Let's start from the beginning though! So Tuesday I got on a ferry and left the island :( really hard!!!! While we were leaving the captain said "Look on the starboard side and you'll see killer whales!!" SERIOUSLY MY DREAM WHILE I WAS ON THE ISLAND WAS TO SEE A WHALE!!! So me and the two elders I was with on the ferry book it to the starboard side (actually didn't know what that was we just followed the people) hahaha AND I SAW A WHOLE POD OF KILLER WHALES!!!!!!!!!!!!! So cool!!! Later I met my new companion Sister Hawke at the TEMPLE!!!!!!!!! Our chapel is like 50 ft from the temple so cool!!!! Sister Hawke and I couldn't contain our excitement ahhahah we were so happy to be companions!!! We still can't believe this is real life!! hahaha That night the Achievement Day girls fed us dinner!! It was so cute! It was like an interview kinda thing and they said they wanted to go on missions and be like

It's like a Greek Gyro IT'S so good!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my goodness!! We've had a lot of success this week! We have 3 new investigators and we found a lot of potentials. One day we decided to let the spirit tell us where we should go (we do that everyday but we just relied solely on the spirit hahah) and we found 3 potentials in less than 30 min!!! SWEET!!! At one house we met two brothers. they were super stoked to hear we were spreading the gospel. One of them (who was obviously first in line when Heavenly Father handed out good looks) said we should pray together! It was awesome! We told him about the book of mormon and he thought it was so cool and he's going to read it! After we did our spirit finding we were kinda lost and abandoned in Surrey area because we didn't have our car...well our ward is so awesome that we just called up a member who works in the mission office and she came and saved us!!!!!!! wooohooo!!!! We also got to ride in Beth's convertible on Saturday!!! She's a recent

My hair was destroyed but it was SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunday of course was fast and testimony meeting and it was so good!!!! totally needed it!!! There were so many people though! I'm used to 40 people at church and here in Langley there's 2 ward and like 200 people in my Brookswood ward!!! CRAZY...EH!!! Sunday we taught a potential named Helen! Her husband is not doing very well and so we planned on teaching her the plan of salvation!! Well she said "i just don't understand. If jesus could do miracles where has that power gone!?" The spirit was like TEACH THE RESTORATION NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha so we did and she totally liked it and agreed with it and we are meeting with her again!!!! She said she didn't understand why that power of God would be gone and why we can't have miracles

too. It was seriously the best lesson!! We're going to visit her husband with her at the hospital this week! She needs the gospel so much!! All the questions she has can be answered through the gospel!!! She also has this little dog named sparkles. Sparkles is a Maltese and it doesn't have any teeth so her tongue hangs out of her mouth...it's the silliest looking dog I've ever seen!!!! hahah Sister Hawke and I are still laughing hysterically!!! Another cool story!!! wow...i'm running out of time!!! Yesterday we were walking through a complex and we saw this lady. Sister Hawke whispered just keep walking she yelled at us bad last time. So I just casually walk by. Well then I hear sister hawke say Hello what are you doing there today? (she was planting a garden with her kids) So i turn around and join the convo (very confused hahah) This lady didn't even remember the missionaries and was totally nice and talked with us about our beliefs for like 30 minutes!!! She wants to

There are so many fun and exciting things happening here!!! I feel so blessed to be able to serve here!!! Sister Hawke and I have WAY TO MUCH FUN!!! hahha we are loving every minute this transfer!! We hope we get to stay together for another transfer after this!!! Ah!! I can't even write about all the fun and awesome things that went on this week!!
