Long haul

Hello Family,
 
Well got transfer calls this morning. I will be staying in my area, Hermana O'Neill will be leaving. I had a sick feeling in my stomach all week worrying about transfers, it happens every time. I don't like change. I am glad though that I get to stay. This will be my 4th transfer here, these people are my family! I love this area, I will be happy to stay here for the next 9.5 months. It's possible too, as lots of people have been in an area for more than half of their missions. So I have hope. But I'll do what the Lord asks.
 
I had a brutal experience last night... It was our stake Christmas choir concert. First, as a general fact, Hispanics can't sing. Y'all should go to a Spanish ward just once, and y'all would send me flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep(name that movie!). It was just so painful. Dad(anyone with sense and no missionary name tag) would have walked out. I unfortunately couldn't. I wish I could explain adequately. The best way that I can describe it is like this:imagine a herd of deaf donkeys running over an edge of a cliff while two experienced yodelers try round them up and throw in there an occasional sickly elk being shot and you got what it sounded like.... But as my kind missionary side would say...it was........................................................................................................................................................................................well........................................................................................................bless their souls...............................................................................................................there was great effort.........................................................................................................................................they all looked lovely.
 
 We had an awesome with the Diaz Family yesterday, they still won't set a date for baptism but they are progressing really well and have such a strong desire to be good. They will find their answers soon. They want to really be solid about their choice, which I appreciate. It makes me sad when people will be baptized, for one worldly reason or another, and son't keep working at their testimony and fall away. But this family is solid, they are great, I love them.
 
Well Family I love y'all so much! We are going to lunch with Crystal and Harold today, they are our best friends. :)
 
Have a wonderful week! See y'alls faces on Christmas!
 
Love,
Hermana Erica Florence
