Transfer Waltz, last week in Las Cruces

It's that time of year when the phone rings at night and the pit forms in your stomach as you eagerly await the news. Time to pack your bags full of things, things that you really need - which is what I am doing today. The call came and I am leaving Las Cruces. I will be shipping out of here tomorrow morning. Time to fit in a few more lessons before the transfer van calls my name!

transfers are bittersweet things - I really feel at home here - The bishop and his wife have really taken us under their wing and taken care of us- I am sure you noticed that momma! but really it has been so wonderful serving here and seeing the work explode! I am sad to be leaving that - but real excited for the next grand adventure! and it will be an adventure trying to fit everything into my suitcases - eep!

Last update on the work in Las Cruces - carlos still is not baptized. He flew out of town this last week for a soccer game. He is still progressing though and is still really excited about church and the gospel. I know when the time is right for him - he will take the plunge! literally!

Ryan loved the plan of salvation and was super excited to read in the Book of Mormon about it - and where was he going to read it? to the ancient ruins in Mexico! how cool! he was reading their history in the place it was written! how neat is that! oh its pretty neat! He is just a wonderful person and I am so happy I was able to be part of his journey home.

Miracle of the week - We were on splits this week and Sister Field and SIster Yenchik went out together while I wnet with the Bishops wife -and while they were out they did some knocking and they happened to knock into a member of the picacho ward - and a child of record in our ward was there! and they had just been talking about how she needed to meet with the missionaries and get baptized finally! and she agreed to meet with us! yahoo! and we had approached her just two weeks prior tho that and asked - oh the power of members! so we had a lesson with her this week and the spirit was so strong! it was a miracle. so exciting. 

the foundation has been laid here at NMSU - it will surely explode now! just in time for everyone to go home for summer vacation. yay!

Until next week dear family- who knows where I will be- oh He ^ does.. 

I love you all!
