Transfers are this week and they are the craziest transfers that have ever happened!

So you know how we were in a temporary trio covering all of Tracy last transfer? We were expecting to have a 4th missionary sent to us for the upcoming transfer so we could split Tracy into two areas again. This in our mind was an absolute necessity because both areas need much more time and attention than they are getting.
But instead, Hermana Cuesta (my companion that I was origianally assigned when I started this transfer) is leaving and Hermana Sanchez (the comp I inherited half way through that was in the other half of Tracy) and I are staying. the two of us will continue to cover ALL OF TRACY!

So that's stressful but I love my companion and I'm so excited to work super hard and bring in the Harvest for the Lord!

Meanwhile this week was amazing.

We had so much fun! We met a man playing the guitar in a park. He was quite the character. He had a beard and a feather in his hat and he said he was part native american and a teacher at his baptist church. He sang us songs about Jesus and then we sang him some. I love cool people.

Another significant event of the week:

Saturday, it's the coolest day of the week. We chose this day to ride our bikes. We are having a dandy time, riding around, sharing the message of Salvation, living the missionary life. We are stopped on a corner and I look around, appreciating the beauty  of the day. I comment to my companions "What an amazing day! And look, none of us have even hurt ourselves biking yet."

Ya know, Karma and I have not always been on great terms. And sure enough with a comment like that, BOOM. Tragedy strikes. Less than a minute later I encounter some overgrown bushes and next thing I know I hit the pavement. Hermana Cuesta calls out to Hermana Sanchez "She's down! Man down!" and when they turn back only my legs tangled in my bicycle are visible.

It was pretty funny, I'm not gonna lie.

I was fairly unscathed, I escaped with just a scraped up knee. But the shame of eating on the sidewalk of the busiest street in Tracy will continue to haunt me.

Well, that's about all the time I have today folks!

I love you all!
