¡Hola mis amigos!     Hahaha how's everyone doing? Another quick week has gone by. We are not starting our 4th week in the transfer! It has been awesome. Love this gospel! I have been studying so much it's crazy. I know so much more than I did before, I'm like a gospel genius!! So fun haha. Anyways, I've got some good news and some bad news...let's start with the good news!! Always gotta be positive first.      - We got a car!! Yup that's right ladies and gentlemen we have got a car!! No more biking for us!! No for real though it's so nice. Now we can actually go visit people and go to member dinners!! - My companion and I made a cake! Well... 4 cakes but 1 of them turned out well. That is not the point! We decorated a cake and it was awesome. - We have had someone almost read all of 1 and 2 Nephi! (That never happens apparently) - God has blessed me with the gift of tongues. My speaking and listening has never been better! (But i still wanna bang my head on...

Hey everybody! Another solid week in Reno, Nevada baby!     Alright so this week was definitely filled with some ups and downs. I have some really good days and then some really bad days, but nonetheless I love being here. Hahaha okay so I have two little stories to share!!      Tuesday morning we get a phone call from some Elders in our zone. They call my comp and say, "Hey, there's this lady, she knows you well, she wants to invite you to come to lunch, then go to her house for service, then go to dinner right after. You down?" I'm sitting there trying to pretend like I didn't hear every word he said hahaha and he goes "LET'S DO IT!" I then was like alright let's go! Fast forward, we go to lunch with her. Her name is Yeya which is grandma in Greek. She is this old Greek orthodox lady who loves the missionaries. She takes them out to all sorts of things. Anyways, we get there and she starts calling everyone weird names. Some names consisted of.....

¡Hola a todos! ¿Que Pasa? Hahaha how's it going everybody? Life in Reno we're back at it again! This week has been pretty good. Went a lot faster than last week which was nice! I'm starting to get to know a lot more people which has been really helpful with my transition. Usually if you're a greenie no one likes you, but I've had a ton of people tell me I'm the best greenie! Let's gooo hahaha. Anyways, we taught a lot of lessons this week. We're out every night teaching at least 4 lessons each time. My comp says this is THE best work in the mission so I've been spoiled! We do service too which is fun. We are still on bikes so we have to ask people for rides all the time hahaha. I'm really liking it here. Me and my comp are pretty close so that makes it a lot easier for me. I have always struggled with being in a one on one setting so when i figured out it was just me and him in our apartment i almost cried haha. We're all good now, no need to...

¡Hola a todos!     Como están?! Hahah I am doing well. My first week has been nothing short of amazing. I have seen God's hand in my life so much. I have been blessed with so many opportunities to share, learn, testify, and study. My testimony continues to grow as I learn to teach others! I'm so happy with what I have in store for me in Reno.     So I left you guys on a cliff hanger last time. Right after I sent my last email I met my companion, got assigned my area, and had an orientation. This day was very overwhelming but nonetheless I still have loved it. My companion's name is Elder Schott. He is from Oklahoma and is a G. He has taught me so much this first week. Our area is called Sierra branch central. Spanish speaking baby!! Yup. That's right. If you're reading this and are surprised, don't be. Getting a Spanish area is hard. There are only 2 zones with Spanish speakers in it. One is Reno and the other is Elko which is 5 hours away. Sooooo I'm in Ren...
