This is my life...

Dear Family:
 
Well, I'm being transferred back to Spanish. This is kind of bitter-sweet for me. I have really grown to love Sunnyside and the Sister and Elders I work with. And honestly, I've loved being able to actually communicate with those I talk to! Ha ha I've been spoiled with English. I had my last Sunday with everyone yesterday and it was a great one. Annette Hood was baptized!!! I'll try and attach pictures. She was just glowing and afterwards she bore such a sweet testimony and one of her boys, Maurice, stood up and thanked everyone for being so kind to his mother. He said he could see how happy she is and how her life has changed. He is now taking the discussion with the Elders. :) Nailed it! I'm so sad to leave Annette, she made me promise to write her and invite her to my wedding. I love her!! Want to know why else yesterday was awesome? We were "fed" by Sis. Helton. She brings us the weather report for the week from the newspaper every week with usually some kind of canned food. Last week is was evaporated milk...and this week is was a couple pork chops in a bag. I'm not sure how old they were an how long they had been unrefridgerated but we chucke them just incase. I'm sure though Camille would have eaten them. ;) So from Mom's email she said everyone was guessing what I was doing on Sunday night. I was eating lots and lots of spaghetti. And cheesecake. We were over at the Samperts, Monika and Ronny, and they are amazing! They are a sweet young couple in the ward, the do so much. We went over after the baptism which was at like 4. Elder Pooper(Cooper) made banana muffins, they are ridiculously good! But the last cake he made for district meeting was gross. It was so dry and he didn't know what to do for icing...powdered sugar and kool-aid. WHAT??? Who even thinks of that?? He's been in Sunnyside too long. But yesterday was really great.
 
The rest of the week was really good as well. We have this lady in the ward, her name is Sis. Norris and she's a hoarder. Whenever we go over to do service we leave with a ridiculous amount of food and random things. I got a purse and a ornament. Woo. She is the sweetests though, curses like a sailor, but the sweetest.
 
Happy birthday to Mandie this week!! I have a card for you...um...but I don't know your new address so you might get the card a week late. But I still love ya! i got an email from Cari and I loved hearing about the boys and I got pictures from the lake! Brayden is such a little stud, it's freaking me out. And apperently Charley is such a little talker but doens't make sense, that's the best age!! I can't believe I'm missing it. I love and miss y'all so much! Y'all should probably send any letters, those never happen though, to my mission office since i'm being transferred. That'll be an excited email next week for sure!!
 
I love y'all and I hope every one is doing great! Thank you for all of the love and support, I pray for every one all the time! Be safe!
 
Love,
Hermana Florence
