SANTA ROSA! and I'm a brunette

SANTA ROSA! and I'm a brunette‏

I'm going to Rincon Valley!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still going to be an STL #3transferswut WOOOT WOOT. and mom don't kill me, but I dyed my hair. It is basically like my natural hair color but all over so I am no longer blonde! :0

My new companion is Sister Carter from CANADA! ohhhh canada!

She was Sister Whimpey's trainer and guess who is my apartmentmate?? SISTER FINLINPOOPY!!!!! I GET TO LIVE AND EXCHANGE WITH MY OLD COMPANION! I am beyond excited to live in Santa Rosa during the Holidays. I was worried I was going to get homesick if I stayed here, but I am excited to be in a family WARD and actually get fed. I am also excited to probably be spending Christmas at the mission home. It will be really good. I am super excited.

On the other hand, I am so so sad to leave. I am going to miss the people here soooo much. the members have been so good to us. I am going to miss them a lot. Also, I am going to miss Brooke SOOOO much. I luckily will get to skype in for her baptism and I have told her half a million times that when she gets married in the temple, I want to be there. I have felt so strongly that I am going to be friends with her forever. I love her so much, and I know that is only an inkling of what God feels for her! 

Crazy things happened this week! My companion decided to permanently reassign!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR HER. she is amazing and I am glad we get to keep her here. 

Its crazy that I am almost half way. It doesn't feel like I have been gone that long, and what scares me even more is that I only have that much left! I don't know how I feel about it. I love all the growth and changes I have made. It has made me someone who I never thought I could be. I know that God has even more instore for me and I am so excited. I miss you all so much, and I wish you could all come here and serve with me. I LOVE BEING OUT OF THE WORLD. I never realized how much Satan really does justify so much of the worldly things into latter-day saint life style. Being out here makes me realize how sensitive the spirit is. Because I have learned this I have also become aware that SO many missionaries return home and change back to the person they were before they came out here. I don't want to do that. I am not here for myself, but I have been blessed with so much that I would be a fool to go home and forget all the things that God has taught me.

I love you all so much and I hope you know that God loves you even more!!!!

Have the most wonderful week okay????
