I'm sorry I'm not writing much today, transfers are happening tomorrow. I am staying here in Tahoe, Sister Underly is going to Carson. My new companion is Sister Cordle and we are taking over a new area plus our original
area! Love you!
I had a pretty good week. On Monday after doing my needed chores, we went for a mini hike, took a nap (2 hours ahhhh ya:) and then had dinner with a
widower in the Ward who was super nice, and the food super delicious:) Monday night
we stayed the night in Reno with our STLS.
On Friday we finally met a less active
that we have been searching for. We have been praying we
would find her and we were talking about it that day and then we saw
her!!!!!!!!!! We had an amazing church tour with one of our new investigators. The Spirit was very strong in the
church. So here's the thing----------that very nice moment when The investigator is cold and Sister Underly gives the jacket right
off her back to her. It was such a Christ like thing to do. After that she (with
Sister Underly's jacket) left the church. We were locking up when we
were about to go outside and get in our car and Sister Underly says, "I just need to
get the keys really quick!" I asked, "where are the keys?" She responded, "In
my coat pocket!" She realized that she gave her jacket away and...
THE KEYS TO OUR CAR:) Hahahahaha it was an adventure trying to get them back:)
This week was very interesting on Lunes we went hiking with a sweet lady.
She took us to the Flume Trail where Bonanza was filmed.
Then we played volleyball with one of our recent converts and
the Elders. We also had a lesson with a potential
investigator. 
Martes was a day filled with many miracles! Had an amazing lesson with
an investigator that has been an investigator for over a year. He loves everything
and knows it is true, but he is still afraid to get baptized, but I will be patient,
because baptism is a huge life changer to make. We saw one of less active ward members. He has been slowly making progress, he doesn't
feel comfortable with prayer or church but enjoys reading the Book of
Mormon, so baby steps is good. He told Sister Underly and
I, "There's something in your eyes, this light, that no one really has, but both of you." So that was sweet. :) The spirit is real and people can
notice...but I wish some people noticed they can have the same thing as well.
A recent convert came with us to a lesson with one of our investigators, it was very powerful. We met a guy
who served Spanish speaking mission in Guatemala. He recited D&C 4 to
one of our investigators, it was very powerful. Oh and he had a cinco de mayo
fiesta:) 
All is well here, this week was really good and I learned a lot. We had to
go to a funeral on Saturday, the family wanted us to come so we did. It just
reminded me how true and real the Plan of Salvation is. No matter what happens,
it will all be ok. 
This week was a little harder. The work is not really progressing
and my feelings are a little heavy today. P-Days are my hardest because those
are the days I miss home the most. Sometimes I feel lost because I don't want to
go home but at the same time I feel drained out and I've only been out for 4
months. I know I have to stay positive, but sometimes it is hard. I have a feeling this will be my last transfer her, but I would love to stay in Lake Tahoe for
awhile. It is so beautiful here and I can't wait to road trip here after my mission is done! 
I gave a talk in Church yesterday in both the English and Spanish
Sacrament meetings. That was nerve racking. I feel my Spanish is improving. The best thing about
this week was getting your package, it made my whole week! :)
My most spiritual moment was when we met this member who just moved in the
ward from Hawaii! She is a caregiver 24/7 and so incredibly strong. We had
dinner with her yesterday and she gave the most beauitful prayer I have heard
in a very long time! 
My week was pretty good. Some ups and downs but every week does. On Monday
last week we went on a 8 mile bike ward with the Elders and some Ward members. We went on this trail called the Regional Legacy Trail, but before we
started my bike had to give me troubles, of course. My back tire decided to go
flat. But the Ward member got it fixed really quick.
It only took him like 10 minutes, he was fast. Then we
headed on the trail and then in the first 5 minutes Elder Baker crashed, but he was
ok, just a bloody arm. The trial was amazing. The boys were up ahead and the girls were pretty far behind me in the back so I enjoyed
the ride by myself for a little. It was so nice, fresh air, beautiful view and
I just talked to Heavenly Father. It was awesome! Then after our lovely
adventure we went to this burger place called Burger Me. I had a little burger
with garlic fries, it was yummy!:) I want to take you all here it is awesome.
In February we randomly met
a guy at the grocery store. He looked at us and said, "Should I
ask the normal questions, where are you from and how long have you been out?"
It turns out he was a returned missionary too. Non one in the Ward knew of him, so we found out where he lives and went to visit
him on Tuesday. He told us all about his mission and showed us pictures. You
could just tell he had a strong testimony. But the thing I can't figure out is
why he is not active. After we went to
his house I got really sick and we ended up having to come home because I was
that bad. I slept for four hours and I had flu like symptoms, but did not throw
up. Sister Underly said I got super pale too. Then I woke
up for like 20 minutes at 7 pm 'ish and then went back to sleep for the rest of the
night. So I got almost over 14 hours of sleep! 
On Thursday I got some cool Pokemon cards from a little boy we
are teaching. All of his family are members but they were less active for
awhile. After dinner we were going to have a lesson, but the topic of Tithing came up, I simply shared my testimony
about Tithing and shared some experiences. We had
to weekly plan today as well, and you know how much I love that. 
We did a 7 1/2 hours service project on Saturday. We were beat! We had to take a nap
for a little while because we were so worn out, then we ate over at the Ward Mission Leader's house again. 
Good news here I am not getting
transferred and neither is Sister Underly. SO we will be together for Mothers
Day! My address is the same!:) To be honest my homesickness is
getting way better. I have been learning to rely on the Lord. I have a strong testimony on the Plan of Salvation.
Sometimes it is hard to realize and wonder why bad things happen
but it is only to test our faith. My trials are no where near close to bad, I
have a great life and even when it sucks at times I know I can go to sleep with
my testimony and knowing Heavenly Father loves us and He lives.
