Another week in Rancho.. haha I am starting to think that my mission president just puts me in an area and forgets about me. This is only my second area, and i have spend 5 transfers in both haha. It was a great week though, apparently transfer 5 is the lucky one, because this week was great!

Nothing too exciting happened until Wednesday, so ill start there.

First thing Wednesday morning, i woke up and got going, but it was really weird because Sister Price didn''t get up. I worked out in the living room and started getting ready and she  still wasn't getting up, about 20 minutes into studies she jumped up and threw up in the bathroom. Apparently she had gotten some kind of food poisoning, but after that she felt great and then started the day. Normally i wouldn't include this but it was super cool because i pushed all of our plans back in the day, which caused us to drop some things off to the institute director at the exact time that 6 non-members were showing up to the institute building! it was so awesome, sister price and i split up in the room, and the institute director and i got to talk to this girl for like 45 minutes about how God answers prayers, and sister Price talked to a guy about the gospel in general. But we got to talk to them all and those 2 of them ended up being interested in learning more!  it was awesome :)

On Thursday Sister Price and got to teach one of our investigators that we met the day before, His name is Xavier, he is a little quirky, haha but he is pretty cool. He would make a good missionary thought because he is extremely comfortable with LONG silent pauses.. We would ask him a question and he would stop, wait a minute, turn and stare the window, then wait some more, THEN answer the question..It was great. We also had a few other lessons, but the next miracle was that we went to an institute class that night to try and meet some of the new kids in our ward, when randomly a non member showed up! He apparently had taken lessons before but said the missionaries stopped coming by and he didn't know why, so were going to start teaching him!

Friday and Saturday were a little slower but we met a few more awesome Potentials so we are pretty excited :)

Then on Sunday, we had church and everything, that was normal but after wards we went to go visit someone who lives way up on the mountain and sister Price and i stopped and took some awesome pictures while we were up there, ill make sure to send them :)

But that brings us to Monday, which was AWESOME! i love p-days that fall on holidays because they always seem to end up being really fun. First a few of the sisters all went shopping at goodwill and that is always really fun :) but then our zone went to the park and played soccer. The best part though was that 2 pastors interrupted our game and asked if the could barbecue for us! we of course said yes haha, and we spend the rest of the afternoon cooking and playing volleyball. It was awesome, the 2 people kept saying we were their adopted kids for the day since all of their kids were off in college :)

That was basically the week, it was awesome though, i wish i had more time to tell you all the crazy things that happened, but this is the best summary i could do :)
anyways, thanks for always writing and emailing me,
i love you all so much!
