week has been
lots of fun :) But, everyday with Sister J is fun, so that's not really news!
It's getting colder here! And the trees are turning gorgeous colors! I forgot
how much I actually like the fall... Anywho, you didn't come here to hear about
the weather! Onto the list!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

bubbly and full of spunk! She makes missionary work become missionary fun!
Sadly, I'm pretty sure that today is my last p-day with her :( One of us is
being transfered, but I won't say who! It's just really sad. I've really
enjoyed these past 5 weeks! And it's all her fault! But! It's okay, I guess...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

J and I went through 3 weeks ago- the shock, the disgust, the saddness, and the
trunky stuff. It's not fun starting facebook as a missionary, but it gets
better. Poor Sisters though. It's tough! But! This means the work will progress
and hasten! As we get more comfortable and figure out what we are doing, using
facebook will be so awesome!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Barlow, there was a protest outside our building!! At first it sounded like 1
guy standing outside our building, yelling like crazy. Then it got louder and
louder and sounded like there were more people. At one point, I got up and left
the session to see what was happening. It was some group of people protesting
something political. I don't really know what (I still live under a rock) but
it was kinda of weird. But it was neat how even though there were people
yelling just outside out door, the spirit was still so strong as we heard the
Apostles and the Prophet speaking to us! I love Conference!! Only 6 months til
the next one!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

wonderful and compassionate and beautiful and, well, I could go on forever. but
really, I just love her. The other night she surprised us (Sister J and I) with
a bag full of gifts! Face wash and acne creams for me (how sweet!), lotion and
make up for Sister J, and cookies for us to share! How thoughtful is that?? She
is just too good for us! And, I think the wash and cream are really helping :)
Yay!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Saturday, Sister J and I had another fun service opportunity! We went just down
the street and cut down HUGE bamboo stalks and fed them to the wood chipper :)
It was really fun! And even though bamboo is super light, I still felt strong
and cool, haha. I'm neither, but it's all good. I have really come to love
service on my mission! It is so wonderful just going out and doing something
good for the community or for someone in need . Tis good for the soul :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

night, Sister J and I were stopped at a stop light, and a dog in a cone (of
shame) walks by, and of course I have to point him out. And Sister J just
starts laughing uncontrollably! Hysterical laughter was coming from the
passenger seat. Then this lady stops the dog and his owner and starts petting
the dog, and the dog leans against the lady and almost knocks her over... And
this only causes Sister J to laugh even harder. I was worried that she would
stop breathing, she was laughing so hard. In fact, she started crying. All
because of a dog in a cone. This is why I love my companion :) "That dog
looks so dumb!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

awesome! No word yet on her visa, but I secretly hope she stays for Festival.
That would be so cool, and she would be completely perfect for such things. But
I also hope she goes to Brazil soon... That is where she is called. And I know
Heavenly father has a plan for her there. But I'm slightly selfish and I want
her to be here for as long as possible. I'll keep you updated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

they play hard. As demonstrated in their Family Home Evening activities. Last
week, they had a So You Think You Can Dance activity, which was super fun! We
(Sister J and I) even got to participate! It was hilarious! But this past Monday was
SO intense, and I was so grateful that I had a name tag on. They played kissing
rugby! Have you ever heard of that? If not, go look it up on youtube. It's so
funny! Sister J and I were laughing hard the whole time! I have a couple pretty
great quotes for you: Guy-"I feel like Frodo when the spider jumps
on him.. Just like AH!" Girl-"Thanks?" Guy-"But in a good
way" (ha!) or, (Guy hugs girl before kissing her forehead)-"It's not
really a kiss if you harpoon them one!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I don't know, maybe not. Maybe I'm just over the shock of it all. But,
hopefully it'll continue to be useful! I've had some great contacts already :)

conference? I'm not sure! But conference as a missionary is like going to
Disney World. It would be better than Christmas if we didn't get to talk to our
families on Christmas day. It's that good. And it's this weekend!! Ah! I'm so
excited! Have you prepared you questions yet? NO? It's okay, you still have
time. Take some time this week, form a question, something you really want an
answer to. I would even suggest you write your question down! then pray about
it every chance you get. Ask Heavenly Father to help your heart and mind (and
ears) be open to hear the answers he has for you! I promise you that if you do
this, you will receive the answer you need! So try it! Then let me know how it
goes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about it. We're teaching some cool kids (okay, one awesome girl!) So, I'll try
to keep you updated on that from time-to-time. Just know that it's all good for
now :) I love being a missionary!! Okay, now I'm really done. I love you all so
much and I miss you, too! Please keep reading your scriptures and saying your
prayers. Favorite quote time; "When we want to talk to God, we call it
prayer. When God speaks to us, we call it revelation" (Elder Bednar, I
think). but there are many ways to receive revelation! Prayer, scriptures,
church, temple attendance... the list goes on, and on!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

