Well I admit that I didn't see it coming, but Sis Fitzgerald and I are getting doubled out and Converse is being closed for one transfer. It's kind of bitter sweet because we finally got a solid investigator with a baptismal date and now we're leaving her. The Elders in the ward next to ours are going to finish teaching her and get her in the water. Her name is Aliegh and she is the cutest thing ever! she's 16 and her friend brought her to church starting back in January and she's been coming for months. We are teaching her in her friend's home and this friend's dad gets really excited about missionary work. It took us 2 hours to get through the first lesson because he kept going off on wild tangents and pulling out these weird scriptures from Isaiah. ugh. it was a really good lesson though and the spirit was really strong. (It was even stronger when obscure passages from the bible were not being shared and the missionaries were able to teach simply and testify.) Silly members, they just aren't quite sure what they're doing sometimes, but we're sure grateful for their help.
Where do I think I'm
being transferred? Riverside. I want to go to Riverside so bad. It's a Spanish
area and I would just about die of happiness if I went there :) Here's the
Mission Office address.

Other news for this
week: Jessica, I got your package and I like it quite a lot. bow ties are cool.
haha :) I've recently finished the book of Acts and I'm waging war with Romans.
I'm pretty sure Romans is on crack. I'm lucky if I understand 5% of what it
says. Luckily it's not a very long book and there are things here and there
that stick out. I much prefer reading in the Book of Mormon. it makes so much
more sense. How can anyone say it's not true. Silly people just don't
understand. We had a ward party on Saturday and it was really fun. The Converse
Ward needs ward parties. That’s all there is to it. These people go to church
together every Sunday and so many of them just don't know each other. I was so
tired by the end of it I just wanted to lie down and die. Luckily it went late
enough that we didn't have to try to go out and tract after that. I'll attach
some pictures.
Also, if you're wondering
why I'm making that weird face and pointing at my arm, well... we went to visit
this 19 year old girl who just moved here and the Relief Society president
asked us to go meet her. Anyway, she was not there, but her little sister was
so we talked to her and she asked if we wanted to see her dog. We said,
"sure," and next thing I know there's a pit bull running at me and
jumping all over me. He never calmed down so she held him back as we escaped
out the front door. When I looked down at my arm it was covered in white, foamy,
pit-bull slobber. Gross.
Oh hey, I hit my 6
month mark on Thursday. That means I only have 12 1/2 months left. How crazy is
that? Also, I've filled up one of my memory cards so I'll try to send it some
to you sometime soon. You could probably just dump it onto my computron and
onto your computron. That way they won’t get lost. (hopefully)
Dear Geandma and
Geandpa. I love you a ton. I would like to get your address so I can write you
letters. I hope everything is going well and that you are both feeling better.
I need to get Arlin's mission home address too so I can write him too.
Youngest sisters, how
is life. You never write me. are you being nice? Summer is almost here. Just
hold on.
Oldest sister. I miss
school so much. I'm super jealous that you're in school and I'm not. Of
course, you're probably jealous of me too. At our dinner appointment we were
telling this family about what we were like when we were human. Oh to be
human...
Next younger sister, how
are you? When do you leave for Sweden? You should send me some pictures
sometime :)
Oldest parent, Hi Mom
:) hehehe. Sorry, I didn't mean to call you old :) I got your letter this week.
I don’t remember at this time what it said, but I remember that it was good and
that it's the only letter I got this week. (nudge nudge rest of family ;)
except for oldest sister of course b/c she sent me a cool pin)
Younger parent, hi
dad. how are you? how's the gardening comming? I miss it. I was in Wal-Mart (I
just looked back through and saw that I had written "walmard" which I
thought was really funny but I didn't want y’all to think I had gotten dumb so
I changed it.) the other day and I saw that they have these little crabs
that you just keep in a fresh water tank and I wanted one so bad, but sis
Fitzgerald said it was against the rules (which it is) and wouldn't let me get
one. Sad day. It's most definitely a good thing I have a companion or I would
break all kinds of rules for the sake of awesomeness and fun. I already kind of
do, but not really :)
"Friend" who
never writes me, what's up? did you get me hate mail? Just wanted to let you
know I don't hate you all the time :)
"Cousin," jk
you really are my cousin. If you read all the way through this just to get to
the part about you, wow. this is a pretty long email. Como
es Argentina? Como es su español? lo mio no existe pero. espero mucho que
voy a un area espanol. ahora tiene my direcion, entonces escribeme. yo se que
la gramatica en estas oraciones es mal pero hago lo mejor que puedo sin un
"key board" en espanol. Tenga una buena semana.
Ok I love you all!
that's it for this week, but I'll let you know as soon as I can where I end up.
Tenga un buen dia.
Hermana Heeder
