Im going to be a senior campanion...that poor girl

So...transfers this week...this whole week Hna Hanson and I have been saying that we are going to just stay together because, yeah, it would have been epic. However, she had to go and be all righteous...or super apostate...(quien sabe?) and she's going to be a Sister Training Leader with Hermana White in North Sac. SO CRAZY! Hermana Arntsen is going to Argentina, so you guessed it! I am staying here in my beloved South Sac! Hermana Gigger is going to come up here from Tracy. She just finished training so I am going to be senior companion...that poor girl :) Naw. It's going to be fun! I met her at Zone Conference last week and she is super chill. And, according to Hermana Arntsen, she already knows Spanish. That's half of the battle :)
     So, Temple Conference was uh-mazing! It was so nice to go back and just feel the peace that is there. I love the temple so much! If anyone reading this is going on a mission listen up: go as much as you can before because you don't get to go very much during! We wanted to go today for P-day but President told the mission that we weren't going to go because everyone was just there...bummer. Funny story: we did a nativity as a zone and I got to be an angel (first time in my life). So that's how I met Hermana Gigger because she was an angel too! :)
     We are still teaching Carlos. He is progressing slowly, but steadily. We are really hoping to try and get his wife to come and listen with us because I know that her would be more receptive if another member of his family was with him. I can't even imagine being the only member of my family. I am so blessed to have this gospel in my life!
     We are also still working with Brianna and Natalie. More so Brianna because she is just soaking it all up like a sponge. We are doing a Nativity activity with her and her siblings tonight so we are hoping to talk to her mom. I say that all of the time, but we really need to do it. It's hard because she always makes a bee-line for the door when we walk in. So, pray for us! She is so cute! I absolutely love them!
     We finally were able to teach Marta and Arturo again. This time, their three boys Arturo Jr, Ezekiel, and Isaac came in with us because we watched "La Restauracion" and they loved it! I think that Marta and Jr. have a lot of promise. We just need to get them to church. That seems to be the problem with a lot of people...they want the blessings without the work. But we are going to help them see the blessings of going to church!
     We had an amazing activity here in this area. Every year they have a display of nativities at the church in Elk Grove and it is HUGE! Like, the church is shut down for the weekend. Church services have to be moved. It is the best thing in the world. There were about 519 nativities. People come from all over the place. We did a turn in one of the rooms talking to people for a few hours on Saturday night. They also have a display of Salt Lake Temple Square so we took pictures in Temple Square :)
     We, seriously, had so much fun this week but I don't have the time or space in an e-mail to write it all. Plus, people might think that we never work. Pretty sure Elder Nelson said it was missionary fun not missionary work :) I love my comps so stinking much and, I won't lie, I cried when I found out that Hna Hanson and I were going to be separated...however, I know that the Lord has good things in store for both of us. I am also really going to miss Hna Arntsen! Maybe she and Hna Syphus will be comps...that be funny! Because Hna White and Hna Toro were comps and now Hna Hanson and Hna White are going to be comps. All of my old comps are comps! Ha! 
     Well, I love you all and I am beyond words excited to see you all next week! Sister Lesley is going to let us use her computers :) Well, Stay classy and know that I love you with all of my bum! I would say heart...but my bum is bigger :)

Love, Hermana Freestone