So
let me try to answer a few of those really fast. The purpose of facebook for a
missionary is to share the gospel. Whether it's through Mormon Messages, I'm A
Mormon profiles, awesome quotes, or whatever, that's what it is meant for. It's
supposed to be a finding tool as well. I'm there so I can answer questions and
have great conversations with people about gospel related things. My purpose is
to invite others to come unto Christ, so hopefully I can do that through the
internet. Now, that being said, I probably won't message you back if you are
family, or a strong member of the Church (unless you have a friend you want me
to teach). I'm sorry! I would really love to talk to you all, but I'll just have
to wait to do that for another 4 1/2 ish months. But please remember, if I
don't message you back or I hide a comment from my timeline, I still love you!

idea to do a Family History Booth. Basically just a table with a big (awesome)
poster and lots of flyers about family history work... All of that would just
be an excuse to talk to people on the street. It was a great idea! But then we
realized that we don't know anything about family history work. So this past Sunday,
we (the Elders in the ward and us) went to the family history center and
learned a few things! Really, I just learned that there is a lot of work to still
be done! Large chunks of history that I thought were there, just weren't. I
have some holes to start filling, I think! And I'm excited for it! I never
thought I'd get into family history work, but here I am! Maybe you should try
it out, too! Try <a href="http://familysearch.org./">FamilySearch.org.</a> It's free ;) And maybe you'll have some fun

so many Brazilians! And I love them all! They are such nice people! And I love
the way they talk! Have you ever heard a Brazilian talk? It's beautiful! So the
other night, a little Brazilian man came into the VC, and after my compa told
me about her conversation with him, I really wanted to talk to him! He had been
a Portuguese teacher in the MTC in Brazil! Super cool! So I went out and talked
to him for a while about how awesome Sister J is, and then I casually mentioned
how I'm secretly hoping she never leaves (becasue I love her!), and he stops,
looks at me with this look of shock and (practically) yells, "It's you!
YOU are keeping her here! That is so sad! Let her go! Stop praying for her to
stay! She needs to go to Brazil! It's so sad that she is here! It's you, it's
you, it's you! Stop it!" i couldn't help but laugh! It was just too funny
:) I love Brazilians!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Okay, good. Well, the other night, Sister J and I were driving home from the
Barlow Center and we passed a Smash Burger. She's never been to Smash Burger,
so I started joking with her that they literally smash your burger before you
get it. This may or may not have included a pantomime of me smashing something
with a hammer. Aaaand that may or may not have been seen by the cab driver next
to us. And he most definitely started laughing at me. Which of course made us
laugh. So then Sister J rolled the window down and invited him to the Visitors Center!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">How
has it been another week?? Time is flying way too fast! I kinda want this
transfer to last forever</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Wingdings;">:)</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I love my companion,

It was fun! I was in a meeting
from 9-5, then on shift at the Visitors Center! But the meeting was really fun! Then that
night, I burned a shirt! I just grabbed it from the closet of unwanted clothing
in the Visitors Center… Mostly because I couldn't bring myself to burn any of my own shirts…
But yeah. Twas fun. You'll (maybe) see the video when I send my SD cards
home... (sorry it has taken so long!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

us that we are now an online proselyting mission! What? It's weird... I don't
like it yet. But maybe with time it will get better. You know, like when I
actually start teaching people through facebook instead of just seeing that
everyone and their dog got married in the past year. (Weird.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a blanket instead. I was a very large, flowered mass sitting in the stands, but

me put it in a baggy and take it to the doctors (she wouldn't let me cancel my
appointment). It might have just been a weird blood vessel thing, but they sent
it to the lab just to be sure. And then they sent me home with samples to make
my face less oily and bumpy :) Yay! I love the dermatologist!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

didn't have a ward! So we just jumped into the Chevy Chase ward. Which was

gave all of the missionaries a booklet called "Adjusting to Missionary

a missionary for a year!" But Heavenly Father proved me wrong. Sister J
and I have been studying it together every morning (that we have study time)
and there is actually some pretty good stuff in there :) I like it. Mission

And it's something I think everyone should do. Whether you're like me and grew
up in the church, or you're a convert, we all have a story to tell. We've been
focusing on family history work a lot lately, and what better story than your
conversion to pass to your posterity! Super cool. Give it a try!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
